Exhibit A --Scope of Work Overview Kimley-Horn Associates Inc., hereinafter referred to as the "Consultant," has been contracted by the Indian River County, hereinafter referred to as the "County, to provide Continuing Engineering Services under Agreement RFQ 2018008. The contractual terms and reference for this task order are based on Agreement RFQ 2018008. Background In 2018, Indian River County revised its 2030 Comprehensive Plan - Coastal Management Element (CME) to bring it into compliance with the Peril of Flood Requirements of Sec. 163.3178(2)(0 F.S. During that process, potential sea level rise (SLR) inundation scenarios were mapped and impacts based on general land use types were analyzed. Basic mitigation and adaptation strategies were also discussed during the CME update. To build upon this effort, a more specific analysis of SLR and flooding risk is needed. To do this, a vulnerability assessment for assets, infrastructure, and communities in Indian River County will be completed. in addition, and as part of this project, the vulnerability assessment will be used to develop adaptation strategies that address the risk of impacts from SLR and coastal flooding. While the proposed grant project will cover the unincorporated areas of Indian River County located east of I- 95 (excluding the City of Vero Beach, City of Sebastian, City of Fellsmere, Town of Orchid and Town of Indian River Shores), the main area of focus will be the coastal areas along the eastern end of the study area (see Figure 1 below). The grant for this project was made possible through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Resilient Coastlines Program.
