INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA MEMORANDUM TO: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator THROUGH: Richard B. Szpyrka, P.E., Public Works Director FROM: Eric Charest, Natural Resources Manager OF SUBJECT: Amendment No. 2 — FDEP Grant Agreement No. 171112 (Wabasso Beach Restoration Project (Sector 3)) DATE: May 4, 2021 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) received FY 2016/2017 funding to assist eligible governmental entities for beach erosion control activities under the Florida Beach Management Funding Assistance Program. On February 26, 2018, FDEP entered into Local Government Funding Request (LGFR) Grant Agreement No. 171R2 with Indian River County; committing up to $250,000, at a cost share ratio of 50% State - 50% Local, for permit -required construction related monitoring of the Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project. On June 22, 2018, Grant Agreement 171R2 was amended by the FDEP to increase amount of funding by $643,102.60 (at a cost share ratio of 50% State - 50% Local) as a result of unused funds from a prior LGFR grant issued to the County for Sector 3 Beach and Dune repairs (LGFR 141R2). Amendment No. 1 increased the total eligible grant project costs under LGFR 171112 to $893,102.60 at a cost share ratio of 50% State — 50% Local. On May 4, 2021, in response to a request from the County to FDEP for an extension to the Task End Dates identified in the original agreement and Amendment No. 1, FDEP issued Amendment No. 2 to Grant 171112. Amendment No. 2 maintains the same funding levels, but extends the Task End Dates through to September 30, 2022, reflecting a twenty (20) month extension to the deadlines for the completion of all tasks and submittal of deliverables. The extension request by the County was necessary due to the Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project being split up over 2 construction seasons (Winter 2020/2021 and Winter 2021/2022) due to the size and complexity of the project. The FDEP granted extension will allow time for project completion and required deliverable submittals. The attached amendment maintains FDEP's commitment of up to $446,551.30 in cost -share funding to the County's local cost share of up to $446,551.30, totaling up to $893,102.60 for monitoring and design related expenses for the County's Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project. Cost -share is outlined in the below table. 104
