The monitoring will include four Tasks outlined in the attached SOW and estimated budget. The work is scheduled to start with the Winter 2019 survey/assessment, which is planned for April 2019. After conferring with the survey crew, it is unlikely that the survey can be completed with the delay in funding authorization. The survey crew has previous obligations that were scheduled in advance, and they anticipate limitations due to weather sea conditions during this dynamic time of year. Therefore, it may not be possible to complete the winter 2019 during April 2019. Should the survey not be possible in the limited timeframe, the peak winter survey will be deferred to 2020. The next scheduled survey is July 2019. Limiting breaks in funding authorization provide the mechanism for sustaining long-term scheduling of surveys, which ensures that surveys at Packery Channel are conducted according to schedule, Coastal surveyors with the experience needed for complicated channel and nearshore surveys are in high demand and book well in advance due to limited windows of weather/sea opportunity. Since the monitoring program began in 2004, no seasonal surveys have been missed prior to the lapse in contract authorization by the City during 2018/2019. The fee for the effort described in the attached SOW is $188,123. Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi appreciates the opportunity to continue to support the City in proactive management of Packery Channel through the continuation of the Packery Channel Monitoring Program. Since ely, ri 1 dime• a .y',. y.•---- - Vice President for Research and Innovation EXHIBIT A Page 1 of 6 Packery Channel Monitoring Program Seasonal Monitoring of Channel and Adjacent Beaches(Mustang and North Padre Island) Survey,Analysis, and Assessment Statement of Work Amendment#1, Project No. 18140A Submitted to: City of Corpus Christi Department of Engineering Services Submitted by: Deidre D. Williams Deidre.Williams@tamucc.edu The Conrad Blucher Institute for Surveying and Science Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Seasonal monitoring will be conducted at Packery Channel and annual monitoring will be conducted at the adjacent beaches along Mustang Island and North Padre Island. Surveys,analysis and assessment will be conducted at three seasonal peaks of change in the channel and one annual summer assessment will be conducted along the adjacent beaches. The proposed effort includes: 1) channel and beach surveys, 2) analysis and 3) assessment. The proposed annual summer monitoring effort will include three (3) unique surveys conducted at the peak of the summer season. Two additional abbreviated channel surveys will be conducted at the peak of the winter season and during the transitional peak spring season. Each channel survey/assessment serves a specific purpose. The peak summer seasonal survey marks the anniversary of channel completion in 2006 and documents the peak in annual net shoaling in the channel. The peak winter seasonal survey documents a time when scour dominates and sand is actively transported out of the channel into the Gulf of Mexico. The peak winter survey/assessment has been applied by City Staff to justify dredge deferment in the past. Deferral of dredging results in significant cost savings to the City. The transitional spring seasonal survey/assessment documents a historic period of rapid shoaling and the potential for depth limited navigation that has resulted in the City issuing navigation public safety warnings four(4)times since the channel was completed. City Staff selected the 2019 seasonal survey suite from a larger suite of CBI recommended surveys that have been conducted annually and seasonally since 2006. Annual assessment will include analysis of change in the channel and along the beaches. The annual assessment will provide interpretation of status for City applications to planning for dredging and beach nourishment as well as the identification of shoals with the potential for depth limited navigation. Two additional abbreviated seasonal channel surveys are proposed to document the peak winter and spring channel status in the primary area of rapid shoaling. The two surveys were abbreviated in along-channel extent in an effort to meet budget restrictions. The focus of the surveys is to document change in shoaling location, elevation and volume along the most dynamic channel segment and area of nearshore ebb shoal development. These abbreviated surveys support both the calculation of volume change along the channel segment proposed for future dredging and support the identification of peaks shoal elevation that present the potential for depth-limited navigation. All EXHIBIT A Page 2 of 6 channel surveys are conducted in the channel segment with structural damage that occurred during and after Hurricane Harvey, therefore the survey and assessment may serve a dual purpose in providing information and documentation during the structural restoration process. With appropriate advance communication from the City Staff,the surveys can be timed to support these repair activities within the seasonal limitations and pending appropriate weather and sea forecast. The 2019 monitoring effort consists of the following tasks: Winter Seasonal Survey(Task 1): • Abbreviated Extent Bathymetric Survey (1) (Multibeam sonar) -Extent: Deposition Basin from HWY 361 to and including Entrance Channel and nearshore surrounding the channel mouth. Includes nearshore region of ebb shoal development during Nov 2018 and includes the area of scour north of and adjacent to the HWY 361 Bridge. -Purpose: Identify shoal locations and potential for depth limited navigation, calculate channel volume change and potential available volume of sand for City Staff to apply to dredge and nourishment planning,track changes where the deep region of scour meets the scour protection at the HWY 361 Bridge. • Analysis and Assessment -Calculate channel volume/annual change and develop guidance briefing for application to dredge and nourishment planning by City Staff -Identify channel locations that present the potential for