EXHIBIT "A" STATEMENT OF WORK CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH CENTER ISLAND STORM DRAINAGE AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS 1.0 INTRODUCTION The City of Sunny Isles Beach (City) Flood Mitigation Project (Project) was partially funded by the 2004/2005 State Legislature General Appropriation Act funds from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) through Special Appropriation 2064A. Additional funding may be provided, pending availability of funds and budget transfer, by Fiscal Year 2005 Ad Valorem Funds collected by the South Florida Water Management District. These funds are administered through the District and dispersed and managed at the local level. The City is located within the northeast comer of Miami-Dade County and is bounded by Terracina Avenue (Town of Golden Beach) to the north, Bakers Haulover Cut (south end of Haulover Beach Park) to the south, the Intercoastal Waterway to the west and Biscayne Bay to the east. The City has developed a multi- phased Stormwater Master Plan (Plan), which was adopted by the City Council in 2000. The City recognized the need to address its stormwater challenges through the implementation of this Plan. The existing drainage system has historically consisted primarily of roadside inlets connected to outfalls located throughout the City. In some cases, the outfall structures are no longer discharging, or are undersized for tHe volume they are expected to handle. The system provides poor levels of flood protection and provides no treatment of storm runoff. There are structures in disrepair and in need of immediate replacement. The poor levels of flood protection are mainly the result of low grades and poor conveyance that impede positive drainage during a storm. This undesirable scenario potentially lends itself to short and long term flooding conditions within the City. These deficient conditions, added to the characteristics of a flood high risk area due to the proximity of the project to the Intercoastal Waterway and the Bay, justify the need for an upgraded system. 2.0 OBJECTIVE The objective of the Project is to improve the City's stormwater capabilities by providing a pOSItIve drainage system to surface waterways in the geographic area. The Project will provide for improved flood protection while maximizing water quality treatment of storm runoff prior to discharge through typical treatment methods and best cost effective available technologies to meet the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program. All improvements within the Plan will be phased and the proposed phase is described in Section 3.0 of this Statement of Work. 3.0 SCOPE OF WORK The City, under its Capital Improvement Plan, has completed the final design drawings for the Center Island Storm Drainage and Street Improvements Plan and will utilize these funds for the construction of this storm drainage mitigation project. The improvements of the storm water system will benefit numerous residents Page I, Exhibit "A", Statement of Work, OT050655 $U~
