HOSHIHARA MAY 11, 2015 Illllllllm A T AYLOR ENGINEERING, |IN Delivering Leading-Edge Solutions OKALOOSA COUNTY DEEP WATER FISHING BUOYS PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND PERMITTING ASSISTANCE SCOPE OF SERVICES Overview Okaloosa County has requested Taylor Engineering develop a scope of work and cost proposal for preliminary design and permitting assistance of a fishing buoy system located in the Gulf of Mexico approximately 60 — 100 miles south of the Florida panhandle near the De Soto Canyon. The buoy system would consist of 4 — 10 buoys up to 10 miles apart in water depths between approximately 150 — 1,000 ft. Okaloosa County proposes to deploy the fishing buoys to attract pelagic game fish and expand recreational and sport fishing opportunities for County visitors. Taylor Engineering recently provided Okaloosa County a feasibility study regarding such a system; this scope of work and cost proposal is based on that study. As described below, Taylor Engineering will provide preliminary design and permitting assistance to Okaloosa County for the proposed buoy system. We have made several assumptions in developing this scope of services and associated fees for the project. The assumptions noted below and throughout this scope of services affect the proposed level of effort and associated costs. If any of the assumptions should prove incorrect, we will submit a proposal to modify our scope of services and our fees accordingly. We have developed this scope of services with the following assumptions and background information: e We assume the County will provide guidance regarding the general location of the proposed buoys. We will strive to permit the proposed buoy sites provided by the County; however, regulatory guidance may require site relocations or modifications. e Taylor Engineering expects an open-ended permit review process in terms of cost and time, given the unprecedented nature of the proposed project, species of concern for the project and project location, and the lack of firm federal agency review schedules. We have therefore assumed a not-to-exceed budget for the permit application review process. e The proposed project area is within essential fish habitat and nursery areas for most of the large pelagic game fish species as well as potentially federally listed species. As such, Taylor Engineering assumes a requirement for and has budgeted for the services of a Gulf of Mexico Migratory Fisheries expert for this project. o If
