1 • ATTACHMENT A SCOPE OF SERVICES INDIAN RIVER COUNTYREEF DEVELOPMENT PROJECT OFMAS-122 The Department has awarded funds under this Agreement to complete the following saltwater artificial fishing reef project activities, as proposed in the County's competitive application for funding: 1. Loading and transportation of no less than 1,000 tons of clean concrete railroad tics or other clean concrete material acceptable to the Department. Payment for procurement or transport of scrap steel including stainless steel tanks will not be reimbursed as part of this project. 2. Load the concrete materials onto a suitable conveyance and transport to a site for loading onto a barge or other suitable vessel for offshore movement. Load the structures onto a vessel for transportation to the designated reef sites. Provide a sufficiently powered transport or towing vessel, personnel, and all necessary equipment to transport the material offshore and deploy it. Reef material loaded on to the transporting vessel must be properly secured to allow for its safe transport during both inshore and offshore transits. 3.Deployment of reef material. During the deployment of the concrete reef material, at each site, the transport vessel must be effectively moored through double anchoring or held securely in place with minimal movement (+/-50 feet) to ensure accurate and concentrated placement of concrete material on the bottom. Due to the lack of complexity and relatively small size of individual concrete rail road ties, the material must be stacked or piled to provide habitat complexity yet also insuring a minimum of 50 feet of vertical clearance at each deployment site. Any machinery used to move and deploy the reef materials should be sufficiently powered/maneuverablc and capably operated to ensure timely, effective and safe off-loading of materials. The tug or transport vessel shall be equipped with a working, accurate Differential GPS unit and other marine electronics including a working VHF radio. Effective and reliable communications shall exist at all times between the tug, barge, and the designated County observer on site. Deployment operations will only be initiated when sea height in the operations area is no greater than two to four feet as forecast by the nearest NOAA weather office. The final decision to proceed offshore will be with the County's subcontractor. However, the County and/or any onsite DEP personnel reserve the right to suspend off-loading operations if positioning and other deployment objectives are not being met. 4. Engineering services associated with the reef project. Up to $2,500 of the available project funding may be utilized for the following: a. Observation vessel rental, if a vessel is needed to serve as the County Project Manager's observation and buoy deployment platform (up to $600 per each nine hour day). The designated observation vessel must also be equipped with a Differential GPS unit, operating fathometer, and a VHF radio. b. Equipment purchase (buoys, lines, anchors, for temporary marking of reef sites in advance to assist the subcontractor; film and film development (up to $300). c. Post deployment dive assessment of reefs to map/provide videography of material, orientation and relief, and evaluation of any material breakage or damage (up to $700 for diving survey, videography; $1,000 for side scan sonar mapping, if available).
