Addendum # 13 <br /> 3/22/2007 <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br /> 2. Functional Assessment of Wetlands <br /> Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI) will assess the proposed wetland impact areas and the <br /> mitigation areas within the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) owned lands <br /> using the Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM), which is utilized by both the <br /> U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers (CE) and the St. Johns River Water Management District <br /> (SJRWMD). <br /> Note: ESI assumes that no additional mitigation will be necessary for SJRWMD as proposed <br /> impacts for Phase IV are approximately less than or equal to the previously proposed impacts <br /> for Phase IV. ESI will be shown the locations of all mitigation previously conducted on DEP <br /> lands used for proposed impacts for Phase III. If proposed impacts to wetlands for Phase IV <br /> are not offset by mitigation previously conducted, additional mitigation may be required that <br /> is not part of this proposal. <br /> 3 . Gopher Tortoise Permitting and Relocation (Optional) <br /> In the event transects to be completed under Item # 1 above reveal the presence of tortoise <br /> occupation within the Phase IV limits, ISE will conduct the following tasks : <br /> a. ESI will prepare and submit a gopher tortoise relocation permit application to the <br /> FFWCC for off-site relocation of tortoises if any gopher tortoises are identified within the <br /> roadway expansion corridor or stormwater management ponds A, B and C. ESI will <br /> coordinate with FFWCC staff to facilitate timely permit issuance. <br /> Note: ESI assumes that gopher tortoise(s) will be relocated to another County-owned <br /> property and blood testing to determine the presence or absence of Upper Respiratory <br /> Tract Disease Pathogen will not be necessary. <br /> b. Upon Receipt of the FFWCC relocation permit, ESI will recapture the tortoise (s), either <br /> by hand ( if outside the burrow) or backhoe excavation, and will remove and transport <br /> tortoise (s) to the designated off-site recipient area. <br /> If excavation is by backhoe, the backhoe and operator will be provide by the applicant. <br /> We propose to perform the Scope of Services outlined under Task B for the following lump sum <br /> fees: <br /> 1 . Threatened and Endangered Species Survey: $ 1 ,320.00 <br /> 2. Functional Assessment of Wetlands (if Necessary): $ 19980.00 <br /> 3 . Gopher Tortoise Permitting and Relocation (ifNecessarv): $ 1 ,650.00 <br /> Total (Task B): $4,950,00 <br />
