The City Commission felt that although Gee and Jenson provide an excellent service to the City as our City Engineers, the City wanted a specialist on this project. Unfortunately, we did not make that decision until notified of the actual award in October, and due to the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act, and bi- monthly City Commission meetings, consultant selection becomes a lengthy pro- cess. The City is excited about the possibilities of this project and committed to its completion. I can promise you, FIND will be proud to have been a partner with the City when this park is completed. I would request on behalf of the City of Boynton. Beach to grant our request for a time extension for the Downtown Mangrove Park. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

PB BB - 92 - 24 Dear Mr. Roach: This letter is to request an extension of the completion date set forth in the agreement between the City of Boynton Beach and the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) for FIND project number PB- BB- 92 -24. The project is Phase One, engineering design and permitting for a mangrove nature preserve. The project status at this date is 35% complete on planning and surveying, 40% complete on permitting and 10% complete on engineering plans. I would like to emphasize that the City is committed to the completion of this project and that a considerable amount of staff time and cash was expended by the City prior to approaching FIND for assistance. Approximately $10,000 (invoices previously submitted) as well as in -kind services from the City staff has been contributed to the project. To date under the grant timetable, the City has already expended $8,500. I am enclosing the invoices and checks for the work in progress, which have been paid to date. At the time of grant submittal and award, Gee and Jensen was serving as our City Engineer. They continue in that capacity, however the City Commission felt that a separate engineering firm was needed to perform the work for this project. Therefore, the development and mailing of RFP's, interviews, contract negotiations, and final contract award took up the first quarter's (Oct. - December) work. The City hired the firm of Robert H. Miller and Associates and the work is now progressing. America's Gateway to the Guffstream Letter to David K. Roach Page Two July 29, 1993 Again, I would like to express the City's commitment to complete this project and respectfully request that the Board grant the necessary time extension.

Note that the parking lot and restroom building are being constructed entirely within existing uplands. This area is currently influenced by the tidal flow of Lake Worth. The western most portions of the site have restricted water flow. Dredging and connecting existing canals will enhance tidal flow which will increase the viability of the mangroves.

A sample draft contract that the City intends to execute with the successful firm is contained in this request for proposal for review.

The actual scope of services (Exhibit "A ") and the contract price (Exhibit "B ") will be negotiated following selection of the top firm. The scope of services will closely track this scope of work detailed in Section 2. Section 2 - Scope of Work A. Background - The City of Boynton Beach has entered into a 27 year lease with the Diocese of Palm Beach for approximately 10 acres of environmentally sensitive land consisting mainly of undeveloped mangrove ecosystem. This project is adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway (ICWW), and the ICWW and the property are connected by at least three tidal inlets along the western border of the waterway. The property is also located in the City's Downtown Central Business District, which has been the focus of recent redevelop- ment efforts. The proposed park project is anticipated to serve as a destination location to assist with increasing traffic in the downtown area. The City envisions a boardwalk area, complete with educational kiosks, picnic table areas, an observation tower and possible canoe trails. Existing upland area will be used for parking and public restroom areas. There are existing mosquito control ditches which need to be addressed to provide good tidal flushing and possible canoe trail area. The education aspect is to provide for an explanation of a mangrove ecosystems, and flora and fauna of the area. The City has received a Florida Inland Navigation District grant for this phase of the project. We are looking for a design that can provide a fun, educational experience, while preserving the environment and expounding on the natural beauty of the area. B. The Project - The City is seeking engineering, architectural, and /or planning assistance to develop the park site as described above. The project is anticipated to be broken down into three areas: 1. Planning and Surveying - The total site has been surveyed, however, additional survey work may need to be done to accomodate the boardwalk and the environmentally sensitive area. 2. Permitting - Due to the nature and location of this project, construction and environmental permitting is a concern. Preliminary meetings have been held with the Department of Environmental Regulation, Corps of Army Engineers, and Palm Beach County Environmental Resource Management. The agency personnel considered the project permittable with emphasis on utilizing existing upland for parking and restrooms and staged construction of the boardwalk to minimize mangrove impacts. 3. Design, Plans, and Specifications - It is anticipated that a future grant to assist with funding construction will be applied for to F.I.N.D. Accordingly, the record and ability of a firm to assist in preparing grant documents, bid documents, and construction/ inspection supervision will be considered as part of the selection process for those firms submitting proposals for this phase of the project. Construction costs are estimated to be approximately $300,000 to $325,000. As this is a grant funded project, all work for this phase shall be completed by September 30, 1993. Section 3 - General Information and Selection Criteria A. Proposal should be designed to portray to the City how your firms range of services can best assist with the development of this park. In order to evaluate the proposals, each proposal shall include, at a minimum, the following information: 1. Experience of the firm with similar and environmentally sen- sitive projects. 2.

Reference listing, including contact names and phone numbers 4. A list of all lawsuits in which the firm has been named as a party in the past two (2) years. B. The City will provide a panel composed of staff and Advisory Board members. Firms will be asked to make formal presentations to the panel, who will interview, evaluate, and rank the top three firms pursuant to the provisions of F.S. 287.055. These three finalists will be presented to the City Commission who may request formal presentations prior to final selection of a consultant for this project. C. Insurance - The consultant shall secure and maintain in force throughout the duration of this project comprehensive general liability insurance with a minimum coverage of $500,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 aggregate for personal injury; and $500,000 per occurrence /aggregate for property damage, and pro- fessional liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000.

Lindahl r Chairman Florida Inland Navigation District 1314 Marcinski Road Jupiter, Florida 33477 RE: Mangrove Nature Preserve Dear Chairman Lindahl: The City of Boynton Beach is requesting an extension to Phase One of our Downtown Mangrove Park Project. The City Commission felt that although Gee and Jenson provide an excellent service to the City as our City Engineers, the City wanted a specialist on this project. Unfortunately, we did not make that decision until notified of the actual award in October, and due to the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act, and bi- monthly City Commission meetings, consultant selection becomes a lengthy pro- cess. The City is excited about the possibilities of this project and committed to its completion. I can promise you, FIND will be proud to have been a partner with the City when this park is completed. I would request on behalf of the City of Boynton Beach to grant our request for a time extension for the Downtown Mangrove Park. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
