This proposal outlines a scope of work for Aptim Environmental & Infrastructure, LLC (APTIM), to provide
professional services to Indian River County (the County) in support of the Sector 3 Beach and Dune
Renourishment Project. The scope of work described herein is to support the County with the following items:
1. To conduct the 2021 Nearshore Hardbottom Biological Monitoring
2. To conduct the 2021 Post -Construction Sea Turtle Monitoring
The tasks to perform this work are listed below and described on the following pages. A breakdown of the hours
and expenses to develop the cost is attached. The scope and fee were developed following the provisions of the
Professional Services Agreement between Indian River County and APTIM, dated January 9, 2018, to provide
engineering and biological support services'for the Sector 3 (Wabasso Beach) Beach and Dune Renourishment
Project (RFQ#2018006).
1. Task 1: Pre -Construction Nearshore Hardbottom Biological Monitoring
The Sector 3 2021 nearshore hardbottom biological monitoring will be managed and conducted by APTIM, and
conducted by APTIM's approved subconsultant, Coastal Engineering Protection LLC (CPE).
The Biological Monitoring Plan developed for the Sector 3 project during permitting will require pre- and post -
construction biological monitoring adjacent to the project area to monitor for potential secondary impacts to
nearshore natural hardbottom. The scope for this task is based on the FDEP-approved Biological Monitoring Plan
(0285993 -009 -JC). The nearshore hardbottom monitoring shall include:
• Hardbottom edge mapping
• Monitoring permanent transects
Task 1: Scope of Work
1) Hardbottom Edge Mapping:
APTIM shall map the position of the nearshore hardbottom edge forthe entire Sector 3 project area, including
1000 feet north (updrift) and 3000 feet south (downdrift) of the project area (R-19 to R-58) for a length of
approximately 7.3 miles. A buoy with a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) antenna linked to a
APTIM February 5, 2021

topside laptop computer running HYPACK navigational software will be towed by divers to record the position
of the nearshore hardbottom edge. The divers will follow the inshore contour of the most prominent
hardbottom-sand interface. The purpose of the survey is to provide a baseline for comparison with post -
construction hardbottom edge delineations.
2) Installing and Monitoring Permanent Transects:
Thirty (38) permanent transects will be established along the length of project influence, which includes 1000
feet north (updrift) and 3000 feet south (downdrift). This includes twenty-four (24) biological monitoring
transects and fourteen (14) sediment -only transects. All transects will run perpendicular to the shoreline and
extend from the landward hardbottom edge to a distance of 50 meters seaward. Stainless steel rods will be
used to permanently mark the transects to facilitate repeatability for post -construction monitoring.
Following transect establishment, a biological survey will be conducted to document the pre -construction
condition of the hardbottom using the following methods:
1) Quadrat Assessments: Up to nine (9) 0.5-m2 quadrats sampled along each transect to quantify the
benthic community.
2) Sediment Measurements: Collected using line -intercept and 1-m interval sediment depth
measurements.
3) Video/Photo Documentation: Collected for the length of each transect.
It is anticipated that up to 20 days of field operations is required to delineate the hardbottom edge, install
permanent transects and monitor the transects. The collected pre -construction data will be compiled and
incorporated into an interactive GIS database and the quadrat data will be entered into an Access database.
Data entry, reduction, archiving, and analysis time is included in the cost estimate to address the data
management and reporting requirements for the field operations.
Task 1: Deliverable
Raw data will be provided to FDEP and the County including a PDF of the scanned datasheets, excel spreadsheets
with quadrat data, interval sediment depth measurements and line -intercept data, shapefiles of the hardbottom
edge survey, video/photo documentation. Additionally, APTIM will provide a map of the project area and adjacent
hardbottom resources with the hardbottom edge delineation and monitoring transects overlaid onto the most
recent aerial photography (in digital format). A report is not proposed for the pre -construction monitoring survey.
APTIM will also provide information or assistance to County staff, as needed or requested.
Task 1: Schedule
The pre -construction monitoring event will take place during the summer (May —September) prior to project
construction. Raw data from field operations will be submitted to the County and FDEP within 45 days of
completion of the survey.
Task 1: Cost
The lump sum cost for this task is $183,539.43.

2. Task 2: Immediate Post -Construction Sea Turtle and Shorebird Monitoring
The Sector 3 immediate post -construction sea turtle and shorebird monitoring will be managed and coordinated
by APTIM, and conducted by APTIM's approved subconsultant, Ecological Associates, Inc. (EAI).
Task 2: Scope of Work
APTIM will oversee the scope of work proposed by EAI and provide the necessary administrative coordination to
the County. The 2021 sea turtle monitoring effort along the approximate 3.7 mile shoreline within the Sector 3
Project Area addresses permit -required post -construction sea turtle and shorebird monitoring. The monitoring
will comply with all applicable conditions set forth in the regulatory permits and related authorizations for the
project. EAI has provided the enclosed proposal and cost breakdown for sea turtle monitoring tasks, which are
summarized as follows:
1. Mobilization
2. Project Management
3. Daily Sea Turtle Monitoring and Data Management
4. Nest Marking and Monitoring
5. Nesting Shorebird Monitoring
6. Post -Construction Compaction Monitoring and Escarpment Surveys
7. Lighting Surveys
8. Reporting
Task 2: Deliverable
EAI will submit a nesting season summary report within 90 days of completion of all monitoring activities.
Additionally, an Excel spreadsheet summarizing all nesting activity and reproductive success will be prepared and
submitted electronically to JCP Compliance and FWC.
Task 2: Schedule
The sea turtle monitoring will commence in February 2021.
Task 2: Cost
The lump sum cost for this task is $135,279.08.
Summary
The total lump sum cost to perform the proposed work described herein for Sector 3 — 2018006 — Work Order #9
is $318,818.51. The following page includes a summary of the costs and labor hours of each Task. Thank you for
the opportunity to serve Indian River County. As always, please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions.
