EXHIBIT A -SCOPE OF WORK Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. is pleased to submit this proposal for professional engineering services to Indian River County Utility Department for engineering services to provide for the relocation of 20' forcemain located near Main Street and the Railroad tracks in Sebastian, FL. The relocation is required due to the pipeline being constructed outside its easement and within Railroad R/W. PROJECT BACKGROUND & UNDERSTANDING On February 1, 2021, Eric Flavell and Bill Archebelle met with John Boyer with IRCDUS Engineering and Duke Hawkins with Operations to review the scope of the problem. The pipeline was constructed in 1989. The record drawings show a 22.50 -degree bend and all pipe within the easement. The pipeline has been located and apparently the fitting was eliminated, and the pipeline was "roped" (joints pulled to effect the change in direction) which required about 300' to accomplish. This resulted in the pipeline meandering about 13' inside the Railroad R/W. The County is interested in evaluating the situation to evaluate the alternatives. The alternatives are 1) relocate the pipeline so it is contained within the existing easement and 2) leave the pipeline where it is an obtain right of encroachment into the Railroad R/W where it is currently constructed. We reviewed the proposed relocation in the field during our meeting and have collected thoughts and concerns of Mr. Boyer and Mr. Hawkins and will develop a concept level sketch for the proposed relocation based on that information and further engineering analysis. We understand the County would like the following work included. Review options to determine issues and costs associated with each. Locates and potholes for connections and clearance. Topographic mapping of the site for design purposes, we will work with the County on utility locates so they can be included in the topographic mapping. We propose the consultant team of Bowman with ISS Survey and Blood Hound for locates. SCOPE OF SERVICES We propose to provide the following services: Task 1 —Alternatives Evaluation (Bowman Consulting) Kick-off Meeting with summary meeting notes. 2. Contact Railroad to determine permitting requirements and cost of improvements located within their right of way. 3. Contact City of Sebastian to determine permitting requirements for Main Street and restrictions for the work. 4. Develop concept level drawing of proposed improvements and utilities as located visually (not surveyed) from field marks and from information obtained from the utilities contacted observed in the field 5. Prepare a conceptual level opinion of cost for leaving the 20" Forcemain as presently located within the Railroad RNV and for constructing the proposed relocation as shown in the concept level sketch.
