Taylor Engineering (Taylor) is pleased to offer this scope of work (scope) and cost estimate to the
City of Palm Coast (City) for the above-referenced project. We developed this scope based on our
understanding of the project as follows:
This scope builds on the previously completed Phase I work completed by Taylor for the City.
The current scope covers the remaining Phases II, III, and IV as described below. The proposed work
addresses regulatory permitting activities, evaluation of previously collected data to determine optimum
dredging depths of approximately 26 miles of saltwater canal system, permitting, design, and construction
administration. The Palm Coast Saltwater Canal system was constructed prior to the existence of modern
regulatory authorities. Accordingly, no permitting history for construction or maintenance activities is
available. The scope of services will include pre-application activities with regulatory authorities to
establish permittable dredging depth, evaluation of existing data and a presentation of conclusions. The
results of these tasks will provide required information for future permitting and design tasks.
Assumptions
• Taylor does not guarantee, warranty, or otherwise ensure that the regulatory agencies will
authorize the requested permits or authorize dredging of all areas shown in the permit application.
• Taylor assumes no responsibility for all real estate and property issues associated with the project
including but not limited to potential damage to shorelines, shoreline structures, docks,
vegetation, and other items that property owners may perceive as potential or realized effects of
the dredging design.
• Dredging may be performed in conjunction with dredging in the Intracoastal Waterway (IWW)
performed by others. Dredging and dredge material placement location and methods may have to
be adjusted to coordinate with IWW dredging methods. Since the IWW dredging methods are
not known at this time, they are not included in this scope.
• This scope assumes that any proposed dredged material management area (DMMA), will be
considered to be temporary transfer sites, will not require an environmental resource survey.
Also, the scope assumes that Taylor will not provide topographic and boundary survey data for
DMMA sites. Upon selection and design of the DMMA sites, the technical specifications will
require that the contractor provide such data.
– SCOPE OF SERVICES –
Taylor will coordinate and take part in a joint pre-application meeting with FDEP, USACE, and
the City. The meeting will give the agencies a clear, understanding of the project. Similarly, the meeting
will attempt to provide the City with clear recommendations for the type, form, and content of permit
applications for the project and establish clear lines of communication for the permit application process.
Since no previous permitting history is available, the permittable dredge elevation of the canals must be
established. Taylor will present construction documents demonstrating the originally constructed
dimensions and bottom elevation of the Palm Coast Saltwater Canals with the goal of establishing the
maximum permittable maintenance dredging depth of the canals that will be advantageous to the City.
Dredging areas that are the property owners’ responsibility will be included in the application.
At least one week prior to the meeting, Taylor will provide attendees a project presentation that
summarizes the construction history of Palm Coast and outlines proposed dredging areas. The meeting
will include the presentation followed by discussion of and recommendations regarding establishing
permittable dredge depth and foreseeable permit application issues and agency recommendations for
application type, contents, and organization. We will produce written summaries of the meeting
documenting any feedback from the agencies. After review by the City’s project manager, we will
distribute the summary to all relevant parties in both state and federal lead regulatory agencies.
Different areas of the Saltwater Canal System are subject to different types of vessel traffic. For
example, canals with physical navigation restrictions (i.e. bridges) may require less water depth than
canals with unrestricted access. Accordingly, it may be appropriate that different canals be dredged to
different elevations appropriate for the vessel traffic in the canal. Taylor will evaluate the canal system to
recommend maintenance dredging elevations that are appropriate for current navigation use. This
evaluation will include:

Task 4.3 – Prepare Presentation Materials for City Council and Public
Taylor will prepare presentation materials with the results of the permitting and canal evaluations
for review by City staff. Upon receiving input, Taylor will finalize the presentation for inclusion in the
Council agenda. We will provide presentations to the City Council and the public at one Council meeting.
We will prepare a presentation outlining the pre-permitting outcome and permittable dredging depth,
recommended dredging depth, cost estimates, and other pertinent information identified during the course
of the evaluation. Additional presentations, if required, will be addressed through a change order.
SCHEDULE
We can begin work on Phase II upon receipt of your execution of this agreement. A preliminary
schedule for each task is as follows.
Taylor will develop a three-dimensional AutoCAD-based digital terrain model of the project area.
Taylor will advance the dredging design on a canal-by-canal basis. We will establish priority areas for
dredging based on existing vs. original cross-sections, use, access, cost, and other limiting factors. Taylor
will identify cuts and reaches for each canal and identify the dredge volume by cut and reach. Taylor will
apply side slopes for the preliminary dredging template which we may revise after reviewing geotechnical
data. We will develop dredging strategies, including phasing, recommendations, estimated construction
cost, and priority areas. We will submit the dredging plan view, cross-section, and total required dredging
volume by individual channel cut and basin areas dredging plans for City staff review.
Based on other similar permitting efforts, Taylor expects that the regulatory agencies will require
a buffer of at least 5 ft for vegetated natural shorelines. Canal maintenance within 20 ft of each
homeowner’s property line is the responsibility of the property owner. Using these general criteria and the
data previously collected, these buffers will be incorporated to the extent practical. Agency requirements
after review of the designs may alter these buffers.

