Item 12. Request from Brevard County to Utilize Dredge Material Management Area
(DMMA) BV-52 for Area Muck Dredging, Brevard County, FL,
Brevard County has approached the District to utilize DMMA BV-52 located in Palm Bay to dredge
muck from the nearby Turkey Creek basin. The site has been previously utilized by the St. Johns
River Water Management District (SJRWMD) to successfully dredge the same basin.
The County will utilize the site to dewater dredge material and haul it offsite. The District does not
have any immediate plans to utilize the DMMA for -navigation dredging and the County has offered
to conduct gopher tortoise relocation and site improvements at this site at no cost to the District. If
the Board approves this request, staff will work with our District Engineer and our Attorney to
conduct all necessary due diligence and draft a two-year lease agreement, with the possibility for a
one year extension.
(Please see back up pages 126-137)

Item 16. Additional Scope of Work and Fee Quote for Professional Services to Develop
an Alternative Truck Route Access to the Port Everglades Temporary Dredge
Material Management Area (DMMA) for Utilization During the Broward
County ICW Deepening Project, Broward County, FL.
At the request of Port Everglades, the Navigation District has been working with Taylor
Engineering to develop an alternative access road to the existing Port DMMA, On October 18,
2014, the Board reviewed and approved a Scope of Work and Fee Quote from Taylor Engineering
in the amount of $49,668,25 to develop the alternative access road.
On October 23, 2014 District staff, Port Everglades staff, FPL staff and officials with the City of
Dania Beach met to discuss the alternative road access. As a direct result of this meeting and,a
subsequent site visit, it became apparent that developing the requested alternative DMMA access
road would require additional services, specifically to develop an alternative truck access route
along NE 7ch Avenue that would not interfere with current traffic patterns.
Taylor Engineering was requested to provide a minimum scope of work and fee quote to complete
this initiative. The resultant scope is comprised largely of sub -consultant work with some oversight
by Taylor Engineering. The approval of this scope, accompanied by the previously approved scope
to construct the access road on FPL and Broward County property, should result in a viable
alternative access road that is essential to the District's use of the Port's DMMA.
(Please see back up pages 208-232)
RECOMMEND;
Taylor Engineering, for development of an alternate truck route along NE 7111
Avenue for access to the Port's DMMA site Broward County FL
