EXHIBIT A - SCOPE OF WORK
Broward County 100-year Flood Elevation Map and Associated Modeling
Project Request
The objective of this project is to update the Broward County 100-year Flood Elevation
Map with incorporation of future climatic conditions, including sea level rise, through the
refinement and application of the latest Broward County-wide Integrated MIKE SHE/MIKE 11
Hydrologic-Hydraulic Model (referred below as "BCModel"), and in accordance with stakeholder
input.
Background
In 1977, the Broward County Board of County Commissioners (Board) adopted a 100-
year flood elevation map in order to mitigate flood risk in developed areas through regulation
of minimum infrastructure design criteria, including base flood elevation. The map was based
on estimated runoff across existing development at the time, the anticipated expansion of the
urban area to its final bounds, historic extreme rainfall-driven flooding events and historic
groundwater and sea levels. Although some Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
flood insurance studies and flood insurance rate maps (FIRMS) had been completed for certain
municipalities by 1977, county-wide information on flood depths or appropriate design criteria
was not available until the adoption of the County map.
Since 1977, three county-wide FEMA flood insurance studies have been completed for
Broward County. Each study released, updated, and typically increased base flood elevation
requirements for buildings. County policy has required the most conservative design criteria
shown on the FEMA FIRMs, the County map, or as derived by basin-specific modeling to be
applied in the construction design of new development. In areas where the County map was
more conservative and was thus applied, property owners often realized subsequent cost savings
in avoided flooding or flood insurance premiums as FEMA base flood elevations were adjusted in
later years. In its most recent update, in 2014, FEMA revised flood hazard areas in Broward
County utilizing the BCModel. The revised flood map revealed significant changes in base flood
elevations and delineation of flood area boundaries in certain parts of the County, a combined
result of increased development and changes in hydrologic conditions since the previous update,
nearly 20-years prior. This study also revealed a substantial convergence in the flood elevations
derived from the two map-based approaches, with the County's flood elevation map no longer
predictably providing the higher, or more protective, standard. With substantial build-out
already having taken place, changes in hydrologic processes resulting from development patterns
have already been realized. As such, sea level rise and its influence on the groundwater table,
1 I RESOLUTION#2018-136
regional storage, and the discharge capacity of stormwater systems not only constitutes the most
significant influence on future flood elevations, but is expected to substantially increase flood
elevations in coastal and inland portions of the county in the coming decades. Additionally,
downscaled climate models have predicted scenarios of future rainfall and extreme events. In
order to mitigate for the increased potential for flooding with time, the County desires to update
the 100-year Flood Elevation Map to account for flood conditions predicted with changes in
climate and rising sea level to support planning, infrastructure investments, and development
requirements.
In 2016, the Board adopted the updated Unified Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast
Florida (Compact, 2015) and directed staff to apply this projection as the basis for regional sea
level rise adaptation planning. This action reflected the recognized vulnerability of both coastal
and inland areas to the impacts of rising seas, including increased coastal flooding, changes in
groundwater levels, and reduced capacity of gravity-dependent stormwater systems.
In February 2017, the Board approved a motion to Direct the Environmental Protection
and Growth Management Department (EPGMD) to create and maintain a future conditions
map series to include average wet season groundwater elevations and 100-year flood
elevations to account for predicted changes in groundwater levels due to sea level rise and
ensure the resiliency of current and future infrastructure investments.
Similar to the strategy employed in 1977, the County has again identified the need for
progressive building requirements that will deliver flood protection for the duration of the
investment, including under future climate conditions and changes in sea level. While the FEMA
FIRMS will continue to reflect flood risk under current conditions, it is expected that as these maps
are updated in ensuing years, the flood elevations will again begin to proximate those of the more
forward-looking community flood map. As such, it is fully anticipated that the Broward County
100-year Flood Elevation Map may undergo future adjustments as trends in sea level and flood
condition warrant.
This scope of work defines the data analysis, modeling and development of deliverables
necessary to update the Broward County 100-year Flood Elevation Map to account for future
climatic conditions.
12 RESOLUTION#2018-136
County Contributions
The County will provide the future conditions average wet season groundwater
elevations in a grid format, 500x500ft, with centroids representing the NAVD88 groundwater
elevation of discrete cells. The County will also provide the original updated version of the
existing BCModel as delivered by FEMA in August 2015.
