BOCC AGENDA ITEM


Item Title:SAISSA Task Order 23
Date:6/21/2017
Department:SAISS-MSBU
Background:

Task Order 23 (Benthic, BA & EFH Studies) Memorandum under the Olsen Associates, Inc. Eng. Contract CM1852-A1 proposes (a) to conduct a field study of the nature of the sediments and benthic organism composition in and adjacent to the proposed borrow area along the northeast edge of Nassau Sound; and, (b) to prepare a biological Assessment (BA) and Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Assessment required for the proposed re-nourishment project and its associated borrow area and buffer zone. 


Request:
Approve and authorize the Chairman to sign Task Order No. CM1582-TO23 in the amount of $57,4000 for Borrow Area Seabed Benthic Study and Project Biological and Essential Fish Habitat Assessments for the South Amelia Island Shore Stabilization Area. Funding Source: 43603539-531392.
Financial/Economic Impact to Future Years Budgeting Process or Effect on Citizens:

The Funds for this TO23 will come from the SAISS-MSBU Non-Ad Valorem Maintenance Assessments.  Furthermore, this Task Order will have no impact on the general citizenry of Nassau County since all funds for the Beach Project are collected from the property owners within the SAISS-MSBU specifically in support of the beach project.  No Ad Valorem Tax revenues are used for the SAISS Project.  This task order is also eligible for State Cost- Sharing.  If the TO is approved, SAISSA will subsequently request the Task Order be added to the FDEP Contract 16NA1-A1 in order to qualify for reimbursement of approximately  $22,506 (39.21% of Task Order cost).


Action Requested and Recommendation:

The SAISSA Trustees at their May 10, 2017 Meeting unanimously requested and recommended that the BOCC approve the proposed Task Order 23 (CM1852-A1) in the amount of $57,400.  

                                                                                                                        


Is this action consistent with the Nassau County Comprehensive Land Use Plan?
