County (County) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC)
providing a new source of additional funding from the Florida Boating Improvement Program (FBIP),
in addition to County Boating Improvement Funds used for channel marker and buoy maintenance.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The County Marine Resources Office maintains eighty (80) regulatory
buoys demarcating a No Motor Zone at the Whale Harbor Sandbar. At the beginning of 2014 all the
buoys at that location were determined to be in need of replacement. Twenty-nine (29) of the buoy
systems, at the most critical locations (immediately adjacent to Whale Harbor Channel), were replaced
in early 2014 utilizing Boating Improvement Funds (BIF) at a cost of $22,495. In the spring of 2014
Marine Resources staff submitted a grant application to the FWC FBIP to replace the remaining fifty-
one (51) buoys at an estimated cost of $51,250, including a 25% match from BIF. The proposed
installation is anticipated to improve boater safety, protect swimmers and waders, and allow law
enforcement personnel to enforce the regulatory zone requirements. FWC has awarded the requested
grant amount of $38,438 and provided Agreement No. 14104 for execution by the County.
Staff has provided Agreement No. 14104 for Board approval.

Attachment A — SCOPE OF fir O,RK
I Project Name: I Buoy Replacement at Whale Harbor Sandbar I FWC Contract No. 14104
A. Background: The Whale Harbor Channel area encompasses a number of navigable channels
utilized by a high volume of recreational vessels transiting between nearshore waters and the
Atlantic Ocean. Interspersed between these channels is a shallow, complex shoal system
consisting of dense. seagrass beds. In the mid-90's, this area saw a sharp increase in boating -
related use, particularly along the sandy flats known locally as "The Sandbar" that is immediately
adjacent to the federally -marked Whale Harbor Channel. As this location became increasing
popular as a day anchorage site for partying, numerous user conflicts occurred and a significant
number of boating accidents and associated fatalities were documented by FWC Law
Enforcement.
To protect swimmers and waders, in 2003 Monroe County created a Combustion Vessel
Exclusion Zone encompassing the flats adjacent to Whale Harbor Channel. The County installed
80 buoys to mark this regulatory zone. In 2010, the zone was changed to a No Motor Zone to
ensure consistency with other federally -established regulatory zones in the Florida Keys. Since
the establishment of this zone, the buoys marking the boundaries of the zone have been
repeatedly subject to misuse and vandalism, gone missing and reached the end of their useful life.
The County has replaced 29 of the 80 buoys.
B. Purpose: The purpose of this, project is to replace 51 buoys marking the regulatory zone adjacent
to the Whale Harbor Channel with buoys that have the recently -adopted language "No Motor
Zone."
C. Project Benefits: This project will improve boater understanding of waterway regulations and
help protect boaters, swimmers, waders, and seagrasses.
A. Term of Agreement: The term of the Agreement includes two phases: Phase 1, Project
Construction, and Phase IT, Project Site Management. During Phase I, the Monroe County Board

reimbursed.
Listed below are examples of types of supporting documentation:
(1) Salaries: A payroll register or similar documentation should be submitted. The payroll register
should show gross salary charges, fringe benefits, other deductions and net pay. If an
individual for whom reimbursement is being claimed is paid by the hour, a document
reflecting the hours worked times the rate of pay will be acceptable.
(2) Fringe Benefits: Fringe Benefits should be supported by invoices showing the amount paid on behalf of
the employee (eg, insurance premiums paid). If the contract specifically states that
fringe benefits will be based on a specified percentage rather than the actual cost of
fringe benefits, then the calculation for the fringe benefits amount must be shown.
Exception: Governmental entities are not required to provide check numbers or copies
of checks for fringe benefits.

property as defined in Section 273.02, Florida Statutes, for subsequent transfer to the
State.
