Conditions.
Attachment 1-A
1 of 12
Rev. 10/3/2022
4. Deliverables.
The Grantee agrees to render the services or other units of deliverables as set forth in Attachment 3, Grant Work Plan.
The services or other units of deliverables shall be delivered in accordance with the schedule and at the pricing outlined
in the Grant Work Plan. Deliverables may be comprised of activities that must be completed prior to Department
making payment on that deliverable. The Grantee agrees to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement and all attachments and exhibits incorporated by the Standard Grant Agreement.
5. Performance Measures.
The Grantee warrants that: (1) the services will be performed by qualified personnel; (2) the services will be of the
kind and quality described in the Grant Work Plan; (3) the services will be performed in a professional and
workmanlike manner in accordance with industry standards and practices; (4) the services shall not and do not
knowingly infringe upon the intellectual property rights, or any other proprietary rights, of any third party; and (5) its
employees, subcontractors, and/or subgrantees shall comply with any security and safety requirements and processes,
if provided by Department, for work done at the Project Location(s). The Department reserves the right to investigate
or inspect at any time to determine whether the services or qualifications offered by Grantee meet the Agreement
requirements. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, written acceptance of a particular deliverable
does not foreclose Department's remedies in the event deficiencies in the deliverable cannot be readily measured at
the time of delivery.
6. Acceptance of Deliverables.
a. Acceptance Process. All deliverables must be received and accepted in writing by Department's Grant Manager
before payment. The Grantee shall work diligently to correct all deficiencies in the deliverable that remain
outstanding, within a reasonable time at Grantee's expense. If Department's Grant Manager does not accept the
deliverables within 30 days of receipt, they will be deemed rejected.
b. Rejection of Deliverables. The Department reserves the right to reject deliverables, as outlined in the Grant
Work Plan, as incomplete, inadequate, or unacceptable due, in whole or in part, to Grantee's lack of satisfactory
performance under the terms of this Agreement. The Grantee's efforts to correct the rejected deliverables will
be at Grantee's sole expense. Failure to fulfill the applicable technical requirements or complete all tasks or
activities in accordance with the Grant Work Plan will result in rejection of the deliverable and the associated
invoice. Payment for the rejected deliverable will not be issued unless the rejected deliverable is made
acceptable to Department in accordance with the Agreement requirements. The Department, at its option, may
allow additional time within which Grantee may remedy the objections noted by Department. The Grantee's
failure to make adequate or acceptable deliverables after a reasonable opportunity to do so shall constitute an
event of default.
7. Financial Consequences for Nonperformance.
a. Withholding Payment. In addition to the specific consequences explained in the Grant Work Plan and/or
Special Terms and Conditions, the State of Florida (State) reserves the right to withhold payment when the
Grantee has failed to perform/comply with provisions of this Agreement. None of the financial consequences
for nonperformance in this Agreement as more fully described in the Grant Work Plan shall be considered
penalties.
b. Invoice reduction
If Grantee does not meet a deadline for any deliverable, the Department with reduce the invoice by 1% for each
day the deadline is missed, unless an extension is approved in writing by the Department.
c. Corrective Action Plan. If Grantee fails to correct all the deficiencies in a rejected deliverable within the specified
timeframe, Department may, in its sole discretion, request that a proposed Corrective Action Plan (CAP) be
submitted by Grantee to Department. The Department requests that Grantee specify the outstanding deficiencies
in the CAP. All CAPs must be able to be implemented and performed in no more than sixty (60) calendar days.
i. The Grantee shall submit a CAP within ten (10) days of the date of the written request from
Department. The CAP shall be sent to the Department's Grant Manager for review and approval.
Within ten (10) days of receipt of a CAP, Department shall notify Grantee in writing whether the
CAP proposed has been accepted. If the CAP is not accepted, Grantee shall have ten (10) days from
receipt of Department letter rejecting the proposal to submit a revised proposed CAP. Failure to
obtain Department approval of a CAP as specified above may result in Department's termination of
this Agreement for cause as authorized in this Agreement.
ii. Upon Department's notice of acceptance of a proposed CAP, Grantee shall have ten (10) days to
commence implementation of the accepted plan. Acceptance of the proposed CAP by Department
does not relieve Grantee of any of its obligations under the Agreement. In the event the CAP fails
to correct or eliminate performance deficiencies by Grantee, Department shall retain the right to
Attachment 1-A
2 of 12
Rev. 10/3/2022
require additional or further remedial steps, or to terminate this Agreement for failure to perform.
No actions approved by Department or steps taken by Grantee shall preclude Department from
subsequently asserting any deficiencies in performance. The Grantee shall continue to implement
the CAP until all deficiencies are corrected. Reports on the progress of the CAP will be made to
Department as requested by Department's Grant Manager.
iii. Failure to respond to a Department request for a CAP or failure to correct a deficiency in the
performance of the Agreement as specified by Department may result in termination of the
Agreement.
8. Payment.
a. Payment Process. Subject to the terms and conditions established by the Agreement, the pricing per deliverable
established by the Grant Work Plan, and the billing procedures established by Department, Department agrees
to pay Grantee for services rendered in accordance with Section 215.422, Florida Statutes (F.S.).
b. Taxes. The Department is exempted from payment of State sales, use taxes and Federal excise taxes. The Grantee,
however, shall not be exempted from paying any taxes that it is subject to, including State sales and use taxes, or
for payment by Grantee to suppliers for taxes on materials used to fulfill its contractual obligations with
Department. The Grantee shall not use Departments exemption number in securing such materials. The Grantee
shall be responsible and liable for the payment of all its FICA/Social Security and other taxes resulting from this
Agreement.
c. Maximum Amount of Agreement. The maximum amount of compensation under this Agreement, without an
amendment, is described in the Standard Grant Agreement. Any additional funds necessary for the completion of
this Project are the responsibility of Grantee.

