WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, The Florida Keys were hit by Category 4 Hurricane Irma on September 10, 2017, with the center of the hurricane passing over the Lower Keys. High winds, wave action and storm surge caused significant impacts to the marine environment including the deposition of a variety of marine debris throughout the Florida Keys. In the months and years following the storm, local, state and federal agencies have focused marine cleanup and recovery efforts specifically on canal debris, sunken and derelict vessels and scattered destroyed/entangled lobster traps. WHEREAS, Monroe County has (hereinafter"Board of County Commissioners", "BOCC", "Board", "Monroe County", or the "County"), through a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, removed significant volumes of debris from numerous canal systems. The Florida Fish &Wildlife Conservation Commission ("FWC"), in coordination with U.S. Coast Guard and the Environmental Protection Agency, was/were responsible for the removal of approximately 800 sunken and derelict vessels. Coordinated efforts between the FWC and the Florida Keys Commercial Fishermen's Association provided for the removal of lobster traps entangled in approach channels and traps/trap debris along various shoreline areas. An estimated 56,000 traps were recovered. Additionally, there have been several grassroot efforts (e.g. Conch Republic Marine Army) who used volunteers, donations and public assistance to remove over 90 tons of marine debris along shorelines of the Florida Keys. WHEREAS, while these efforts were successful in the removal of debris in the highest impact areas, scattered debris remains along various shorelines and in nearshore waters which were not the primary focus of these projects. This scattered debris generally includes remaining trap parts/lines (an estimated 94,000 traps remain from those initially lost) and mostly small to medium sized, miscellaneous land-based debris. WHEREAS, State and Federal agencies have committed to addressing remaining debris impacts along mangrove shorelines and in associated nearshore waters. Funding support for this project in the amount of$1.3 million is part of a $44 million allocation granted to FWC by NOAA Fisheries following Hurricane Irma for fisheries restoration and recovery. FWC selected Monroe County as a sub-recipient to perform the project which is being subcontracted to this Contractor selected through a competitive solicitation process in conformance with all State and Federal guidelines. WHEREAS, this project will require that the Contractor utilize local commercial fishermen to perform the work.

SCOPE OF WORK for Post-Hurricane Irma Shoreline and Nearshore Marine Debris Removal in the Florida Keys Background The Florida Keys were hit by Category 4 Hurricane Irma on September 10, 2017 with the center of the hurricane passing over the Lower Keys. High winds, wave action and storm surge caused significant impacts to the marine environment including the deposition of a variety of marine debris throughout the Florida Keys. In the months and years following the storm, local, state and federal agencies have focused marine cleanup and recovery efforts specifically on canal debris, sunken and derelict vessels and scattered destroyed/entangled lobster traps. Monroe County (County), through a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, removed significant volumes of debris from numerous canal systems. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), in coordination with U.S. Coast Guard and the Environmental Protection Agency, were responsible for the removal of approximately 800 sunken and derelict vessels. Coordinated efforts between the FWC and the Florida Keys Commercial Fishermen's Association provided for the removal of lobster traps entangled in approach channels and traps/trap debris along various shoreline areas. An estimated 56,000 traps were recovered. Additionally, there have been several grassroot efforts (e.g. Conch Republic Marine Army) who used volunteers, donations and public assistance to remove over 90 tons of marine debris along shorelines of the Florida Keys. While these efforts were successful in the removal of debris in the highest impact areas, scattered debris remains along various shorelines and in nearshore waters which were not the primary focus of these projects. This scattered debris generally includes remaining trap parts/lines (an estimated 94,000 traps remain from those initially lost) and mostly small to medium sized, miscellaneous land-based debris. State and Federal agencies have committed to addressing remaining debris impacts along mangrove shorelines and in associated nearshore waters. Funding support for this project in the amount of $1.3 million is part of a $44 million allocation granted to FWC by NOAA Fisheries following Hurricane Irma for fisheries restoration and recovery. FWC selected Monroe County as a sub-recipient to perform the project which will be subcontracted to a vendor ("Contractor") selected through a competitive solicitation process in conformance with all State and Federal guidelines. This project will require that the Contractor utilize local commercial fishermen to perform the work. Monroe County supports commercial fishermen in the Florida Keys, and recognizes that commercial fishermen have extensive knowledge of Keys' waters, shorelines and habitats, and are generally equipped with suitable vessels and gear to navigate and perform work in shallow water areas and along mangrove shorelines. Objectives & Goals The primary objective of this project is the removal of the remaining shoreline and nearshore marine debris associated with Hurricane Irma within the Florida Keys. The goal is to provide for the cleanup of 100% of identified debris. The primary focus will be on the retrieval of commercial trap gear,particularly entangled trap rope which is anticipated to be the dominant remaining debris from Hurricane Irma. The secondary focus will be the removal of all other man-made debris identified by the project. The project will target mangrove shorelines (up to the mean high water line) and associated nearshore waters up to 1-2 feet in water depth adjacent to publicly owned shorelines. Project Description The project will commence with the Contractor