AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of Selection Committee Ranking of Respondents to
Request For Proposals (RFP) for the Update of the 2009 Geospatial Land Cover Mapping (Habitat)
Dataset for the Florida Keys; and Approval to Negotiate Contract With Firms in Rank Order.
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 ("ACSC")
workplan and Comprehensive Plan Goals, Objectives and Policies require the County to:
1. Update habitat data for the Land Development Code ("LDC") Tier Overlay District maps.
2. Evaluate listed, threatened, and endangered species as of 2022.
3. 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 achieving these
workplan and Comprehensive Plan items.
On June 15, 2022, the RFP was approved for advertising by the BOCC. Proposals were opened on
September 1, 2022. Two (2)vendors submitted proposals.
On September 22, 2022 the selection committee met in a publicly posted selection committee
meeting, and ranked the firms in the following order:

SECTION ONE INSTRUCTION TO
RESPONDENTS
CL
1.01 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Objective of the Request for Proposal CL
The Planning & Environmental Resources Department of Monroe County, Florida invites firms
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 X
including development of the Tier Overlay District (zoning) maps. The most current GIS land
cover dataset was developed based on 2006 aerial photography and has not been updated since
2009. Monroe County requires the update of the existing land cover dataset using current(2022)
orthophotography to produce an updated land cover geospatial dataset for effective policy
decision making, comprehensive planning and Tier Overlay District map amendments. The project
also includes recommended updates to the Tier Overlay District map based on the updated dataset. 0
1.02 PROJECT LOCATION
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"
located within County boundaries. Geologically, the Florida Keys consist of the fossilized
remains of an ancient coral reef system. The Upper Keys display an outcropping of the Key W
4-
Largo Limestone which was the "backbone" of the ancient reef and the Lower Keys are overlain by c
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 N1
and capture all land cover types within the study area(Figure 1). Ti

Photo Science, Inc. mapped the above referenced land cover classifications in accordance with the c
following conventions: >
0
(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, Ni
golfcourses and parks. All impervious surface areas below 0.5 acres will also be included T-
within this category.
a�
(2) Undeveloped Land
Includes open, scarified or disturbed lands which tend to have uncertain land uses and may
contain native species.
(3) Impervious Surface U
Includes all surfaces above 0.5 acres which do not allow, or minimally allows, the U
penetration of water. Examples are building roofs, concrete and asphalt pavements/parking
lots and some fine grained soils such as clays.
(4) Hammock
00
Used to designate most of the upland and upland hammock vegetation
found throughout the Keys that is natural and generally undisturbed.
(5) Pineland
This is an upland forest community with an open canopy dominated by the U
native slash pine composed of known species.
(6) Exotic
RFP for Update of 2009 Geospatial Land Cover Dataset for the Florida Keys 5
Packet Pg.4044
L.5.c
Invasive exotic species include Melaleuca, Australian Pine, Brazilian Pepper, Leatherleaf
and Sapodilla north of the seven mile bridge.
a�
(7) Scrub Mangrove
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
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. L_
(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. 0
(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.
(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.
W
(12) Beach Berm 0
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 0
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.

Tier Overlay District Maps c
U
The initial tier boundaries for the Tier Overlay District Map were drawn by the then Growth U
Management Division staff using environmental and development information and digital data
prepared by the Florida Marine Resources Institute and utilized in the Florida Keys Carrying U_
Capacity Study, aerial photography, permitting and property tax records and refined through site
visits by the County Biologists and Planning staff. 00
Updates to the Tier Overlay District maps will require the evaluation and analysis of habitat area as
determined in the Habitat Mapping task as well as analysis of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service E
(USFWS)data regarding potentially suitable habitat for federally listed species, including the current U
Species Focus Area maps (SFAM's).

