CONSTRUCTION, INe., ("Contractor"), for a five year monitoring period to perform the Maintenance and Annual Reporting of the Environmental Wetland Mitigation at the Medical Examiner's Facility. That the parties hereto, for the consideration hereinafter set forth, mutually agree as follow: 1. THE CONTRACT The contract between the owner and the contractor, of which this agreement is a part, consists of the contract documents, as specified in paragraph 2. 2, THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS The contract documents consist of this agreement, the South Florida Water Management District Permit #44-00326-P, the Onsite Wetland Mitigation Area Monitoring and Maintenance Plan, see "Exhibit A", all change orders, any other amendments hereto executed by the parties hereafter, and all required insurance documentation. 3. SCOPE OF THE WORK Maintenance and monitoring of the wetland mitigation areas will begin at the Time Zero Mitigation Monitoring Report and continue for a period of five years. The Contractor (permittee) will conduct the monitoring for five years as required by the permit and maintain the mitigation area. Monitoring reports will be submitted to SFWMD and the Corps, and Monroe County Facilities Development annually. Success criteria will be measured by percent cover of wetland plants within the mitigation area over the five year monitoring period as follows: 30% cover by the end of the 1 st monitoring year 50% cover by the end of the 2nd year 80% cover by the end of the 3rd year And maintained thereafter for the duration of the monitoring period. The wetland mitigation areas will be monitored quarterly for planting success, amount of desirable wetland plant recruitment, wildlife utilization, exotic (as listed by the Exotic Pest Plant Council (EPPC) and undesirable vegetation encroachment and physiochemical conditions. In addition, the wetland mitigation area staff gauges will be read on a monthly basis. The staff gauges will be installed according to the attached permit sketches and read on a monthly basis. This data will be part of the annual monitoring reports. In addition to staff gauge readings, all field evaluations will include the review and identification of indirect indicators of hydrology. Pedestrian transects will be conducted during all quarterly site evaluations. Each annual monitoring event will include photographic documentation of existing conditions in the wetland mitigation area. The field transects, staff gauges, wildlife utilization and I photographic reference points will be monitored and maintained throughout the five year monitoring and maintenance period. The results of the annual field evaluations will assist in identifYing the progressive condition of the mitigation area and the impact of the hydrologic improvements resulting from the project. All monitoring event data will be utilized by maintenance crews as necessary to provide the most effective treatment of undesirable vegetation should invasion occur. This will ensure that the undesirable vegetation will be controlled prior to establishment and seed set. Further, the results of the annual monitoring events and the resulting treatment procedures will be included in the mitigation area monitoring reports, which will be provided to SFWMD and the Corps. Every effort will be taken to maintain zero percent coverage of exotic/nuisance plant species. Exotic plant species are those currently defined by the Florida EPPC. At no time shall the coverage of the undesirable plant species exceed two percent (2%) of the total vegetative coverage in the mitigation and preservation areas. Plants will be removed or killed in-place, depending upon which technique will result in greater protection to the wetland and produce the most desirable system-wide wetland benefit. Maintenance will be implemented as part of the long-term maintenance plan. This maintenance will help ensure that the conservation easement over the onsite mitigation and preservation areas will be maintained free from invasive exotic vegetation and nuisance plants according to the previously described criteria. 4. THE CONTRACT SUM The County shall pay to the Contractor for the faithful performance of said service a total fee of$27,500.oo.

An existing upland area adjacent to the existing wetland W-I will be scraped down to 0.7' NOVO to be tied into this existing wetland. The proposed elevation is O,S'lower than the average existing elevation in wetland W-I to enhance hydrology in this immediate wetland area. . The wetland mitigation will be initiated within 90 days after issuance of all of the necessary permits. The specific mitigation sequence for the onsite mea will consist of the removal of exotics (mainly Australian pine, Casuarina equisetifolia) within the upland area adjacent to wetland W-1. The upland will theo be scraped down from approximately 5.0' NOVO to the proposed. mangrove mitigation elevation of 0.7' NOVO. All unsuitab1c debris, exotic vegetation. and unusable excavated material will be ~ and disposed of in an approved manner. Suitable saltwater marsh vegetation will be installed following permitting agency review of the ~ wetland area. The Baseline Mitigation Area Monitoring Report will be conducted before beginning mitigation area work and will be provided to SFWMD and the Corps. Site visits will be initiated with SFWMD and Corps staff during the grading phase of the project SO that the final design parameters may be discussed in the Jield The wetland mitigation creation efforts will begin during Mmcl12004 with the removal of exotics and scraping down of the upland adjacent to wetland W- t. Following completion of the wetlaod mitigation area earthwork, an as-built survey of the area will be 8C1JC13ted and reviewed for CODSistcncy with the mitigation plan. Field evaluations will be requested from SFWMD and the Corps. Following the Jield evaluations and conJirmaaion that the wetland mitigation area is at projected elevations, die onsite mitigation L area will be planted according to the Wetland Mitigation Area Planting Plan, see attacbed plan. Maint~f1CC and monitoring of the wet1aDd mitigation areas will begin at the Tunc Zero Mitigation Monitoring Report and oootinue for a period of Jive years.
