EXHIBIT A Sector 7 (Porpoise Point) Beach and Dune Renourishment Project Scope of Services I. PROJECT BACKGROUND As defined in the Indian River County Beach Preservation Plan (2015) the Sector 7 Beach and Dune Restoration Project is located on the east coast of Florida within Indian River County. The northern boundary of the project is located approximately 18.3 miles south of the Sebastian Inlet and extends approximately 2.2 miles between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Reference (R) Monuments R -97-R-108. The Sector 7 project area has been historically erosional of which a majority (R -99-R-108) is designated by FDEP (2016) as critically eroded. The project was initially nourished in 2007 under FDEP Joint Coastal Permit No. 0215960- 001-1C and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permit no. SAJ-2003-6106 (IP -IS). Permit required post construction monitoring concluded 2011 however, the County continues to collect annual beach profile surveys along the Sector 7 project area. The Sector 7 Project Area sustained damage from Hurricane Matthew (2016) and is in need of renourishment to maintain protection to upland properties and infrastructure. II. SCOPE OF SERVICE A. Provide professional coastal engineering and biological support services, on an open-end project specific services basis, related to the management and renourishment of the Sector 7 project area. B. A description of the scope of services includes but is not limited to the following: • Expertise in planning, environmental investigation, analysis, and related services in preparing design proposals and permitting for the Sector 7 Beach and Dune Restoration Project. • Feasibility analysis of project alternatives, to include cost—effectiveness, permitability, environmentally conscientiousness, engineering soundness, and constructability. • Identification and documentation of environmental impacts of feasible alternatives (i.e. possible impacts to marine turtle nesting and nearshore hardbottom resources). • Experience with numerical hydrodynamic and morphological coastal modeling and utilization of predictive modeling to evaluate project performance.