Tier Overlay District boundaries will be evaluated in accordance with Chapter 130-130 of the Monroe
County Land Development Code:
Section 130-130(c) Tier boundary criteria, excluding Big Pine Key and No Name Key. The tier
boundaries are designated using aerial photography, data from the Florida Keys Carrying
Capacity Study, the endangered species maps, property and permitting information and
field evaluation. The following criteria, at a minimum, are used to evaluate upland habitats
and designate boundaries between different tier overlays:
(1) Tier I boundaries shall be delineated to include one or more of the following criteria and X
shall be designated tier 1: L_

reduce further fragmentation of upland native habitat. 0
b. Lands required to provide an undeveloped buffer,up to 500 feet in depth, if indicated
as appropriate by special species studies, between natural areas and development to
reduce secondary impacts. Canals or roadways, depending on width, may form a
boundary that removes the need for the buffer or reduces its depth.
C. Lands designated for acquisition by public agencies for conservation and natural
resource protection.
d. Known locations of threatened and endangered species, as defined in section 101-1,
identified on the threatened and endangered plant and animal maps or the Florida
Keys Carrying Capacity Study maps, or identified in on-site surveys.
e. Conservation, native area, sparsely settled, and offshore island land use districts.
f. Areas with minimal existing development and infrastructure.

Vegetation Mapping Accuracy Assessment
Project description
Wood completed the field data collection and database creation for an a,
accuracy assessment of the remote sensing vegetation mapping at five ..
facilities (three locations) near Jacksonville, Florida.The sites included
Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, Fort Matanzas National
Monument, Fort Caroline National Memorial, Timucuan Ecological and
Historical Preserve, and Canaveral National Seashore.
The project involved deploying a crew of four to groundtruth vegetative w
communities mapped to NVC communities using remote sensing.Therew ,o
were two deployments: one for Canaveral National Seashore and another
for the other four sites.The Canaveral National Seashore data collection �r
included nearly 600 points,with a crew of four biologists over the course r
one month—with an interruption for a hurricane.The other sites were „u6q!pi
completed in six weeks total for nearly 600 points with a crew of four
biologists. Most of that time was at Timucuan Preserve, but also included
three other smaller sites.
The field crews could only access some points by boat and crew members l� r
enabledused handheld GPS units and GIS capture necessary data. The field crew collected field data on dominant
and used the vegetative community key provided, while also collecting
photographs, GPS data, and completing a data form. The final data forms
were provided as PLOTS database, along with the GIS data for the III IIIII
locations and their photographs. W
Challenges included the complex terrain, hurricanes, and tidal influences. Our field leader held daily safety
briefings and kept close coordination with park staff. In addition, a large amount of data needed to be
collected over a large area by multiple individuals. Wood developed a digital interface to enter data that
would later be compatible with the already designed NPS PLOTS database. This eliminated the need for
paper data sheets and reduced errors in transcription. It also made the delivery of the PLOTS database
nearly seamless from the field data. Wood provided a letter report, GIS data of final field locations, NPS
PLOTS database with all field data, and georeferenced photographs.The project was completed on time
and on budget, despite the hurricane evacuation of field staff.

Project description
The Southwest Florida Water Management District (District) selected the
Quantum Spatial and Wood team to perform the Districtwide Seagrass
Mapping Project including the acquisition of digital orthophotos,
photointerpretation of seagrass and other benthic habitats, and field
work to verify desktop interpretations.The project area to be assessed

Wood developed a statistically sound sampling and analysis protocol tolllllp
assess the accuracy of the seagrass mapping efforts. This included
sampling locations, data collection templates for Survey123, and
m W ��m uu IIUUI IIUUUII IIIIIII
statistical analysis of the field data in comparison to the photo- Ili
interpreted map data. The accuracy assessment sampling design used
stratified randomization, a sampling approach that distributes sampling "fib ` 6'lll', °IIII''l
effort among geographical segments and habitat types (grassed or not)
and directs greater sampling effort into grassed areas to reduce
variability in the data.The distribution of sampling points was assigned
based on a two-level stratification approach.With this design, Wood
divided each segment into polygons/zones based on previous mapping
data to reduce variability.The first stratification level separated the
project area by waterbody segment. The second level stratified the segments into previously grassed or
not grassed polygons. Sampling points were selected from sites randomly selected from the grassed and
not grassed strata within each segment.The number of points for each stratum were apportioned by the
polygon area.
Wood then performed field data collection of benthic habitats across the entire project area. Field staff
conducted data collection of 1,254 sample locations over 27 days from boats using underwater video
equipment and direct observation. Field data was recorded with field tablets and ArcGIS Survey123
software. Wood also utilized underwater video cameras to record imagery of plots and provided QAQC of
the data using the recorded video. Wood compared the photo-interpreted map data against the field-
collected data to determine the accuracy of the desktop mapping efforts.Wood produced a geodatabase
of the sampling data in ESRI format and a summary report of findings of the Accuracy Assessment.