e. Invoice Detail. All charges for services rendered or for reimbursement of expenses authorized by Department
pursuant to the Grant Work Plan shall be submitted to Department in sufficient detail for a proper pre -audit and
post -audit to be performed. The Grantee shall only invoice Department for deliverables that are completed in

f. Interim Payments. Interim payments may be made by Department, at its discretion, if the completion of
deliverables to date have first been accepted in writing by Departments Grant Manager.
g. Final Payment Request. A final payment request should be submitted to Department no later than sixty (60) days
following the expiration date of the Agreement to ensure the availability of funds for payment. However, all
work performed pursuant to the Grant Work Plan must be performed on or before the expiration date of the
Agreement.
h. Annual Appropriation Contingency. The State's performance and obligation to pay under this Agreement is
contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature. This Agreement is not a commitment of future
appropriations. Authorization for continuation and completion of work and any associated payments may be
rescinded, with proper notice, at the discretion of Department if the Legislature reduces or eliminates
appropriations.
i. Interest Rates. All interest rates charged under the Agreement shall be calculated on the prevailing rate used by
the State Board of Administration. To obtain the applicable interest rate, please refer to:
www.myfloridacfo.com/Division/AA/Vendors/default.htm.
j. Refund of Payments to the Department. Any balance of unobligated funds that have been advanced or paid must
be refunded to Department. Any funds paid in excess of the amount to which Grantee or subgrantee is entitled
under the terms of the Agreement must be refunded to Department. If this Agreement is funded with federal funds

share of those funds.

