Attachment A - Scope of Services February 2007 Work Order 6 Indian River County Beach Sectors 1 & 2 (Ambersand) Project Redesign, Construction Phase and Immediate Post- Construction Services INTRODUCTION Florida's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have issued project permits, and the County has awarded a construction contract to Great Lakes Dredge and Dock, Inc. (GLDD). A notice to proceed has been issued to GLDD , and construction (performed by Sebaqueous under contract with GLDD) is anticipated to commence in March 2007. This project willo be constructed in two stages because adverse visibility precluded the full collection of biological monitoring data. This winter, the Sebastian Inlet sand trap will be dredged and sand will be placed on the upland beach. It is anticipated that the biological monitoring will be completed in the summer of 2007, and GLDD will complete the full sand placement (a total of 258,000 c.y.) in the winter of 2007/2008. At DEP's request and to obtain the issuance of the project's State permit, the project had to be significantly revised. The work was completed as required to in response to DEP correspondence. The revised design required travel to Tallahassee to meet with DEP staff, ATM staff time , and continual coordination with DEP staff, and the development and reproduction of permit sketches and construction drawings . This Work Order and Scope of Services will also provide the County with the necessary support and coordination to start construction, necessary monitoring (as required by the project permits) , construction phase administration and post-construction services to fulfill permit requirements. At the County's request, sea turtle nesting surveys will be conducted by Ecological Associates, Inc. , and daily construction observations will be conducted by County staff experienced in beach nourishment projects. The following tasks detail the efforts required for the ad-hoc design revisions and efforts throughout the construction phase and immediate post-construction of the Sectors 1 & 2 project: Task 1 Design Revisions By the fall of 2006, DEP issued six requests for additional information (RAI) , and then requested significant revisions to the project design. ATM coordinated with County staff and regulatory agencies and provided revisions to the project. Under this task ATM will address further design changes as required by the regulatory agencies and construction issues. ATM delivered revised permit sketches and project plans that were approved for the issuance of the DEP permit, and will provide further plan revisions as necessary.
