O w INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA BOARD MEMORANDUM WORM TO: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator THROUGH: Richard B. Szpyrka, P.E., Public Works Director FROM: Eric Charest, Natural Resources Manager SUBJECT: Work Order No. 17 - Morgan & Eklund, Inc. 2022 Beach Profile Monitoring Surveys (WINTER) DATE: November 15, 2021 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS On October 4, 2016, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) 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 a two-year term on October 4, 2018 and then again on October 4, 2020 for an additional two-year term. 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. 17 provides winter -time countywide hydrographic surveying (beach profile) services for the Sectors 3, 5, and 7 Beach Nourishment Projects and additional surveying to begin a 2022 countywide (22.4 miles) monitoring effort. 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). For project tracking purposes, Work Order No. 17 is divided into four (4) separate tasks. Task 1: Winter 2022 Sector 3 Phase 1 Physical Monitoring Survey (R-15 to R-60, excluding active construction zone of R-40 to R-55, 30 Onshore/Offshore Profile Lines) The County is required by the FDEP Permit to monitor the physical changes associated with the Sector nourishment project semi-annually to determine the long-term performance of the project and if infrastructure may be vulnerable to storm damage. As Phase 2 of the County's Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project will be underway during the Winter 2022 Physical Monitoring Survey, survey lines for R-40 through R-55 have been excluded from the survey work. Pre- and Post- sand placement surveys will be collected in this area during construction. The remaining hydrographic survey data collected from this task is required year 1 post construction monitoring of the Sector 3, Phase 1 Nourishment Project. Task 1 includes surveying (approx. 5.7 miles) to provide on-going 2022 physical monitoring data for the Sector 3 Beach and Dune Nourishment Project area. Task 1 totals a lump sum amount of $17,495.00. 232