on the Project in accordance with Attachment 3, Grant Work Plan in their documentation for reimbursement or
match requirements.
b. Overhead/Indirect/General and Administrative Costs. If Grantee is being reimbursed for or claiming match for
multipliers, all multipliers used (i.e., fringe benefits, overhead, indirect, and/or general and administrative rates)
shall be supported by audit. If Department determines that multipliers charged by Grantee exceeded the rates
supported by audit, Grantee shall be required to reimburse such funds to Department within thirty (30) days of
written notification. Interest shall be charged on the excessive rate.
c. Contractual Costs (Subcontractors). Match or reimbursement requests for payments to subcontractors must be
substantiated by copies of invoices with backup documentation identical to that required from Grantee.
Subcontracts which involve payments for direct salaries shall clearly identify the personnel involved, salary rate
per hour, and hours spent on the Project. All eligible multipliers used (i.e., fringe benefits, overhead, indirect,
and/or general and administrative rates) shall be supported by audit. If Department determines that multipliers
charged by any subcontractor exceeded the rates supported by audit, Grantee shall be required to reimburse such
funds to Department within thirty (30) days of written notification. Interest shall be charged on the excessive
rate. Nonconsumable and/or nonexpendable personal property or equipment costing $5,000 or more purchased
for the Project under a subcontract is subject to the requirements set forth in Chapters 273 and/or 274, F.S., and
Chapter 691-72, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) and/or Chapter 691-73, F.A.C., as applicable. The Grantee
shall be responsible for maintaining appropriate property records for any subcontracts that include the purchase
of equipment as part of the delivery of services. The Grantee shall comply with this requirement and ensure its
subcontracts issued under this Agreement, if any, impose this requirement, in writing, on its subcontractors.
i. For fixed-price (vendor) subcontracts, the following provisions shall apply: The Grantee may
award, on a competitive basis, fixed-price subcontracts to consultants/contractors in performing the
work described in Attachment 3, Grant Work Plan. Invoices submitted to Department for fixed-
price subcontracted activities shall be supported with a copy of the subcontractor's invoice and a
copy of the tabulation form for the competitive procurement process (e.g., Invitation to Bid, Request
for Proposals, or other similar competitive procurement document) resulting in the fixed-price
subcontract. The Grantee may request approval from Department to award a fixed-price subcontract
resulting from procurement methods other than those identified above. In this instance, Grantee shall
request the advance written approval from Department's Grant Manager of the fixed price
negotiated by Grantee. The letter of request shall be supported by a detailed budget and Scope of
Services to be performed by the subcontractor. Upon receipt of Department Grant Manager's
approval of the fixed-price amount, Grantee may proceed in finalizing the fixed-price subcontract.
ii. If the procurement is subject to the Consultant's Competitive Negotiation Act under section
287.055, F.S. or the Brooks Act, Grantee must provide documentation clearly evidencing it has
complied with the statutory or federal requirements.
d. Travel. All requests for match or reimbursement of travel expenses shall be in accordance with Section 112.061,
F.S.
e. Direct Purchase Equipment. For the purposes of this Agreement, Equipment is defined as capital outlay costing
$5,000 or more. Match or reimbursement for Grantee's direct purchase of equipment is subject to specific

phone expenses, reproduction, or mailing, are reimbursable or available for match or reimbursement under the
terms of this Agreement, the documentation supporting these expenses must be itemized and include copies of
receipts or invoices. Additionally, independent of Grantee's contract obligations to its subcontractor, Department
shall not reimburse any of the following types of charges: cell phone usage; attorney's fees or court costs; civil
or administrative penalties; or handling fees, such as set percent overages associated with purchasing supplies or
equipment.

agreements; and/or obtaining record title ownership of real property through purchase) must be supported by the

Rev. 10/3/2022
Descriptions, Boundary Maps, Acreage Certification, Title Search Reports, Title Insurance, Closing
Statements/Documents, Deeds, Leases, Easements, License Agreements, or other legal instrument documenting
acquired property interest and/or rights. If land acquisition costs are used to meet match requirements, Grantee
agrees that those funds shall not be used as match for any other Agreement supported by State or Federal funds.
10. Status Reports.
The Grantee shall submit status reports quarterly, unless otherwise specified in the Attachments, on Exhibit A,
Progress Report Form, to Department's Grant Manager describing the work performed during the reporting
period, problems encountered, problem resolutions, scheduled updates, and proposed work for the next reporting

