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.
