DEADY.kEe e.A-. MONROE CO ATTORNEY ATTEST: APP TO FORM 7 PETER MORRIS By By:� ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY z Date: 7/7/21 2 Title: Exhibit A-1 SCOPE OF SERVICES 4.1 Purpose Based on review of Committee Substitute/Senate Bill 1954 (Section 380.093, F.S.), this scope of services is to complete additional work relative to the Monroe County Vulnerability Assessments that was completed earlier in 2021 and submitted to the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection. That Vulnerability Assessment compiled data and modeling that serves as an update for the County's Green Keys Plan. While the Florida Resilience CS/SB 1954 legislation was signed into law May 12, 2021, the State still has unanswered questions about how this program will operate. Much of our analysis is based on a "worst case" interpretation in terms of level of effort to comply and a strict reading the legislation and its requirements. We continue to believe that given the significant amount of work undertaken by Monroe County to date, that the County is ahead of the game, but more work may be necessary to bring those documents and analysis into more strict compliance with what the legislation now requires. r Our rationale is as follows: Y 1. Statewide Flood and Sea Level Rise Resilience Plan. This document prepared by DEP is the"lynchpin"for funding. By December 1,2021,DEP must produce the first such plan. All parties recognize this will occur before the required rulernaking is completed but also before the State has completed the comprehensive statewide flood vulnerability and sea level rise assessment. But despite those foundational efforts, the first plan will be completed this year. 2. Project submittals. DEP has opened their project submittal grant"portal"until September � 1, 2021. The language in the law states: (d)1. By September 1,2021, and each September 1 1 thereafter, counties and municipalities may submit to the department a list of proposed projects that address risks of flooding or sea level rise ideizt'fed in vulnerahffj. t assessments that meet the re(1uLrgmeuts of suhsectiorz (3). Those requirements are below in the footnote. i 1 ' (3)(c)A vulnerability assessment conducted pursuant to paragraph(b)must encompass the entire county or municipality;include all critical assets owned or maintained by the grant applicant;and use the most recent publicly available Digital Elevation Model and generally accepted analysis and modeling techniques.An assessment may encompass a smaller geographic area or include only a portion of the critical assets owned or maintained by the J grant applicant with appropriate rationale and upon approval by the department.Locally collected elevation data may also be included as part of the assessment as long as it is submitted to the department pursuant to this t paragraph. 1.The assessment must include an analysis of the vulnerability of and risks to critical assets,including regionally significant assets,owned or managed by the county or municipality. 2.Upon completion of a vulnerability assessment,the county or municipality shall submit to the department the following: a.A report detailing the findings of the assessment. 3 II II l 3. Our best information right now is that the County shall work towards "bridging the gap" between work that has already been done and "compliance" with the requirements in subsection (3). Not all of this work to meet these requirements can be completed prior to this year's September 1, 2021 grant application deadline, but some of it can be completed to support the County's "list of grant application projects". Our best information is that those projects based on a vulnerability assessment that meets more of the criteria in subsection (3) will score better than those that don't. This is our current best information, without an implementing rule in place and in advance of the July 14, 2021 DEP workshop that has been scheduled to have a more public discussion on this. This work is to support Monroe County's project submittals and update the Green Keys Work Plan to indicate the projects completed, add in potential new projects, and move the remaining unfinished projects over the timeline to years 6-10. This Green Keys Update will include a summary supporting narrative. This work does not include preparation of grant applications to be submitted through DEP's project portal. This work also does not include a full rewrite of the Green Keys Plan. I i b.All electronic mapping data used to illustrate flooding and sea level rise impacts identified in the assessment.When submitting such data,the county or municipality shall include: (I)Geospatial data in an electronic file format suitable for input to the department's mapping tool. (II) Geographic information system data that has been projected into the appropriate Florida State Plane Coordinate System and that is suitable for the department's mapping tool.The county or municipality must also submit metadata using standards prescribed by the department. c.A list of critical assets,including regionally significant assets,that are impacted by flooding and sea level rise.(d) A vulnerability assessment conducted pursuant to paragraph(b)must include all of the following,if applicable: 1.Peril of flood comprehensive plan amendments that address the requirements of s. 163.3178(2)(f),if the county or municipality is subject to such requirements and has not complied with such requirements as determined by the Department of Economic Opportunity. 2.The depth of: a. Tidal flooding, including future high tide flooding, which must use thresholds published and provided by the department.To the extent practicable,the analysis should also geographically display the number of tidal flood days expected for each scenario and planning horizon. b.Current and future storm surge flooding using publicly available National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 1 or Federal Emergency Management Agency storm surge data.The initial storm surge event used must equal or exceed the current 100-year flood event. Higher frequency storm events may be analyzed to understand the exposure of a critical asset. c.To the extent practicable,rainfall-induced flooding using spatiotemporal analysis or existing hydrologic and hydraulic modeling results. Future boundary conditions should be modified to consider sea level rise and high tide conditions. d.To the extent practicable,compound flooding or the combination of tidal,storm surge,and rainfall-induced flooding. I 3.The following scenarios and standards: a.All analyses in the North American Vertical Datum of 1988. b. At least two local sea level rise scenarios, which must include the 2017 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration intermediate-low and intermediate-high sea level rise projections. 1 c.At least two planning horizons that include planning horizons for the years 2040 and 2070. d. Local sea level data that has been interpolated between the two closest National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration tide gauges.Local sea level data may be taken from one such gauge if the gauge has a higher mean sea level.Data taken fi•om an alternate tide gauge may be used with appropriate rationale and department approval,as long as it is publicly available or submitted to the department pursuant to paragraph(b). 4 r r 4.2. Project Description: In summary, the Consultant will provide, as required in, Section 380.093, Florida Statutes, the following components for a vulnerability assessment. 1.

The revised assessment will include it. Primarily this scope of work will include the NOAA Intermediate Lotiv sea level rise modeling, as well as a narrative Appendix or Supplement to the 2021 Vulnerability Assessment including the J rationale on how requirements are met or couldn't be met within the period of time to submit project applications to DER It should be noted that this work only includes that which can { foreseeably be completed within the timeframe for project submittals and that further work on high tide flooding and storm surge would have to be undertaken at a later date subsequent to September 1, 2021. This will not achieve 100% with the new vulnerability assessment statutory criteria due to the time constraints with submitting projects for this year, but it will bring the County into compliance with more of the requirements.
