M <br />i. <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />BOARD MEMORANDUM <br />TO: <br />Jason E. Brown <br />County Administrator <br />THROUGH: <br />Richard B. Szpyrka, P.E. <br />Public Works Director <br />FROM: <br />Kendra Cope, M.S. <br />Environmental Specialist <br />SUBJECT: <br />Work Order No. 2 Coastal Waterways Design and Engineering, LLC <br />Construction of Emergency Beach Access at Round Island Park <br />DATE: <br />December 7, 2018 <br />BACKGROUND <br />On April 17, 2018 the Board approved a contract with Coastal Waterways Design and Engineering <br />LLC, for professional coastal engineering services in Indian River County under RFQ 2018008. <br />Coastal Waterways has been selected for professional services related to constructing an <br />emergency beach access at Round Island park. <br />Recently the County was impacted by a Red Tide event. As a result, the County underwent a <br />large-scale marine debris cleanup effort along the entire 22.4 -mile coastline. The County's many <br />public beach accesses were utilized for this cleanup by the contractor, however in South County, <br />an efficient cleanup effort proved difficult due to the lack of a heavy equipment beach access. <br />Having an emergency access available in South County would minimize the difficulties for <br />response to future emergency events. Another use for an emergency access would be for future <br />beach and/or dune nourishment projects. The Sector 7 project area is a critically eroded 2 -mile <br />section of shoreline north of Round Island Beach park that extends from Treasure Cove south to <br />the northern Moorings Subdivision and does not include any public lands. A Sector 7 beach re - <br />nourishment project is planned for winter 2020/2021. <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The proposed Work Order No. 2 provides professional design, permitting and project <br />management services for the construction of an emergency beach access located in Sector 8 just <br />north of Round Island Beach park (Exhibit D). The proposed project will allow for beach access <br />for emergency response within South County, construction access to the critically eroded Sector <br />7 area during re -nourishment projects, as well as, access for emergency vehicles to assist with <br />healthy, safety and security objectives within Round Island Beach Park. <br />Work Order No. 2 totals a lump sum fee of $37,250.00 for design, permitting, and project <br />management. <br />Page 2 101 <br />C:\Users\legistar\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Technologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@D40E651 C\@BCL@D4OE651 C.docx <br />
