City of Boynton Beach Living Shoreline Assessment
Dear Alannah,
GHD is pleased to present this scope of work to the City of Boynton Beach (City) for services to provide a
feasibility level assessment and recommendations for a living shoreline along three (3) city parks, Jaycee,
Intracoastal and Mangrove Parks. On February 20, 2025, the City provided a preliminary scope of work and
task order form for the subject effort under the Contract RFQ CW24-001 General Engineering Consulting
Services for Scope G—Green Infrastructure, Sustainability, and Resiliency Services.
Incorporating discussions held between the City and GHD on March 7, 2025, this proposal details the
approach, assumptions, timeline, and fee associated with this effort. We look forward to collaborating with
the City on this exciting Project aimed on enhancing the resilience and quality of the City's parks and
waterways.

4 The Power of Commitment
Background
It is understood that the coastal community of Boynton Beach, Florida is subject to severe weather such as
hurricanes, droughts, flooding etc. and experiences significant flooding in areas along the Intracoastal
Waterway. With the Resilient Florida Program Implementation Grant awarded to the City in September 2024,
the City wishes to develop and implement a living shoreline infrastructure at critical City parks to mitigate
flooding. GHD's proposed scope of work components are summarized in the below sections.
Assumptions
The following assumptions apply to this scope of services and serve to assist in the formulation of the
basis of estimate:
• This scope of work will be invoiced on a Lump Sum basis corresponding to completion of the work
items identified in the below sections.
• Key members of the Project Team will be identified during the Project Kick-off meeting and
these personnel will be included in the recurring Project communications. It is anticipated that
the Kick-off meeting will be held in a hybrid format to allow attendance from non-local team
members.
• For the reporting deliverable, GHD anticipates submitting 1 draft and 1 final version via
electronic submission. GHD anticipates a single round of review comments that will be
addressed and incorporated into a final work product.
• GHD anticipates conducting one site visit at each park. Inspections of existing infrastructure will
be conducted on a qualitative basis. Visual examination of nearshore resources will be
conducted but no detailed habitat surveying, or density mapping will be performed.
• Site-specific datasets owned or managed by the City which would assist in the Living Shoreline
assessment will be provided to GHD before proceeding with the Data Collection and Review
Task.
1 . Project Initiation and Planning
1.1 Kick-Off Meeting
• Review project objectives, timelines, and deliverables.
• Finalize the project work plan and communication protocols.
1.2 Data Collection and Review
• Collect and review existing data, including hydrodynamic studies, sediment transport analyses, and
ecological assessments.
• Gather information on historical shoreline changes, local climate patterns, and community needs.
12664011 I City of Boynton Beach Living Shoreline Assessment 2
2. Site Assessment
2.1 Field Surveys
• Conduct on-site surveys to assess current shoreline conditions, including vegetation, erosion
patterns, and water quality.
• Visually inspect each site for the presence of any nearshore resources or other conflicts that could
influence the living shoreline layout.
• Evaluate the structural integrity of any existing shoreline infrastructure (e.g., seawalls, groins).
3. Recommendations for Living Shoreline Design
3.1 Living Shoreline Design Options
• Provide high level recommendations for the living shoreline alternatives at each park, incorporating
natural elements such as marsh grasses, mangroves, oyster reefs, and coir logs.
• Evaluate the feasibility of hybrid approaches that combine natural and traditional infrastructure.
• Include considerations for aesthetic, ecological, and community benefits.
3.2 Economic Feasibility
• Conduct a cost-benefit analysis comparing living shoreline alternatives to traditional hard
infrastructure alternatives.
4. Regulatory Roadmap
• Assess potential environmental impacts of the proposed living shoreline designs, including effects
on local ecosystems, water quality, and marine life.
• Identify mitigation measures to minimize potential adverse impacts.
• Identify required environmental permits from the relevant agencies (e.g. Palm Beach County
Environmental Resource Management and Florida Department of Environmental Protection).
5. Final Report and Recommendations
5.1 Draft Report
• Prepare a draft report summarizing the study's findings, including site assessments, design
recommendations, environmental impacts, and cost-benefit analysis.
• Include recommendations for the preferred living shoreline design and an implementation plan for
each park.
5.2 Final Report
• Incorporate feedback from City into the final report.
• Deliver the final report to City.