conducting preliminary assessments of existing debris within the focus area of the project to determine priority locations for targeted removal activities. The Contractor will then provide and oversee several `crews' of local commercial fishermen to perform the retrieval, collection and transport of marine debris from authorized debris sites to Temporary Disposal Sites. No diving is anticipated to be necessary. The project will not include debris removal in canals. Crew activities will be reported through utilization of Daily Work Certification Forms which will provide the central record keeping for cleanup activities. The Contractor will then provide transportation of the collected debris from the Temporary Disposal Site(s)to certified disposal facilities for final disposal. General methodology for debris retrieval along mangrove shorelines in the Florida Keys includes the use of small skiffs, kayaks or floating platforms fanning out from the primary crew vessel and/or individuals walking along/into the mangroves to retrieve debris. Associated small vessels shall be of a design that provides for access to very shallow water and further access to/and into mangrove shoreline fringes. Small barges (such as pontoon A-frame barges) are suggested to be used for debris collection from the skiffs/kayaks; however, the primary crew vessels themselves (if suitable based on water depth) are also suggested to be used for debris collection/transport. It is suggested that a maximum of four crews working per day will ensure sufficient effort while still providing an effective means to reasonably monitor all crew activities on a given day, as necessary. Monroe County anticipates that$164,873 of the $1.3 million in funding available for this project will be necessary to cover the disposal costs associated with the debris collection. Therefore, the anticipated amount of funding available for the Contractor's activities is $1,135,127. Geographic Scope Hurricane Irma caused the deposition of marine debris throughout most areas of the Florida Keys. Post-hurricane imagery provided by NOAA indicated that debris was distributed in open water and canal areas,but did not provide sufficient data regarding debris in nearshore areas in less than 2 feet of water. Trap debris over-flight observations and mapping were also conducted by Florida Sea Grant. Subsequently, trap removal efforts were conducted and mapped by FWC. The map below provides an overview of the higher density areas where traps were observed and trap removals were performed. In conjunction with smaller-scale grassroots projects performed, it appears that much of the nearshore water areas and mangrove shorelines of the Florida Keys still contain large volumes of widely-scattered trap and other man-made debris. This information has been utilized in determining the focus areas for this project and where targeted efforts should be placed.

Focus Area After consideration by Monroe County, FWC and NOAA, it has been determined that the primary focus area for this project will be from the island of Marathon Key in the Middle Keys to Sugarloaf Key in the Lower Keys (see Focus Area Map below). This area is anticipated to have the highest density of debris based on the mapping data above and through conversations with various stakeholders. Focus on the higher density debris areas will maximize efficiency and ensure effective use of the limited available funding. The Focus Area has been broken down by numbered grid cells in association with the performance of the tasks and deliverables outlined below. The project will target mangrove shorelines (up to the mean high water line) and associated nearshore waters up to 1-2 feet in water depth adjacent to publicly-owned shorelines. No debris removal will occur along privately-owned shorelines or bay bottom or in canals. Monroe County will assist the Contractor in determining ownership of shoreline properties based on debris sites/areas located. Debris removal from privately-owned shorelines or privately-owned bay bottom may be allowed with a specific request, and authorization, in writing from the property owner on a case-by-case basis and with specific pre- authorization by the County's Marine Resources Office. However, no work shall occur above the mean high water line regardless of property ownership.

The Contractor, in coordination with Monroe County and FWC, will establish several TDS sites throughout the focus area. By this method, the Contractor may have multiple crews working throughout the focus area throughout the duration of the project. The Contractor shall be responsible for providing roll-offs or other suitable refuse containers at the TDS sites. The TDS sites may also serve as extraction locations to provide waterfront landing locations to offload debris from crew vessel to a shoreside location such as boat ramps. At a minimum, TDS sites will be in the vicinity of extraction locations to maximize efficiency in the performance of the work. The following sites have been identified as possible TDS sites: • Marathon- Keys Fisheries (bayside;privately owned) • Big Pine Key-the Swimming Hole (oceanside; County managed) • Ramrod Key- Commercial Fishing Area property (oceanside;privately owned) • Cudjoe Key- Blimp Rd boat ramp (gulfside; County managed) • Sugarloaf Key- Sammy Creek Landing (oceanside; FWC managed) VVIIV -51 .mG i K t, r Marathon—Keys Fisheries Bi Pine Key Swimming Hole pq y, Ramrod Key— Commercial Fishing Area Cudjoe Key—Blimp Road Boat Ramp 1 t rm sal i k Sugarloaf Key— Samm 's Creek Landing Hazmat Handling The Contractor may be retrieving and transporting hazardous materials in the performance of the described duties. The Contractor should have a sufficient level of hazmat training in order to safely handle hazmat(i.e. Hazwopper training, etc.) and ensure that all crews are familiar with handling hazardous materials as may be encountered. All hazardous materials collected shall be properly disposed of at a certified hazardous waste disposal facility. Regulatory Authority The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (Sanctuary or FKNMS) has provided federal approval for this project. A Letter of Authorization from the Sanctuary has been issued to the County for the Contractor to perform the work described in this Scope of Work. Due