As part of the Monroe County Canal Restoration Program, Wood
completed the design, permitting, and construction oversight for six
projects P Y
demonstration
ro ects that were completed evaluate thepfeasibilit
and cost of implementation of the technologies selected as art of Phase
II of the Canal Management Master Plan.The selected technologies
consisted of:
Air curtains to prevent the influx of weed wrack into canalsI a m„
Removal of accumulated organic sediment IIII
Installation of a culverts to promote flushing mm
Backfilling of a deep canal
Data collection consisting of bathymetric surveying, geotechnical
sampling, tidal studies, and polymer performance testing was completed
as needed to facilitate design. Additionally, hydraulic modeling was used
to properly size the flushing culverts. Wood worked closely with Monroe County to increase involvement
with stakeholders, both homeowners and government agencies, to help ensure that the implementation
of the projects caused minimal disruption to homeowners and the environment. During implementation,
optimization of the construction activities was completed; including permitting an alternative polymer to
increase the production rate for organic sediment removal, and implementing noise reducing measures
for the air curtains to mitigate homeowner concerns. Wood provided oversight of the construction
activities to ensure that the project performance specifications were followed, and worked closely with
contractors to correct items of non-compliance in a timely manner. The demonstration projects achieved
significant success, most notably the reestablishment of seagrass in the canal that was backfilled.

Monroe County Mobile LiDAR
Project description
Monroe County desires to develop a more accurate representation of w"
ground elevations in the developed portion of the five municipalities of
Islamorada, Layton, Marathon, Key Colony Beach and Key West to help
guide important planning and design activities. In general, the
municipalities would like to develop ground elevations and structural
elevations in areas where planning activities are underway to help refine the understanding of existing
and potential future conditions. This effort includes, but not limited to, LiDAR scanning and data
extraction for all of the roadway centerlines within the municipalities and also the development of spot
elevations identified through other technologies such as land surveying, terrestrial scanning and GPS in
areas that are undeveloped or where the vegetation canopy is such that aerial or mobile LIDAR may be
unable to collect the required data.
The work under this contract will be primarily focused on developing information that the municipalities
may use to consider long-term environmental changes expected in the County. Sea-level rise, for
example, is an increasing concern since much of the County is located in low-lying areas where slight
increases in sea level could affect large areas within the County. The data generated by this effort will
supply the municipalities with the data platform it will need to guide decisions that will help avoid or
mitigate such concerns.

Orange Creek Basin Remote Sensing
g g
and Vegetation Mapping �I
Project description
Wood was contracted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC) to produce ArcGIS shapefiles of littoral zone m '
vegetation occurring within three lakes in the Orange Creek Basin with ii r m
a
an accuracy of at least 90%. The lakes included in the project in 2013 and
W � a �
2016 were Newnans Lake (6,200 acres), Lochloosa Lake (9,000 acres), and
Orange Lake (13,400 acres); in 2019 the lakes mapped were Lochloosa
and Orange Lake.The shapefiles for each lake were created through
photo interpretation based on extensive field work within each lake with .,
FWC staff and recent aerials photos flown by GPI (formerly ACA).The
aerial imagery used for the project consisted of 1-foot resolution (i.e., 1 foot ground sample distance),
color infra-red (CIR) digital aerial photography and true color photography. Field reconnaissance was
conducted with FWC staff so that aerial photographic signatures could be compared with the vegetation
communities in the littoral zones of each lake.
Photo interpretation was completed in a 2D environment using ArcMAP GIS software version 10.2.1 and
10.4.A feature class was created for each lake, and photo interpreters digitized and classified vegetation
for each lake directly to the orthorectified imagery. High resolution imagery allowed photo interpreters to
work at a detailed scale (1 inch equals 80 ft.) and delineate polygons to the minimum mapping unit of
0.25 acre. Classification was based on color, texture, shape, and location,while fieldwork groundtruthing
points were used as corroborating data.After photo interpretation, topological validation routines were
run so that the feature classes were error-free.Wood also created a Photo Interpretation Key to document
the classification system and mapping conventions.The Key was consulted during photo interpretation to
ensure consistency. The key also serves to provide metadata for future users. The final shapefiles were
submitted to FWC for accuracy assessment.Wood has consistently achieved 90% accuracy.

