Mehta, P.E. <br />Managing Director <br />Solid Waste Disposal District <br />Indian River County <br />1325 74th Avenue SW <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32968 <br />Subject: Proposal for Site Redevelopment -Related Activities <br />Former South Gifford Road Landfill <br />Vero Beach, Indian River County, Florida <br />Dear Mr. Mehta: <br />Geosyntec Consultants (Geosyntec) is pleased to submit this proposal to the Indian River County (IRC) <br />Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) to provide professional services associated with the ongoing <br />redevelopment evaluation of the Former South Gifford Road Landfill located in Vero Beach, Indian <br />River County, Florida (Site). The scope is intended to expand and build on the preliminary activities <br />completed through the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) under the United States <br />Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Brownfields Coalition Assessment Grant. Geosyntec has <br />prepared this proposal (professional services as Exhibit 1) as Amendment No. 1 to existing Work Order <br />No. 10 for the Continuing Contract Agreement for Professional Services between IRC SWDD and <br />Geosyntec. The remainder of this letter provides an overview of the project background, a description <br />of the proposed scope of work, a budget estimate, and a discussion of the schedule for accomplishment <br />of the work described herein. <br />PROJECT BACKGROUND <br />Geosyntec conducted brownfields site assessment activities for the Site in March through June 2014. <br />TCRPC funded these activities with a USEPA Brownfields Coalition Assessment Grant for evaluation <br />of eligible properties within areas that may ultimately be designated for brownfields redevelopment. <br />The overall former landfill property is a 115 -acre former trench -and -fill landfill. The northern portion <br />(approximately 55 acres) of the property is owned by Indian River County (IRC) and the southern <br />portion (approximately 60 acres) is owned by the City of Vero Beach. The 30 acres adjacent to 41st <br />Street within the IRC -owned portion of the Site were identified by TCRPC for potential brownfields <br />redevelopment to provide enhancement to the surrounding Vero Beach community, and therefore; the <br />preliminary assessment activities were focused on this area. IRC funded additional assessment <br />activities based on the initial results to further the evaluation of the Site for future redevelopment/reuse <br />purposes. The additional assessment activities were authorized by IRC under Work Order No. 10 dated <br />19 August 2014. The results of these activities were presented to the IRC Board of County <br />Commissioners (BCC) on 3 March 2015. At that time, IRC BCC authorized IRC SWDD to meet with <br />XR 15143\XR15022 <br />engineers 1 .`iE ik'iltititti 1 innovators <br />
