(Tetra Tech) is pleased to provide Indian River County (IRC) with an amendment to the proposal for services to carry forward the development of a comprehensive Indian River Lagoon (IRL) Management Plan and assist IRC by providing outreach services. The amendment will include the preparation of Story maps and assisting the county with publishing the story maps to the county website. BACKGROUND IRC is located along the IRL, which is one of the nation's most ecologically diverse estuaries and an important ecosystem in the state of Florida. The local governments and state agencies have been working together to restore this system, which is impaired by excessive nutrient inputs that are causing algal blooms and low dissolved oxygen conditions. IRC has been collecting data on its portion of the IRL and providing regular updates to the County Commission on research areas since 2019. Based on the information provided, the Commission asked IRC staff to begin preparing a Lagoon Management Plan. Tetra Tech has been working with IRC to develop the Lagoon Management Plan since 2018. In 2019, IRC hired an IRL Plan Environmental Specialist, and this position has taken the lead on preparing the plan with support from Tetra Tech. As part of plan development, IRC would like to include opportunities for public workshops and meetings with specific interest groups to gather input and feedback on the Lagoon Management Plan. Tetra Tech completed the outreach outlined in this Task Order, and on September 26, 2023, The IRC Board of County Commissioners approved the IRL Lagoon Management Plan. There is a residual budget of approximately $39,000 on this Task Order.

One meeting will be held with each commissioner. Tetra Tech will prepare an agenda, facilitate each meeting, take notes, and log comments from each commissioner. These meetings will be held in- person at the IRC office in a single day to minimize travel time and costs. Tetra Tech will assist IRC staff to ensure that the commissioners' comments are included in the draft Lagoon Management Plan. Task 2: Facilitation and Support for Two Public Workshops Tetra Tech will work collaboratively with IRC staff during plan development to prepare for two public workshops. At least one of these workshops will be held in the evening hours. Tetra Tech will assist in preparing a presentation summarizing the draft Lagoon Management Plan. The workshops will seek input for data gaps, projects, and topics for the draft plan. Tetra Tech will prepare an agenda, facilitate each meeting, take notes, and log comments. In addition, Tetra Tech can assist with providing online tools to allow for virtual participation in the workshops if IRC desires. The public comment and review period for the draft Lagoon Management Plan will be open for 30 days during which time Tetra Tech will work with IRC staff to gather additional comments. All comments received will be tracked in an Excel document that notes the commenter, location in draft plan, and comment. Tetra Tech will work with IRC to provide a response to each comment, which will include noting how the plan was revised, if applicable. Task 3: Meetings with Specific Interest Groups Tetra Tech will also support IRC staff in 6 to 8 meetings with specific interest groups in the County. These meetings will be held with individual groups to discuss the draft Lagoon Management Plan and obtain input. IRC staff will identify the key interest groups to meet with, such environmental organizations and homeowner's associations, and provide contacts for each group. Tetra Tech will work with IRC staff to set up these meetings, facilitate each meeting, take notes, and log comments received. Tetra Tech will participate in half of these meetings in-person and half of the meetings virtually. ADDITIONAL SCOPE OF WORK - AMENDMENT Task 4: Development, Preparation, and implementation of Story Maps Tetra Tech will assist with the creation of story maps.
