Amendment to Exhibit A.
Lignumvitae Key Submerged Land Management Area
Boat Grounding Project
Scope of Work for Phases I and II
Introduction
The Lignumvitae Key Botanical State Park and Lignumvitae Key Aquatic
Preserve cover an area that includes approximately 10,000 acres of
submerged lands known as the Lignumvitae Key Submerged Land
Management Area (LKMA). This area includes navigation channels and
shallow flats that harbor sensitive marine resources including seagrasses and
corals. This area is also an attractive and very active recreational destination
for residents and visitors engaged in water-related activities such as fishing,
boating and snorkeling. LKMA has employed several tools to manage
visitors while providing for the protection of sensitive marine resources,
especially over the past 10 years. These activities have included "no-motor
zoning," education, enforcement, resource mapping, and injury restoration.
Despite this activity, LKMA has experienced extensive damage to benthic
resources as a result of boat groundings and propeller scarring. LKMA has
tracked individual damage events, especially over the last 10 years, through
entry into a database at the park.
To assist them with future management strategies, PAT MCNEESE will
perform compilation and analysis ofthe boat grounding event information in
LKMA database accumulated through fiscal year 2003-2004. The data will
be analyzed for trends in order to determine what future management actions
might help to reduce groundings. Future management actions may include
anything from specific area marking to target audience education. Monroe
County has expressed interest in obtaining the results of such an analysis.
Boat grounding injuries are occurring throughout the Keys and Monroe
County is implementing similar management actions such as education and
channel marking. Results of the data analysis would assist the County with
planning of future management activities and provide a framework from
which to evaluate grounding incidents. Finally, there is a desire among all
marine resource agencies in the Key, including the Florida Keys National
Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) to achieve consistency and share information in
the future with respect to recording of boat grounding events. This project
will result in the analysis of past data from LKMA, the only entity with a
long-term data base and it will result in a consistent and exchangeable
format for future data sharing among the agencies.
The project to be accomplished by PAT MCNEESE consists of four phases
summarized as follows:
Phase I - Data Needs
Task 1. Examine data and coordinate with staff on the past methods and
context of entry.
Task 2. List and organize questions to be answered about the data.
Coordinate with resource agencies to obtain questions.
Task 3. Determine methods of data analysis within and outside MS Access.
Task 4. Normalize data and add necessary fields for MS Access analysis.
Phase II - MS Access Data Analysis and Reporting
Task 1. Build MS Access queries.
Task 2. Generate data and first draft report (results and discussion).
Phase III - Data Analysis Outside MS Access
Task 1. Finalize methods of data analysis outside MS Access.
Task 2. Reformat data to perform non-Access analysis.
Task 3. Generate data and incorporate into final report.
Phase IV - Future Use by Staff
Task 1. Set up instructions for consistent future data entry and query runs.
Task 2. Link data to ArcView GIS maps and set up for future entry.
Tasks to be Completed
This scope of work covers Phase I and Phase II tasks detailed below.
Phase 1. Data Needs
Task 1. Initial Data Examination
This task will involve acquisition of a complete data set from the LKMA
data base and examination of the format and content of the data. Current
and past LKMA staff who have entered data will be contacted to help clarify
any inconsistencies in past methods and format of data entry. During this
task an attempt will be also be made to identify potential strengths,
weaknesses and degree of accuracy of specific data fields. A brief summary
description of the data will be completed including such items as number of
files and entries, field names and descriptions, etc.
Deliverables: Summary description of spreadsheet data
Fee: $800.00
Task 2. Study Goals
This task will involve basically compiling a list of priority results we'd like
to generate through analysis of the data, i.e., what questions we'd like
answered. The data format and summary description will be compiled and
supplied to an interagency group including staff of Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) District 5 Parks and LKMA, FDEP Office
of Coastal and Aquatic Management Areas (CAMA), Florida Keys National
Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS), Monroe County and possibly law enforcement
agencies. Comments and study questions will be solicited from these
agencies in an organized format and then presented back in summary. A
general approach to analysis of the data will be outlined at this point.
Deliverables: Summary of agency data questions
Outline of approach to data analysis
Fee: $960.00
Task 3. MS Access Analysis
The data spreadsheet is in Microsoft Word Access (MS Access) format.
This task will involve determination of methods of data analysis within the
MS Access format. Data in MS Access can be analyzed through a query
building. Questions about the data that can be answered via query-building
format will be identified. Changes in data format that are necessary to
accommodate MS Access queries will also be identified. A summary will be
provided.
Deliverables: Summary of potential data analysis within MS Access
framework
Fee: $960.00
Task 4. Other Analysis
Some of the study goals (questions) identified in Task 2 may require further
statistical or other analysis beyond the capabilities of the MS Access
program. These will be identified along with methods of analysis, if any are
available. The appropriateness and completeness of the data for generating
results under further analysis will also be evaluated. A summary will be
provided. At this point, questions that cannot be answered due to data
limitations will be identified and recommendations will be made on what
new or changed data entry methods would be needed to answer these
questions.
Deliverables: Summary of potential data analysis outside MS Access
framework
Fee: $640.00
Task 5. Normalize Data for MS Access Analysis
This task will essentially involve completion of all necessary formatting of
the data for MS Access analysis.
Deliverables: Reformatted MS Access spreadsheet data
Fee: $1,100.00
Total Phase I: $4,460.00
Phase II - MS Access Data Analysis and Reporting
Task 6. Build MS Access Queries
This task will involve building ofMS Access queries to answer question and
generate results identified in Task 3. The result will be discrete and trend
data (including charts and graphs where appropriate) resulting from the
quenes.
Deliverables: Raw data results from MS Access queries
Fee: $1,100.00
Task 7. Generate Draft Report
This task will involve compiling the results of the MS Access queries into a
report. The report will include a history of project implementation up to this
point, a presentation of results and discussion including interpretation of
results.
Deliverables: Draft report
Fee: $2,440.00
Total Phase II = $3,540.00
Total for Phase I and Phase II Not to Exceed $8,000.00.
