Stakeholders and interested parties included USCOE, SJWMD, FDEP, FWC, Seminole County Parks and Recreation, and the River Keepers.

Sarah is a senior biologist with nearly 30 years of experience in the environmental field, focusing on wetland delineation and evaluation, biological and ecological assessments, permitting and permit compliance, wetland compensation, and mitigation design. She provides oversight on complex consulting projects and oversees the business development program with a focus on federal opportunities. Authority projects most relevant to the Phase 3B Regional Interconnect include.• Phase 3A Pipeline, FL: Project consisted of state and

federal permitting of an 8.5-mile water supply pipeline. The potable water pipeline allows water to flow bi-directionally and be transferred throughout the system. Permitting was required for multiple wetland crossings and horizontal directional drill under the Myakka River.

• Phase 1A Pipeline, FL: Environmental assessment of 3 pipeline routes to determine which presented the fewest environmental impacts. The project was a 12-mile water supply pipeline and included a 1-mile open trench Peace River crossing. The project required extensive permitting with federal, state, and local agencies. EarthBalance was also responsible for post-permit compliance and construction oversight of the River crossing providing protected species observations.

• Phase 1 Pipeline, FL: Oversight of environmental permitting of a water supply pipeline. The project required permitting with federal, state, and local agencies. The permit authorized the construction of a 6-mile, 24” diameter water supply pipeline to connect the Shell Creek Regional pump station.

• 42” RSTM Corridor Evaluation and Permitting, FL: Project manager responsible for review of environmental features within selected alignments; negotiation of permits and mitigation. Designed and permitted mitigation for impacts across two counties and managed the construction oversight. Soil segregation through wetlands was key to reducing the overall mitigation requirements and early sign off of restoration areas.

• Regional Reservoir Expansion, FL: Managed construction oversight for the 6-billion -gallon reservoir expansion project on the 6,000-acre RV Griffin Reserve. Work included site condition assessments, wildlife surveys, permit and ERP applications and review, agency coordination, and mitigation plan.

Oural, Katie Duty, Heather Manganiello, Richard LeBlanc, Jeff Gruber, Bill Meredith, John Plattsmier, Don Whiting, Sherri Swanson, Ray Flanagan, and Dave Dixon were all a part of the C-44 Team that showcased their familiarity with each other, their cohesiveness, and their ability to focus on the Client’s needs.

We are confident that this Team, under the leadership and experience of Terri, Mark, and Ken, will deliver a successful and mutually beneficial regional water supply project for the Authority and its Members/Customers.

Project Understanding

The Regional Integrated Loop System is the backbone to the Region’s “connected” water supplies. The Phase 3B Regional Interconnect Pipeline is an extension of the existing water transmission main that will ultimately complete a connection from the Authority’s improvements at Sarasota County’s Carlton WTP north to connect to Sarasota County’s northern system and ultimately to Manatee County’s system. It is noted in the SOQ that the Phase 3B Interconnect project may include above-ground storage, high-service pumping, chemical adjustment, point-of-delivery flow meters, and associated facilities. Identification of the required system components will be completed through preliminary design efforts and communication, coordination, and collaboration with the Authority and Member/Customer staff.

Team Communication & CollaborationTo ensure that the ultimate design, construction, and operation of this portion of the Regional Integrated Loop system meets Authority and Member/Customer expectations, communication and collaboration among the design team and the Authority and Member/Customer staff must be engaging, efficient, and productive. Concurrence on system requirements and design criteria must be reached early in the schedule so delays can be mitigated during the design phase, as well as during bidding and construction of the project. Terri will be proactive in her communication with the Authority so decisions can be made quickly.

Additionally, The HDR Team will engage in all elements of the Authority’s team, including engineering and operations and maintenance (O&M) staff, so input can be made early in the process, allowing for incorporating of ideas and needs. HDR’s collaborative approach involves permitting and construction personnel through design development to ensure the construction documents being developed are permitable and constructible.

Technical DesignThe most critical aspect of the Phase 3B Regional Interconnect Project’s success is early identification of and concurrence with the individual transmission system component’s design criteria parameters. The HDR Team proposes to facilitate and lead a series of Design Criteria Workshops where the Authority and

“We recognize we are working

successfully to develop diverse,

connected water supplies that

provide for better management of

the water resource and creates

resilience for all jurisdictions to

weather and climate patterns and

natural or man-made disasters.”

Sarasota and Manatee County staff, both management and operational, will review and evaluate the existing and future operating requirements for this regional interconnect. Once accepted, these requirements and the subsequent system components and associated design criteria will be compiled and provided to the Authority in a Basis of Design Report (BODR).

Specific technical considerations for each of the potential system components may include the following:Transmission Main

• Appropriate Size & Material • Hydraulic/Transient & Surge Analysis • Corrosion/Cathodic Protection • Open Cut Construction & Associated Dewatering Plan

• Continuity with Phase 3A Design Criteria • Water Quality Parameters through the System

• Permitting Considerations • Constructability, Operation & Maintenance

Pump Station • Pump Station Site Selection/Land Acquisition

• Hydraulic Grade • Chemical Addition Requirements to Maintain Water Quality/Metering Equipment

• Telemetry/SCADA/Instrumentation Requirements

• Electrical Requirements Including Back-up Power

• Structural Requirements • Permitting Considerations • Constructability, Operation & Maintenance

Storage Tank • Storage Tank Site Selection/Land Acquisition

• Hydraulic Grade • Telemetry/SCADA Requirements/Instrumentation Requirements

• Structural Requirements - Pile Foundation

• Permitting Considerations • Constructability, Operation & Maintenance

Following review and concurrence of the BODR, the HDR Team will develop detailed design and construction documents with traditional milestone submittals (30%, 60%, 90%, etc.) or alternate milestone submittals such as Charette Workshops or Consolidated Document Delivery to expedite the design timeline.

