ATTACHMENT 1 Scope of Work The South Florida Regional Planning Council and F AU's Catanese Center for Urban and Environmental Solutions propose a joint project to provide Monroe County with a Strategic Plan to address these needs. The Plan will provide a comprehensive and coherent strategy for achieving the full potential of the marine industry in Monroe County. It will characterize the current status of the industry, make recommendations on needs and potential areas for expansion based on projected growth, and present a coordinated implementation program specifying policy and regulatory modifications, institutional arrangements, financial strategies, and other measures to achieve the plan's objectives. A detailed study and analysis of the Monroe County marine industry, its land and infrastructure, will be completed and recommendations for its growth will be made. The goal of the project is to address the waterfront redevelopment issues in the Keys and provide recommendations for preserving the 'working waterfront'. In developing a Plan, the project will examine and recommend expansion opportunities for the marine industry, growth potential, support for existing industry activities, government policies and programs, and related issues. Intergovernmental coordination with other groups will help develop legislation and other measures to preserve the working waterfront in Monroe County. The following objectives, which have been identified by the Monroe County Department of Marine Resources (Department) will be addressed: . Acquire socio-economic data on existing waterfront marine facilities, analyze the data, and evaluate the importance of the 'working waterfront' both economically and culturally · Determine the potential effects of recent and current proposed redevelopment of commercial waterfront facilities . Work and cooperate with other entities studying the issues (i.e. the Marine Industries Association of South Florida; the Florida Senate Committee on Comprehensive Planning) · Gather data to aid in development of a future marina siting plan . Research and provide a wide option of recommendations and management strategies for implementation, including creative solutions, to preserve the 'working waterfront' . Focus measures/recommendations not only at the County level, but also the State level to provide for the highest level oflegislative representation and assistance Methodology & Data Collection . Examine the culture and context of working waterfronts by region (lower, middle and upper keys) . Inventory pertinent waterfront facility locations and identify specific waterfront uses . Identify undeveloped/potential working waterfront sites . Acquire socio-economic data utilizing existing or current project data as available to allow for budgetary constraints. Existing and current proj ect data may be used in addition to collecting new survey and/or interview format data, providing a mixed approach so as to allow a time and cost effective comprehensive data acquisition program. Socio-economic data surveys should include, but not be limited to: marinas, bo at yards , fish houses, commercial fishing dockage, other commercial dockage, wet/dry storage facilities, and boat ramps. Available data sources may include, but not be limited to: existing reports, studies, plans, interviews with key stakeholders, GIS data, tax roll information, zoning information, existing Communi Keys reports, fisheries catch information, etc. . Analyze current working waterfront economic contribution/distribution in both local and regional contexts . Describe and illustrate future scenarios given certain trends or directions and market forces (ex: if primary economic driver is a downturn in fishing industry or upswing in tourism and residential units/residents not needing 'white-collar' employment opportunities, etc.) . Examine 'dockage to dinner plate' relationship to local & regional economies including tourism and associated impacts . Conduct cursory examination of communities with similar characteristics facing similar challenges Data collected should be provided in a format usable in ArcMap GIS, as applicable. Also, marina inventory and other demographic data should be collected and provided in a context that allows the data to be utilized towards meeting the Comprehensive Plan Objective 212.4 (Marina Siting Study). Socioeconomic Inventory and Scenario Analysis The economic aspects of the study will focus on three major commercial industries located in coastal areas: manufacturing (boat building), retail (boat dealers), service (marinas, boat repair and maintenance), seafood product preparation and packaging (commercial fish houses) and water transportation (commercial dockage). Examination of the fishing and tourism industries constitutes an extended study as the linkages between the different economic sectors are developed. The primary economic driver considered will be the consequences of land use changes on the marine industry. Employment will be the key variable used to represent the industries. Data Collection South Florida Regional Planning Council (SFRPC) has obtained current Monroe County Property Tax Rolls and employment data from the State Agency for Workforce Innovation (AWl). It will be necessary for Monroe County to enter into a memo of understanding with AWL so we may share this undisclosed data with it. Monroe County will make available in electronic format its business license data with regards to the before mentioned industries, as well as historical information (1990-2004), pending and completed building permit data for coastal properties. Monroe County will also make available in electronic format information on all publicly operated marinas and boat ramps. Data Analysis This will include a Geographic Information System (GIS) presentation ofthe changes in land use and values over the last decade of coastal properties and a mapping of relevant