(ATM) proposes the herein described Scope of Work to assist Indian River County (COUNTY) with professional coastal engineering services for the COUNTY Sectors 1 & 2 Beach Nourishment Project (Ambersand Project). The Ambersand Project is located along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline south of Sebastian Inlet, at Sebastian Inlet State Park and unincorporated Ambersand Beach, and extends between Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) reference monuments R-3.5 and R-17. The Professional Services Agreement between the COUNTY and ATM (dated 27 April 1999) established the Pre-Engineering Design services for the entire (Countywide) beach preservation plan. Amendment Number 1 of Contract, dated 22 February 2000, established design and permitting aspects associated with the Sectors 1, 2 and 3 projects. Amendment Number 2 of the Contract, dated 13 February 2001, established preparation of an Environmental Assessment Document and specific permit processing for Sectors 1 & 2, and development of design alternatives analysis for Sector 7. Amendment Number 3, dated 8 January 2002, included provisions for design modifications, permitting and NEPA document preparation for the Sector 7 project. Amendment Number 4, dated 17 September 2002, specifically addressed changes in the duration and compensation aspects of the Professional Services Agreement. The herein described scope shall serve as Contract Amendment Number 5. The borrow area for the Ambersand Project is located on the Indian River Shoal between 7,000 and 10,000 ft. offshore of the southern part of Indian River County, just north and directly offshore from Round Island Park (R-118), in Indian River County, the Atlantic Ocean, Class III Waters. The proposed Ambersand beach restoration project involves transporting sand from an offshore borrow site by hopper dredge and placing the material along 2.5 miles of beach. The beach fill template consists of a design berm, which is intended to remain intact between nourishment events, and advance beach nourishment placed seaward of the design berm, which will erode away between nourishment events. The total construction volume is approximately 508,000 cubic yards over the 13,296 feet of beach, with the final quantities to be based upon a Pre-Construction Survey to be performed by Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company (GLDD), herein referred as CONTRACTOR.
