AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a second amendment to a Contract for Professional
Services between Bender Consulting Services, Inc., and Monroe County, related to review and
public presentation of new Flood Zone Mapping, amending the total not to exceed amount from
$24,999.99 to $49,999.99.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
Taylor Engineering, on behalf of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been
working on the Southeast Florida Coastal Study of the Florida Keys. Risk Mapping will produce
updated flood hazard data to increasing resiliency, and then, new updated Flood Insurance Rate
Maps will be produced. The Commission has heard a presentation by Michael Delcharco on this
study over the past few years. The maps determine revised base flood elevations (BFEs) and flood
inundation boundaries for 1% annual-chance (base) flood total water levels.
The initial tentative timeline provided by Taylor Engineering, on behalf of FEMA, initially indicated
that the County could expect draft mapping in 2017. That has been changed to an expected delivery
date later in 2019.
Once we receive these maps, there will be a time period where the County is able to comment on the
maps. There will also be a need for assistance with public outreach to the community. Primarily,
explaining to citizens what these new maps mean to them from a development perspective, as well
as from a flood insurance impact perspective.
Following the preliminary maps, there will be Post Preliminary Processing of public comment, and
the maps are not expected to be effective until 2020.
Bruce Bender is a leading consultant in this field.
An example of a change that could happen with the new maps:
Packet Pg. 1529
J.9
Properties in Monroe County that were flood zone A8 (for example) could change to flood zone
A10, and those sites would then no longer be compliant with the minimum elevation causing an
increase in insurance rates. Bender Consulting Services, Inc., will supplement any outreach efforts
and coastal remapping with an insurance component that educates stakeholders and assists the public
in understanding the map changes and corresponding insurance options.
As you know, Congress passed the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012, only to
change it after the sweeping financial consequences became known to the lawmakers who passed the
bill. Later, the Homeowners Flood Insurance Affordability Act was passed, which lessened the
impact to flood insurance policy holders, but put in place a progressive increasing insurance amount
per year until the property rates are actuarially sound.
Mr. Bender will also be able to assist the County in analyzing the impacts of legislative changes on
flood insurance policy holders, based on this reform. Finally, Mr. Bender will assist with outreach to
the community on these subjects as needed.
