ATKINS <br /> It is anticipated that a Nationwide Permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and a State <br /> regulatory exemption under Section 373.406(6)or a General Permit under 62-330.443 FAC(minor bridge <br /> removal) from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) will be required prior to the <br /> start of the demolition work. This is based on the type of work(demo/removal only, no new installation) <br /> and anticipated impact area to submerged resources (less than one-half acre). No other permits are <br /> anticipated or included with this scope of services. <br /> These services shall include the following tasks: <br /> A. The Engineer will conduct two individual preapplication teleconferences,one with permitting staff <br /> from FDEP and the other with USACE,or a single meeting on site with both agencies present. The <br /> intent of the discussion is to review the permitting requirements and regulations with the purpose <br /> of identifying any issues that may have significant impacts on the desired project elements and <br /> costs. Comments received from the agencies will be incorporated into the planning and <br /> construction documents and used to facilitate an efficient permitting process. <br /> B. The Engineer will prepare the appropriate application forms, assemble the application packages, <br /> and submit them for agency review for the USACE Nationwide and FDEP General permits noted <br /> above. The County may be required to provide application fees, application signatures, or other <br /> documentation in their possession. <br /> C. The Engineer will coordinate with the FDEP and USACE after their receipt of the applications. <br /> The Engineer shall prepare and submit up to one(1)reply to a Request for Additional Information <br /> (RAI) from FDEP and USACE, assuming the RAI does not require significant changes to the <br /> anticipated performance of the project. Subsequent RAIs or significant changes to the project <br /> would be outside the scope of this Task Order and will need to be provided as additional services. <br /> Since this is only a demolition project, creation or modification of a State Submerged Lands Lease or <br /> Easement is not anticipated or included in this scope. The County will need to provide a copy of the existing <br /> submerged lands lease for the bridge/pier. No other local, state, or federal permits are anticipated, nor <br /> included with this scope of services. <br /> It is understood that the County has received approval for disposal of the demolition debris at an offshore <br /> location, and does not require any assistance from the engineer in that pursuit. Any assistance with this <br /> approval, or modification to the offshore disposal approval, would be outside the scope of this Task Order <br /> and would need to be provided as additional services. <br /> TASK 2: CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT PREPARATION <br /> The Engineer shall develop the preliminary plans into a complete demolition plan set and accompanying <br /> specifications to meet the County's intended purpose of complete removal of the existing pier while <br /> following generally accepted engineering standards and permitting requirements. <br /> The construction document preparation services shall include the following tasks: <br /> A. Participate in one meeting with the County to facilitate the completion of the construction <br /> documents. The meeting shall be held at the project site or the County's offices. <br /> B. The Engineer shall make one plan submittal to the County during the construction plan <br /> development process. Following receipt of the regulatory permitting approvals,the Engineer shall <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
