POINT OF CONTACT TELEPHONE NUMBER (305) 673-7080 24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost.) E Sciences was awarded a contract with the City of Miami Beach to conduct environmental engineering services. To date, E Sciences has provided the City with consulting services including the following: Street Tree Inventory: E Sciences has conducted street/park tree inventories for approximately two thirds of the City. More than 25,000 trees were inventoried using sub-meter accurate global positioning equipment. E Sciences provided the City with an ESRI ArcGIS shape file. The work included assessing each tree for its general condition and providing recommendations for maintenance. Greenspace Canopy Assessment: Using i-Tree Canopy and i-Tree Vue, E Sciences assessed the extent of the City’s urban forest canopy and the ecological services provided by the trees. E Sciences estimated the canopy coverage for the City’s entire urban forest, its parks and its rights of way using i-Tree Canopy. It also estimated the percentage of available space remaining within the City for additional tree planting. E Sciences used this information to estimate the carbon sequestration and storage, as well as pollutant removal being provided by the trees. E Sciences developed a brochure for public education documenting the information from the study. Sea Level Rise Evaluation: E Sciences conducted a study of groundwater elevations, tidal fluctuations and rainfall over a period of twelve months to assist the City with evaluating the effects of sea level rise. To identify areas of potential short and long term flooding, E Sciences created GIS layers of surface water levels from high quality LiDAR data, groundwater levels collected from designated monitoring wells, and other research conducted. The critical component of the effort was to identify areas with limited soil storage capacity and areas where sea level rise is expected to further reduce unsaturated soil storage capacity. These data were contoured to provide a spatial presentation of areas with higher vulnerability for impacts due to sea level rise. A report outlining our methodology, the results of the study in narrative, charts and graphics, and recommendations was provided at the completion of the study. E Sciences is currently assisting the City of Miami Beach with the completion of a groundwater elevation monitoring study in the Sunset Harbor neighborhood to support the design and installation of a stormwater management system. E Sciences is providing the City with training and support during installation of the equipment and data collection, data management and modeling efforts. Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans: E Sciences prepared SPCC Plans for 12 facilities located throughout Miami Beach. These facilities included pump stations, fire stations, public works yard, Miami Beach Golf Club and the Convention Center. E Sciences’ approach for developing the SPCC Plan(s) followed the steps outlined in applicable federal regulations (40 CFR 112). The Plans were reviewed and certified by an E Sciences Professional Engineer. We also incorporated provisions to assist the City with compliance with state and local regulations.