The County will schedule three stakeholder meetings to introduce the community to this
project and gather information to refine the existing BCModel. Meetings will be held in the
geographic areas associated with the north, central, and south portions of the County and may
include residents, media, private sector, elected officials, subject matter experts, and other
interested stakeholders. If substantial contentious issues are identified in any of the initial open
houses, a follow up meeting would be scheduled to address revisions to initial assumptions of
process.

Task 3.7 -Attend North Stakeholder Meeting
Consultant will prepare for and attend the North Stakeholder Meeting, including
assistance with presentations as appropriate.
Task 3.8 -Attend Central Stakeholder Meeting
Consultant will prepare for and attend the Central Stakeholder Meeting, including
assistance with presentations as appropriate.
Task 3.9 -Attend South Stakeholder Meeting
Consultant will prepare for and attend the South Stakeholder Meeting, including
assistance with presentations as appropriate.
16 RESOLUTION#2018-136
Task 3.10- Meeting Summaries
Consultant will compile information from each of the three Stakeholder Meetings and
prepare a meeting summary. This will include attendance, capture of relevant
comments, and data contact.
Task 3.11 - Model Data Needs Identification
Based on the meeting summaries, input relevant to updating the existing conditions
modeling will be compiled and a prioritized listing of possible modifications developed.
It is recognized that not all stakeholder requested model updates may be feasible or
able to be addressed under the current scope of work. As such, the prioritization will
distinguish between updates recommended to be covered by the current scope, a
future scope, or that may not be appropriate given the overall goal of the model. It is
also recognized that the model is regional in nature focused on primary and secondary
infrastructures and conveyances, and requested updates related to tertiary
infrastructure or local level issues will likely not be appropriate.
Task 3.12 - Follow Up Meetings with Selected Stakeholders
Consultant will communicate with County to identify any stakeholders that may warrant
individualized meetings. This may either be "other' stakeholders identified in Task 3.3
or primary stakeholders identified through the three meetings as warranting follow up.
For the purposes of the scope of work, it is assumed that up to four such meetings will
be included.
Task 3.13 -Task Summary Memorandum
A Task Summary Memorandum will be developed summarizing the above subtasks and
provide the basis for addressing supplemental data collection and completing
acquisition of information for model updates. County's comments in the Task Summary
Memorandum, if any, will be addressed in the draft Project Summary Report (Task 13).
Task 4 Supplemental Data Collection.Based on Stakeholder Meetings
This task includes efforts to follow up and obtain various relevant data based on
contacts with stakeholders in the previous task.
Task 4.1 - Municipality Stormwater Plan and Model Acquisition
Consultant will coordinate with identified municipalities and water control districts to
obtain relevant stormwater plan and model information which may be warranted for
model update purposes.
Task 4.2 - Planned Malor Infrastructure Protects
Consultant will coordinate with local water control districts and identified municipalities
to obtain relevant plans for major water resource infrastructure projects which may be
warranted for model update purposes.
Task 4.3 -SFWMD ERPs, As-built plans, etc.
Consultant will coordinate with SFWMD and identified municipalities as needed to
obtain relevant stormwater plan and as-built plans information relevant to drainage
infrastructure that warrants inclusion in the updated model.
17 RESOLUTION#2018-136
Task 4.4- SFWMD Future Water Control Proiects
Consultant will coordinate with the SFWMD to identify significant future water control
projects which may warrant inclusion in the future conditions model.
Task 4.5 - Field Reconnaissance
Consultant will make field visits to identified drainage infrastructure and projects to
confirm conditions for model inclusion. For the purposes of the scope, this effort will
be limited to up to 3 days of staff time.
Task 4.6 - Field Survey- Structures, Cross-sections, Sediments
Consultant will coordinate with surveying Subconsultant to collect field survey data of
features identified for inclusion in the model and/or for confirmation of current
conditions of features already represented in the model as warranted. For the purpose
of the scope of work, an allowance for surveying services is assumed as specific
locations are not yet identified. The surveying may address the following types of
features:
• Measure cross-section and profiles of major and secondary canals.
• Measure and collect as-built data of major water control structures associated
with canals or primary piping systems.
• Measure and collect as-built details of bridges (span, deck, low chord, piers,
opening cross-sections, channel cross-section upstream and downstream, etc.).
