es a Scope of Work Page 12 of Preferred Alternative, List of Preparers, and Public Involvement. Responsibilities and roles of ATM and the County's Ecological Consultant (EC) are further identified in the following sections. Document preparation, production and transmittal is not included in this scope of work. Task 2.2.1 EA Document Meetings and Coordination The County's EC will prepare the EA section describing the Project Purpose and Need. This section shall also contain details on the project goals and objectives, authority, and location. Issues relevant to the project will be evaluated in detail and an outline of the decisions to be made will be presented. ATM will participate in Team meetings to review project progress and discuss specific milestone components of the report throughout the development of the EA document. This will require the review of related environmental documents, permits, licenses, and entitlements within the project area. A total of (4) team meetings will be conducted in Jacksonville and/or Vero Beach to review this section and a detailed outline of the remaining document prior to preparation of alternatives, affected environment, and environmental consequences sections of the document. Task 2.2.2 Alternatives The alternatives to be developed and further analyzed in EA Chapter 2 for Sectors 1 and 2 — as expected at present — are: • no action (resulting in construction of revetments and seawalls), • beach fill with periodic nourishment (-55 cy/ft), • beach fill design alternatives (^20% and 35%, respectively, reduction in fill volumes and their corresponding hardbottom impact reductions), and • consideration of modifications to current inlet sand bypassing efforts An analysis of fill redistribution will be conducted utilizing predictive modeling techniques. Modeling using REF/DIF and GENESIS will be performed. A meeting will be conducted with the Project Team and the USACE in Jacksonville to review the alternatives identified prior to proceeding with the remaining document sections. ATM shall prepare all of Section 2 — Alternatives (see attached EA Table of Contents) In Section 2.3 of the EA "Comparison of Alternatives," ATM will provide a summary of the alternative tinit fill volumes (i.e., lesser unit placement volume and greater unit placement volume) evaluation criteria. These criteria include: Fill performance, economic analysis of project benefits, project costs (30 -year), and hardbottom coverage impacts. The intent is to explain the exclusion of these alternatives and the basis by which the preferred alternative was selected. CIWINOOWS1TEMRRCSed-12 iAdMwnal S•—01-1"dW1r2M1
