ATTACHMENT A
Scope of Work
1. The Recipient shall provide services and provide payment as described in this Scope of Work, to
achieve the objectives of this agreement in compliance with the following:
A. Rule 28-20.100 of the Florida Administrative Code, as amended.
2. The Recipient shall establish the following relating to assistance to both single family and multi-
family, private residential property owners in Monroe County in eliminating illegal and inadequate
On-Site Treatment and Disposal Systems (OSTDS):
A. Procedures for the selection of property owners to receive financial assistance via the
Contractor under this agreement.
B. The amount of financial assistance to be given to property owners under this agreement,
by the Contractor, in eliminating illegal and inadequate OSTDS. The assistance shall be
comparable with the level of financial assistance estimated, at the time of the
Department's acceptance of the initial report under Item 6.A below, to be realized by the
residents of the Little Venice area to be served by centralized wastewater transmission,
treatment and disposal facilities resulting from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Grant C120602-04.
3. The Recipient shall implement a properly value-based sliding scale grant assistance program,
using the County's funds, to supplement the assistance made available under the agreement to
Monroe County private property owners for eliminating illegal and inadequate OSTDS if the
County finds such additional assistance is desirable to carry out the purposes of Rule 28-20.100
of the Florida Administrative Code. Such a sliding scale grant program must emphasize
assistance to financially needy households.
4. The Recipient shall establish procedures for procurement of equipment, materials and services
relating to elimination of illegal and inadequate OSTDS and replacement with On-site Wastewater
Nutrient Removal Systems (OWNRS), the funding of which is wholly or partly provided under this
agreement. Procurement procedures shall assure that only OWNRS meeting the statutorily
required treatment levels are furnished and installed using funds made available under this
agreement. The Department recognizes the Contractor's regulatory determination in the issuance
of the construction permit and the issuance of the operating permit to ensure that the installed
OSTDS eliminates the illegal and inadequate OSTDS. Alternatively, procurement procedures
may allow for replacement of illegal and inadequate OSTDS with centralized wastewater
transmission, treatment and disposal facilities.
Procurement procedures shall not arbitrarily preclude responsible firms and companies
possessing the ability to successfully perform services related to elimination of illegal and
inadequate OSTDS and meeting other requirements pursuant to this agreement from providing
such services. In conjunction with these procedures, a standardized subagreement or work order
authorizing specific costs to be incurred by third parties and incorporating appropriate
requirements set forth in this agreement shall be developed; similarly, standardized
documentation of costs incurred or invoiced by third parties shall be developed.
14
5. As consideration for the services to be rendered under the terms of this agreement, the
Department shall authorize disbursements as described below.
A. An amount not to exceed $600,750 shall be made available as the State's share of the
eligible cost to eliminate illegal and inadequate OSTDS located on privately owned
residential properties classified as either single family or multi-family residential
properties. Eligible costs include abandonment of illegal and inadequate OSTDS;
furnishing and installing OWNRS, including any required disinfection facilities; providing
centralized wastewater transmission, treatment and disposal facilities; and required
technical services excepting those required to be performed by a governmental entity
(e.g., Florida Department of Health's permitting activities). Reimbursement for the
purchase of equipment and materials for the furnishing and installing of OWNRS on
private property is specifically authorized. Such equipment and materials may be retained
by property owners provided the equipment is to be properly operated and maintained.
The Recipient shall retain the documentation listed below for each illegal and inadequate
OSTDS eliminated using funds made available under this agreement.
i. Identification of each property location, including the individual area designated in
the County's Rate of Growth Ordinance, at which an illegal and inadequate

installed the OWNRS or that made the connection to centralized wastewater
transmission, treatment and disposal facilities; and the engineer responsible for
preparation of construction drawings and specifications.
iv. Certification by the appropriate permitting authority that the OWNRS is designed
to meet the required treatment levels was furnished, and was installed and made
operational or that the connection to centralized wastewater transmission,
treatment and disposal facilities was made.
v. Identification of the total cost of each operational OWNRS or connection to
centralized wastewater transmission, treatment and disposal facilities; the share
due under this agreement; the share of the cost paid from the County funds (if
any); and the local resident's share.
vi. Certification of no double benefits (i.e., no part of the costs invoiced for
disbursement by the Department under this agreement has been or will be
requested to be paid, reimbursed, or otherwise funded by another agency).
vii. Certification that the initial report under Item 6.A below and all quarterly reports
due under Items 6.C and 6.D below have been submitted to the Department.
viii. Certification by the owner of the property on which an OWNRS was installed that
the OWNRS will be properly operated and maintained on a continuing basis.
15
B. The Recipient shall not use State funds made available under this agreement for direct
salaries and multipliers (i.e., fringe benefits, overhead, and/or general and administrative
rates) for its employees or for any of its employees' travel expenses. No funds made
available under this agreement shall be used for contract management expenses that
may be incurred by the Recipient or Florida Department of Health.
6. The Recipient shall submit, or cause to be submitted, deliverables to the Department. The
Department shall have twenty (20) days to review and accept reports or return reports to the
Contractor or County, as appropriate, for correction. The deliverables are as follows:
