Herbivory exclusion devices will also be installed. <br />Sea & shoreline was chosen for multiple reasons to head up this contract as a sole source. In 2019-2020 <br />discussions between Indian River County and many seagrass providers in the state was that sea & shoreline <br />was the only entity that could do a project of this scale. Indian River County was pursuing piggybacking on <br />procurement that FWC had done that resulted in contract awards with Sea & Shoreline. In addition, Sea & <br />shoreline had secured match funding from Florida Wildlife Foundation that was specific to the preacher's hole <br />location. <br />The contractual services for Year 1 cover the costs of permitting, the materials and labor needed to grow out <br />seagrass planting units, the fabrication of herbivory exclusion devices, and the installation of seagrass and <br />installation of the exclusion devices. Supplies required for plant grow out include the planting unit materials <br />(peat pots, fill material, plumbing supplies, shade covering, etc.). Equipment needed for installation includes <br />the use of vessels to access the planting sites, fuel & maintenance costs of those vessels, GPS units to <br />capture plant and herbivory exclusion device location, and markers to avoid navigational issues. <br />Plant grow out is estimated at $284,500 for 22.8 acres or 116,850 planting units. <br />Herbivory excluder fabrication is estimated at $152,575 for 570 excluder devices. <br />Installation expenses are estimated at $158,615. <br />OTHER COSTS ($0) <br />None <br />Page 19 <br />
