AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Permission to Advertise a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Update
of 2009 Geospatial Land Cover Mapping (habitat) dataset for the Florida Keys as required by the
Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies to be used by staff, a required Tier Review
Committee, and the Board, in the required update of the Land Development Code Tier Overlay
District Maps, along with evaluation of the listed, threatened, and endangered species habitat.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
In 2008, Monroe County contracted with Photo Science, Inc., St. Petersburg, Florida for the
development of a geospatial land cover dataset for the Florida Keys. Monroe County required Photo
Science to create a land cover dataset developed from 2006 high resolution orthophotographs,
combined with field work, to produce an updated land cover geospatial dataset. This geospatial
dataset is referred to as the"Habitat" layer in the County's Geographical Information System (GIS).
The Habitat layer is used in part to determine the cover of native upland habitat and is a key tool in
the development of the Tier Overlay District maps.
The Area of Critical State Concern workplan and Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and
Policies requires the County to:
1. Send DEO an EAR letter, due May 21, 2021, stating what amendments are necessary. This
letter will go to the BOCC in March or April, 2021.
2. Update habitat data for the LDC tier overlay district maps
3. Evaluate listed, threatened, and endangered species as of 2021.
4. Form a tier review committee to review tier criteria, habitat, species, lands acquired by public
entities to determine if amendments are needed to further protect and enhance native upland
vegetation.
The requested Update of the 2009 Geospatial land cover dataset is critical to our being able to
achieve these workplan items.
Staff is requesting permission to advertise an RFP for an consultant to perform this update, at a cost
of$125,000.

The specific objectives and policies regarding this mapping effort are:
Obiective 106.1
Monroe County shall adjust the tier boundaries and implement the Florida Keys Carrying
Capacity Study, utilizing updated habitat data and recommendations of the Tier Designation
Review Committee (TDRC) Work Group. [Note: As amended by Final Order DCA07-GM166,
parcels included in the challenge with Tier I and Tier IIIA (SPA) boundaries have been adjusted
to reflect the amended Tier Criteria resulting from the DOAH Case 06-2449(GM)].
Policyl06.1.1
Monroe County shall update habitat data and the Land Development Code Tier (Zoning) Overlay
District Maps to coincide with the State comprehensive plan evaluation and appraisal schedule
(May 1, 2021).
Policy 106.1.2
Monroe County shall establish a Tier Designation Review Committee (TDRC) Work Group to
consist of representatives selected by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO)
from Monroe County, Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, United States Fish &
Wildlife Service, Department of Environmental Protection and environmental and other relevant

• Vacant land which can be restored to connect upland native habitat patches and reduce
further fragmentation of upland native habitat.
• Lands required to provide an undeveloped buffer, up to 500 feet in depth, if indicated by
appropriate special species studies, between natural areas and development to reduce
secondary impacts; canals or roadways, depending on size may form a boundary that
removes the need for the buffer or reduces its depth.
• Lands designated for acquisition by public agencies for conservation and natural resource
protection.
• Known locations of threatened and endangered species.
• Lands designated as Conservation and Residential Conservation on the Future Land Use
Map or within a buffer/restoration area as appropriate.
• Areas with minimal existing development and infrastructure.
2. Lands on Big Pine Key and No Name Key designated as Tier I, II, or III shall be in
accordance with the wildlife habitat quality criteria as defined in the Habitat Conservation
Plan for those islands.
3. Lands located outside of Big Pine Key and No Name Key that are not designated Tier I shall
be designated Tier III.
4. Designated Tier III lands located outside of Big Pine Key and No Name Key with tropical
hardwood hammock or pinelands of one acre or greater in area shall be designated as Special
Protection Areas.
5. Lands within the Ocean Reef planned development shall be excluded from any Tier
designation.

