INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />BOARD MEMORANDUM <br />CONSEN <br />TO: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />THROUGH: Richard B. Szpyrka, P.E., Public Works Director <br />THROUGH: Eric Charest, Natural Resources Manager <br />FROM: Quintin Bergman, M.S., Sea Turtle Environmental Specialist <br />SUBJECT: Sector 3 Beach & Dune Nourishment Project <br />APTIM Amendment No. 1 to Work Order 2018006-4 (IRC 1926) <br />DATE: April 2, 2020 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />On January 9, 2018, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a <br />contract with APTIM Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc. (APTIM) for professional coastal <br />engineering and biological support services related to the management and nourishment of the <br />Sector 3 (Wabasso Beach) beach project area (RFQ#2018006). <br />The Sector 3 project area is a critically eroded 6.6 -mile section of shoreline that extends from the <br />Seaview Subdivision south to the Turtle Trail beach park. The Sector 3 project area sustained <br />damage from Hurricane Matthew (2016), Irma (2017), and Dorian (2019) creating the need for <br />repair. <br />On December 4, 2018 the BCC approved Work Order No. 2018006-4 in the amount of <br />$150,613.60, to provide professional services in support of pre -construction biological <br />monitoring. <br />Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) permitting requires pre- and post - <br />construction biological monitoring adjacent to the project area to monitor for potential <br />secondary impacts to nearshore natural hardbottom. This is completed through the use of <br />transects that divers monitor within the project area. The original Work Order 2018006-4 <br />contains a task of establishing and monitoring thirty (30) permanent transects. The need for <br />Amendment No. 1 to Work Order 2018006-4 has resulted from the FDEP Requests for Additional <br />Information (RAI) and permitting process during which the Biological Monitoring Plan was revised <br />to include the installation and monitoring of thirty-eight (38) permanent transects. <br />APTIM provided a cost proposal of $26,840.30 to accomplish the additional eight (8) transects as <br />detailed in proposed Amendment No. 1 to APTIM Work Order 2018006-4. County staff has <br />reviewed the proposed cost for Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $26,840.30 and found the <br />cost to be in line with the current approved work order and existing professional services <br />agreement. <br />83 <br />
