AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to enter into Task Order 48 with Wood Environment &
Infrastructure to develop the final phase of the Canal Management Master Plan in the amount of
$100,456.00 which is 100% funded by EPA Grant X7- OOD83418 -0; under the general project
management services on -call contract for Category A services.
ITEM BACKGROUND: EPA recently issued their FYI South Florida Special Initiatives Request
for Proposals (RFP). County staff, with Wood's assistance, prepared a grant application for the final
phase of the Canal Implementation Plan, in the amount of $104,000 of grant funds, with $0 local
match, and submitted the grant application on June 13, 2018. Award of the grant was received on
September 27, 2018 and Grant Agreement Number X7- OOD83418 -0 was received. The Work under
this Wood Task Order 48 will be funded by the EPA grant to finalize the canal management
masterplan.
The Water Quality Protection Program (WQPP) Action Plan of the Florida Keys National Marine
Sanctuary (FKNMS) identifies impaired water quality in residential canals as a priority for corrective
action (FDEP, 2013). Phase I and II of the Canal Management Master Plan (CMMP) included the
assessment of the 502 residential canals in the Keys using biological indicators and the FDEP dissolved
oxygen (DO) standard. Of the 502 residential canals in the Keys, 311 canals were ranked Fair or Poor
since they did not meet the State's water quality standards, and are a source of nutrients and other
pollutants to near shore waters. Phase IIIA of the CMMP included the refinement of the DO data for all
311 Fair or Poor ranked canals using the modified FDEP DO standard. Of the 311 Fair or Poor ranked
canals in the Keys, 38 did not meet the current FDEP water quality standard for dissolved oxygen based
on grab samples collected in February 2017.
The updated dissolved oxygen, along with results from the completed canal restoration
demonstration projects, have yet to be fully incorporated into the Canal Management Master Plan
CMMP database; including as the basis for an update to water quality rankings for restoration
projects. Additionally, the County and municipalities are lacking an implementation plan to
evaluate the cost along with the DO improvements to determine strategies to reduce costs as
part of a countywide implementation of canal restoration technologies
Two tasks were proposed to update the CMMP to develop a guidance document and are included in the
EPA grant agreement and this Task Order 48:
1. Update water quality summaries (Good, Fair and Poor), lessons learned from the implementation
of the canal restoration demonstration projects, and FlU water quality and benthic monitoring
results in the CMMP, and;
2. The creation of a technical advisory group to evaluate strategies to reduce costs as part of a
countywide implementation of canal restoration technologies, such as economies of scale,
effect of grouping similar technologies into a single project, grouping restorations on a
geographical basis, pre - qualifying vendors, and how policy and assessment criteria might
impact program cost to achieve the highest water quality improvement.

Article 1.1 Terms Of Agreement:
Article 2.2 Scope of Services:
The Consultant shall perform the following Tasks in accordance with the
Scope of work below and in accordance with EPA Grant NO. OOD83418
attached as Exhibit B:
Task 1: Update CMMP database
This task will set the frame work for the following tasks, in refining the CMMP
database to include updating water quality summaries from CMMP Phase III -A
along with the additional data obtained from the completion of the canal restoration
demonstration projects and FIU water quality and benthic monitoring.
Background: During the Phase II CMMP, various ranking factors where applied
to the canals such as ease of permitting and implementation to select a list of
demonstration projects. Phase 111 -A CMMP, DO readings were collected using the
modified FDEP DO standard along with the collection sediment cores to refine the
thickness of organic muck within the canals. With the completion of the canal
restoration demonstration projects and FIU monitoring along with the
aforementioned water quality data, the CMMP database will be updated to provide
the County and municipalities a range of information for selecting projects based on
applicable technology and funding availability.
Methods: The CMMP database will be updated with the expanded DO and
bathymetric data along with relevant cost and monitoring information from the
completed demonstration projects. The database will then be analyzed to determine
the applicable either traditional restoration technology or an alternative technology
vetted during the EPA Grant for Water Quality Improvement.
Date Due: March 30, 2019
Deliverable: An executive summary and database in excel format will be
submitted to Monroe County and municipalities detailing the results of the water
quality summaries along with the cost and water quality effectiveness of the
Canal Restoration Demonstration projects and monitoring results.
