SUBJECT:
Prioritizing the below seven federal appropriation requests.
Federal Appropriation Requests:
1. $1,900,000 from the FY 2008 Economic Development Initiative Account
of the Transportation and Housing Appropriations Act for development
of the Treasure Coast Education, Research and Development Park.
2. $500,000 from the General Investigations Corps of the Engineers
Account of the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill for
FY 2008 to continue the beach re-nourishment feasibility study of the
southernmost four miles of shoreline which abut Martin County, as
well as a small amount of shoreline north of the Ft. Pierce Harbor
jetty. This segment of shoreline is heavily developed and has been
designated as "critically eroded" by the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection.
3. $6,000,000 from the Formula and Bus Grants account of the FY 2008
Transportation, Treasury and Housing Appropriations Act to purchase
seven new buses as well as help construct a new intermodal facility
where the County's bus fleet can be parked and maintained. An 8-acre
site located on Selvitz Road, that is owned by the County, is being
considered for the location of the intermodal facility.
4. $3,174,000 in FY2008 Federal Airport Improvement Program
discretionary funds for the construction phase of a new parallel
runway at the St. Lucie County International Airport.
5. $4,500,000 in FY2008 Construction General Account of the Energy and
Water Development Appropriations bill for the Fort Pierce beach
project. $1 million of the requested funds will be combined with
funds provided in the FY 2006 supplemental appropriations bills to
re-nourish Fort Pierce Beach. The remaining $3.5 million will be
used to pay for half of the federal share of constructing groins
south of Fort Pierce Inlet, a federal channel. This construction is
expected to take place in 2008 and will allow for less frequent re-
nourishments of the Fort Pierce beach.
6. $49,150,000 in the FY 2008 Financial Services and General Government
Appropriations Act (General Services Administration, Real Property
Activities, Construction and Acquisition) for the construction of the
federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida. Roughly $42.5 million of
this funding will be used for the courthouse construction, $1.2
million will be used for final design work, $1.8 million will be used
for final site work, and $3.9 million will be for GSA project
management.
7. St. Lucie County supports full funding for the Everglades
Restoration Program in 2008. Furthermore, the County supports the
passing of the Water Resources Development Act in 2008.
BACKGROUND:
The County's federal Legislative delegation has requested the Board of
County Commissioners to prioritize the above seven federal
appropriations requests. The above listing represents the priority
recommended by Mr. Greg Burns of Marlowe & Company in the legislative
Page 1 of 2
funding workshop conducted on 1/11/2007. Requests for funding for these
projects must be made to have funding added to a federal agency's
budget. Additionally, it must be requested that funding be specifically
earmarked for the County's projects. Without the specific earmark, the
funds will be added to an agency's discretionary funding.
FUNDS AVAIL. : N/A
PREVIOUS ACTION: Funding requests for the Treasure Coast Research and Education Park, for
the beach re-nourishment feasibility study, for the seven new buses and
intermodal facility, for the parallel runway, for the Fort Pierce beach
restoration project, and for the Everglades were submitted in 2006.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board, as requested by the federal legislative
delegation, prioritize the above seven projects for federal funding
and authorize the County Administrator to submit the prioritization of
projects to the legislative delegation.

Authorize the approval of Budget Resolution No. 07-029 for the acceptance of a $10,000
contribution from Cargill to be used toward the development and construction of a $132,000
educational exhibit at the Oxbow Eco-Center.
The purpose of this project is to enhance the understanding of the St. Lucie River and its
estuary by both residents, visitors and students. A new exhibit will show both the natural side
of the River as well as the human footprint. Phase I is a 3-dimensional exhibit that covers two
adjacent walls of the exhibit hall immediately to the right upon entering the building. The
exhibit will provide a glimpse of the underwater world, the river's connection to the land, and
the flora and fauna that call this watershed home. Starting at the headwaters, the exhibit will
lead you through the body of the river to its estuary and show, through auditory elements,
realistic representations, text, and interactive tools, the importance of this riverine system.
