This document is a Consultant's Task Assignment Notification and proposal from Regate, Sliger Engineering, Inc. (RSE) to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), specifically for the Bureau of Design & Construction, Division of Recreation & Parks. The project is located at Lake Kissimmee State Park and involves a bridge replacement task under FDEP Contract No. DC754, with Task Assignment No. 8 for Project No. 60841.

The scope of services includes three primary tasks: (1) Design and Plans - developing design plans, details, and specifications for replacing an existing 103-foot timber bridge with a new three-span concrete bridge designed to accommodate HS 20 load and pedestrian traffic, (2) Design Survey and Soil Investigation - conducting a professional land survey and geotechnical investigation with three 50-foot deep borings, and (3) Permitting - preparing and submitting environmental resource permits with the South Florida Water Management District and Polk County Building Department. The total task amount is $58,492.51, which was negotiated down from an initial fee of over $70,000. The project is deemed critical for maintaining access to Cow Camps, prescribed fire zones, equestrian camps, and a future cabin area, following an unexpected D.O.T. inspection that revealed a failing vehicular bridge structure.