Seagrass Propeller Scar Mapping u�
Project description r ,
Wood was contracted by the University of Florida (UF) to produce
seagrass scarring maps for the near shore areas of Citrus County and
Hernando County, Florida. Aerial photograph for the near shore are
as
of both counties was previously acquired by the Southwest Florida Water
Management District (SWFWMD) and provided to Wood b UF. UF also
III
s'
provided delineated seagrass beds to Wood.
Prior to scar mapping, Wood determined that there are 80,000 acres of
seagrass located within 1 m-depth of water within Citrus and Hernando
Counties.After identifying this project area, the areas with frequent boat traffic were photo interpreted
and the moderate and severely scarred seagrass acreage was identified. The acreage and percentage
scarred within each polygon was also calculated.To complete the project,Wood first developed of Photo
Interpretation (PI) Key. The Photo Interpretation provided a description of the scarring signatures and a
delineated aerial signature. The PI Key serves several purposes, but its primary function is to ensure
consistent and repeatable classification.
Photo interpretation was then completed in a 2D environment using ArcMAP GIS software version 10.3.1
(ESRI). Photo interpreters digitized and classified seagrass scars directly to over orthorectified imagery,
using exclusively the 1-ft resolution 2016 SWFWMD Springs Coast Imagery. Classification was based on
color, texture, shape, and location. Once the photo interpretation was completed, topological validation
routines were run using GIS to ensure the feature classes were free of errors. Two coverage modifiers were
used to classify the percentage of scarring compared to the area of seagrass.
Moderate Scarring (M): 5% - 20% scars
Severe Scarring (S): > 20% scars
Outside the project scope, areas with light (L) scarring (<5%)were also identified. OF conducted accuracy
assessments. Collaboration between Wood and OF staff allowed for efficient mapping, which produced
highly accurate seagrass scarring maps for the nearshore areas of Citrus and Hernando Counties.

As part of this project, Wood has reviewed the existing park assets and infrastructure for its current state
of use and needed repairs. The work is aligned closely with the Public Assistance Program administered
through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and reviewed a range of architectural and
engineering designs to repair and replace park amenities that were damaged by Hurricane Irma. The
project includes surveys, permitting assistance, bid support, design, permitting, document reviews, and
construction administration.
The project also includes a review of connected assets that would be required to maintain services
connected to the park's long-term viability, which includes the FDOT vulnerability work for U.S. 1,
evaluating potential roadway deterioration from road-base levels and the USACE Coastal Risk

Three project scope alternatives with varying degrees of cost,
time, design, and construction are presented below to address the revitalization and protection of Harry
Harris Park and adjacent neighborhoods from sea level rise.
Alternative A would include a major redesign of the Park with significant changes to existing structures
and/or grading. This could incorporate any number of different strategies for mitigating the impact of sea
level rise, King Tides, and storm surge resulting from hurricanes. Combinations of such strategies could be
to retreat critical assets further inland while extending the footprint of the park farther into the ocean and
establishing a living shoreline on that footprint. Options within a redesign alternative could also include
elevating the park, like the approach at Bernstein Park, by using fill to raise the grade of the entire park to
withstand a level of sea level rise based on to-be-determined design life projections.
Alternative B would include the implementation of strategies that focus on the protection of
predetermined critical park assets only, such as the boat ramp, shoreline, and ballfields.Alternative B
could also include minor enhancements to other features as well to mitigate flooding. One such example
of protecting critical assets could include the increase in top-of-grade of the boat ramp and
upgrading/constructing a hardened structure along the ramp to prevent the infiltration of floodwaters to
the park. Small improvements to assist in this plan could be the implementation of pervious surfaces such
as pavers or gravel instead of concrete or asphalt to allow the water to percolate through the ground.
Alternative C would be the baseline plan to which other alternatives are compared. The strategy would be
"replace-in-kind".Alterative C would be the repair and replacement of damaged existing structures with
no enhancements or changes to the park design.While this is a minimal approach, it does provide a small
increase in resiliency by eliminating the weak points within damaged structures.
Wood developed engineering options and cost scenarios for the County to evaluate alternatives for multi-
hazard climate impacts, and park assets, operations, and facilities to provide current and future services.
We use our resilience engineering expertise, background from similar work in Florida, and leading
resilience planning guidelines such as the Waterfront Alliance's Waterfront Edge Design Guidelines
(WEDG) to complete an adaptation plan for site-specific vulnerabilities. Our work at Harry Harris Park, and
other similar projects, demonstrates that some of the best adaptation options are often the simplest.

