Attachment A — SCOPE OF WORK Project Name: Indian River County FWC Agreement No. 18101 Depth ft Artificial Reef Construction 2018-19 Concrete (500 tons) 270 49.962' N include the necessary personnel and equipment to safely transport and deploy the reef material. Reef material loaded on to the transporting vessel must be properly secured in compliance with Coast Guard standards to allow for its safe transport to the reef construction site. 14. The GRANTEE's Project Manager shall complete the FWC Artificial Reef Cargo Manifest form to be maintained onboard the vessel at all times during transport of materials, pursuant to Chapter 379.249, F.S. The form is available on the COMMISSION's website: http://www.myfwc.com/artificialreefs. DEPLOYMENT AND MATERIALS PLACEMENT 15. During the deployment of the artificial reef material, the transport vessel must be held securely in place with minimal movement (<50 feet) to ensure accurate placement of the concrete material in the two artificial patch reefs on the bottom. Material must be arranged to provide habitat complexity as well as provide sand bottom forage area opportunities. Individual concrete structures should not be widely scattered. 16. Any machinery used to move and deploy the reef materials should be sufficiently powered/maneuverable and capably operated to ensure timely, effective and safe off- loading of materials. The tug or transport vessel shall meet all U.S. Coast Guard certification and safety requirements, be equipped with a working, accurate Global Positioning System (GPS) unit and other marine electronics including a working VHF radio. Effective and reliable communications shall exist at all times between the transport vessel, and the designated GRANTEE observer on site. 17. Deployment operations will only be initiated when sea height in the operations area is no greater than two to four feet as forecast by the nearest NOAA weather office. Either the COMMISSION's observer, the GRANTEE's observer or the subcontractor's vessel captain reserves the right to suspend off-loading operations if positioning and other deployment objectives, including safety of personnel and equipment, are not being met. 18. At least 500 tons of secondary -use artificial reef materials under this Agreement will deployed into one patch reef, and at least 10 pre -fabricated reef modules under this Agreement will be strategically clustered approximately 50 feet apart to create a separate patch reef. Each patch reef must be within the permitted area as specified in the deployment plan and listed in Table 1 below at the following coordinates: TABLE 1 Patch Reef # Material Latitude Longitude Depth ft I Concrete (500 tons) 270 49.962' N 800 21.207' W 50-60 2 10 Reef Modules 270 50.052' N 800 21.286' W 50-60 19. The GRANTEE shall provide a bottom survey for COMMISSION review and approval at least 14 days prior to deployment. The bottom survey must be a visual site survey completed by certified SCUBA divers.