SECTION ONE INSTRUCTION TO
RESPONDENTS
1.01 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Objective of the Request for Proposal
The Planning & Environmental Resources Department of Monroe County, Florida invites firms 0
to submit proposals for the development of a geospatial land cover dataset for the Florida
Keys. Geospatial land cover data is used by the Monroe County Planning & Environmental
Resources Department as a planning tool to conduct spatial analysis for policy and land use
decision making. The most current GIS land cover dataset was developed based on 2006 4-
aerial photography and has not been updated since 2009. Monroe County requires the update U_
of the existing land cover dataset using current(2021) orthophotography to produce an
updated land cover geospatial dataset for effective policy decision making and comprehensive
planning. >
e(
1.02 PROJECT LOCATION
c
Project Area
The Florida Keys consists of a chain of thirty-eight islands approximately 120 miles long, E
connected by a series of forty-one bridges. In addition there are hundreds of "offshore islands" CL
located within County boundaries. Geologically, the Florida Keys consist of the fossilized 0
remains of an ancient coral reef system. The Upper Keys display an outcropping of the Key
Largo Limestone which was the "backbone" of the ancient reef and the Lower Keys are overlain
by oolitic limestone deposits. The Keys are characterized by low relief(mostly less than five feet
above sea level) and the area experiences a subtropical savanna-type climate of warm
summers and mild dry winters. Vegetative communities found in the Keys range from hardwood
hammock forests and pinelands, to freshwater wetlands, salt marsh, mangroves, and beaches.
The updated land cover dataset extent should match the same extent of the existing dataset
and capture all land cover types within the study area(Figure 1).

Photo Science, Inc. mapped the above referenced land cover classifications in accordance with the
following conventions:
(1) Developed Land
Comprised of areas of intensive use with much of the land covered by structures. Examples
are dwellings, strip developments, industrial and commercial complexes, landfills,
golfcourses and parks. All impervious surface areas below 0.5 acres will also be included
within this category.
(2) Undeveloped Land
Includes open, scarified or disturbed lands which tend to have uncertain land uses and may
contain native species.
(3) Impervious Surface
Includes all surfaces above 0.5 acres which do not allow, or minimally allows, the
penetration of water. Examples are building roofs, concrete and asphalt pavements/parking
lots and some fine grained soils such as clays. U-
(4) Hammock
Used to designate most of the upland and upland hammock vegetation
found throughout the Keys that is natural and generally undisturbed.
�C
(5) Pineland
This is an upland forest community with an open canopy dominated by the
native slash pine composed of known species.
E
(6) Exotic
RFP for Update of 2009 Geospatial Land Cover Dataset for the Florida Keys 5
Packet Pg. 2419
K.10.a
Invasive exotic species include Melaleuca, Australian Pine, Brazilian Pepper, Leatherleaf
and Sapodilla north of the seven mile bridge.
(7) Scrub Mangrove
Typically found in the lower Keys, coastal scrub mangrove of dwarf mangrove are s
dominated by known species. Plants are typically less than 5' tall. v)
t�
(8) Freshwater Wetland 0
Wetland areas with either standing water or saturated soil or both where the water is fresh or
brackish composed of known species. Some Freshwater Wetlands are isolated and therefore
not subject to the MMU of 0.5 acres. Rather,photointerpreters will delineate them without
regard to the MMU. 0
(9) Salt marsh
The salt marsh community is a wetland area subject to tidal influence, and the vegetation is
dominated by non-woody groundcovers and grasses.
(10) Buttonwood
Designates the transitional areas located between tidal mangroves and hammocks that are 0
dominated by Buttonwood. The Buttonwood wetland is a wetland that is usually present in
the more landward zone of the transitional wetland area, and may intermix with more upland
communities. �+
E
(11) Mangrove
A wetland plant association subject to tidal influence where the vegetation is dominated by
Black, White or Red mangroves, containing both shrub and tree size vegetation.
a�
(12) Beach Berm
A bare sandy shoreline, coastal dune or a mound or ridge of unconsolidated sand that is
immediately landward of, and usually parallel to, the shoreline. The sand is calcareous
material that is the remains of marine organisms such as corals, algae and molluscs. The
berm may include forested, coastal ridges and may be colonized by hammock vegetation.
(13) Water
All water bodies, both fresh and tidal (saline).

EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF
SERVICES
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Objective of the Request for Proposal
The Planning & Environmental Resources Department of Monroe County, Florida invites firms 0
to submit proposals for the Update of the County's existing 2009 Geospatial Land Cover Dataset
for the Florida Keys. T h e Geospatial land cover data is used by the Monroe County Planning
& Environmental Resources Department as a planning tool to conduct spatial analysis for
policy and land use decision making. The most current GIS land cover dataset was developed 0
based on 2006 aerial photography and has not been updated. Monroe County requires the U_
update of the land cover dataset using current(2021) high resolution orthophotography to a,
produce an updated land cover geospatial dataset for effective policy decision making and
comprehensive planning.
Project Area
The Florida Keys consists of a chain of thirty-eight islands approximately 120 miles long,
connected by a series of forty-one bridges. In addition there are hundreds of"offshore islands" n
located within County boundaries. Geologically, the Florida Keys consist of the fossilized E
remains of an ancient coral reef system. The Upper Keys display an outcropping of the Key a.
Largo Limestone which was the "backbone" of the ancient reef and the Lower Keys are overlain by 0
oolitic limestone deposits. The Keys are characterized by low relief(mostly less than five feet
above sea level) and the area experiences a subtropical savanna-type climate of warm �.
summers and mild dry winters. Vegetative communities found in the Keys range from hardwood
hammock forests and pinelands, to freshwater wetlands, salt marsh, mangroves, and beaches.
The updated land cover dataset extent should match the same extent of the existing dataset and
capture all land cover types within the study area(Figure 1).

PROJECT HISTORY
In 2008, Monroe County contracted with Photo Science, Inc., St. Petersburg, Florida for the
development of a geospatial land cover dataset for the Florida Keys. Monroe County required
Photo Science to create a land cover dataset developed from 2006 high resolution s
v)
orthophotographs, combined with field work,to produce an updated land cover geospatial
dataset. 0

Photo Science, Inc. mapped the above referenced land cover classifications in accordance with
the following conventions:
(1) Developed Land
Comprised of areas of intensive use with much of the land covered by structures. Examples are s
dwellings, strip developments, industrial and commercial complexes, landfills, golfcourses and
parks. All impervious surface areas below 0.5 acres will also be included within this category.
0
(2) Undeveloped Land
Includes open, scarified or disturbed lands which tend to have uncertain land uses and may
contain native species.
(3) Impervious Surface
Includes all surfaces above 0.5 acres which do not allow, or minimally allows,the penetration
of water. Examples are building roofs, concrete and asphalt pavements/parking lots and some
fine grained soils such as clays.
�C
(4) Hammock
Used to designate most of the upland and upland hammock vegetation
found throughout the Keys that is natural and generally undisturbed. E
(5) Pineland

Packet Pg. 2445
K.10.a
This is an upland forest community with an open canopy dominated by the
native slash pine composed of known species.
(6) Exotic
Invasive exotic species include Melaleuca, Australian Pine, Brazilian Pepper, Leatherleaf and
Sapodilla north of the seven mile bridge. _
v)
(7) Scrub Mangrove 0
Typically found in the lower Keys, coastal scrub mangrove of dwarf mangrove are dominated
by known species. Plants are typically less than 5' tall.
(8) Freshwater Wetland 0
Wetland areas with either standing water or saturated soil or both where the water is fresh or U_
brackish composed of known species. Some Freshwater Wetlands are isolated and therefore not
subject to the MMU of 0.5 acres. Rather,photointerpreters will delineate them without regard to
the MMU. >
(9) Salt marsh c
The salt marsh community is a wetland area subject to tidal influence, and the vegetation is
dominated by non-woody groundcovers and grasses. n
E
(10) Buttonwood CL
Designates the transitional areas located between tidal mangroves and hammocks that are 0
dominated by Buttonwood. The Buttonwood wetland is a wetland that is usually present in the
more landward zone of the transitional wetland area, and may intermix with more upland �.
communities.
(11) Mangrove
A wetland plant association subject to tidal influence where the vegetation is dominated by
Black, White or Red mangroves, containing both shrub and tree size vegetation.
(12) Beach Berm
A bare sandy shoreline, coastal dune or a mound or ridge of unconsolidated sand that is
immediately landward of, and usually parallel to, the shoreline. The sand is calcareous material 0
that is the remains of marine organisms such as corals, algae and molluscs. The berm may
include forested, coastal ridges and may be colonized by hammock vegetation.
c
(13) WaterCL
All water bodies, both fresh and tidal (saline). U_

to Risk Management to waive and modify various insurance provisions.

• The County as being named as an Additional Insured — If a letter from the Insurance
Company (not the Agent) is presented, stating that they are unable or unwilling to name the
County as an Additional Insured, Risk Management has not been granted the authority to <
waive this provision. c

submitted for consideration with the proposal.
After consideration by Risk Management and if approved, the form will be returned, to the County
Attorney who will submit the Waiver with the other contract documents for execution by the Clerk of
