AAPTIM August 8, 2019 Page 2 of 5 Task 1: Deliverable APTIM will provide the draft LGFR application to the County for review and comment prior to submittal to the FDEP. If FDEP requests additional information, APTIM will respond and provide additional information in conjunction with and on behalf of the County as needed. Once initial project rankings and initial project assessments are provided by FDEP, we will review the initial project assessment on behalf of the County and, if warranted, provide the County with a draft letter to the FDEP identifying the areas within the applications that may provide additional points to the County. Task 1: Schedule APTIM will submit the LGFR application by the deadline. Task 1: Cost The lump sum cost for this task is $8,702.00. Task 2: Immediate Post -Construction Nearshore Hardbottom Biological Monitoring The Biological Monitoring Plan developed for the Sector 5 project during permitting requires post -construction biological monitoring of the hardbottom resources adjacent to the project area to monitor for potential secondary impacts. The scope for this task is based on the FDEP-approved Biological Monitoring Plan (0363427 -001 -JC). The post -construction nearshore hardbottom monitoring shall include: 1) Hardbottom edge mapping 2) Monitoring permanent transects Task 2: Scope of Work 1) Hardbottom Edge Mapping: APTIM shall map the position of the nearshore hardbottom edge for the entire Sector 5 project area, including 1000 feet north (updrift) and 2000 feet south (downdrift) of the project area (R-69 to R-88) for a length of approximately 3.6 miles. A buoy with a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) antenna linked to a topside laptop computer running HYPACK navigational software will be towed by divers to record the position of the nearshore hardbottom edge. The divers will follow the inshore contour of the most prominent hardbottom-sand border. The purpose of the survey is to provide a comparison for pre- and all subsequent post -construction edge delineations. 2) Monitoring Permanent Transects: Twenty (20) transects were established along the length of project influence, which includes 1000 feet north (updrift) and 2000 feet south (downdrift). This includes nine (9) biological monitoring transects and eleven (11) sediment only transects. All transects were established perpendicular to the shoreline and extend from the nearshore hardbottom edge to a maximum distance of 50 meters seaward. APTIM will conduct the immediate post -construction biological survey of the hardbottom using quadrat assessments, sediment measurements and video/photo documentation as detailed in the Biological Monitoring Plan. Up to nine (9) 0.5-m2 quadrats will be sampled along each transect to quantify the benthic community. Sediment data will be collected using line -intercept and 1-m interval sediment depth measurements, and video documentation will also be collected for the length of each transect. It is anticipated that the effort to
