6. Standby unit rates used in accordance with paragraph 1.3, D, 2, above. If the U.S. Army

Corp of Engineers is utilized then their standby rates prevail. If Bluebook or local equipment pricing is accepted, then 1/2 of equipment costs minus any operating costs, major repair and overhaul will be accepted.

7. If equipment is in standby mode due solely to a documented NPS delay, established standby rate shall apply from the first day of the delay.

8. Equipment not used and on job site for up to five consecutive days may be classified at standby rates, provided the equipment is or has been used solely to perform work on the modification and will be necessary to complete additional modification work.

Equipment still on the jobsite but not in use after five consecutive days will not be considered in the modification pricing.

9. Requests for compensation for equipment stand by time must be justified, documented and itemized separately.

10. The estimated timeframe (daily, weekly, monthly) for use of the equipment must reflect the lowest cost to the Government.

Negotiated rates shall not exceed the following percentages for OH&P for contractor self-performed work:

Overhead………………10%

Profit………………10.0%

2. Total aggregate limit of markup (OH&P) for Contractor and Subcontractors on modification work shall not exceed 25%. The NPS will not be responsible for allocation of percentages between contractor and subcontractors at any tier.

3. If Contractors form a partnership, partnership may only receive home office overhead and profit in same amount as an individual Contractor (refer to paragraph 1.3,E,1 above). It is the responsibility of the partners to decide on division of revenue.

4. Combined Increases and Decreases: On proposals involving both increases and decreases in the Contract Price, overhead and profit mark-ups are required on net increases and deducted on net decreases.

GUIS 304892B 01 26 01 - 6

Dear R. W. Jenkins , On March 27, 2023, we received your request for verification that a State 404 Program permit will not be required for the activity described below.

Based on a review of the information submitted and site inspection conducted by staff, the Department has verified that the activity, as proposed does not involve discharge of dredged or fill material into the waters of the United States and therefore, does not require a permit or other form of authorization under the State 404 Program, as described in Chapter 62-331, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.).

This verification reflects current regulations and is only valid for a period of no longer than five years from the date of this letter unless new information warrants a revision of this verification before the expiration date.

Please retain this letter. The activities described above may be inspected by authorized state personnel in the future to ensure compliance with appropriate statutes and administrative codes.

If the activities are not in compliance, you may be subject to enforcement action and possible penalties.

This letter does not relieve you from the responsibility of obtaining other federal, state (including ERP), or local authorizations that maybe required for this activity.

Dear Sir or Madam:

Reference is made to the application received on February 24, 2023, for a Department of the Army permit to replace an existing boardwalk. The proposed project site is located at the Perdido Key Discovery Trail at Johnson Beach, Gulf Islands National Seashore, at 13300 Johnson Beach Road, Pensacola, Escambia County, Florida. The application has been assigned the file number SAJ-2021-03698(NPR-EPS).

Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899

The project as proposed will not require a Department of the Army permit in accordance with Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 as it is not located within a navigable water of the United States.

Section 404 of the Clean Water Act

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) has determined that the proposed project will not require a Department of the Army permit in accordance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The proposed work may occur in waters of the United States that were retained under Corps regulatory authority in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement Between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and the Department of the Army dated August 5, 2020. However, the Corps determined that the proposed work does not involve the discharge of dredged or fill material. Provided the work is done in accordance with the enclosed drawings, Department of the Army authorization will not be required.

This determination of “No Permit Required” does not address nor include any consideration for geographic jurisdiction and shall not be interpreted as such.
