WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Water Quality Protection Program (WQPP) Action Plan of the Florida
Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) identifies Impaired Water Quality in
Residential Canals as a component of the overall South Florida aquatic ecosystem
restoration, an Area of Critical State Concern; and
WHEREAS, in 2020, a Work Program for the Florida Keys canals was adopted by the
Florida Administration Commission, requiring tasks the County and municipalities must
complete. The County subsequently created a Canal Restoration List containing 96
canal projects to restore for $538 Million, ranging from $200,000 to $50 million per
project.; and
WHEREAS, at current funding rates, it would take 100 years to implement the 96
restoration projects in unincorporated Monroe County alone. The County and
municipalities together have canal restoration projects totaling nearly $1 Billion in
restoration costs; and
WHEREAS, resources are limited and thus many of the restoration projects exceeding
$5 Million per project may never be implemented; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this task order is to implement a series of six tasks for canal
water quality sampling, monitoring, and various evaluations and outreach; and
WHEREAS, activities include a two-year, dissolved oxygen data collection for up to 300
canals within the unincorporated county and unicipalities, provide data to make informed
1
decisions on potential reclassifying and reranking of impaired canals, and collect a
rotating series of readings in each of the 300 impaired canals; and.
WHEREAS, the project will further the initiatives of the County to improve the water
quality of the canals and ultimately the nearshore waters of the FKNMS; and
WHEREAS the budget is $410,498 with 100% funds being provided by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) South Florida Geographic Initiatives Program
Grant #SF-03D09924-0 to improve and maintain the overall water quality of the canals,
nearshore and coastal waters of the FKNMS.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, and
agreements stated herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, County and Consultant agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1.1 TERMS OF AGREEMENT:
This Task Order is retroactive to May 4, 2024, and shall expire on March 30, 2026.
ARTICLE II SCOPE OF BASIC SERVICES, PARAGRAPH 2.1.1 IS AMENDED AS
FOLLOWS:
The Consultant shall comply in all respects with the terms and conditions contained in
the EPA grant agreement SF-03D09924-0, attached as Exhibit A and incorporated by
reference.
The Consultant shall perform the following tasks:
Task 1: Canal Water Quality Sampling and Monitoring
This task consists of a two-year, Dissolved Oxygen data collection for up to 300 canals
within the unincorporated County and municipalities to provide updated results on the
seasonal conditions of the canal(s) and provide the County and municipalities with data
to make informed decisions on potential reclassifying and reranking of impaired canals.
Deliverables: An executive summary along with an updated CMMP database will be
submitted detailing the results of the proposed activities for the collection of DO data
from the over 300 impaired canals and an evaluation of the DO Criteria.
Task 2: Canal Technology Cost Reduction and Effectiveness Evaluation
The Consultant will review the canal database and ranking sheets to identify potential
canals that can be improved through the installation of a single, new, or partial
implementation of 5 technology (culvert, backfill, injection well, weed gate). FIU
recommended that the seaweed barrier is not a sufficiently robust technology to achieve
canal restoration as a stand-alone technology, however, it could in certain applications
significantly increase the effectiveness of other technologies such as culverts, as well
prevent further water quality degradation from seaweed loading.
Deliverables: Development of a technical memorandum for the remainder of the 96
ranked canals in the Canal Workplan not yet restored to provide recommendations for
2
potential revisions including the use of new, stand-alone, combination of or partial
restoration technology implementation. The narrative will improve understanding of the
conceptual design and help facilitate consensus. Proposed revised ranking sheets and
restoration table for canal implementation, including revised cost estimates, will be
provided. A Board of County Commission presentation highlighting the advantages of
the proposed approach, the estimated costs, and the potential timeline for completion.
Task 3: Canal Restoration —Geographic Grouping
The University of Miami collected water quality data in a study to evaluate the potential
source of pollution from the canals and the impacts on the nearshore waters. The results
were published in October 2021, stating that nearshore waters were impacted by canal
water quality, which helped guide prioritizing canal restoration projects. The results of
the UM study will be reviewed to determine if geographically grouping canal restoration
projects could provide greater benefit to the nearshore waters than non-grouped
projects.
Deliverables: Revised ranking sheets and restoration table for canal implementation,
listing potential groupings of canal projects.
Task 4: Injection Wells (Canal #58 and #278) - Pre and Post Water Quality
Monitoring
This task consists of field data collection of new gravity injection well projects in Canals
58 and 278 to determine the effectiveness of improving water quality and will include a
study to monitor the ultimate path of water from the wells into the FKNMS.
Characterization of the hydrogeology will be determined to characterize the interaction
rate between the well and the surrounding aquifer including offshore seeps.
Deliverables: A final technical memorandum presenting the results and effectiveness of
using injection wells for improving water quality.
Task 5: Restoring Seagrass Damage
This is a seagrass restoration planning effort that aims to restore seagrass meadows in
areas that have been damaged by abandoned and derelict vessels in the Florida Keys.
With abandoned and derelict vessels frequently grounded on seagrass meadows in the
Florida Keys, we will be able to identify, map, and develop methods for seagrass
restoration from damage caused by derelict vessels, once they are removed by County
contractors. We will use this information to create a ledger for mitigation impacts caused
by those restoration projects to help streamline the permitting process.
Deliverables: A final technical memorandum providing a ledger for mitigation credits
and methods for seagrass restoration from damage caused by derelict vessels for
improving water quality.
Task 6: Public Outreach and Education
Outreach and education will be provided to Florida Keys residents through virtual public
workshops and web-based seminars. There will be three interactive virtual public
meetings held for the upper, middle, and lower keys. To prepare for the meetings, we
3
will design interactive presentations and prepare media releases for the County to
distribute and advertise on its website and social media accounts. An engaging virtual
meeting room will be prepared, including information boards, sign-in sheets, and
comment sheets will be provided. After the meeting, the meeting minutes and comments
will be summarized in a report.
Deliverables: Development of 3 presentation/workshop programs and materials for
web-based access and to be presented at three virtual public workshops (targeted for
residents in the Upper, Middle, and Lower Keys)
Article VII, Paragraph 7.1.1 is amended to include the following:
The Consultant shall be paid Four Hundred Ten Thousand Four Hundred Ninety-Eight
Dollars and Zero cents ($410,498.00) on a lump sum basis for the services described
above.
