Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />DE TMENT HEAD CONCURRENCE: <br />obert M. I eating, AICP <br />Community Development Director <br />FROM: Roland M. DeBlo' , CP <br />Chief, Environmental Planning <br />DATE: April 25, 2000 <br />RE: Change Order to Contract: Smith Environmental Services, Inc. <br />Development of the Sebastian Area -Wide Scrub -Jay Habitat Conservation Plan <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County <br />Commissioners at its regular meeting of May 2, 2000. <br />On July 7, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners approved a contract with Smith Environmental <br />Services, Inc. (SES) to develop the Sebastian Area -Wide Scrub -Jay Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). On <br />November 16, 1999, the HCP was approved by the Board, and subsequently the HCP was endorsed, with <br />minor revisions, by the City of Sebastian and the Indian River County School Board. On March 24, 2000, <br />the HCP was formally submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) as part of an Incidental Take <br />Permit application to release —317 platted scrub lots in the Sebastian Highlands for development Issuance <br />of that permit by the FWS is expected to occur in late June or early July 2000. <br />SES fulfilled its obligations to develop the HCP within the terms and costs of the approved contract, with <br />the exception of reimbursable costs that exceeded the contract amount by $330.40 (see attached invoice <br />summary table). The overage was necessary to pay for Conservation Plan copying costs due to unanticipated <br />revisions to the plan requested by the City of Sebastian and the Indian River County School Board. Planning <br />staff thinks the excess spent on reimbursable costs was justified. <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Board Chairman to execute the <br />attached "Change Order No. 1" to the Smith Environmental Services contract, to increase the contract <br />amount by $330.40, with finding to come from environmental land acquisition bond referendum monies <br />(Account No. 125-146-539-033.19). <br />ATI'ACHMMNTC <br />1.
