Third Party Review of UMAM <br />We understand that Continental Shelf Associates (CSA) will be performing a Uniform Mitigation Assessment <br />Method (UMAM) evaluation for the Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project. The UMAM rule (Chapter <br />62-345, F.A.C.) went into effect on February 2, 2004 and is used by the FDEP to determine the amount of <br />mitigation needed to offset adverse impacts to wetlands and other surface waters and to determine mitigation bank <br />credits awarded and debited. A CB&I biologist will evaluate the UMAM analysis to ensure it was prepared in <br />accordance with FDEP guidelines and instructions contained in rule 62-345, F.A.C. CB&I will prepare a <br />summary of their findings from this review to be submitted to the County. CB&I will participate in a conference <br />call with the County and CSA to discuss any issues identified during our review. <br />Required Data <br />Electronic data (preferably GIS database) may be required to quantify changes in hardbottom area. <br />Schedule <br />Initial comments for the third party peer review of the UMAM analysis will be submitted within 2 weeks of <br />receipt of the analysis and report. <br />Cost <br />The cost of the third party peer review of the UMAM is $2,105. A breakdown of the hours and expenses to <br />develop these costs is attached and follow the provisions of the Professional Coastal Engineering Services <br />Agreement (dated March 19, 2013) and Contract Renewal (dated March 17, 2015), between Indian River County <br />and CB&I. <br />Summary <br />The total lump sum cost of this task order is $52,967.00. <br />We appreciate the opportunity to work with Indian River County on this effort. <br />Please call me if yo ave any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Gordon G.