Visitors will enter below an imaginary waterline where they are introduced to fish,
invertebrates, and aquatic vegetation. Above eye level, the shoreline shelf with replicated
plants and roots will create an illusion of their underwater experience. Visitors will look through
a re-created water surface at the shoreline and some of the river's terrestrial plant and animal
species. A background mural and replicated vegetation, wildlife and three-dimensional tree
will add depth to the diorama. Phase II will be free-standing and will face the diorama
described above. Here, visitors will see the human footprint on the river, with representative
homes, boats and lawns portrayed on and along the river shoreline. Through an interactive
computer, audio components, text and visuals, they will learn that everybody lives within a
watershed and has an impact on these water bodies, whether or not they can see water from
their own backyards. Finally, they will learn what they can do to lessen their own impact.
County staff worked with representatives from Cargill toward securing funding for this project.
Cargill has generously decided to make an outright $10,000 contribution to the project. A
presentation of the check will be made at the Oxbow in the near future.

Authorize the submittal of a funding application to the American Forests' Global ReLeaf Program
for $83,750 to assist in a $158,150 total project to plant 24,000 trees, ground cover and saw
palmettos in an 80-acre Bahia grass section of the Bluefield Ranch Natural Area.
The entire Bluefield Ranch Natural Area includes 3,285 acres in southwestern St. Lucie County at
the southern end of Bluefield Ranch Road (Exhibit 1). The site is located on the eastern slope of
the Orlando Ridge, a relic sand ridge originating near Orlando and ending in Martin County. This
area contains a mosaic of natural habitats including: scrub, scrubby flatwoods, baygall and prairie
hammock, mesic and wet flatwoods, wet prairie, dry prairie and depression marsh. This variety of
natural habitats supports a diverse population of wildlife and plant species, including 13 federally
listed animal species, and three federally endangered and two threatened plant species. Public
access to the site includes wildlife viewing, hiking, camping, picnicking and horseback riding.
The specific project site is approximately 80 acres in which the forest ecosystem has been
damaged by human use. Some time ago much of this land was cleared to provide pasture land,
subsequently treated with sludge and other fertilizers, planted with non-native Bahia grass and
was never reforested. Bahia grass forms a dense mat that aggressively discourages natural
reforestation, and provides a mono-typic habitat which limits wildlife habitat, refuge and forage.
Bluefield Ranch lands were purchased on July 30, 1998 with funding provided by the St. Lucie
County Environmentally Significant Lands program and the Florida Communities Trust. This
acquisition also helps to preserve and enhance one of the largest scrub islands (500 acres)
remaining along the Orlando Ridge in the Treasure Coast region and to protect diverse native
habitat for wildlife populations within a recognized wildlife corridor.
With reduction or elimination of the Bahia grass, along with introduction of seedling trees, native
grass and wildflower seed, and shrubs, this area will succeed into a healthy pine flatwoods
ecosystem and facilitate the enjoyment of this natural area for County residents and visitors.
FUNDS AVAIL. : The Global ReLeaf funds will assist in the preparation of the land and the planting of the trees. The
County will provide management oversight, native grasses and 3,000 saw palmettos. Funding for the
County's $74,400 portion of the project is in Account No. 001-3920-563000-3104 General

Erosion District Manager
SUBMITTED BY (DEPT): PUBLIC WORKS - EROSION
SUBJECT: Project Agreement 06SL4 with FDEP for a $3 million grant to undertake tasks associated with the
Southern St. Lucie County Beach Restoration Project.
BACKGROUND: During the 2006/07 budget session, the State approved $3 million to assist St. Lucie County with the
Southern St. Lucie County Beach Restoration project as a result of impacts from recent hurricane activity. St. Lucie
County is initiating an effort to develop an initial non-federal project to address the deteriorated shoreline and emergency
conditions of the South County shoreline as soon as possible with parallel development of a federal Shore Protection
Project to provide for future re-nourishment of the beaches in the project area. Several in depth meetings were held with
staff from Florida DEP and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to identify various tasks that would minimize duplication of
effort and provide for an accelerated course of action. These long-term tasks are included in the attached Work
Authorizations with Coastal Technology Corporation. W.A. #06 ($1,271,456) provides for professional services related to
design and permitting while W.A. #07 ($1,219,750) includes services for sand search and geotechnical investigations.
