Page 8 of 8, Exhibit "B" Contract File:\County.doc 08/28/02 EXHIBIT "C" STATEMENT OF WORK Big Coppitt Stormwater and Xeriscape Improvement Project as a part of the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail 1. INTRODUCTION Monroe County, Florida (County) completed its Storm Water Management Master Plan in the early summer of 2001 (Master Plan). The County Master Plan was created in coordination with the South Florida Water Management District (District), the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), the Florida Department of Transportation, and other agencies. These agencies provided valuable information to the County engineering consultant and attended Village community workshops during the master plan creation. Many of the recommendations in the Master Plan include making limited improvements to stormwater management components along the Overseas Highway (U.S. Highway 1) and along County road rights-of-way. Implicit in the recommendations of the Master Plan is recognition that a number of significant opportunities exist to make these improvements in partnership with the on-going efforts of the Overseas Heritage Trail, a bicycle and pedestrian path which will ultimately connect all of the islands of the Florida Keys. 2. PROJECT LOCATION The project area is located on Big Coppitt Key in the lower keys of Monroe County, along a portion of the U.S.1 right-of-way on the north side of the highway. The total length of the highway on Big Coppitt Key is approximately 2 miles. The project area includes approximately one mile of this length. An existing bicycle and pedestrian path is located in the area, but needs improvements. See Figures 1 through 3, attached hereto and made a part of this Exhibit "C", Statement of Work. 3. SCOPE OF WORK The County shall complete design work and permIttmg work to make three (3) types of improvements to an existing bicycle and pedestrian path on Big Coppitt. The three (3) physical improvements for this project are as follows: First, the Overseas Highway is immediately adjacent to the path in question. Significant bicycle/pedestrian conflicts exist as vehicles turn from the highway across the path and enter adjacent private properties. Improvements would be designed such that these conflicts are minimized. Second, the bicycle and pedestrian path is poorly drained. Stormwater improvements will be designed and permitted which will improve the situation. This is an area where rains frequently flood the location. Page 1 of 4, Exhibit "c" to Agreement No. C-13177 Third, vegetation has been planted along the path, but has been poorly maintained. This is largely because vehicles frequently cross the path along virtually its entire length and, over time have destroyed it. Stormwater improvements and improvements designed to change traffic flow across the path will serve to protect xeriscape vegetation placed along the path as part of the project. 4. WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE Design Services: The County shall complete surveys, design and construction drawings, and write construction specifications for this bike path and stormwater improvement project. The County improvements shall follow the criterion established in the Master Plan, which includes the ability to control flooding and improve water quality with structural and non-structural improvements. The County shall complete the following project tasks: Task 1: Prepare project design. Submit construction plans to District permitting office. Task 2: Obtain all necessary permits. 5. COUNTY PROJECT CONTRIBUTIONS Funds are anticipated from the District and other grant sources to perform construction activities to make physical improvements to the project area. The County will secure funding in the amount of $20,000.00 from other grant sources in the form of funds and in-kind services. 6. CONSTRUCTION PHASE It is the parties intention to identify funding for the construction phase during the first quarter of the 2003 Fiscal Year based on 50/50 cost sharing. If authorized, detailed tasking and deliverables for the construction phase together with applicable funding will be delineated in a duly executed amendment to this Agreement by the parties subject to District Governing Board and County Commission approval. No work is authorized for construction until such time as an amendment is executed by the parties.
