Change Order #1 - Additional Marsh Permitting
General
During the development of the original proposal it was not anticipated that there would
be any impacts to the marsh. The only anticipated impacts were to the marsh buffers and as
such the permitting of the buffer impacts were included in our original scope and fee. Through
the design and permitting process, it has been determined that there will be impacts to the
coastal marsh which will require permitting in addition to that which was included in the
original scope of services. Below is the anticipated scope required to obtain the necessary
permits for the impacts associated with construction of boardwalks over the marsh which are
required for the project. Attached is a fee schedule to complete the work described below.
All tasks will be billed on a time and expense basis. All additional work, not specifically stated
below will be handled as additional services.
United States Coast Guard Bridge Project Questionnaire
Through development of the project with the City of Tybee it has been determined that
the project will require installation of several low boardwalks and one high boardwalk along
the trail corridor. Bridges and boardwalks across navigable waters of the U.S. require
authorization from the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). As defined by the Coast Guard for bridge
permitting purposes, navigable waters includes "internal water of the United States subject to
tidal influence." Since the proposed crossing is located over vegetated marsh with no
traditionally navigable watercourse, the project should qualify for advanced approval from
the Commandant. The CONSULTANT will prepare a USCG Bridge Project Questionnaire (BPQ)
for submittal to the USCG. If the USCG determines that advanced approval is not appropriate
and that a bridge permit will be required a separate contract amendment will be drafted to
outline the estimated costs for that application.
Coastal Marshlands Protection Committee (CMPC), Permit
The project contains tidal marshlands that are regulated under the Coastal Marshlands
Protection Act; the boardwalks will require a permit from the CMPC for construction. The
CONSULTANT will prepare a CMPC permit application, including permit drawings, for submittal
to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources-Coastal Resources Division for processing
and will provide ongoing support with the agency to obtain a permit.
The attached fee schedule does not include regulatory agency permit fees, which
currently vary from $100.00 to $1,000.00 and will be the responsibility of the Owner.
Nationwide Permit Application
This task includes the preparation of a suitable conceptual site plan and if the USACE
determines that the proposed activities require a Nationwide Permit, the CONSULTANT will
prepare a Nationwide Permit application for submittal to USACE. The application package will
include a completed Nationwide Pre-Construction Notification, brief project description,
compensatory mitigation plan, and conceptual site plan and 8.5" by 1 1" permit drawings.
The attached fee schedule does not include any compensatory mitigation costs, which
are the responsibility of the Owner,
Review Meetings
Additional meeting time has been included with this change order to facilitate
attending the Infrastructure Committee Meetings. The fee included with this change order
accounts for attendance at three, two hour meetings. Attendance at the meetings will
coincide with significant milestones in the permitting process. Attendance at additional
meetings will be handled as additional services.