Taylor will perform a detailed investigation of the potential DMMA sites FL-3 and FL-8 to assess
the most practical placement area for the proposed dredging method. This investigation will include
Taylor will collect aerial imagery to approximate the available space and storage capacity for each site.
We will conduct a site visit to the DMMA sites to collect field measurements, photo documentation,
comment on onsite environmental issues, identify potential pipeline corridors if applicable, and staging
areas. We will consider potential dewatering and material handling techniques to develop a volume
capacity per DMMA based on dewatering technique. Taylor will also identify potential permanent dredge
material placement locations. We will summarize advantages and disadvantages of each placement area
and identify potential regulatory issues (including resource impacts and possible mitigation). This scope
assumes that wetland identification and mitigation, archeological or geotechnical investigation, overflow
weirs and stormwater treatment will not be required for permitting and development of the placement
area.
Taylor will complete a new bathymetric survey of the 26 miles of canals if required due to significant
changes to the site conditions since the 2023 survey. The survey will be designed to efficiently cover the
areas of interest within the canal system. The result will be a survey with sufficient data density to
produce elevation contours of the canals and calculate the volume of the proposed dredge material. Taylor
will locate the shoreline, bulkheads, seawalls, riprap, limits of existing docks, and other structures within
the entire project area using existing imagery from FDOT or Labins. Taylor will prepare digital and hard
copies of the draft survey results for incorporation into the design drawings. A total of $35,314.80 is
budgeted for bathymetric surveys.
Assumptions:
• Sediment will be collected using grab samples, coring will not be required (note, FDEP may
require coring based on existing sediment elevation and project dredge depth).
• We expect FDEP to require coring if canal deepening beyond original construction depth is
proposed.
• Taylor will negotiate with FDEP to minimize the number of samples required. We have assumed
one sample per mile of canal length (26 samples total) for price estimating.
• Anticipated sediment analysis requirements are those required by FDEP per “SLERP Guidance
for Requesting Sediment Sampling for Dredge Projects”.
Taylor will provide the necessary sediment collection services and will coordinate with the
appropriate labs for chemical analysis of the proposed dredge material. A Sampling and Analysis Plan
(SAP) will be developed and approved by FDEP prior to sample collection. This SAP will define the
number of samples to be collected, sample locations, and analyses to be performed. Taylor will collect
grab samples using a petite Ponar™ or similar grab sampler and containerize the material for
transportation to the laboratory for analysis. We will perform laboratory grain-size analyses on each
sample at our geotechnical laboratory in Jacksonville. Taylor will select the most appropriate analytical
laboratory to perform chemical analysis of the proposed dredge material. Elutriate analysis is not
56
City of Palm Coast

Page 5 of 8
anticipated or included. The results of these analyses will define whether the sediments are safe for
general disposal or whether they require disposal in specific facilities.
We believe that both state and federal agencies will need to authorize the project. We expect to
develop an Environmental Resources Permit Application for review by state and federal authorities. After
the pre-application meeting, Taylor will prepare an environmental resource permit application with all
necessary forms and attachments, including digital permit-level plan, cross-sectional, and detail drawings
of the proposed maintenance dredging template and associated temporary DMMAs and other required
information. We will supply the City with an electronic copy of the application package and include
preliminary permit drawings in hard-copy and digital (AutoCAD and PDF) formats.
During development of the application, we expect to coordinate with the regulatory agency lead
permit application reviewers to minimize review-based requests for additional information. After review
by the City, Taylor will submit the package for agency review.
Task 6.3 - Requests for Additional Information (RAI) and Coordination (Not to Exceed Subtask)
After review of the permit application, the FDEP and USACE will likely respond with requests
for additional information (RAIs). Such requests typically ask for explanation or clarification of
environmental and engineering issues.
A complete response may involve extensive effort. A discussion with the reviewer is often the
best way to minimize the necessary effort. Taylor will actively coordinate with state and federal agencies’
staff during the application process. These agencies may include, but are not limited to, the FDEP,
USACE, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
(FWC), and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). We will also meet or correspond with City staff
regularly to inform them of the project progress and will request review of all draft RAI responses.
We will bill this task on a time and materials basis and keep the city closely aware of the
expenditures. A total of $36,570 is budgeted for this task. If response to RAI’s and agency coordination
require significant effort beyond this limited budget, Taylor will confer with the City and if appropriate
request a modification to the contract to expand the subtask scope of work and cost.
Previous investigation indicates that potential funding sources applicable to canal dredging are
limited. The Waterways Assistance Program (WAP) by Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) may
be applicable to the portions of the canal system that intersect with the Intracoastal Waterway. Taylor
will investigate the areas that may be eligible for WAP funding and recommend appropriate areas that
may be eligible for funding. Taylor will assist the City to prepare the application provide and
coordination with FIND.
57
City of Palm Coast

