Public Works Director FROM: Molly Klinepeter, M.S., Lagoon Plan Environmental Specialist SUBJECT: Work Order No. 13 - Morgan & Eklund, Inc. 2020 Beach Profile Monitoring Surveys (WINTER) DATE: January 7, 2020 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS On October 4, 2016, the Board approved a contract with Morgan and Eklund, Inc. (M&E) for Professional Land Surveying and Mapping Services for a two-year term. The Board amended the Contract on October 18, 2016. The contract was renewed for an additional two-year term on October 4, 2018. M&E is the selected County Consultant for professional onshore/offshore hydrographic surveying services. The County's Beach Preservation Plan recommends semi-annual beach profile surveys in order to monitor the seasonal, summer and winter, fluctuations of the beach. Proposed Work Order No. 13 provides winter -time countywide hydrographic surveying (beach profile) services for the Sector 3 and Sector 7 Beach Restoration Projects and additional surveying to begin a 2020 countywide (22.4 miles) monitoring effort. Additionally, the winter 2020 Sector 7 beach profile survey will provide necessary data for the design of the upcoming Sector 7 beach re -nourishment project. All onshore and offshore beach profile surveys are conducted along the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Range Monuments at approximately 1,000 foot intervals (alongshore) and extend from the vegetated dune seaward to a location approximately -40 feet offshore (cross -shore). Only Sector 7 has additional quarter and half monument intervals to follow the physical monitoring requirements of the previous Sector 7 beach nourishment project. For project tracking purposes, Work Order No. 13 is divided into three (3) separate tasks. Task 1: Winter 2020 Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project Monitoring Survey (R-15 to R- 60, 46 Onshore/Offshore Profile Lines) In 2012, the County completed construction of the Sector 3 Beach Restoration Project, which was subsequently repaired in 2015. The County has completed all Permit required post construction monitoring for the Sector 3 Project.

Task 1 includes all surveying (7.5 miles) 74