• Measure and collect as-built details of major storm water ponds and outfall
structures.
• Measure and collect as-built detail of major pipe conveyance systems including
culverts and drainage inlets.
• Measure sediment with probe depth surveys in major canals.
• Measure high water marks of water bodies and/or at bridges and significant
culvert crossings.
• Provide verification of elevation data collected by previous LIDAR efforts.
• Prepare maps, cross-sections and reports as needed to accurately depict the
features being surveyed.
All field survey work will be performed in accordance with the following:
• All survey work will be prepared in accordance with the Standards of Practice for
surveying established by The Board of Professional Surveyors and Mappers
within the State of Florida.
• Data to be collected by conventional survey measurements, GPS measurements,
echo sounding and laser scanning.
• Project Horizontal control will be based on the Florida State Plane Coordinate
System, East Zone, NAD 83.
• Project Vertical control will be based on NAVD 88 Vertical Datum.
• Establish vertical control networks (benchruns) as needed to support accurate
vertical data for each site to be surveyed.
• Drawings will be delivered in AutoCAD (.dwg) file format. Raw data will be
delivered in ASCII file format. Scan data will be delivered in RCP file format
18 RESOLUTION#2018-136
Task 4.7 -Task Summary Memorandum
A Task Summary Memorandum will be developed summarizing the above subtasks and
the supplemental data collected for model updates. County's comments in the Task
Summary Memorandum, if any, will be addressed in the draft Project Summary Report
(Task 13).
Task 5 - Develop ArcGIS Tool - MODFLOW Groundwater Output to MIKE-SHE Boundary
Conditions
This task includes effort to develop a utility tool to translate groundwater MODFLOW
model output into a MIKE SHE model compatible input format.
Task 5.1 - Coordinate example datasets with County
Consultant will coordinate with County to obtain the appropriate MODFLOW model
output datasets to be used for the project.
Task 5.2 - Utility Development
Consultant will develop a utility tool to translate grid based MODFLOW model output
data into a MIKE-SHE model compatible input format. The tool will be developed as an
ArcGIS toolbox compatible with County GIS systems. For the purposes of the project it
is assumed the tool will be developed at the ArcGIS 10.5 version level.
Task 5.3 - Utility Delivery and Troubleshooting
The tool will be tested by Consultant with project data and then used for project model
input purposes. The tool will also be tested on County's system to ensure compatibility.
Task 5.4—Task Summary Memorandum
Consultant will prepare a Task Summary Memorandum documenting the tool
development process and providing instructional information for use of the tool in the
future by County. Also, will include electronic delivery of ArcGIS tool. County's
comments in the Task Summary Memorandum, if any, will be addressed in the draft
Project Summary Report (Task 13).
Task 6—Update Current Conditions MIKE SHE/ MIKE-11 Model
19 RESOLUTION 42018-136
Consultant will update the most recent version of the BCModel from the 2014 FEMA
flood insurance study to generate flood depths for selected storm scenarios. The updates will
be identified through the outcomes of previous tasks including the Task 2 - Initial Data
Collection and Review, Task 3 - Community Stakeholder Meetings, and Task 4 - Supplemental
Data Collection including Field Survey. These may include updates to drainage systems, control
structures, additional major conveyances, and channel cross sections to account for
sedimentation. The updates to the model will be validated against a historical storm event
(Hurricane Irma or other recent). The use of the model to predict flood depths shall be in
general accordance with FEMA Guidelines and Specifications (FEMA, 2017). A
description/justification of the selected model structure that will address the modeling
objectives, will be agreed to among parties before model runs/all updates.
It is noted that this task will be accomplished using the current 2017 version of MIKE
SHE / MIKE 11 and does not include updating the MIKE 11 model to its successor 1-D modeling
package, MIKE Hydro River. MIKE Hydro River was introduced as part of the 2016 release of
MIKE SHE. While the 2016 and 2017 releases of MIKE SHE contains both MIKE 11 and MIKE
Hydro River, the 2017 version is reportedly the last major release in which MIKE 11 is included
as a product. MIKE Hydro River contains several computational method changes and other
framework differences which would not facilitate a direct import. If desired for future
compatibility, the existing MIKE 11 modeling data can be ported to MIKE Hydro River under a
separate future scope of work.