2
Task 2: Update to the CMMP to develop a Guidance Plan
Aspects of the demonstration projects that directly affect restoration costs
include design, permitting, and construction constraints. Using lessons learned
during the Demonstration Projects implementation, engineers will identify cost
constraints that impacted the price of the demonstration projects and
implementation strategies that can limit the number of canal restorations required to
achieve the regulatory water quality objectives. This task will include the creation of
a technical advisory group to provide the County and the municipalities a tool to
select and track projects from the planning, design, construction and the OM &M
phases.
Background: Monroe County and the municipalities are financially challenged to
undertake further canal restoration efforts due to a lack of resources and long -term
operation and maintenance funding strategy. Therefore the County and
municipalities will look to better allocate those resources through smart planning
which puts an emphasis on economies of size, potential for greatest impact on the
near shore waters, and low operations and maintenance cost.
Methods A group of technical advisors will examine the CMMP and determine
the necessary action items to develop the guidance document. The results from the
group will be summarized and brought before the FKNMS WQPP Canal Restoration
Advisory Subcommittee for discussion prior to moving forward with the update.
Following the inclusion of any suggested updates from the Subcommittee, the
guidance document will be prepared and presented to the FKNMS WQPP Steering
Committee for discussion and approval. Upon approval from the Steering
committee the guidance document will be finalized to be utilized by the County and
municipalities for the implementation of canal restoration projects.
Date due: October 30, 2019
Deliverable: The guidance document will be submitted to Monroe County and
municipalities that details the strategies for selecting projects based on the
strategies identified in the technical advisory group and subsequent committee
meetings. The document will be provided to the County and municipalities to be
used to prioritize and select projects based on applicable technology and funding
limitations.

Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) identifies impaired water quality in residential canals as a priority for
corrective action (FDEP, 2013). Using these priorities, the Canal Restoration Advisory
Subcommittee (Subcommittee) was created to provide scientific and objective oversight of the Canal
Restoration Program including the development of the Canal Management Master Plan (CMMP).
Phase I of the CMMP developed a set of project goals and objectives that were initially approved by
the Subcommittee. The objectives that were identified and adopted by the Subcommittee are as
follows: (l) Water Quality - Eutrophication and DO- Related Issues; (2) Water Quality — Organic
Material (e.g., Weed Wrack); (3) Sediment Quality; (4) Habitat Quality and (5) Public involvement
in the canal management process. Phase 11 of the CMMP included the assessment of the 502
residential canals in the Keys using biological indicators and the FDEP dissolved oxygen (DO)
standard as identified in the 2012 edition of 62- 302.530, FAC, for Class III Marine Waters. The
standard stated that DO shall never be measured at less than 4.0 mg/L at any point or at any time.
The DO conditions in conjunction with biological indicators were used to summarize the water
quality of each canal as follows:
DO Conditions
Biological Conditions
Water Quality Summary
> 4.0 mg(L
Positive
Good
> 4.0 mg/L
Negative
Fair
3.0 - 4.0 mg/L
Positive
Fair
3.0 - 4.0 mg/L
Negative
Poor
3.0 mg/L I NIA I Poor
Of the 502 residential canals in the Keys, 3 11 canals were ranked Fair or Poor since they did not
meet the State's water quality standards, and are a source of nutrients and other pollutants to near
shore waters.
Phase QIA of the CMMP included the collection of sediment cores from a subset of canals that
have documented organic detritus bottom sediment loading greater than 0.75 feet in thickness to
evaluate the potential for reusing canal sediments in their planning and cost evaluation along
with refined DO data for all 311 Fair or Poor ranked canals using the modified FDEP DO
standard from the 4 mg/L at any location at any time) threshold to percent saturation as follows:
1. The daily average DO percent saturation shall not be below 42 percent ;
2. The weekly average DO percent saturation shall not be below 51 percent; and
3. The monthly average DO percent saturation shall not be below 56 percent.
Of the 311 Fair or Poor ranked canals in the Keys, 38 did not meet the current FDEP water quality
standard for dissolved oxygen based on grab samples collected in February 2017. Additionally, diel
monitoring completed at ten selected canals in May 2017 indicates that the dissolved oxygen
measurements collected by grab sample may be insufficient to characterize the predominant
dissolved oxygen saturation in a water body. For example, of the ten canals selected for diel
monitoring, only one canal exhibited a DO saturation below 42 percent during the grab sampling
activities. Additionally, canal 82 exhibited a DO saturation of 80 percent in the grab sample, but
exhibited a daily average DO saturation of 36 percent based on the diel measurements.
