4. <br />Attachment A — SCOPE OF WORK <br />Project Name: <br />Indian River County <br />FWC Agreement No. <br />18101 <br />Artificial Reef Construction 2018-19 <br />complete list of eligible materials and activities. <br />26. If the GRANTEE chooses to conduct a pre -deployment and/or post -deployment <br />SCUBA assessment at the deployment location(s) (post deployment assessment is not <br />required, but is an eligible activity for reimbursement under Chapter 68E -9.004(1)(a), <br />F.A.C.), in order to be eligible for reimbursement, work must be completed within the <br />current grant period and the following items, at a minimum, must be included: <br />a. Methods: name and type of vessel, anchored or live boated, type of GPS unit(s), <br />divers, survey methods; <br />b. Conditions: cloud cover, wind speed and direction, sea conditions, visibility, water <br />temperature, currents; <br />c. Chronology: dive plan, start and end of each dive, dive profile, maximum depth, <br />dive time, distance and bearing searched; <br />d. Coordinates: Describe the GPS unit(s) used to navigate to the site (model number). <br />Describe whether differential or WAAS coordinates were recorded. Compare the <br />dive locations to deployment location numbers. How well do they match the <br />published numbers? <br />e. Physical observations: Describe the number and size of material observed. What <br />is the proximity of concrete pieces or modules to each other? What percent material <br />was damaged or partially damaged? What is the maximum and minimum relief of <br />the site? How do these observations compare to the Material Placement Report <br />Form information submittal? <br />f. Footprint area: Measure the approximate total area covered by each patch reef <br />through standard in situ survey practices. <br />g. Biological observations: Describe any fish .observed, or other general biological <br />observations. <br />h. Video and photographs: Provide representative still and/or video footage of each <br />deployment location (digital format preferred when available). <br />LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILM FOR REEF MATERIALS <br />27. Upon initiation of the handling and movement of these artificial reef materials by the <br />GRANTEE's subcontractor, all. liability, risk of loss and responsibility for the safe <br />handling, storage, transportation and deployment of the materials shall be borne by the <br />subcontractor. This liability, assumption of risk and responsibility shall remain with <br />the subcontractor until the materials are deployed at the permitted reef site in <br />accordance with the specifications in this Agreement. <br />B. BACKGROUND <br />Chapter 379.249 F.S. creates the Florida Artificial Reef Program to enhance saltwater <br />opportunities and to promote proper management of fisheries resources associated with <br />artificial reefs for the public interest. Under the program, the COMMISSION may provide <br />grants and financial and technical assistance to coastal local governments, state universities, <br />and nonprofit corporations qualified under s. 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code for the <br />siting and development of artificial reefs as well as for monitoring and evaluating such reefs <br />and their recreational, economic, and biological effectiveness. Chapter 68E-9 F.A.0 defines <br />the procedures for submitting an application for financial assistance and criteria for allocating <br />Version 1.0 — June 2013 . Attachment A, Page 5 1)812 <br />