Task 6.1—Add Hydraulic Detail Based on Stakeholder Input
At the commencement of this Task, Consultant will coordinate with County to prioritize
the updates identified in the initial model data needs identification, as well as updates
requested by the stakeholders. Starting with the highest priority updates and working
down the list of updates in order of decreasing priority, Consultant will incorporate the
additional detail subject to the not-to-exceed budget for this task.
Task 6.2—Reduce Model Grid Size
The current MIKE SHE model grid spacing in the BCModel is 500 feet x 500 feet.
Because this spacing does not effectively capture fine details of topography and
impervious coverage in urban areas, significant improvements in the accuracy of the 2-
D overland flow component could be realized by reducing the grid spacing. Increasing
the grid resolution will, however, increase run times. It is expected that grid spacing
smaller than 250 feet x 250 feet may result in acceptable run times, while greatly
improving the model's representation of runoff, storage, and overland flow. This task
includes an initial test run with the finer grid resolution to determine the impact on
model run times. If the test run results in acceptable run times, all components of the
2-D overland flow module will be re-parameterized using the source LiDAR data and
detailed land use/land cover mapping. Because the objective of this task is to improve
the overland flow representation, the groundwater and unsaturated zone parameters
20 RESOLUTION#2018-136
used for the 500-foot grid will be duplicated when adapting to the 250-foot or smaller
grid.
Task 6.3 —Land Use Refinement
The current SFWMD FLUCFCS based land use and most recently available aerial
photography will be compared with the land use in the current BCModel. Areas of
recent development and other land use changes will be identified. Aerial mapping and
construction drawings (where available from ERPs, etc.) will be used to update the land
use in the MIKE SHE model. Additionally, overland flow roughness coefficients will be
varied by land use throughout the model gridded area, as the current BCModel uses a
single value for this parameter throughout the domain. Note the resolution and detail
of this effort will be respective to the overall grid size of the model (i.e., localized
changes in land use coverage significantly less than the grid resolution will not be
addressed).
Task 6.4—Storage Representation
The 2017 version of MIKE SHE includes a new ponded drainage routine that will be used
in conjunction with land use dependent detention storage values to improve the
representation of storage detention and routing in portions of the model domain where
small (sub-grid scale) stormwater detention ponds or other significant storage features
are not explicitly represented in the current BCModel. This task includes development
and implementation of this routine, model-wide. Storage representation will rely solely
on the LiDAR based DEM, take-offs from plans or other source material will not be
included. Focus will be applied to flood prone areas identified by County and
municipalities as appropriate.
Task 6.5 —Hydrologic Parameterization Updates
Consultant will review the remaining MIKE SHE parameterization, including saturated
zone drain levels and time constants, paved area roughness coefficients, soils
parameters (specifically, the soil moisture retention curves), and hydraulic
conductivities of the surficial aquifer, and update as necessary. The current model
values will be retained unless sufficient justification is found for revision.
Task 6.6—Groundwater Initial Conditions
Consultant will compare the initial groundwater elevations from the 2014 BCModel
with groundwater well data (measurements) for the time period preceding the model
validation event (i.e., Hurricane Irma). The initial groundwater elevations will be
adjusted if necessary in preparation for the validation simulation.
Task 6.7—Model Validation
The existing conditions model updates will be validated by simulating a single historic
storm event (most likely Hurricane Irma or other recent storm events) and comparing
the results with observed stage and flow hydrographs. NEXRAD radar-based rainfall
data, with a 15-minute time step (previously collected in Task 2) will be formatted for
input into the MIKE SHE model. Observed tidal data, where available, will be input as
boundary conditions for the major coastal outfalls. Model inputs will be adjusted,
within reasonable ranges, in an effort to achieve best acceptable agreement between
simulated and observed flow volumes, peak flows, and peak stages at selected
measurement stations. The goodness-of-fit of peak stages and flows will be compared
21 RESOLUTION#2018-136
in a spatially varied manner as appropriate to the previous BCModel calibration (to
Hurricane Irene in 1999) to validate the improvements to the model, with the objective
of obtaining an overall goodness-of-fit that is equal or better than the previous
calibration.
Task 6.8—Current Conditions Simulations
Current conditions model simulations will be run for the 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500-
year design storm events, with distributions to be based on SWFWMD or NOAA 14.
