?c <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />BOARD MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />THROUGH: Richard B. Szpyrka, P.E., Public Works Director <br />THROUGH: Eric Charest, Natural Resources Manager <br />SUBJECT: Post Hurricane Ian Beach Profile Surveys <br />DATE: October 4, 2022 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />On October 4, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved a contract with Morgan <br />and Eklund, Inc. (M&E) for Professional Land Surveying and Mapping Services for a two-year <br />term. M&E is the selected County Consultant for professional onshore/offshore hydrographic <br />surveying services. <br />Hurricane Ian passed to the west of Indian River County on September 28, 2022 before exiting <br />the state through Brevard County to our north. Although the County was spared a direct hit from <br />Hurricane Ian, the storm had significant impacts in the form of beach and dune erosion on much <br />of the County's beaches. After exiting the state, Hurricane Ian continued to stir up high surf as it <br />made its' way up the Atlantic coastline towards South Carolina. The increased wave activity and <br />high surf created by Hurricane Ian in the Atlantic Ocean caused varying amounts of erosion to <br />occur throughout the County's beaches, including areas where significant dune retreat was <br />observed. <br />The proposed Work Order No. 1 from M&E provides post Hurricane Ian beach profile surveys <br />(Onshore/Offshore) that are necessary to quantify the dune/beach erosion impacts to our <br />County. The results of the survey will also be offered to the Florida Department of Environmental <br />Projection and Federal agencies as documentation of losses if beach recovery funding becomes <br />available. <br />Work Order No. 1 totals $60,000.00. <br />FUNDING <br />Funding for this expenditure will be from the Other Professional Services — Hurricane Ian <br />#DR4673, Account # 12814472-033190-22601. <br />Account Name <br />Account No. <br />Amount <br />Beach Restoration Fund/Other Professional Services/ <br />Hurricane Ian #DR -4673 <br />12814472-033190-22601 <br />$60,000.00 <br />m <br />
