including, but not limited to the following: Determine appropriate and desirable recreation activities and amenities Identify areas for conservation, site restoration and habitat creation Establish the goals for visual character and spatial definition Determine support facilities and utility requirements Determine hours of operation Identify site security needs Define theme and architectural character Cost Task 4: $20,780.00 TASK 5 — Conceptual Design Based on the results of Tasks 1 - 3 and in consideration of programmatic elements established in the program formulation above, Genesis in consultation with Taylor Engineering will prepare a conceptual design overlay for the project area. The proposed plan will illustrate both the Okaloosa Baywalk and Veteran’s Park natural park improvements. The plan will incorporate proposed site features including hardscape components such as boardwalks, site lighting, docks and bridges; structures such as gazebos and pavilions; and environmental components such as nature trails and education features. Per the County’s request, the plan will not propose restroom facilities. The conceptual design will also identify areas for conservation, site restoration, and habitat creation / enhancement. The plan view layouts will endeavor to incorporate the County’s project goals and consider protected/environmentally-sensitive areas, protection from coastal conditions, and connectivity to proposed future upland and offshore development features. To support plan formulation, photographic images of similar project amenities will be presented to illustrate the potential character of the proposed park design. The conceptual design plan will include color enhanced graphics suitable for public presentation. Genesis and Taylor Engineering will present the plan and supporting graphics (o the project team mentioned in the previous section to overview the proposed concepts and receive comments and recommendations from these groups. Following receipt of County staff and public comments, Genesis and Taylor Engineering will revise the conceptual design to incorporate all feasible design requests, further develop the preferred concept, and prepare the preliminary design. We have budgeted sufficient time to allow one refinement of the preferred project concept. The refinement may include minor modifications to the water access and upland structures, and minor adjustments to improve interaction with the upland project components. We will present the preliminary design to the Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners for review prior to performing the preliminary engineering design and permitting tasks below. Cost Task 5: $12,990.00 TASK 6 — Preliminary Engineering Design and Permit Drawings Taylor Engineering will perform preliminary engineering design and develop permit drawings for the structural components of the conceptual plan (Task 5). As previously mentioned, we anticipate the plan’s hardscape components to include pile-supported boardwalks, gazebos and a bridge, and at-grade nature trails. Taylor Engineering will also perform preliminary environmental design for the proposed enbancement/restoration areas. Based on regulatory guidance, we will design the structures and A4 restoration areas to avoid and minimize environmental impact as much as practicable and optimize the probability of success for the restoration and enhancement areas. Taylor Engineering will provide permit drawings depicting: * Location map and general plan-view overlays of the entire project area « Preliminary structural design sections for the pile-supported structures * Environmental restoration/enhancement area plan-view layouts, design sections, planting/ stabilization details, and acreages + Existing environmental resources (identified during previous investigations) and proposed environmental protection measures (turbidity and erosion control measures, etc.) Taylor Engineering will complete permit drawings for the project in a two-step process. To provide the opportunity for County review and comment, we will submit permit drawings at preliminary and final design stages. The preliminary permit drawing submittal will provide two sets of 8.5 in. x 11 in. paper plots and corresponding digital format drawing files in AutoCAD 2013 and pdf formats. Taylor Engineering will provide the preliminary permit drawing submittal for County and project team review and comment. Following receipt of comments, we will incorporate any necessary changes to produce final permit drawings. The final permit drawings submittal will include three sets of signed and sealed 8.5 in. x 11 in. paper plots and corresponding digital format drawing files in AutoCAD and PDF formats. Taylor Engineering will submit additional copies, as necessary, of the permit drawings with the permit application (Task 7). Cost Task 6; $17,600.00 TASK 7 — Permit Application Revision Given the County’s desire to incorporate the Phase II work with the on-going Phase I (waterside) portion, the combined project will require an Environmental Resources Permit (ERP) issued by the FDEP or Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD) and a U.S. Department of the Army Dredge and Fill Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The FDEP will determine whether FDEP or the NWFWMD will ultimately provide final permit review. Given the water-dependent features and lack of stormwater management components, we assume FDEP will provide permit review and processing. In either case: e After completion of strategy discussions with the County, Taylor Engineering’s project manager and key project staff will meet with lead state and federal regulatory agencies in a joint pre- application meeting to present the project concept and receive permit application content recommendations from the agencies. These meetings will focus on permit application details and identify any potential hurdles in completing a successful permit application. We encourage the participation of the County in these meetings. ¢ We will provide the County a short summary of the meetings and immediately notify County if the meetings indicate any challenges that may significantly impact project success. Assuming positive meeting outcomes, we will move forward with the remaining project tasks, including permit application development. Taylor Engineering will develop a joint ERP application that includes the information necessary for state and federal agencies to perform their technical and regulatory review and public processes. In addition to the permit drawings developed in Task 6, the application will include detailed narratives describing the project design, purpose, and need; project best management practices (BMPs); avoidance and A-5 minimization measures; natural resource impact and mitigation analysis using the state of Florida’s Uniform Mitigation Assessment Methodology (UMAM); construction methodology and schedule; site maintenance and adaptive management, and post-construction monitoring. With County review and approval, we will deliver an application package to the lead state regulatory agency. The lead agency will distribute application packages to all other appropriate agencies, Cost Task 7: $7,760.00 TASK 8 — Opinion of Probable Construction Cost Using the permit drawings as a base, Taylor Engineering will prepare a preliminary opinion of probable construction cost for the Phase II (landside) project components described in this scope of work. This opinion of cost will comprise a list of major items with associated quantities and unit costs. We will apply internal and external data to develop a cost opinion for each major project element. This opinion of probable construction cost will provide the County with an initial budget estimate to construct the upland portion of the project. Cost Task 8: $2,530.00 SCHEDULE Because Taylor Engineering has no control over agency review processes and periods, the schedule for project permitting is uncertain. Upon receiving authorization, Taylor Engineering will immediately commence Task 1 ~ 3. Following completion of Task 1 — 3 and within 6 weeks of authorization, we will commence Tasks 4 and 5. Tasks 4 and 5 shall be completed within 8 weeks of commencement, subject to coordination and availability of the project team and County to conduct the required workshop and public meeting. Following completion of Tasks 4 and 5, we will commence Tasks 6 and 7 concurrently. We expect to complete Tasks 6 and 7 and submit the permit application package to the County for review within 8 weeks. Following County review and approval of the permit application package, we will submit the application to the regulatory agencies for review. Please note the USACE does not have set timelines for permit application review; however, Taylor Engineering will closely coordinate with USACE and other commenting agencies and respond to agency requests to expedite the regulatory review process. We anticipate the permit application processing and negotiations will take approximately 6 to 12 months to complete. Task 8 will be completed within 2 weeks of receiving a notice of intent to issue the regulatory authorizations.