MIKE SHE model outputs, in the form of maximum depths of overland flow, will be
compiled, mapped, and reviewed to ensure the results are reasonable and numerically
stable. The MIKE 11 peak stage profiles will also be prepared using the MIKE standard
post-processing tools and reviewed for reasonableness and stability. Any identified
model instabilities will be addressed.
Task 6.9—Compile Model Input Data into ArcGIS Geodatabase
Consultant will compile the current conditions MIKE SHE model input into an ArcGIS
10.5 geodatabase. The geodatabase will be populated with readily exportable data
using the standard MIKE Zero toolbox.
Task 6.10 -Task Summary Memorandum
The approach, parameterization, and results of the current conditions model update
will be documented in a Task Summary Memorandum and submitted to County for
review. County's comments in the Task Summary Memorandum, if any, will be
addressed in the draft Project Summary Report (Task 13).
Task 7—Develop Future Conditions MIKE SHE/MIKE 11 Model Input
Under this task, the updated BCModel input will be modified to develop a version of the
model to represent future conditions. Model inputs will be adjusted to represent projected
future sea levels, future rainfall depths, major changes in future land use, and planned major
future infrastructure improvements.
Task 7.1— Develop Future Conditions Rainfall IN Curves
The Future Conditions Rainfall Intensity Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves will be
developed in accordance with the prescribed scope. In general, the process will be that
the Future rainfall depths and IN curves (and associated simulation time steps) will be
derived according to NOAA Atlas 14 and based on the results of adjusting the best set
of downscaled data among three alternatives to be tested:
1) Statistical Downscaled Localized Constructed Analogs (LOCA)
2) Dynamically Downscaled Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies
(COAPS)
3) Dynamically Downscaled World Climate Research Program Coordinated Regional
Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX).
If it is determined that the results of the statistical analysis, determined according to
the approach suggested by SFWMD, 2016, show large bias, a probabilistic approach to
quantify potential changes to the 100-year floodplain, in response to non-stationary
22 RESOLUTION#2018-136
rainfall conditions, will be performed in conjunction with the determination of
associated risks, for example by Salas & Obeysekera, 2014.
Task 7.2— Future Sea Level Rise Scenarios
Two future sea level rise scenarios will be evaluated with the updated BCModel based
on the unified projections from the Southeast Florida Climate Compact. The basis of
the updated Future Conditions 100-year Flood Elevation Map (Task 10) will be model
results representing flood elevations under 2060-2069 conditions. Flood elevations will
also be evaluated under 2100 future conditions. In this subtask, projected sea level rise
information for the year 2100 scenario will be identified, discussed and agreed upon
between Consultant and County.
Task 7.3 —Future Groundwater Elevations from MODFLOW
County will provide future groundwater elevations (2060 and 2100) to be used as
antecedent conditions for the future conditions MIKE SHE model based on output from
recent applications of MODFLOW by the U.S. Geological Survey. This input data will
represent groundwater elevations under future sea level conditions (2060-2069) in
accordance with the Unified Sea Level Rise Projection for South Florida, and estimated
future rainfall average in accordance with the Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction
Studies (COAPS) downscaled Community Climate System Model (CCSM) global model.
Consultant will import these elevations, using the tool developed in Task 5, into a MIKE
SHE grid file for use as initial water table elevations for the surficial aquifer.
Task 7.4— Future Tidal Boundary Conditions
Surface water boundary conditions for the 1-D hydraulic model, the 2-D overland flow
model, and surficial aquifer will be developed in consultation with SFWMD and County.
Boundary conditions for projected tide and storm surge will be developed according to
the C4/C7 FPLOS studies from the SFWMD. Because the FEMA Coastal Zone A
modeling/mapping results will be integrated with the MIKE SHE / MIKE 11 model
results, it is anticipated that it will not be necessary or appropriate for the MIKE SHE
and MIKE 11 tidal boundary conditions to incorporate the effects of storm surge. Tidal
boundary conditions will be based on an astronomical tide cycle (without atmospheric
influences) adjusted upward to account for future sea level rise.