Project Approach
Wood is an international leader in remote sensing and photointerpretation, and at the forefront of
emerging GIS technologies. We employ a globally integrated team of GIS, remote sensing, and geomatics
professionals. Our Florida team has been working for over a decade alongside other Wood offices
throughout the country and beyond on remote sensing projects.We have performed numerous
photointerpretation and mapping projects throughout Florida and the US.
Additionally,we have assembled a project team with expertise in all disciplines and services anticipated
for this project, and who have direct experience with the exact services sought for this project. Wood has
provided full-service GIS photointerpretation and remote sensing services to public and private clients
throughout Florida for more than 30 years through our Miami, Lakeland, Tampa, Orlando, and Gainesville
offices.Wood's staff base includes 300 highly qualified and experienced professionals in the South Florida
area who have full access to Wood's broader resource base, which includes approximately 45,000
professionals located across Florida, the United States, and the globe. Our in-house resources have
extensive and recent experience in all aspects of remote sensing, photointerpretation,vegetative
mapping, and GIS analysis.
In our Florida offices we employ several Geographic Information System Professionals, (LISP).These
professionals have a wide variety of expertise in GIS analysis and mapping. They have produced hundreds
of successful mapping and analysis projects throughout Florida over the last 30 years. We also have
extensive experience working with Monroe County on GIS projects.
Our team will employ photointerpretation methods that have evolved from decades of work in the field.
The staff will develop a photo interpretation key specific to the Monroe County Land Cover Classifications.
Included in this key will be representative aerial imagery signatures for each land cover classification type.
Within each of the classification signatures will be observed variations in vegetative density, water levels,
and elements of the built environment. The representative signatures will be developed using our remote
sensing tools developed by Wood for this specific application. The primary function of the
photointerpretation key is to ensure comprehensive and repeatable classification results from every
member of the team.
The preliminary photointerpretation work will then be completed in the 2D environment using ArcMAP
GIS software version 10.8.1 (ESRI) and ArcPro version 2.7.2. Photo interpreters will be digitizing and
classifying land cover updates directly over the 2021 ortho rectified aerial imagery provided by the
County.The draft layers will then be reviewed by other team members to ensure the photointerpretation
calls are consistent across the entire project.After the draft layers are inspected and edited for accuracy,
they will be added to our draft geodatabase that is sent to our internal QA lead for review.After final
review by our QA team the data will be used to develop our mobile applications for field review.
Wood will develop custom mobile GIS applications for use in field verification of the Land Cover data.
Terramar and Wood biologists will utilize the mobile application and high-resolution GPS handheld
devices to groundtruth and verify all changes to the existing land cover dataset.The field team verification
results will be loaded into a cloud computing environment for real time analysis by GIS professional in the
office.This fluid workflow allows for a very efficient, high quality and highly precise product.

