Page 10 of 10 FWC Contract# 11132 ATTACHMENT A SCOPE OF WORK INTRODUCTION This project will provide design, engineering, and permitting needed to construct concrete floating docks to provide 124 slips; expand the harbormaster's office and restroom/shower facility; replace the seawall; upgrade the power modules and fire suppression system; and install new gangways, walkways, lighting, and signage at the Dania Beach Municipal Marina. The Dania Beach Municipal Marina was constructed in 1984. Because the facility is primarily constructed of wood and timber components, it has reached the age-end of its useful Irfe and is beyond repair. The decking, stringers, and cleat framework on the fixed wooden docks are in poor condition. Fasteners are corroded or missing. Several floating docks are twisted, bent, or bowed and the floats are leaking or partially flooded. The utilities do not meet the SBC or local municipal building code requirements. The fire suppression system is inadequate for the number of slips and the standpipe is corroded and does not meet building code. The renovation of the municipal marina will expand the capacity of the marina and provide full amenities for transient boaters and local boaters staying overnight only. This project shall consist of three phases: Phase I — Project Design and Permitting, Phase II — Project Construction, and Phase III — Project Management. During Phase I, the City of Dania Beach (GRANTEE)shall complete the tasks in this scope of work. During Phase II and Phase III,the GRANTEE and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (COMMISSION) shall cooperate in the ongoing and continuous management of the Project for the term of the Agreement.

NEED The Dania Beach Municipal Manna was constructed in 1984. Because the facility is primarily constructed of wood and timber components, it has reached the age-end of its useful life and is beyond repair. The decking, stringers, and cleat framework on the fixed wooden docks are in poor condition. Fasteners are corroded or missing. Several floating docks are twisted, bent, or bowed and the floats are leaking or partially flooded. The utilities do not meet the SBC or local municipal building code requirements. The fire suppression system is inadequate for the number of slips and the standpipe is corroded and does not meet building code. (See attached photos.) B. OBJECTIVE The design, engineering, and permitting needed to construct concrete floating docks to provide 124 slips; expand the harbormaster's office and restroom/shower facility; replace the seawall; upgrade the power modules and fire suppression system; and install new gangways, walkways, lighting, and signage at the Dania Beach Municipal Marina. C. EXPECTED RESULTS AND BENEFITS The renovation of the municipal marina will expand the capacity of the marina from 92 slips to 124 slips. Also, the renovated marina will provide full amenities for transient boaters and local boaters staying overnight only. In addition, safety at the marina will be improved. The fire suppression system will be upgraded and added gangways will speed egress from the docks in case of an emergency. D. APPROACH The City of Dania Beach will hire a contractor to provide management services; conduct geotechnical and environmental studies; complete the architectural, mechanical, and structural engineering; and provide landscape architecture services and professional surveying for the proposed renovations. The consultant will also apply for all necessary construction permits. E. LOCATION: City of Dania Beach, Broward County, Florida Latitude: N 260 3 min. 24 sec., Longitude: W 800 6 min. 42 sec.
