INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />BOARD MEMORANDUM <br />gc. <br />Consent <br />TO: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />THROUGH: Richard B. Szpyrka, P.E., Public Works Director <br />FROM: Kendra L. Cope, M.S., Coastal Resources Coordinator <br />SUBJECT: Amendment to DEO Grant — Living Shoreline <br />DATE: May 3, 2019 <br />BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION <br />On October 16, 2018 the board approved a 100 percent cost reimbursement grant from the <br />Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) to construct an educational living shoreline <br />demonstration at Round Island Park. On January 8, 2019, the board executed an agreement with <br />an updated scope which removed the requirement of using oysters in the project. <br />Staff constructed the living shoreline in February at Round Island by removing invasive plants and <br />planting native salt -tolerant vegetation along the shoreline of the kayak launch to protect the <br />high use area from erosion and storm damage. When staff submitted the report for deliverable <br />1, post construction, DEO staff decided additional changes needed to be made to the scope of <br />work. DEO staff suggested making an amendment so the Project Description, Grantee <br />Responsibilities, and Deliverables Table better fit the project. These changes include the <br />following deletions and replacements: <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The original has been deleted in its entirety and replaced with "Grantee <br />shall plan and construct a living shoreline demonstration site within Round Island Park to enhance <br />the existing living shoreline and provide public education on the benefits of living shorelines." <br />GRANTEE'S RESPONSIBILTIES: The original has been deleted in its entirety and replaced with <br />"Grantee shall timely perform the Deliverables and Tasks described in this Section 3. Grantee's <br />Responsibilities and in Section 5. Deliverables below, and in doing so, Grantee shall comply with <br />all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. <br />A. Deliverable 1. Grantee shall plan and construct a living shoreline demonstration site, and <br />shall enhance the habitat and educational value of the site through removal of exotic plant <br />species and replanting with native plants. <br />B. Deliverable 2. Grantee shall design and install educational signage about living shorelines <br />and their importance for a healthy estuarine system. A minimum of two (2) educational videos <br />shall be created and linked to the educational signage via Quick Response Codes ("QR codes")." <br />DELIVERABLES TABLE: This has been deleted in its entirety and replaced with deliverable tasks, <br />timelines and costs that align with the reorganization of the above Grantee's Responsibilities. <br />Page 2 <br />C:\Users\legistar\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Technologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@680ECE68\@ BCL@680ECE68.docxl6 <br />