RE:Request for Proposals for the Updates of 2009 Geospatial Land Cover Dataset and °r
Tier Overlay District Maps for The Florida Keys,Monroe County,Florida
Dear Selection Committee:
The required update of the existing 2009 land cover dataset is overdue,and WGII understands
the scope of work is to update the land cover dataset using current(2021)orthophotography
and to make recommended updates to the Tier Overlay District map.We understand the scope Responsible Office
also includes technical support of the Tier Designation Review Committee(TDRC)Work Group. 2035 Vista Parkway
WGII offers the following advantages to the County, West Palm Beach,FL 33411
Having worked for over three significant years on the 2030 Comprehensive Plan update 561.687.2220
and associated revisions to the Land Development Regulations,we fully understand the
use of the tier system and the associated effect on growth management,property rights, Contact Person
and policy decision making. I was the Senior Project Manager for the 2030 update, and John Abbott, MS. PG. CEP
our proposed Project Manager,John Abbott, was the environmental technical lead. We
understand the policies because we helped write them. Director of Environmental Services
In addition to routine changes in land uses since 2009, but we also understand that 561.839.1705(direct)561.214.5034(cell)
Hurricane Irma significantly changed conditions in portions of the middle and lower Keys, John,Abbott@WGlnc,com
Some of these impacts were permanent, others are temporary as the natural habitats
recover. An important consideration in land cover mapping is to recognize that storm- Names of Key Principals
damaged areas may be habitats in transition. David S.Wantman,CEO,Chairman
t� Notonly havewe developed an innovative technical approach based on Artificial Intelligence Gregory Sauter,President
Deep Learning Programs,we have conducted pilot testing of our proposed methodology Michael Davis,Senior Vice President
using actual data from the Keys to identify changes in land use between 2006 and 2019,In
Tab 4(Project Approach),we demonstrate that our methodology works,and we are ready
to implement it with the 2021 data.
�0 WGII has a demonstrated history of success on similar large-scale geospatial projects. Specifically,we hold relevant experience and prime
contracts with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBOR),and the U.S.
Forest Service(USFS).
No firm has more geospatial capabilities and resources,coupled with data processing personnel and environmental professionals, staged
closer to Monroe County than WGII.
With nearly 700 professionals specifically WGII has the expertise and depth of resources for this contract. WGII has nearly 200 geospatial
and environmental professionals and employs some of the most talented and dedicated individuals in the mapping profession. Our highly
trained staff consists of Certified Photogrammetrists, Professional Surveyor & Mappers, Certified GIS Professionals, Professional Wetland
Scientists,Certified Environmental Professionals,Certified Arborists,Florida Fish&Wildlife Conservation Commission Registered Agents,and
other professionals.
We understand ground-truthing must be done by biologists familiar with the local flora and fauna.Our environmental team is based in South
Florida-we have eight environmental professionals locally.We have years of local experience,including but not limited to serving FDOT District
6(which includes all of Monroe County)on a five-year environmental permitting contract. Our proposed Biologist for this contract is local in
Fort Lauderdale,Amanda Montgomery, MS,PWS,WEDG is a former biologist at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and is a
Professional Wetland Scientist with extensive experience in land use mapping and wetland delineations.Whenever needed,Amanda can draw
field support from our deep pool of seven other biologists and environmental professionals in South Florida,

f0� Subconsultants can be a source of project delays and poor quality-we do not need subconsultants on this project.WGII is a full-service firm-
we are fully capable of performing the entire scope of services with our own staff and will not have to rely on subconsultants.
WGII can provide value-added services beyond the base scope of services. Although the scope of services is primarily geospatial and
environmental work,we understand the end user of the Tier Overlay District map amendments are primarily planners.WGII has a large Planning
Department based in South Florida.With numerous AICP-certified planners that conduct over$2 million in planning services annually including
Comprehensive Plans,WGII has the planning expertise to connect the dots between the technical work and the implications for policy decision
making,property rights,and long-term growth management.

Assessing Official Comments:
QUALITY:All contract deliverables were of high quality and free of errors.The vegetation classification tool performed the
analysis that was requested in the contract to the specifications agreed upon.The quality control process in place by this
contractor is very good.
SCHEDULE:Since this was largely a research-driven exercise there was some variance to the schedule as the contractor
developed the classification tool. Feedback from the government was needed at various stages of the tool's development and
this resulted in the contractor requesting two separate, no cost,contract extensions.The result of these extensions was that the
tool was eventually able to achieve the technical standards set forth in the contract at no additional cost to the government.
COST CONTROL:Contractor performed complex data analysis and product development within the stated project budget with
no cost variance.This was a considerable accomplishment given the uncertain nature of this type of research work.The
government is pleased with the considerable project management capabilities of this contractor and cost control was exceptional.
MANAGEMENT:The contractor's management team was very effective at keeping the project team on task and identifying
potential issues that could lead to scope creep or that could reduce the quality of the project deliverables.The government is
pleased at the high quality of project management provided by this contractor.
RECOMMENDATION:
Given what I know today about the contractor's ability to perform in accordance with this contract or order's most significant
requirements, I would recommend them for similar requirements in the future.