Another component of this grant provides for dune restoration along the Sand Dollar ShoreslDune Walk shoreline, an
area that was not completed with the original dune restoration project due to time constraints. Since this project area was
part of the originally permitted dune restoration project, FDEP has modified the permit and extended the expiration date
for this work. W.A. #05 ($40,280) with Coastal Tech is attached and will provide for daily construction observations and
quality control of the sand operations. We also request Board approval to enter into a construction contract with CKA,
utilizing our Master Agreement for pre-approved upland sand sources, with a not-to-exceed amount of $325,000. This
project is envisioned to commence in short order and take two to three weeks to complete to avoid issues with sea turtle
nesting season, which commences March 1st.
FUNDS: This FDEP Grant provides for 100% funding, no local match is required. Funds will be made available in
the following accounts:
Account No. 184211-3710-531 000-36203-($J,650,OOO); Erosion District - Southern St. Lucie County Beach.
Account No. 184211-3710-546340-36203--($350,000); Erosion District - Southern St. Lucie County Beach.
Budget Resolution No. 07-003 is also attached for Board consideration.
PREVIOUS ACTION: N/A
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Erosion District Board approve the following contracts under the auspice of
an emergency, with review and approval of the final documents by the County Attorney, and signature of said contracts by
the Chairman: 1) Project Agreement 06SL4 with FDEP for $3 million in State funds, 2) Work Authorizations #05, #06 and
#07 (Contract #04-11-642) with Coastal Technology Corporation, 3) Contract with CKA Associates, with a not-to-exceed
amount of $325,000, for dune restoration work and 4) Budget Resolution #07-003 supporting the grant.

SUBMITTED BY (DEPT): PUBLIC WORKS - EROSION 3710
SUBJECT: Award of Bid #07-001 for contractors to provide upland sand sources associated with future post-
storm emergency beach and dune restoration needs.
BACKGROUND: In an effort for the County to be in a better position to expeditiously deal with future post-
storm emergency beach and dune restoration needs, the Board approved to seek bids for the pre-selection of
viable upland sand sources and contractors. The Board also approved W.A. No.4 (C-04-11-642) with Coastal
Technology Corporation to assist the County with the bidding and selection process. On November 29,2006
the County received bids from four responsive bidders. Coastal Tech evaluated and tested each of the sand
samples for beach compatibility. Based upon Coastal Tech's analysis, and their discussions with Florida DEP
staff (see attachment), they both concluded that three of the four samples were acceptable for emergency dune
restoration. Evaluation of the costs associated with the three acceptable sand sources identified in the bid
tabulation indicates that Sunshine Land Design, Inc. costs are significantly higher to provide and place sand
than the two other approved sources. Coastal Tech visited the two remaining upland mine operations, located
at Indrio Road and 1-95, and reconfirmed the material quality and production rate. Based upon evaluation of
sand quality, production rate, and unit cost, staff concurs with the attached recommendation from Coastal Tech
to award separate contracts to CKA and Dickerson Florida, Inc.
FUNDS: Funding sources and amounts will be determined on a project-by-project basis.
PREVIOUS ACTION:
June 13, 2006: Board approval to seek invitation to bid for viable upland sand sources and contractors to serve
future post-storm emergency beach and dune restoration needs.
November 29, 2006: The County received bids from four responsive bidders.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Erosion District Board approval to award Bid #07-001 and enter into
contracts as prepared by the County with CKA and Dickerson Florida, Inc., for viable upland sand sources and
contractors to serve future post-storm emergency beach and dune restoration needs, and signature of said
contracts by the Chairman.
