APPROVED AS TO FARM: CHRISTINE LIMBERT- BARROWS ASSISTANT COUNTY AVORNEY DATE: 16 EXHIBIT A Scope of Services For Mobile Vessel Pumpout Service Pumpout USA will provide mobile vessel pumpout service to vessels located throughout areas of Monroe County within the Florida Keys. The pumpout service is provided to reduce or eliminate environmental impacts associated with the illegal discharge of sewage from vessels, and further enable compliance with regulations of the federal No Discharge Zone and the Proof of Pumpout Ordinance in Monroe County authorized under F.S. 327.60(4). The following sections describe the Scope of Work and Deliverables for the provision of mobile vessel pumpout service. Section A: Scope of Work 1. Mobile Vessel Pumpout Service Pumpout USA will provide mobile vessel pumpout service (Service) consisting of a minimum of four active marine pumpout vessels, and three backup pumpout vessels, to service (i.e. pumpout) recreational vessels located in the waters of Monroe County within the Florida Keys. The Service will be provided 8 hours per day, 5 business days per week. Each pumpout vessel placed into service will be capable of servicing 25 -50 vessels per day and each will be trailerable to locate to other service areas, as needed. The pumpout service will be provided at no charge to all anchored recreational vessels in the waters of Monroe County within the Florida Keys (up to once per week). Pumpout USA may also provide service to vessels at marinas (with priority given to marinas without pumpout facilities), but only after all anchored -out vessels are serviced. The first priority of each pumpout vessel will be servicing anchored vessels. Vessel owners will be encouraged by the County and Pumpout USA to register for routine pumpout service (see Registration of Customers below), which will assist in streamlining the service through the utilization of `identification decals' indicating participation in the pumpout program and orange flags to be flown when in need of a pumpout (decals and flags to be provided by Pumpout USA). Vessel waste will be offloaded and properly disposed of utilizing fixed pumpout stations located throughout the Keys, and when necessary hauled out by licensed haulers. In addition, the Contractor shall adhere to, and provide for, items described in the "Tasks / Deliverables" included in the associated DEP /CVA Agreement (attached). 2. Staffing Pumpout USA, at its own expense, will provide all personnel required to perform this contract and all personnel engaged in performing services under this contract shall be fully qualified, and, if required, to be authorized or permitted under State and local law to perform such services. Pumpout USA personnel shall not be employees of or have any contractual relationship with the County. The Contractor will provide Pumpout Vessel Captains and a Maintenance Captain, as well as a Project Manager that has extensive experience and training in the pumpout industry. The Project Manager will maintain an office and his/her primary duties will include: • Coordinating pump -out schedules; • Registering customers for service; • Obtaining registrants' contact information and location for pump -out service; • Contact point for FWC concerning "Proof of Pumpout" of vessels located in Managed Anchoring Zones. The Pumpout Vessel Captains and Maintenance Captain are employees of the Contractor and duties are: • Operate pumpout vessel on a weekly schedule within their designated service areas; Maintain a supply of identification decals and orange pumpout flags; Maintain a written daily log identifying date, miles traveled, pumpouts performed, gallons pumped from each vessel, and fuel purchased with receipt for reporting and reimbursement purposes. 3. Registration of Customers Registration forms for participation in the program will be made available online through the Pumpout USA website. Additionally, registration forms will be made available at the Monroe County Marine Resources Office, various marinas, and directly from pumpout vessel operators in the service areas. Registration to participate in the program is free for recreational vessels. The participant submits his/her registration information, which will be entered into the service schedule. Upon the first visit by the pumpout vessel the pumpout vessel operator will affix the identification decal to the bow of the vessel (adjacent to the state vessel registration decal location), and attach the orange service banner to the bow rail. A service schedule for each pumpout vessel placed in service will be made available on the Pumpout USA website. The registration forms provided on the website will request the mooring location of the vessel (lat/long), registration number and state, size and type of the vessel, the name of the vessel, and a point of contact for the vessel. The registration form must be signed by the vessel owner and/or captain and allows the Pumpout USA Pumpout Vessel Captain permission to pumpout the participating vessel and board the vessel, if necessary. 4. Public Education Pumpout USA will develop a website, public education materials, instructional materials, marketing materials, and registration packets in support of the mobile vessel pumpout service program. All educational materials will focus on the importance of clean water and the impacts of sewage discharge into the environment. These materials will be made available online through the Pumpout USA website and distributed to participating marinas, local sporting goods merchants, Monroe County Offices, and FWC where they can be accessed by vessel owners and be distributed by FWC and Pumpout Vessel Captains. The Project Manager (or his/her designee) will also participate in, and promote clean water through this pumpout service at public gatherings, marina meetings, Fishing Clubs, Civic Organization Meetings, Secondary Education Science Classes, etc. 5. Coordination with County staff and FWC Pumpout USA will identify to the FWC any anchored vessels that are not participating in the program or requesting pumpouts. Section B: Deliverables 1. Monthly Pumpout Logs Signed monthly pumpout logs will be submitted, specific to each pumpout vessel and broken down by service area, indicating the number of pumpouts performed, volume of sewage pumped out, and number of individual vessels pumped out. 2. Quarterly Reports Pumpout USA will submit signed, notarized quarterly reports showing: • Number of pumpouts performed in each service area (including number of out of state vessels) and total for the Keys; • Gallons of sewage pumped from each service area and total for the Keys; • Total number of individual vessels pumped out; • Number of in -state and out -of -state vessels pumped out; • The routes and locations of the pumpout vessels; • Gallons of fuel used in support of program; • Education and outreach activities. 3. Invoicing Pumpout USA will submit a signed invoice on Pumpout USA letterhead for each quarter's payment, as stipulated in the contract. The invoice cost (as described in the contract) will be based on a per unit rate. In addition to the above described reporting and invoicing requirements, the Contractor will provide all receipts, invoices and other applicable documents as described in the body of the Agreement, and as required by the DEP funding agreements associated with, and referenced in the Agreement (and attached).
