EXHIBIT 1 SCOPE OF WORK INDIAN RIVER COUNTY SOUTH COUNTY WATER TREATMENT PLANT DESIGN, PERMITTING, BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES FOR CONSTRUCTION OF PROPOSED WELL NO . 7 BACKGROUND Indian River County Department of Utility Services (County) owns and operates the South County Water Treatment Plant (WTP) which currently operates with six existing Upper Floridan Aquifer (UFA) production wells . The existing Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) for the South County WTP also includes a future permitted seventh well that has not yet been constructed due to previous concerns over the potential impacts of the well on neighboring citrus operations to the south in St. Lucie County; however, both the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) and the South Florida Water Management District have recently encouraged the County to pursue construction of Well No. 7 as citrus operations have dwindled south of the County line . The following is the scope of services to be provided under this authorization. SCOPE OF SERVICES CDM will perform the following task services . TASK 1 . 0 PRE-APPLICATION MEETING WITH SJRWMD CDM will prepare for and participate in a pre-application CUP meeting with SJRWMD to discuss the potential locations for Well No . 7. It is assumed that this meeting will be held at the Palm Bay Operations Center for SJRWMD and will involve two CDM employees in addition to County staff. TASK 2 . 0 SITING OF WELL CDM will rely on the existing groundwater models, proposed location in the existing CUP and discussions with SJRWMD to determine the ultimate location of Well No. 7. The existing model (s) assumed a particular location for the new well, and in an effort to minimize the need for additional modeling, CDM will assume that the modeled location is acceptable to the County and proceed accordingly. CDM will prepare proposed location figures for Well No . 7 for the basis of discussion at the pre-application meeting described in Task 1 .0. It is anticipated that the County will coordinate with the Parks and Recreation Department to confirm that the ultimate location for Well No . 7 will be compatible with future development plans of the South County Park. CDM' s involvement in negotiating with the Parks and Recreation Department will be on an as needed basis only. The assumptions made in this task, should CDM' s assistance be needed , are that CDM will conduct one coordination meeting and schedule one site visit with the Parks and Recreation Department prior to finalizing the well location, in the event that this has not yet been conducted during the modeling process by other consultants. Upon finalization of the well locations, CDM will contract with a surveyor to survey the well location and the proposed piping corridors for use in preparing the contract A4 j12355.doc
