John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park Marina Repairs

John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park

102601 Overseas Highway, Key Largo, Monroe County, Florida 33037

Contract: CN330

Subtask 1 – Field Investigation Description:

Subtask 1A - Limited Boundary and Topographic Survey: Cummins Cederberg’s subconsultant will conduct a limited boundary survey for the entire 585 linear feet of bulkhead from the north boat ramp to the northeast corner of the marina, boat house, and docking areas to serve as the basis for subsequent design and regulatory permitting for the entire area. The locations and elevation of the existing shoreline, boat house, and docking facility elements will be surveyed along with other general features of the site pertinent to the Project. The survey is not intended as a full boundary survey but only specifically for the proposed bulkhead, boat house and docking. In addition, water depths fronting the shoreline will be collected to potentially overlap with the bathymetric survey and support engineering design. The survey data collected in the field will be reduced to the horizontal coordinate system and vertical datum established for the Project.

The limited boundary and topographic survey previously conducted under the John

Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park Dock Replacement and Boat Ramp Repairs Project by

Cummins Cederberg under Contract No. CN330, Task No. 03 will be utilized for the Project area that includes the north boat ramp.

Subtask 1B – Geotechnical Borings: Cummins Cederberg’s subconsultant will conduct three (3) Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) to a depth of around 40 feet below the ground surface adjacent to and landward of the existing 585 linear feet bulkhead within the area from the north boat ramp to the northeast corner of the marina. Sunshine One Call will be contacted for advice regarding the location of underground utilities. This will take approximately 10 business days to be cleared by Sunshine One Call. In addition, any available information regarding the location of underground utilities must be provided. Cummins Cederberg and its subconsultants cannot be held responsible for damage to below ground structures or utilities which are not identified to us. We specifically request any available information about the location of underground utilities for this Project. Based on the collected field data, an engineering analysis will be conducted and a report prepared with evaluations and discussions of the geotechnical aspects of the proposed Project. The report will include:

• Drawings showing boring locations, a graphic summary of the generalized subsurface conditions, and boring logs with detailed descriptions of the materials encountered;

• A discussion of generalized subsurface conditions at the site;

• Soil parameters such as saturated unit weights, passive/active coefficients, internal friction angles, wall friction angles; and

February 18, 2022 Page 4 of 11

• Driving criteria for concrete and timber piles, including vertical and lateral load resistance.

Subtask 1C – Bathymetric Survey: Cummins Cederberg will conduct bathymetric field surveying within the marina basin to provide data for the location, analysis, and design of the proposed waterfront structures. Approximate water depth information will be collected in the marina basin to support engineering design. The bathymetric data will be utilized to determine existing conditions of the basin. The data will be adjusted to Project datum and plotted on a basemap with one-foot interval contours; the mean high water elevation will be derived from a nearby tidal station. This scope of services includes equipment rental and expenses.

Subtask 3 – Environmental Permitting Description:

Subtask 3A – State Permitting: Cummins Cederberg will prepare and process a Statewide

Environmental Resource Permit (SWERP) Application with the South Florida Water

Management District (SFWMD), requesting an Exemption Verification for the proposed

Project, pursuant to Chapter 62-330, F.A.C. Cummins Cederberg will maintain contact with

FDEP to review plans and provide additional information. The Client will provide the permit application processing fee (estimated at $100.00). The Project may be located on state-owned sovereign submerged lands, so proprietary authorization may also be required.

Subtask 3B – Federal Permitting: Cummins Cederberg will prepare and process a

Department of the Army Application through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) requesting authorization for the proposed Project, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and

Harbors Act and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Cummins Cederberg will maintain contact with the USACE to review plans and provide additional information (e.g., JaxBO or

Section 7 Checklists). The Client will provide Cummins Cederberg with a signed application form. If the Project does not meet the JaxBO Project Design Criteria (PDC’s) as outlined in

Activities A1 and A2, then the Project will need to go through informal consultation with the

National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) which typically takes 8 months to 1 year to complete in addition to the USACE review period.