Task 7.5— Future Land Use
Future land use mapping for the 2060 to 2069 scenario will be obtained from Broward
County. For the purposes of the scope, up to 20 specific areas (each larger than
approximately 100 contiguous acres to be targeted for development or redevelopment)
that County and stakeholders will identify can be represented in the future conditions
model. The land use categories for these areas will be aggregated into the subset of
model-based (hydrologic) land use categories developed for MIKE SHE modeling
purposes. The resulting future land use polygons will be used to parameterize the two
future conditions MIKE SHE model scenarios. The approach to land-use based model
parameterization will be identical to that used to update the current conditions model,
and will account for storage and attenuation in the updated areas as appropriate. For
the purposes of this study, it is assumed that the year 2100 land use will be unchanged
from the 2060 to 2069 land use (e.g., same land use changes reflected in both model
scenarios).
23 RESOLUTION#2018-136
Task 7.6— Future Operating Protocols of Gravity-Driven Structures
In consultation with SFWMD, any expected long-term changes to operating protocols of
gravity-driven coastal structures (to adapt to future sea levels) will be incorporated into
the 1-D (MIKE 11) model input. For the purposes of this study, it is assumed that the
year 2100 operating protocols will be unchanged from those reflected in 2060 to 2069.
Task 7.7— Planned Infrastructure Improvements
Potential future modifications, including planned surface water management
infrastructure projects (e.g., the C-9 and C-11 Impoundments and C-51 reservoir) will be
discussed with the SFWMD and incorporated into the future conditions model, as
applicable, and in accordance with the approach employed by SFWMD in the Big
Cypress Basin Flood Protection Level of Service (FPLOS) Study. Up to five (5) additional
major water control/storage/conveyance projects identified by SFWMD and/or water
control districts will be incorporated. For the purposes of this study, it is assumed that
the year 2100 infrastructure improvements will be unchanged from those reflected in
2060 to 2069.
Task 7.8—Compile Model Input Data into ArGIS Geodatabases
Consultant will compile the future conditions MIKE SHE model input into an ArcGIS 10.5
geodatabase. The geodatabase will be populated with readily exportable data using the
standard MIKE Zero toolbox.
Task 7.9—Task Summary Memorandum
The approach and parameterization of the future conditions model scenarios will be
documented in a Task Summary Memorandum and submitted to County for review.
County's comments in the Task Summary Memorandum, if any, will be addressed in the
draft Project Summary Report (Task 13).
Task 8—Model Execution and Results Processing
The model inputs developed and modified in the preceding tasks will be used to
generate flood elevations for the selected future conditions scenarios. Model simulations will
be conducted for the 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and 500-year storm events for the following scenarios.
Task 8.1— Future Conditions Simulations—2060-2069
Future conditions (2060-2069) model simulations will be run for the 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-,
and 500-year design storm events. MIKE SHE model outputs, in the form of maximum
depths of overland flow, will be generated and reviewed to ensure the results are
reasonable and numerically stable. The MIKE 11 peak stage profiles will also be
prepared using the MIKE standard post-processing tools and reviewed for
reasonableness and stability. Any identified model instabilities will be addressed.
Task 8.2— Future Conditions Simulations— 2100
Future conditions (2100) model simulations will be run for the 10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, and
500-year design storm events. MIKE SHE model outputs, in the form of maximum
depths of overland flow, will be generated and reviewed to ensure the results are
reasonable and numerically stable. The MIKE 11 or MIKE Hydro River peak stage
profiles will also be prepared using the MIKE standard post-processing tools and
24 RESOLUTION#2018-136
reviewed for reasonableness and stability. Any identified model instabilities will be
addressed.
Task 8.3 — Model Results Post-Processing
Using the standard MIKE Zero toolbox, model results from the two future conditions
simulations will be exported to ArcGIS grid files and shape files. Map projections files
will be created for all feature classes.
• Maximum depth of overland flow (10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, 500-year)
• Maximum groundwater elevations in the Surficial Aquifer (10-, 25-, 50-, 100-, 500-
yea r)
Task 8.4—Compile Model Output Data into ArcGIS Geodatabases
Consultant will compile the future conditions MIKE SHE model output into an ArcGIS
10.5 geodatabase. In addition to the feature classes generated in the preceding
subtask, feature classes will be generated to represent the overland flood elevations by
adding the maximum depths over overland flow to the topographic grid elevations.
Task 8.5—Task Summary Memorandum
The results of the future conditions model scenarios will be documented in a Task
Summary Memorandum and submitted to County for review. County's comments in
the Task Summary Memorandum, if any, will be addressed in the draft Project Summary
Report (Task 13).
