Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />Kylie Yanchula, Natural Resources Director <br />THROUGH: Eric Charest, Assistant Director, Natural Resources Department <br />SUBJECT: Amendment No. 1 to Tetra Tech Inc. Work Order No. 1 for Public <br />Outreach Efforts on the Lagoon Management Plan to Include Story Map <br />Development <br />DATE: September 10, 2024 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />On April 18, 2023, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the Continuing Contract <br />Agreement for Consulting Engineering Services with Tetra Tech, Inc. (Tetra Tech) for professional <br />water resource engineering support services for a term of three (3) years. Work Order (WO) No. <br />1 under this Agreement was executed on June 20, 2023, to provide public outreach assistance <br />associated with the County's Indian River Lagoon Management Plan (Plan) development. <br />WO No. 1 with Tetra Tech identified several tasks for the outreach efforts, including <br />Commissioner meetings, specific interest group meetings, public workshops, and the facilitation <br />of public comments into the Plan. Throughout the outreach efforts, Tetra Tech was able to <br />coordinate activities under the specific tasks efficiently, and the approved funds for the WO were <br />not depleted. As the Plan has since been vetted by the community and adopted by the County, <br />the remaining funds on the WO are being requested to be reassigned under a WO Amendment <br />(Amendment No. 1) to provide additional outreach efforts associated with the implementation <br />phase of the Plan. <br />Amendment No. 1 is proposed to redirect the remaining funds available on WO No. 1 for use in <br />covering costs associated with Tetra Tech creating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Story <br />Maps related to the County's Lagoon Projects. This will provide interactive maps containing <br />technical, financial, geographical, and pictorial information that will be hosted on the County's <br />website and available for public viewing, promoting the County's on-going efforts towards <br />improving the health of the Indian River Lagoon. <br />County staff is seeking BCC approval of Amendment No. 1 to WO No. 1, providing a no -additional <br />cost reallocation of funds remaining available under WO No. 1 to a new Task 4 for the <br />Development, Preparation and implementation of Story Maps. <br />FUNDING <br />WO No. 1 has a contract balance remaining of $39,846.21, which would be used under <br />99 <br />