Taylor will prepare a long-term dredging management plan to reduce the overall cost of canal
maintenance. This plan will include:
Taylor will prepare final design documents and digital construction drawings for the various
project elements. As construction drawings are developed, Taylor will provide copies to the City for
review at the 60%, 90% and 100% levels. Taylor will incorporate City comments into the drawings.
Construction drawings will provide plan, cross-sectional, and detail views of the dredging areas and
pertinent details (i.e. pipeline corridor, contractor staging area, equipment and/or geotextile tube
locations, discharge area, etc.) of the DMMA(s). Design of dike and weir facilities are not anticipated and
not included this scope. We will produce construction drawings in hardcopy and digital (AutoCAD)
formats, as well as record drawings signed and sealed by a Florida Registered Professional Engineer.
Taylor will incorporate City Contract Documents and prepare Technical Specifications to
construct the project. We will also provide an opinion of probable construction costs and provide a
memorandum summarizing those costs for City review as part of the final design deliverable package.
Taylor will prepare a bid package (including contract documents, technical specifications, and bid
schedule) with estimated quantities for all bid items. To give interested bidders immediate access to the
bid package, Taylor will provide an electronic copy of the final drawings and specifications for City staff
to upload onto its FTP site or website. Taylor will provide the City with a record set of drawings and
specifications signed and sealed by a Florida Registered Professional Engineer.
Taylor will assist the City with bid advertisement. We will coordinate and attend one mandatory
pre-bid meeting with City staff and prospective bidders. In addition, we will assist the City in responding
to up to ten (10) contractors’ requests for information (RFIs) related to the technical aspects of the project.
Upon receipt of the bids, we will review technical aspects of all bid packages, prepare a bid tabulation,
rank order the bids based on contractor experience and price, and recommend a bid for award. The City
will be responsible for evaluating bonds and contractor financing. A total of $16,406.00 is budgeted for
bid assistance.
58
City of Palm Coast

Upon contractor award, we will attend a pre-construction kick off meeting with City staff and the
contractor to walk through the DMMA site(s) and discuss any outstanding questions or concerns. Taylor
will review the contractor' s pre-construction submittals. These submittals may include (among others) an
updated schedule of values, list of subcontractors, signature authority, construction schedule, submittal
register, environmental protection plan, and quality control plan.
Taylor will conduct weekly construction site visits during dredging (up to 2 days per week for 26
weeks). Taylor’s observers will ascertain whether work is progressing in general conformance with
permit conditions, project drawings, and specifications. Our visits will include observing the work and
monitoring the contractor's means, methods, and sequence. Taylor will observe project progress to verify
conformance with or note discrepancies from the project contract drawings, specifications, and
environmental permits. Following each week’s site visits, Taylor will prepare a weekly construction
observation progress report, which will become part of the project record. The report will include the
name of the observer, weather conditions, date, personnel/visitors on site, the contractor's personnel and
equipment, and daily summary of events. As part of construction administration, we will review all
payment requests and make payment recommendations to City staff. A total of $98,666.00 is budgeted for
construction phase services.
Notably, Taylor will not direct the contractor's means, methods, or sequencing of
construction. Taylor is not responsible for jobsite safety.
Taylor will also attend on-site bi-monthly project meetings to discuss project progress and
address questions pertaining to engineering, design, permitting issues, and proposed changes to the
project design; these meetings will provide a setting to address and resolve any conflicts on the project.
Expected attendees include representatives from the construction contractor, City staff and Taylor. The
progress meeting agenda will generally include review of minutes of previous meetings, work progress
since the previous meeting, definable features of work (i.e. construction schedule, submittal register,
quality control/quality assurance testing, contract quality for materials and workmanship [per ASTM
standards], pending contract modifications, changes and substitutions of materials, and other business, as
appropriate. Taylor personnel will attend each of the on-site meetings and will clarify, if required, the
design intent of various project design elements.
When the contractor requests certification that the project is substantially complete, we will visit
the project site to make our determination of the degree of completion. If we cannot certify substantial
completion, we will develop preliminary and subsequent final punch lists of items for the contractor to
complete or correct. With concurrence from the City, we will transmit this list to the contractor. Upon
completion of outlined items, we will certify the project substantially complete. We have budgeted for
one on-site meeting during this stage of the project. We will collect and review the following information
from the contractor before project closeout: (1) final waiver and release of lien from all subcontractors
and suppliers, (2) final pay application, (3) post-construction/as-built survey, (4) final contractor
certification, and (5) final contractor affidavit.
We will help the City staff coordinate permit-related submittals. Following completion of the
project, we will prepare a statement of completion and a certification in accordance with the FDEP and
USACE permit requirements, if applicable.