The updated dissolved oxygen and bathymetry data, along with results from the completed
canal restoration demonstration projects, have yet to be fully incorporated into the CMMP
N
database; including as the basis for an update to water quality rankings for restoration projects.
Additionally, the County and municipalities are lacking an implementation plan to evaluate the
cost along with the DO improvements to determine strategies to reduce costs as part of a
countywide implementation of canal restoration technologies.
Lb Objective(s) - The Monroe County CMMP identified canals impaired due to low dissolved
oxygen, high organic matter, poor flushing, and poor water clarity. The objective of the proposed
scope of work is to update the CMMP to develop a guidance document to be used to select and track
projects from the planning, design, construction, and operation, maintenance and monitoring
(OM &M) phases. The plan will include the following items: 1) update water quality summaries
(Good, Fair and Poor), lessons learned from the implementation of the canal restoration
demonstration projects, and RU water quality and benthic monitoring results in the CMMP, and; 2)
the guidance document will evaluate strategies to reduce costs as part of a countywide
implementation of canal restoration technologies, such as economies of scale, effect of grouping
similar technologies into a single project, grouping restorations on a geographical basis, pre-
qualifying vendors, and how policy and assessment criteria might impact program cost to
achieve the highest water quality improvement.
.c Applications, Benefits, and Importance - A key goal of the CMMP is to identify and
implement pilot projects that demonstrate innovated approaches to restoring water quality in the
canal systems in the Florida Keys. The two tasks identified here would update the CMMP to develop
a guidance document for the County and Municipalities to investigate cost effective ways to improve
existing restoration practices, provide additional water quality improvement alternatives to those
already identified or implemented via the CMMP, and develop funding strategies to help assure they
can be implemented in the long -term. These tasks would improve and maintain the overall water
9
quality of the canals, near shore and coastal waters of the FKNMS. ter
2.0 Methods and Approach
2A Description of M ajor T asks - In order to achieve the objectives defined above, Monroe
County proposes to conduct the following tasks.
Task • Update QMMP database
This task will set the frame work for the following tasks, in refining the CMMP database to
include updating water quality summaries from CMMP Phase III -A along with the additional data
obtained from the completion of the canal restoration demonstration projects and FIU water quality
and benthic monitoring.
Background. During the Phase II CMMP, various ranking factors where applied to the canals
such as ease of permitting and implementation to select a list of demonstration projects. Phase III -A
CMMP, DO readings were collected using the modified FDEP DO standard along with the
collection sediment cores to refine the thickness of organic muck within the canals. With the
completion of the canal restoration demonstration projects and FN monitoring along with the
aforementioned water quality data, the CMMP database will be updated to provide the County and
municipalities a range of information for selecting projects based on applicable technology and
funding availability.
Methods: The CMMP database will be updated with the expanded DO and bathymetric data
along with relevant cost and monitoring information from the completed demonstration projects
The database will then be analyzed to determine the applicable either traditional restoration
14]
technology or an alternative technology vetted during the EPA Grant for Water Quality
Improvement.
Task 2: Update to the CMMP to develop a Guidance Plan
Aspects of the demonstration projects that directly affect restoration costs include design,
permitting, and construction constraints. Using lessons learned during the Demonstration Projects
implementation, engineers will identify cost constraints that impacted the price of the demonstration
projects and implementation strategies that can limit the number of canal restorations required to
achieve the regulatory water quality objectives. This task will include the creation of a technical
advisory group to provide the County and the municipalities a tool to select and track projects from
the planning, design, construction and the OM &M phases.
Background_ Monroe County and the municipalities are financially challenged to undertake
further canal restoration efforts due to a lack of resources and long -term operation and maintenance
funding strategy. Therefore the County and municipalities will look to better allocate those resources
through smart planning which puts an emphasis on economies of size, potential for greatest impact
on the near shore waters, and low operations and maintenance cost.
Methods A group of technical advisors will examine the CMMP and determine the necessary
action items to develop the guidance document. The results from the group will be summarized and
brought before the FKNMS WQPP Canal Restoration Advisory Subcommittee for discussion prior
to moving forward with the update.. Following the inclusion of any suggested updates from the
Subcommittee, the guidance document will be prepared and presented to the FKNMS WQPP
Steering Committee for discussion and approval. Upon approval from the Steering committee the
guidance document will be finalized to be utilized by the County and municipalities for the
implementation of canal restoration projects:.
