RESTORE FPL3b Florida Water Quality Improvement Program Proposal DEP Agreement No. WQ156

Task Assignment No. 1 Change Order No. 1

Revised Scope of Services

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has selected SWCA, Incorporated (Consultant) to assist in the preparation of a full Proposal for RESTORE funding, development of responses to Best Available Science (BAS) reviews, and revisions to the Proposals based upon reviews, as needed.

Background

The RESTORE Act, signed into law in July 2012, established a Gulf Coast Restoration Trust Fund (Trust Fund) which will receive 80 percent of the civil and administrative Clean Water Act penalties resulting from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Thirty percent of the money directed to the Trust Fund is managed by the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council (RESTORE Council) to implement ecosystem restoration under a Comprehensive Plan, developed by the Council. This 30% is referred to as the Council-Selected Restoration Component (or "Bucket 2"). The Council approves Bucket 2 projects and programs for funding in a Funded Priorities List (FPL).

The Council is starting to develop FPL3b, which will fund projects and programs using funds that will be available in the Trust Fund in early 2021, when the Council plans to vote to approve the FPL3b. This process begins with the Council seeking detailed funding proposals from its Members. The full proposal submission window is anticipated to open March 9 and close April 24, 2020.

In anticipation of FPL3b the Council requested the development of Pre-proposals by its Members. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection prepared four Pre-proposals as a part of this effort. All of Florida’s pre-proposals were for programs as opposed to specific projects.

Additional Services

The Consultant may be requested to provide other professional services related to the Project Scope of Services, as deemed necessary by DEP, based on the availability of funding. Based on DEP’s ability to negotiate a satisfactory price, DEP reserves the right to amend this Task Assignment to include additional services.

Description

The Consultant will prepare the Florida Water Quality Improvement Program full Proposal for potential FPL 3b funding under the Council-Selected Restoration Component of the RESTORE Act. The Proposal will be based on the Florida Water Quality Improvement Program pre-proposal and written in accordance with the Council-Selected Restoration Component Funded Priorities List 3 Proposal Submission Guidelines and Review Process May 15, 2019 (FPL3 Proposal Submission Guidelines). Please note the submission guidelines include section character limits that must be followed.

The Consultant will be responsible for all items in Section 2: Guidelines for FPL3 Proposal Content of the FPL3 Proposal Submission Guidelines. Of note, the contractor will be responsible for:

• clearly articulating how the proposal meets the RESTORE Act’s, Comprehensive Plan, and Council BAS requirements;

• further development of project selection criteria as described in the pre-proposal and Attachment A (DEP responses to Council staff questions related to project selection under a program), and;

• clearly articulating how the proposal meets the “Program” requirements of the RESTORE Act, the Council’s Comprehensive Plan, and Council guidance.

Following the submission of the Proposal, the Proposal will be independently reviewed by at least three external expert science reviewers. The Consultant may be tasked with developing responses addressing the expert science reviewers’ comments and questions related to the Proposal. In addition, a RESTORE Council Internal BAS Review Panel will review all BAS reviewer comments and Council Member responses. Based on these reviews, the Consultant may be tasked with revising the Proposal to address these reviews.

This work includes support for preparing drafts and the final Florida Water Quality Improvement Program Proposal, this includes all necessary calls and meetings. In is anticipated there will be a weekly call between the Consultant and DEP to review the status and work products until the full proposal is submitted.