In addition to modifying deliverables to reduce the design schedule, HDR has additional local pipeline engineers, if needed, to create a second pipeline team. This allows for simultaneous design efforts from the North and South (“meet in the middle”) to further reduce the design timeline.

Environmental Protection & PermittingThe Phase 3B pipeline will parallel Cow Pen Slough (CPS) and cross the Pinelands Reserve, including County recreational trails and the North Borrow properties, both owned by Sarasota County. Wetlands and surface waters are expected, but their presence should be limited. Depending on the extent of impact to Waters of the US, the project will require coordination with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and could qualify for federal authorization under the USACE’s Nationwide 12 Permit (NWP-12) “Utility Line Activities,” or under a Regional General Permit SAJ-14.

The project is within the Southern Coastal Watershed ERP Basin and the regulatory review of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). Depending on wetland impacts, the project could qualify for: 1) an Exemption for Utilities under Chapter 62-330.050, FAC; 2) a General Permit for installation, maintenance, repair, and removal

of utility lines under Chapter 62-330.453, FAC; or 3) an Individual Permit under Chapter 62-330-.54, FAC, if wetland impacts exceed thresholds for 1) and 2). The Sarasota County Fox Creek Regional Offsite Mitigation Area, downstream along CPS, is available to provide wetland mitigation requirements, if applicable. Sarasota County could perform additional review and permitting, including requirements for wetland mitigation and/or monitoring, and/or regulation of sensitive upland habitats such as mesic hammock.

F e d e r a l l y and state p r o t e c t e d wildlife may utilize the area. The

project crosses within 1,000 feet of bald eagle nest (SA-035). Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) did a flyover in 2013 and the nest was deemed active; however, this pair may have multiple nests so field verification will be needed. The FWC requires adherence to USFWS Bald Eagle Management Guidelines should construction occur between 330 and 660 feet of an active eagle nest during the nesting season.

The federally threatened Eastern Indigo Snake may also utilize the area. Construction personnel must adhere to the USFWS Standard Protection Measures for the Eastern Indigo Snake (2013).

The gopher tortoise is a state threatened species and a candidate for federal listing by the USFWS. Tortoise habitat exists within the project limits and tortoise burrows are known in the area. Our Team includes Authorized Gopher Tortoise Agent,

Sherri Swanson (GTA#09-00207) with HDR. A gopher tortoise capture, relocation, and release permit will be necessary for any impacts to potentially occupied tortoise.

The sandhill crane nests in wetlands and forages in pasture areas. Should a sandhill crane nest be identified within 400 feet of the active construction zone, a qualified biologist must coordinate with the FWC to develop a management plan, which may entail construction sequencing. Nesting season occurs between January and July.

Wood stork and wading birds are also possible along this route and a historic rookery is documented nearby (615118). Care must be taken to avoid harm to them. Although these species are not expected to nest in the project area, they will likely forage in wetlands along the corridor.

Finally, the Sherman’s fox squirrel may use the area. If it is determined that an active population of the fox squirrel is present, a management plan may be necessary to ensure the

species is not harmed during construction.

Easement & Land Acquisition ServicesThe proposed route for Phase 3B begins at the connection to the existing 48” steel water transmission main and follows along the east bank of CPS to the intersection of Clark Road (SR 72). A permanent easement will be required for the installation and future maintenance of the transmission main. In addition, should the system require above-ground storage and/or a high-service pump station, additional land will be required to locate the facilities. The underlying property owners along the current route include Sarasota County and a private land owner.

HDR’s Real Estate Services group offers the Authority and its Members/Customers a full-service land acquisition team able to deliver high-quality services from alignment analysis through comprehensive “turn-key” services and construction liaison support. HDR’s staff provides a range of real estate services, including appraisal review, cost estimating, eminent domain, and title searches. Having this skill set integrated into HDR’s Team will allow the project to move forward with minimized disruptions and smoother coordination.

Constructability and Operations & Maintenance ConsiderationsHDR’s team includes professionals with experience in construction. These individuals will help the design team incorporate constructability review feedback throughout the design development process to minimize the need for change orders during construction. HDR’s team also includes construction management personnel who will add to the value of the built features through years of lessons learned and experience in overseeing construction of similar projects.

HDR’s design process also includes consideration and coordination with the Authority’s operations and maintenance staff. The design must account for the various water quality blending scenarios and consider best management and operational practices to ensure the highest quality of drinking water is delivered to the Region.

Ken Wilson Engineering and Tierra do not currently represent any Authority Members/ Customers.

LitigationHDR Engineering, Inc. was involved in a lawsuit with Tampa Bay Water (TBW) which was re-solved in October 2013. This claim pertained to the C.W. Bill Young Regional Reservoir. TBW filed suit against HDR and two contractors in 2008 for damages to the reservoir. The contrac-tors settled their claims, and a jury ruled in favor of HDR, finding the firm not liable for cracks in the soil cement lining of the reservoir. HDR has not been involved in any other litigation against the Authority, any of its four Members/Customers, nor any Florida public entity within the last five (5) years.

None of our sub-consultants (Ken Wilson Engineering, LLC; EarthBalance Corporation; Tierra, Inc.; and Hyatt Survey Services, Inc.), have been involved in any litigation against the Authority, any of its four Members/Customers, nor any Florida public entity within the last five (5) years.
