Baird, County Administrator <br /> THROUGH: Christopher R. Mora, P.E., Public Works Director <br /> FROM: W. Keith McCully, P.E., Stormwater Engineer 140 <br /> SUBJECT: CONSENT AGENDA -APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO WORK <br /> ORDER NO. 5-RR FOR THE ROCKRIDGE SUBDIVISION SURGE <br /> PROTECTION PROJECT <br /> DATE: April 4, 2013 <br /> DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br /> The purpose of this agenda item is to request approval of Amendment No. 3 to Work <br /> Order No. 5-RR with the consulting engineering firm Malcolm Pirnie, Inc./Arcadis, for <br /> additional environmental mitigation permitting services for the U.S. Army Corps of <br /> Engineers (USAGE). The Rockridge Surge Protection Project includes mitigation of <br /> impacted wetlands. The proposed mitigation site is on County owned Earman Island <br /> and the additional permitting services are required because an abutting piece of the <br /> island is being used for proposed mitigation for another County project (Oslo Boat <br /> Ramp). Sometime after Malcolm Pirnie submitted the latest Rockridge mitigation site <br /> plan to the USACE, the adjacent Oslo Boat Ramp mitigation site plan was revised at the <br /> request of the USACE. Malcolm Pirnie must now revise its proposed Rockridge <br /> mitigation site plan to show the latest Oslo Boat Ramp mitigation site plan modifications, <br /> and resubmit it to the USACE. Thus, Amendment No. 3 is necessary to harmonize the <br /> activities of the two proposed mitigation sites for the USACE's review. <br /> Obtaining the USACE permit is necessary for this project in order to satisfy <br /> requirements of a FEMA Hazardous Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) contract (Phase <br /> 1 subcontract). This contract was issued shortly after Hurricanes Jean and Francis <br /> devastated the County in 2004. The Rockridge subdivision experienced significant <br /> flooding during Hurricane Francis and the HMGP contract was issued in order to <br /> mitigate future flooding within the subdivision.
