Subject: CO NSULTING SERVICES RELA TIVE TO THE VILLA GE OF KEY BISCAYNE
EM ERGENCY BEACH RENOURISHMENT- M IAMI-DADE COUNTY , FL ORIDA
Dear Mr. Williamson:
This is to submit a proposal for consulting services relative to the proposed 2023/2024 Village of
Key Biscayne Emergency Beach Renourishment Project (Project). Moffatt & Nichol (M&N}
worked with the Village of Key Biscayne (Village) and with FEMA to estimate erosion losses due
to Hurricanes Ian and Nicole. M&N assisted the Village with an assessment of the beach after the
hurricanes and assisted with securing funding from the Florida Department of Environmental
Pro tection (FDEP) for the eroded beach volume. A truck haul beach renourishment consisting of
approximately 16,400 cubic yards (cy) within the authorized template between Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FD EP) reference monuments R-101+75 and R-105+50
is proposed. Engineering design and environmental permitting tasks are required for
implementation of the Project. The following work tasks outline the design and environmental
permitting scopes of work for the proposed truck haul re nourishment event to be performed for
the Village by M&N:
EXHIBIT "A" - SCOPE OF SERVICES
Part 1- Coas~ai Permitting
Assumptions/Conditions: It is assumed that no permit modifications are required and the
co nstruction will comply with all permit conditions. It is assumed that no change in beach
access/staging location will be proposed and the contractor will secure required Right-of-Way
permits from the Village. It is assumed the following previously approved sand mines are
acceptable for this Project and that sand compliance will be verified through QA/QC during
construction.
• Ortona mines in Central Florida
V illa g e of K e y Bisca yne R e no u rishm e nt I May 22, 2023 12
• Vulcan Witherspoon Sand Plant in Moore Haven, Florida
• Garcia Mines in Lehigh Acres, Florida
The level of effort required to secure beach maintenance event authorizations with the
environmental permitting agencies may ultimately be affected by several external variables, such
as potential environmental resource impact concerns and associated agency Requests for
Additional Information (RAI), additional Endangered Species Act compliance consultation
requirements, compliance issues related to previous beach renourishment events, public
questions/comments, etc. Agency staff workload may also affect the time and level of effort
required to secure Project authorizations to proceed. Permit compliance/administration will be
provided under a separate scope of services upon confirmation of special conditions for the
proposed beach fill event.
a. Beach Fill Event Authorization Requests: M&N will prepare and submit letters requesting
emergency beach fill event authorization under Florida Department of Environmental

for the current in-situ sand on the Village's beaches to be analysed for compatibility with the
one or more of the three (3) authorized upland mined sand sources, M&N staff will collect up
to eight (8) in-situ sand samples and submit them to a qualified geotechnical laboratory for
analysis in accordance with standard regulatory agency beach sand characterization criteria.
M&N will coordinate with the geotechnical lab regarding format of reporting for the analysis.
If required, M&N will write a Project/site-specific beach compatibility opinion letter for
submittal to the permitting agencies in support of the requested additional sand source
approvals based on the in-situ sample lab results and sand characterization data provided by
the subject mines. If the regulatory agencies require collection and analysis of a greater
number of samples for any reason, the Client will be advised regarding additional scope/cost
and these will be addressed under an addendum scope of services.
c. FDEP Processing: M&N will confer with FDEP staff following submittal of the renourishment
event authorization request to advise them of the details of the Project design and to address
staff comments or RAls. This scope includes responding to one (1) comprehensive FDEP RAI

Part 3 - Construction Plans
a. Coastal Engineering Analysis: Based on the design, M&N will evaluate the Equilibrium Toe of
Fill (ETOF) and optimize the Project design to avoid impacts to nearshore ecological resources
based upon the anticipated fill volume. The FDEP requires the ETOF analysis to be performed
utilizing two (2) accepted industry methods: 1) Profile Translation and 2) Modified Dean
method. The Dean method will incorporate sand properties from both the existing beach
sand and the proposed upland sand source. The ETOF will be evaluated based upon the most
recent available seagrass edge data. The fill templates will be further refined based on the
analysis results. The methods and results of the modeling will be incorporated into a coastal
engineering report defining the ETOF for the Project area, which will be submitted to the
agencies as part of the permitting process. If additional modeling iterations are required by
the agencies, this will be addressed pursuant to an addendum scope of services.
Deliverables: ETOF Coastal Engineering Report
b. Construction Plans: M&N will complete the coastal engineering design for the Project and
prepare construction plans using the documented storm erosion volume of 16,400 cy and
with reference to summer 2023 survey data. To save costs, M&N will utilize the physical and
biological monitoring data to be collected in the summer under separate scope, so additional
surveys will not be conducted. The construction plans will be consistent with the design
authorized under the current active environmental agency permits. The construction plans
will include a construction baseline, fill template, cross-sections, staging/access and details.
The dune(s) will be designed for fill placement. No dune planting will be performed in
conjunction with this Project. The construction plans will also reference special permit
conditions, as appropriate. The construction plans will be signed and sealed by a licensed
Florida Professional Engineer for submittal.

are budgeted.
GENERAL
Bidding and Construction Administration
As the coastal permitting process is nearing completion, M&N will work with the Village to assist
with the implementation of the beach fill event. A scope of services with professional fees will be
developed once the schedule for the next nourishment project is further refined.
Schedule
The schedule for the design and permitting services is approximately six (6) months, although the
schedule is dependent on the authorization timeframes with the regulatory agencies and timing
of the contract bid/award process for the preconstruction meetings. Engineering design and
contract document preparation will proceed either ahead of or concurrently with the
construction bid process, which may be completed prior to issuance of final permits.
Professional Fees and Expenses
Professional Fees are summarized in Table 1. While we make every effort to keep our fees within
estimates quoted, additional costs may be incurred due to circumstances beyond our immediate
control, including but not limited to, rule or procedural changes, Project team or agency staff
delays, and legal actions. Expenses will be invoiced at cost and are estimated at $200.
Contract Terms
This proposal is subject to the contract terms within the "Agreement" with the Village dated October
13, 2021.
If you wish for us to provide these services, please issue a work order referencing our existing
services contract which will serve as our Authorization to Proceed. Should you have any questions
