Exhibit_I_-_Administrative_Charges.pdf

This document is an administrative charges schedule exhibit prepared by Volusia County, Florida for its Beach Maintenance services contract. The schedule outlines penalties for contractor non-compliance with federal, state, and local regulations across multiple operational categories. Charges range from $25.00 per can per day for failing to service garbage and recycling cans according to schedule, to $1,000.00 per incident for violations such as non-compliance with environmental regulations, improper waste disposal, unauthorized driving in conservation zones, and failure to maintain employee training certifications under the Habitat Conservation Plan. Additional penalties include $500.00 per incident for cleanup failures, $500.00 per employee per day for untrained staff, $100.00 per vehicle per day for missing contractor identification on service vehicles, $500.00 per ramp per day for failure to grade or sweep vehicular beach ramps, $50.00 per ring per day for improper beach fire ring placement or removal, $100.00 per incident for failure to submit nightly rut-raking forms, and $100.00 per incident for conducting rut-raking activities prior to 7:00 PM without Habitat Conservation Plan staff approval.

These administrative charges function as performance enforcement mechanisms and are imposed in addition to any legal fines assessed by federal, state, or other local agencies for regulatory violations. The comprehensive penalty structure reflects the contract's emphasis on environmental protection, particularly regarding sea turtle nesting season operations, employee training requirements, and strict adherence to operational schedules across the 47-mile coastal maintenance area spanning 38 vehicle access ramps and 800 trash cans at 350 locations.