depth-limited navigation -Determine net change in volume for application to dredge deferment by City Staff Transitional Spring Seasonal Survey (Task 2): • Abbreviated Extent Bathymetric Survey (1)(Multibeam sonar) -Extent: Deposition Basin from HWY 361 to and including Entrance Channel and nearshore surrounding the channel mouth. Includes nearshore region of ebb shoal development during Nov 2018 and includes the area of scour north of and adjacent to the HWY 361 Bridge. -Purpose: Identify shoal locations and potential for depth-limited navigation,calculate channel volume change and potential available volume of sand for City Staff to apply to dredge and nourishment planning,track changes in the deep region of scour adjacent to the scour protection at the HWY 361 Bridge • Analysis and Assessment -Calculate channel volume/annual change and develop guidance briefing for application to dredge and nourishment planning by City Staff -Identify channel locations that present the potential for depth-limited navigation Annual Summer Seasonal Survey,Analysis and Assessment(Task 3): • Full Extent Bathymetric Survey (1) Multibeam sonar in channel and singlebeam sonar in Gulf of Mexico. -Extent: Design channel footprint from the intersection of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway(GIWW)to and including the nearshore around the mouth and nearshore in Gulf of Mexico EXHIBIT A Page 3 of 6 -Purpose: Identify shoal locations and potential for depth limited navigation. Calculate volume available for dredging and coordinate with beach nourishment need. Obligation: EIS, Department of the Army (DOA) Cooperative Agreement and Public Safety • Beach Profile Survey (1) -Extent (General): Adjacent beaches along Mustang Island and North Padre Island from north of Fish Pass to approximately 0.5 mile south of Bob Hall pier along previously occupied transects -Extent (Focused) Dense transect grid along the North Padre Island Seawall appropriate for nourishment planning -Purpose: Applied to identify areas of erosion and coordinate with channel assessment for application by City Staff to beach nourishment planning and long-term sand management • Shoreline Position Survey(1) -Extent: Mustang and North Padre Island(Fish Pass to 1 mile south of Bob Hall Pier) -Purpose: Monitor changes in beach width.Applied to guide beach nourishment planning and interim bollard location adjustment along the North Padre Island Seawall. • Analysis and Assessment -Channel: Calculate channel volume and annual change and develop guidance reporting for application to dredge and nourishment planning by City Staff -Channel: Identify potential for depth limited navigation -Beach: Document status of beach,calculate change in volume and shoreline position over annual period, and identify areas of erosion and accretion Meetings (Task 4) • Annual Briefing(1) • Committee meetings(2)Island Strategic Action Committee(ISAC)and Watershore Beach Advisory Committee(WBAC) • Beach Operations (4) Note: This proposal describes an annual monitoring effort consisting of an annual summer seasonal assessment that includes a suite of unique surveys and two abbreviated winter and spring seasonal assessments. The annual monitoring effort includes a subset of a suite of three surveys/assessments that have comprised the Packery Channel Monitoring Program(PCMP)since 2006. The PCMP has successfully supported proactive management of these valuable coastal resources by the City of Corpus Christi and previously by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Two documents were provided in 2018 to describe the scope of the full PCMP suite of surveys. These documents describe the purpose of each survey and define how the deletion of specific surveys and the subsequent assessment influence long-term planning. Both a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) and an annual proposal (Williams 2018a and Williams 2018b) were previously submitted to City of Corpus Christi Engineering Staff. The monitoring described in the full proposal has been previously approved by the City Council since 2006 and was recommended in the past by the Island Strategic Action Committee (ISAC) and the Watershore Beach and Advisory Committee (WBAC). The approval of this proposal acknowledges that the City understands the implications of reducing the level of effort and information such that decisions will be made based on one annual assessment and two abbreviated seasonal assessments. EXHIBIT A Page 4 of 6 Schedule: The abbreviated peak winter survey is scheduled between February and April due to the limited opportunity for an adequate window of appropriate sea and weather conditions. Due to delays in contract authorization, it is unlikely that it will be possible to conduct the peak winter survey by 30 Apr 2019. If it is not possible to complete the survey prior to 30 Apr 2019 then the winter survey will be deferred during 2019 and will be conducted between February and April 2020. The abbreviated spring survey is scheduled for July 2019. The annual summer seasonal survey/assessment is recommended to coincide with the peak period of shoaling in the channel, thereby providing the most effective estimate of volume available for dredging and beach nourishment planning. The annual evaluation at the end of the summer season falls immediately in advance of the time targeted for maintenance dredging and beach nourishment to begin if conducted during the winter of 2019/2020. The previous dredge and nourishment was conducted between October and March; therefore, if staff communicate planning needs it is possible that the peak summer survey can be applied as the pre-dredge survey. The survey is recommended at the end of September 2019 but may be conducted as late as October or early November if delayed by tropical storms or as directed by City Staff. All survey dates are subject to rescheduling based on forecasted conditions and actual date of contract authorization. Contract Period The recommended contract period is from 01 April 2019 to 31 May 2020 in order to accommodate the potential for the deferment of the 2019 peak winter survey to 2020.
