�.E o <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />BOARD MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />THROUGH: John A. Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />THROUGH: Eric Charest, Interim Natural Resources Director <br />SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 Morgan and Eklund Workorder No. 4 for Post <br />Significant Erosional Event Rapid Land and Hydrographic Beach Profile <br />Surveys <br />DATE: April 11, 2024 <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 />As the coastline of Indian River County is subject to erosional impacts from high energy wind and <br />wave events, accurate measurements of said impacts are essential in order for the County to <br />seek potential funding sources to help defray the costs of potential dune/beach repair efforts. In <br />accordance with the terms of the Professional Land Surveying and Mapping Services with M&E, <br />the BCC approved Work Order (WO) No. 4 on June 6, 2023 for two (2) post -significant erosional <br />event beach profile surveys (onshore/offshore) to quantify the dune/beach erosion impacts <br />within the County's Beach Management Sectors 3 through 8 should a qualifying storm event take <br />place. <br />Due to a relatively quiet storm season experienced here in Indian River County during 2023, no <br />work was performed under M&E WO No. 4. <br />In order to remain prepared to collect beach profiles in a rapid fashion should a qualifying storm <br />event impact the County, County staff have requested M&E amend WO No. 4 to reflect a no -cost <br />extension to the terms of WO No. 4 allowing for those services to be performed during the <br />current year (calendar year 2024) should the need arise. <br />Amendment No. 1 to WO No. 4 would allow for M&E to provide up to two (2) post -significant <br />erosional event beach profile surveys (onshore/offshore) that would be used to quantify <br />dune/beach erosion impacts to our County. The results of the surveys, if performed, would also <br />be offered to the Florida Department of Environmental Projection and Federal agencies as <br />documentation of losses if beach recovery funding becomes available. <br />County staff is seeking BCC approval for Amendment No. 1 to M&E WO No. 4 which reflects a no <br />cost time extension for up to two (2) post -erosional beach profile surveys to be collected <br />