25 RESOLUTION#2018-136
Task 9—Develop ArcGIS Tool—Coastal Zone A Model Results Integration with MIKE SHE
The development of flood hazards in Broward County incorporates upland (riverine,
surficial) and coastal sources (storm surge including wave action). In its flood risk studies,
Broward County assumes that flooding from upland and coastal sources is statistically
independent. This task seeks to calculate the total or actual frequency flood curve at any
desired point by statistically adding flood elevations from all sources, a calculation called
combined rate of return (CRR).
Task 9.1— Extract Results from Current Coastal Storm Scenarios
Consultant will develop a tool that will read model results, perform iterative calculation
of a given flood frequency, and produce an output. Time allocated to Task 9.1 includes
preparation of MIKE-SHE and coastal datasets to meet the needs of the CRR Tool. For
example, we will convert datasets to a different format (e.g., raster, ESRI terrain, or
shapefile), clip to County's boundary, or create necessary geodatabase fields.
Task 9.2— Develop Toolbox
Consultant will develop a tool that will read model results, perform an iterative
calculation to estimate a given frequency within the range of the flood frequency curve,
and produce geospatial output for mapping.
We envision the CRR Tool operation as follows.
1. Using a template geodatabase, the CRR Tool will read coastal and upland flood
elevations at user-specified point locations. These locations may include the
center of a grid element, a cross section, or any other location specified by the
user. The CRR Tool will populate the geodatabase with the specified frequency
levels.
2. The CRR Tool will allow manual edits in case the user would like to edit flood
elevations. For example, the user may want to include the effects of waves, not
included in FEMA's stillwater elevation surfaces.
3. The CRR Tool will iteratively solve the combined rate of return equation.
4. The CRR Tool will store results in the same geodatabase.
The CRR tool will be delivered as an ArcGIS toolbox. Some tool functionality may
change during its development to improve efficiency and accommodate Broward
County's interests. Major changes to the design of the CRR Tool proposed in this scope
of work, may require an additional fee.
Task 9.3— Integrate Coastal Zone Results with Future MIKE SHE Model Results
Consultant will compute flood frequency results using the tool developed in Task 9.2.
We will create a point shapefile with locations of interest in obtaining combined rate of
return. Typically, these points will extend upstream along tidally-influenced canals. Staff
will review results and recalculate combined rates, if necessary. The task includes the
development of a geodatabase or shapefile with combined elevations that mappers can
use to delineate flood risks.
26 RESOLUTION#2018-136
Task 9.4—Task Summary Memorandum
Consultant will prepare Task Summary Memorandum documenting the tool
development process and providing instructional information for use of the tool in the
future by County, including documentation that will guide the user on how to operate
the tool and describe input and output products for future reference. Also, will include
electronic delivery of ArcGIS tool. County's comments in the Task Summary
Memorandum, if any, will be addressed in the draft Project Summary Report (Task 13).
Task 10- Develop ArcGIS Tool -Generate Future 100-year Flood Contour Map
This task will produce a utility tool that will convert MIKE SHE output flood stages into
contours suitable for County flood mapping purposes.
Task 10.1 - Develop Toolbox
Consultant will develop a work flow process to generate 100-year flood contours from
GIS based model output data. This work flow will rely on standard ArcGIS based
processes which will be compiled into an ArcGIS toolbox for delivery to County. The
tool box will be troubleshooted using project model output datasets to generate
desired results. The generalized process will be to use rasterized flood stage results
processed from the model output and DEM, then further process using contouring tools
to produce desired results in vector format. Resulting contour elevation features will
be attributed with results in both NGVD 1929 and NAVD 1988 vertical datums.
Task 10.2 - Generate Future 2060-2069 100-year Flood Contour Map
An ArcGIS map template (mxd) will generated in to facilitate depiction of the resulting
100-year flood contours in a format similar to the previous 1977 100-year flood map
used by County.
Task 10.3 -Task Summary Memorandum
Consultant will prepare a Task Summary Memorandum providing details on the
construction of the tool and providing instructions on usage, data format requirements,
etc. Also, will include electronic delivery of ArcGIS tool and map template. County's
comments in the Task Summary Memorandum, if any, will be addressed in the draft
Project Summary Report (Task 13).
