Additionally, we will meet with the Captiva Erosion Control District to coordinate construction of regional projects to realize cost savings. Erosion Control Line Establishment We expect FDEP will require establishment of an erosion control line (ECL) in the proposed project additions within the Barefoot Beach and Clam Pass Park areas. To begin, we will coordinate with the County to schedule a mean high water line survey, as project construction typically should occur within two years after establishing the ECL. We will schedule Morgan & Eklund to conduct the mean high water survey during the appropriate timeframe. Morgan & Eklund will conduct preliminary discussions with the FDEP Bureau of Survey and Mapping to verify the appropriate mean high water (MHW) elevation(s) for use in the survey. We will coordinate with the County to obtain appropriate property ownership information. Upon completion of the mean high water line survey, Morgan & Eklund will submit draft mean high water survey drawings to the Bureau and obtain review comments. After addressing the Bureau’s comments, Morgan & Eklund will provide us a revised drawing set. We will review the drawings and coordinate with the County to prepare a final draft for submittal to the Bureau. We will address any FDEP questions promptly to resolve outstanding issues and to obtain final state approval. Upon receiving FDEP approval, we will prepare presentations for two public forums — a public workshop and a public hearing — required to establish the surveyed mean high water line as the ECL. FDEP requires three public advertisements appearing once each week for three weeks before the scheduled events. We will coordinate with the County and FDEP to schedule and attend the workshop and hearing. Following the public hearing, we will work with the County and FDEP to incorporate any final changes to the proposed ECL. Pre-construction Surveys FDEP Permit number 0222355-001-JC requires completion of biological monitoring during the summer months before construction. Monitoring includes side-scan sonar and diver verification of the nearshore hardbottom edge, biological reef and hardbottom characterization and mapping, environmental aerials, and preparation of a biological monitoring report. We will coordinate with CSA, Sonographics, and ACA to conduct the monitoring surveys during summer 2013, the summer before construction. FDEP Permit number 0222355-001-JC also requires completion of physical monitoring before construction. Monitoring includes beach profile surveys of the project and control areas within 90 days of construction commencement. We will coordinate with our subcontractor, Morgan & Eklund, to conduct the survey during the required timeframe or request FDEP to accept the design survey, if appropriate, in lieu of a new survey. Contract Document Preparation and Bid Administration Assistance Following FDEP and USACE acceptance of the proposed project modifications and structure improvements/modifications, Taylor Engineering will prepare technical specifications and construction drawings consistent with the FDEP and USACE permits. After final approval from Collier County, Taylor Engineering will develop a final specifications package, incorporating all comments received from Collier County and signed and sealed drawings and specifications. We will provide the final construction-ready specifications and plan set in reproducible hardcopy and digital format for use in producing copies for bidding purposes. Additionally, we will provide the drawings in AutoCAD 2007 digital format on CD-ROM for distribution to the selected contractor.
