Ecological Associates, Inc. — Revised Cost Proposal and Scope of Work 3 <br />success, as applicable. Monthly reports will be submitted to the County on the last day <br />of the month following delivery of services (e.g., March report due no later than April <br />30). <br />Task 3: Nest Marking and Monitoring <br />A representative sample of nests will be marked for determination of nest fate and <br />reproductive success (not to exceed 290 nests total in the entire Survey Area). Nests <br />will be marked using a series of stakes and surveyor's tape. These nests will be <br />monitored throughout their incubation period to determine nest fate (e.g., hatched, <br />washed out, depredated, vandalized, etc.). After an appropriate incubation period, and <br />in accordance with the FWC Handbook, nests will be excavated to determine <br />reproductive success. Two measures of reproductive success will be calculated: <br />hatching success (the percentage of eggs in the nest that hatch) and emerging success <br />(the percentage of eggs in the nest that produce hatchlings which successfully escape <br />from the nest). <br />Task 4: Nest Protection <br />EAI will barricade and protect sea turtle nests deposited in areas of concern designated <br />by the County. Nests will be conspicuously marked for avoidance with a series of stakes <br />and surveyor's tape and be monitored throughout the season. These nests will not be <br />excavated for reproductive success purposes. Nest protection will be billed at $25.00 <br />per nest (EAI estimates 110 total nests requiring protection). <br />Task 5: Reporting <br />EAI will prepare the marine turtle permit -required Index Nesting Beach Survey <br />(INBS), Statewide Nesting Beach Survey (SNBS), and Nest Productivity Assessment <br />(NPA) reports for this project and submit to the County and FWC, as mutually agreed <br />upon. <br />EAI will submit its monthly billings for the services described above to Indian River <br />County in accordance with the fees and schedules set forth in Attachments A and B. No <br />deposit or advance mobilization fees are required. <br />Ecological Associates, Inc. appreciates the opportunity to be of continued service to Indian <br />River County. Should you have any questions regarding the enclosed Scope of Work or <br />associated costs, I can be reached at (772) 334-3729. <br />Sincerely, <br />/ <br />AO -a <br />Grace Botson <br />