sites. The potential effects of recent and current proposed redevelopment of commercial waterfront facilities will be estimated from the tax assessors' data, the Monroe County Building, Planning and Zoning data and other relevant data sources. Potential working waterfront sites should be consistent with currently zoned commercial and industrial land use designations. SFRPC will help design survey instruments or interview guides that will be used to elicit information from representatives of public and private sector stakeholders. It is essential for the SFRPC to be involved in the surveyor interview design process so that the necessary data for subsequent economic modeling is acquired. Data available from all relevant sources will be utilized. Information supplied by the Monroe County Tourist Development Council will be used to study the tourism industry as well as data from the IMPLAN Input-Output system. As regards to the fishing industry, various research documents will be provided by the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Sea Grant and the University of Miami Rosenstie1 School of Marine and Atmospheric . Science. as. well as infonriationfrom the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Marine Fisheries Commission. SFRPC will work in cooperation with other entities studying waterfront redevelopment issues, such as the Marine Industries Association of South Florida. Weare currently conducting a similar study in another small county in the South Florida Region. Any relevant information gathered from this study will be applied to Monroe County. A comparable situation exists for the community of Apalachicola in Franklin County, Florida, which might warrant further examination. Scenario Analysis The economIC evaluation of or the estimation of the economIC impacts on the 'working waterfront' will be conducted using the REMI model under two scenarios. The first is that the marine industry, consisting of the interrelated economic sectors, will be reduced by a certain percentage in Monroe County due to land use changes. The amount of contraction in the various industries will be determined from the initial data analysis and will be represented as a range of values for estimation purposes. The second will be the economic impact on Monroe County of the loss of the marine manufacturing and retail industry along with a corresponding decrease in the other related economic sectors. This scenario is based the belief that these two particular industry sectors could relocate north to neighboring counties and still provide their goods and services to residents of the Keys. These scenarios and their underlying assumptions based on the data collection are subject to review and reassessment as the study continues. The industry scenarios would result in a baseline and two alternative forecasts of significant economic and demographic variables. The projections will encompass trends in such variables as employment, personal income, output or gross regional product, investment, and population. The inventory of waterfront facilities and their detailed use will be a prerequisite to the economic modeling and impacts analysis of changes in the Monroe County marine and related industries. The county level study will be conducted within a regional context so that regional and statewide recommendations will be forthcoming. The economic model used to evaluate of the 'working waterfront' is a multi-regional model consisting of seven South Florida counties and the rest of the State of Florida. This will allow for possible legislative representation and assistance. Scope of Analysis In addition, the economic analysis will be reported according to a lower, middle and upper division of Monroe County. These geographic regions will by necessity have to correspond with zip code designations in order to conform to the economic data sources. The economic impact software IMPLAN will build zip code level models for the Keys. These models will be utilized to allocate the countywide effects of land use changes and policy measures. Prod u cts/Deliverab les Provide a comprehensive 'Marine Management Plan' (Report) to include, but not limited to: . A brief overview of the history and importance of commercial waterfront facilities in the Keys, including a definition/description of the term 'working waterfront' as it applies to Monroe County. . A complete description of the objectives . A complete description of the methodology . A complete description of any analyses . A complete description of the results . A comprehensive discussion section providing an overview of the issues, trends, data, and results. The section should paint an overview of the recent past, present and future in regards to the 'working waterfront' and how it affects the economy and community character of the Keys as well as the history and culture of the Keys. . A comprehensive list of management strategies and recommendations, including but not limited to: public/private partnerships, tax incentives, tax abatements, development right purchasing, Land Development Regulation changes and/or Comprehensive Plan amendments, etc. This comprehensive list may be organized or categorized according to types or modes of direction for the County to choose from, etc. . Appendices including all acquired data, references, literature research, and any other pertinent information The final Report should also detail and describe any cooperative and/or collaborative efforts at the regional and state levels. Timeline The study and accompanymg recommendations will be completed by December 31, 2005, assuming a start date of March I, 2005. Draw Schedule The contract cost for this study is $99,000. One third of the payment will be disbursed upon execution of the contract. One third will be disbursed upon completion of task one and two in the strategic plan timeline. One third will be disbursed upon completion ofthe study.