to the geographically narrow marine environment where the debris removal work is to be performed,no alteration of, or impact to the seafloor or mangrove vegetation is anticipated to occur. State and federal regulations prohibit damage to seagrasses or mangroves. As applicable, FKNMS staff may provide Best Management Practices (BMP) training for the Contractor and his crews to ensure that safety and environmental protective measures are followed and exhibited throughout the course of the project work. DEP and/or FKNMS staff may also be onsite for operations when removing debris from mangroves. Monroe County will coordinate with DEP and FKNMS regarding any need for state and/or federal oversight of operations. Project Tasks & Associated Deliverables Task #1 —Preliminary Debris Assessments,Work Authorization Requests & Temporary Disposal Sites • Subtask A - The Contractor shall conduct Preliminary Debris Assessments of Potential Debris Sites within each grid cell identified on the Focus Area Map above. The Contractor shall be responsible for identification of potential Debris Sites for targeted assessment, but may also be provided technical assistance by Monroe County and/or other project stakeholders. The Contractor shall collect the following information as part of the assessment: i. Descriptive data of each Debris Site including description and length of shoreline, debris type(s), and estimated debris quantity (in cubic yards); ii. Locational (latitude/longitude) data of each Debris Site including preliminary photographic and video documentation of each site. Photographs and video footage shall be geo-referenced with GPS coordinates and shall be taken at/from specific locations and at specific debris locations along the length of the shoreline. (NOTE: Identical documentation will be required post-removal for comparison purposes to ensure the project was performed successfully). The Contractor shall utilize this data to determine Total Estimated Density (high, medium or low) for each Debris Site based on the estimated debris quantity. This determination shall then be used to provide Monroe County with Suggested Priority Debris Sites for cleanup activities via Work Authorization Request Forms which shall be based upon the density of debris and the effectiveness of debris retrieval based on the Contractor's methodology.

Pricing/Fee Schedule Pricing is based on a `Daily Rate' which shall be based on an individual `crew' working on the water a minimum of seven (7) hours per day. A `crew' shall be considered all associated personnel necessary to complete the day's activities. The Daily Rate shall also include all costs associated with implementing the project including all time and materials. For pricing purposes, the minimum of seven hours per day "on the water" shall not include travel or mobilization time. Any partial days will be paid on the actual number of hours on the water doing work. A 'Total Daily Rate' shall be based on the total number of crews working per day multiplied by the individual crew Daily Rate as specified in the Fee Schedule table below. The County suggests a maximum of four crews working per day to ensure sufficient effort while still providing an effective means to reasonably monitor all crew activities on a given day, as necessary. The County recognizes that the number of crews working on any given day in any particular area may vary based on weather, logistics, methodology, location of debris, efficiency, etc. Invoice costs shall be based on actual number of crews working per day. Fee Schedule Daily Rate Per Crew Number of Crews Total Daily Rate $ 8,100/ day/crew x # of crews = 9 = $ 72,900/day (maximum) (maximum) Since pricing for the project is based on a daily rate (rather than a metric such as volume of debris removed) it is critical that performance by the Contractor provides a diligent level of effort and an acceptable level of accomplishment of the project objective. If necessary, a minimum threshold for debris removal may be established, below which the project may be paused for retooling/modifying methodology or to address sub-standard effort levels. Photo (and video) documentation by the Contractor is critical in determining restoration levels achieved. Invoicing and Record Keeping The Contractor shall submit a signed invoice, via e-mail, to the County's Contract Manager on a monthly basis upon completion of cleanup activities per Authorized Debris Site under Task 42. The invoice shall include a brief summary of the work performed during the week, the number of days and hours that individual crews worked and the total cost(based on the Pricing section above). The invoice shall also include all deliverables required for submission under Task 42 above. Monroe County will coordinate with the FWC Grant Manager upon the receipt of the invoices. FWC shall provide confirmation to the County that the invoices may be submitted for payment.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Obligee agrees that any and all payments issued by the Surety under this bond., whether to Claimants, to Obligee, to or on behalf of Principal, to contractors, suppliers, and/or to other parties perforining work or supplying materials in connection with the Contract, and/or in furtherance of the performance or satisfaction of Surety's obligations hereunder in any way (including but not limited to costs incurred in undertaking or arranging to perforin any work under or in connection with the Contract, as well as any and all costs incurred in discharging its obligations to Claimants as defined herein), are to be credited against the penal amount of the bond. Further, Obligee hereby waives notice of the Surety's issuance, undertaking or agreement to issue any such payment(s) and/or incur any such costs and Obligee covenants and agrees that the Surety may cease any and all work, payments or other performance hereunder of any kind whatsoever at any time that the penal amount of the bond has been reached or that the Surety deems the penal amount will be reached due to obligations incurred by the Surety (whether or not payment has been issued therefor); all without any requirement of prior notice to Obligee, and that any and all further obligations of Surety hereunder shall thereupon be deemed fully and unconditionally discharged.