Task 11-CRS Evaluation and Recommendations
This task will evaluate current Community Rating System (CRS) credits for Broward
County and applicable municipalities, and recommend categories for improvement in the
rating system based on this study. Consideration of FEMA Guidelines and Specifications shall be
made when using the results of the flood modeling as a basis to evaluate CRS improvement
measures.
Task 11.1 - Develop CRS Credit Information for Initial Stakeholder Meetings
Consultant will compile CRS data relevant to Broward County and its municipalities from
reference sources and preliminarily identify applicable sections that may be influenced
27 RESOLUTION#2018-136
by the results of this project. This will be used to develop information to be shared with
relevant stakeholders at the initial project coordination meetings.
Task 11.2 - Compile Current CRS Rating Data from County and Municipalities
Based on input from stakeholders, compile and summarize current CRS program data
from participating municipalities. Comparison of current rating credit will be
performed.
Task 11.3 - Evaluate Credit Opportunities Relevant to Flood Mapping Effort
Based on compiled data and evaluation, evaluate potential areas for additional credit
opportunity for County and applicable municipalities based on the results of this 100-
year flood map project. This will be evaluated in general County-wide and individually
specific to applicable municipalities.
Task 11.4- Prepare Potential CRS Credit Recommendations
Based on the results of the previous tasks, generate a matrix of specific potential CRS
credit recommendations. It is noted that this will focus on recommendation for County
and applicable municipalities (municipalities which are specifically identified during the
initial stakeholder process as expressing interest in receiving recommendation and that
actively engaged in a dialog regarding CRS under this effort).
Task 11.5 -Task Summary Memorandum
The results of the above referenced task will be provided in a Task Summary Memorandum
for County's review and comment. County's comments in the Task Summary Memorandum,
if any,will be addressed in the draft Project Summary Report (Task 13).
Task 12 - Presentation of Results to County and Stakeholders
This task includes effort to coordinate, attend, and disseminate information to
identified stakeholders during the course of the project.
Task 12.1 - Meetings at Milestones (assume 2)
Consultant shall coordinate with County to prepare for and attend meetings at key
project milestones to disseminate project results to interested stakeholders. For the
purposes of the scope of work, it is assumed that up to two meetings will be included.
It is assumed that Consultant shall prepare presentation materials to assist he County
with the meeting.
Task 12.2 - Meetings During Map Adoption Process (assume 2)
Consultant shall coordinate with County to prepare for and attend meetings during the
map adoption process to relevant stakeholders. For the purposes of the scope of work,
it is assumed that up to two meetings will be included. It is assumed that Consultant
shall prepare presentation materials to assist County with the meeting.
Task 12.3 -Task Summary Memorandum
A Task Summary Memorandum will be prepared capturing the results of the milestone
and map adoption meetings and documenting any relevant decisions and supporting
information. County's comments in the Task Summary Memorandum, if any, will be
addressed in the draft Project Summary Report (Task 13).
28 RESOLUTION#2018-136
Task 13-Prepare and Submit Draft Summary Report
This task includes efforts to develop a comprehensive draft report of project activities
for County review.
Task 13.1 - Prepare draft report narrative and supporting figures, tables, etc.
It is anticipated this will incorporate information form the various task summary memos
into a combined report. In general, the organization will include an introduction,
narrative sections corresponding to scope tasks, and supporting appendices. Relevant
figures and table of data will be provided. The appendices will be focused on
immediately supportive material to the report narrative. Volume reference
information and model related data will be referenced but proved as part of the
electronic deliverable (cataloged for future reference purposes).
Task 13.2 - Report QA/QC
The report will have senior review conducted by the project manager and a peer review
by a qualified individual not directly associated with the project for QA/QC purposes.

Taylor Engineering — Subconsultant for model development, utility tool development, and
report production support.
Adept Public Relations—Subconsultant for stakeholder coordination support.
Strowd Engineering — Special Subconsultant for coordination with stakeholder data sources,

Communication and Reports
The Consultant shall communicate the current project status and share pertinent
information through a status report delivered upon 50% and 100% completion of each activity,
and organize bi-weekly meetings to present updated project status and discuss technical
approach.
For major milestones of the project and major assumptions needed for project execution,
the consulting team needs to obtain formal approval from County's Project Manager to proceed.
If significant changes to the original approved plan occurs, County's Project Manager will need to
be fully involved, and re-approval obtained, if necessary.
