INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />THROUGH: Richard B. Szpyrka, P.E., Public Works Director <br />FROM: Eric Charest, Natural Resources Manager <br />r <br />SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1— FDEP Grant Agreement No. 191112 (Indian River County <br />Hurricane Irma Recovery Project (Sector 7 Beach and Dune Restoration)) <br />DATE: October 6, 2021 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) received FY 2018/2019 funding to <br />assist eligible governmental entities for beach erosion control activities under the Florida Beach <br />Management Funding Assistance Program. On July 22, 2019, FDEP entered into Local <br />Government Funding Request (LGFR) Grant Agreement No. 191112 with Indian River County; <br />committing up to $307,538.00 for design and permit -required construction related activities for <br />the Sector 7 Beach and Dune Restoration Project. <br />On September 29, 2021, in response to a request from the County to FDEP for an extension to <br />the Task End Dates identified in the original agreement, FDEP issued Amendment No. 1 to Grant <br />191112. Amendment No. 1 maintains the same funding levels, but extends the Task Deliverable <br />Due Dates through to September 30, 2023, with the amended grant agreement reflecting a <br />twenty-five (25) month extension. The extension request by the County was necessary due to <br />the Sector 7 Beach and Dune Restoration Project being delayed on two occasions (construction <br />postponed in the 2020/2021 season and once again postponed in the 2021/2022 construction <br />season) due to lack of stakeholder support in the form of executed easement agreements <br />allowing for the placement of sand in accordance with design and permit constraints. <br />Construction for the Sector 7 project is now targeted to take place in the 2022/2023 construction <br />season should the County receive adequate easement agreements within the project area to <br />determine the project as constructible. The FDEP granted extension will allow time for this <br />project to complete and required deliverables submitted should construction take place in the <br />2022/2023 construction window. <br />The attached amendment maintains FDEP's commitment of up to $307,538.00 in funding to the <br />County for design and construction related expenses for the County's Sector 7 Beach and Dune <br />Restoration Project. Breakdown of funding is outlined in the below table. <br />Task # <br />Eligible <br />Project Task <br />DEP Cost <br />Share (%) <br />DEP Cost Share <br />Local Cost <br />Share <br />Total <br />Deliverable <br />Due Date <br />1 <br />Monitoring <br />100.00% <br />$ 16,613.00 <br />$ 0.00 <br />$ <br />16,613.00 <br />09/30/2023 <br />2 <br />Design <br />100.00% <br />$ 290,925.00 <br />$ 0.00 <br />$ <br />290,925.00 <br />09/30/2023 <br />Total <br />1 <br />1 $ 307,538.00 <br />$ 0.00 <br />$ <br />307,538.00 <br />35 <br />
