STANDARD FORM 330 (REV. 8/2016) PAGE 43 <br /> <br /> Indian Key Fill Bike Path/Stormwater Demonstration: This project was a first-year implementation project under the Village’s <br />Stormwater Master Plan. The project is located on a one mile long, narrow strip of land known as Indian Key Fill, which is bordered <br />by Florida Bay on the west and the Atlantic Ocean on the east. In this area, these two water bodies are Outstanding Florida <br />Waters and are part of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. <br /> <br />Indian Key fill is dissected by the Florida Keys major road artery, US 1, on either side of which was a sparsely vegetated, linear <br />bike path that was on grade with the slope from the highway. The combination of the slope and sparse vegetation allowed <br />stormwater to runoff almost unimpeded into the adjacent bay and the ocean. The goal of the project was to pre-treat stormwater <br />runoff along the one mile stretch to improve water quality and minimize pollutants discharging into Florida Bay and the Atlantic <br />Ocean. The first step in the project was to demolish the old bike path. The area was then re-graded, and a new, meandering bike <br />path with swales was constructed on both sides of US 1. The final step was to install xeriscape landscaping using native plants. <br />The result of the project was to provide water detention for the stormwater that allowed percolation and biofiltering prior to <br />discharging into the adjacent water bodies. Additional benefits include enhanced areas for native wildlife and added recreational <br />open space for residents and visitors. <br /> <br />Stormwater Land Development Regulations: E Sciences assisted Islamorada in developing land development regulations to <br />address stormwater impacts during development/redevelopment within the Village. Services included compiling data related to <br />existing stormwater systems within the Village and developing the language for the regulations. Areas covered in the regulation <br />text included the development/redevelopment process and its relation to the Village’s review process and adherence to existing <br />county, water management district and state <br />regulations. Services also included development of a <br />matrix of alternatives related to the type of designated <br />land use activities, as well as specific design criteria <br />needed for each stormwater treatment facility. <br /> <br />Water Quality Master Plan: The project included <br />several tasks, the first of which was an Assessment <br />Report that included an inventory of Village residential <br />canals, attributes and classification using the Monroe <br />County Residential Canal and Inventory report. This <br />was supplemented with Village water quality <br />monitoring data and, using this data, a <br />recommendation for suitable canals for the water <br />quality project with the funds available was provided. <br />Once a decision was made regarding the canal and <br />treatment technology, drawings were generated to <br />prepare a bid package, permit applications. <br /> <br />Contract Budget/Fees: $1,090,832 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />25.