Memo
Re: City of Palm Coast Approximate Dredge Material Volume for Canal Dredging
Following is a summary of estimated dredge volume and dredge cost per depth of the Palm Coast
Saltwater Canal system. A precise measurement of dredge quantity cannot be calculated at this time
because the sediment surface elevation is irregular and dredging the outside 20’ of each canal are not
part of the City’s responsibility. Because of these variables, detailed dredging cuts must be designed for
each canal to accurately delineate the dredge prism and determine the volume of dredge material to be
removed. This design is included in Task 5 of the Scope of Work to be performed.
The following estimate is intended to bracket the dredge volume expected when dredging the
entire canals system to -6’ NAVD88 and -8’ NAVD88. Dredging costs can fluctuate significantly in response
to dredging demand following storm activity and the cost of diesel. This estimate is based on a dredging
cost of $40 per cubic yard (cy).
Approximate Dredge
Volume (cy) Cost Estimate
Dredge Depth Miles to be
(Feet NAVD88) Dredged Minimum Maximum Minimum Maximum
0 to -6 13 250,000 500,000 $10,000,000 $20,000,000
0 to -8 24 700,000 1,450,000 $28,000,000 $58,000,000
Task 4.2 in the Scope of Work to be performed will evaluate the canal system to determine the
optimal dredge depth. For example, there may be little benefit from dredging some of the canals to -8’ if
large vessel navigation to those canals is restricted due to bridge clearance. As such, the optimal dredge
depths may be a mix of -6’ in some canals and -8’ in other canals. Other depths may also be considered
during the evaluation.

3. Exhibit A - Fee Schedule
Background:
This is a legislative item.
In 2023, City Council requested City Staff to review the Land Development Fee Schedule
and Site Permitting and Inspection Fee Schedule.
In 2009, City Council adopted Resolution 2009-114 Land Development Fee Schedule and
the Site Permitting and Inspection Fee Schedule, and the Resolution was amended by
Resolutions 2010-108 and 2010-169. It is important to note the fees have not increased
since 2009.
Development trends for the City of Palm Coast slowed down from 2009 through 2012. A
regrowth occurred again after 2012. Growth remained at slow steady rate over the next eight
years. Then came the COVID years, and the trend again slowed from 2020 through 2021.
The City has seen another growth spurt since 2021 to present.
Since Council requested staff to review the planning fee schedule, staff studied the fees of
the surrounding area and reviewed costs, and determined the increased fees more
accurately reflect City costs and inflation. Staff proposes to keep with fees charged by
similar local governments by increasing the rates by the CPI index since 2009 of 43.4%.
Although this is a high percentage value, this is a modest increase in dollar value. Staff is
also recommending several new fees for Council’s consideration to keep with fees charged
by similar local governments as shown in the agenda item.
In addition, at Council’s request, this item includes the proposal to increase rental
registrations fees. This item also proposes to amend Resolution 2004-44 by increasing the
rental registration fee previously adopted by City Council from $5.00 to $35.00 annually for
each rental registration.
68
Both Section 2.05.01D of the Land Development Code and City Code Section 17-39(e)
provide that City Council is authorized to set these fees by resolution. The proposed
increases would not be effective until 60 days from Council’s approval.