under this Agreement up to the maximum percentage described in Attachment 2, Special Terms and Conditions.
Retainage may be withheld from each payment to Grantee pending satisfactory completion of work and approval
of all deliverables.
b. If Grantee fails to perform the requested work, or fails to perform the work in a satisfactory manner, Grantee shall
forfeit its right to payment of the retainage associated with the work. Failure to perform includes, but is not
limited to, failure to submit the required deliverables or failure to provide adequate documentation that the work
was actually performed. The Department shall provide written notification to Grantee of the failure to perform
that shall result in retainage forfeiture. If the Grantee does not correct the failure to perform within the timeframe
stated in Department's notice, the retainage will be forfeited to Department.
c. No retainage shall be released or paid for incomplete work while this Agreement is suspended.
d. Except as otherwise provided above, Grantee shall be paid the retainage associated with the work, provided
Grantee has completed the work and submits an invoice for retainage held in accordance with the invoicing
procedures under this Agreement.
12. Insurance.
a. Insurance Requirements for Sub -Grantees and/or Subcontractors. The Grantee shall require its sub -grantees
and/or subcontractors, if any, to maintain insurance coverage of such types and with such terms and limits as
described in this Agreement. The Grantee shall require all its sub -grantees and/or subcontractors, if any, to
make compliance with the insurance requirements of this Agreement a condition of all contracts that are related
to this Agreement. Sub -grantees and/or subcontractors must provide proof of insurance upon request.
b. Deductibles. The Department shall be exempt from, and in no way liable for, any sums of money representing a
deductible in any insurance policy. The payment of such deductible shall be the sole responsibility of the
Grantee providing such insurance.
c. Proof of Insurance. Upon execution of this Agreement, Grantee shall provide Department documentation
demonstrating the existence and amount for each type of applicable insurance coverage prior to performance of
any work under this Agreement. Upon receipt of written request from Department, Grantee shall furnish
Department with proof of applicable insurance coverage by standard form certificates of insurance, a self-
insured authorization, or other certification of self-insurance.
d. Duty to Maintain Coverage. In the event that any applicable coverage is cancelled by the insurer for any
reason, or if Grantee cannot get adequate coverage, Grantee shall immediately notify Department of such
cancellation and shall obtain adequate replacement coverage conforming to the requirements herein and provide
proof of such replacement coverage within ten (10) days after the cancellation of coverage.
e. Insurance Trust. If the Grantee's insurance is provided through an insurance trust, the Grantee shall instead add
the Department of Environmental Protection, its employees, and officers as an additional covered party
everywhere the Agreement requires them to be added as an additional insured.
13. Termination.
a. Termination for Convenience. When it is in the State's best interest, Department may, at its sole discretion,
terminate the Agreement in whole or in part by giving 30 days' written notice to Grantee. The Department shall
notify Grantee of the termination for convenience with instructions as to the effective date of termination or the
specific stage of work at which the Agreement is to be terminated. The Grantee must submit all invoices for
work to be paid under this Agreement within thirty (30) days of the effective date of termination. The
Department shall not pay any invoices received after thirty (30) days of the effective date of termination.
Attachment 1-A
5 of 12
Rev. 10/3/2022
b. Termination for Cause. The Department may terminate this Agreement if any of the events of default described
in the Events of Default provisions below occur or in the event that Grantee fails to fulfill any of its other
obligations under this Agreement. If, after termination, it is determined that Grantee was not in default, or that
the default was excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had
been issued for the convenience of Department. The rights and remedies of Department in this clause are in
addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this Agreement.
c. Grantee Obligations upon Notice of Termination. After receipt of a notice of termination or partial termination
unless as otherwise directed by Department, Grantee shall not furnish any service or deliverable on the date, and
to the extent specified, in the notice. However, Grantee shall continue work on any portion of the Agreement
not terminated. If the Agreement is terminated before performance is completed, Grantee shall be paid only for
that work satisfactorily performed for which costs can be substantiated. The Grantee shall not be entitled to
recover any cancellation charges or lost profits.
d. Continuation of Prepaid Services. If Department has paid for any services prior to the expiration, cancellation,
or termination of the Agreement, Grantee shall continue to provide Department with those services for which it
has already been paid or, at Department's discretion, Grantee shall provide a refund for services that have been
paid for but not rendered.
e. Transition of Services Upon Termination, Expiration, or Cancellation of the Agreement. If services provided
under the Agreement are being transitioned to another provider(s), Grantee shall assist in the smooth transition
of Agreement services to the subsequent provider(s). This requirement is at a minimum an affirmative
obligation to cooperate with the new provider(s), however additional requirements may be outlined in the Grant
Work Plan. The Grantee shall not perform any services after Agreement expiration or termination, except as
necessary to complete the transition or continued portion of the Agreement, if any.
14. Notice of Default.
If Grantee defaults in the performance of any covenant or obligation contained in the Agreement, including, any of
the events of default, Department shall provide notice to Grantee and an opportunity to cure that is reasonable under
the circumstances. This notice shall state the nature of the failure to perform and provide a time certain for correcting
the failure. The notice will also provide that, should the Grantee fail to perform within the time provided, Grantee will
be found in default, and Department may terminate the Agreement effective as of the date of receipt of the default
notice.
15. Events of Default.
Provided such failure is not the fault of Department or outside the reasonable control of Grantee, the following non-
exclusive list of events, acts, or omissions, shall constitute events of default:
a. The commitment of any material breach of this Agreement by Grantee, including failure to timely deliver a
material deliverable, failure to perform the minimal level of services required for a deliverable, discontinuance of
the performance of the work, failure to resume work that has been discontinued within a reasonable time after
notice to do so, or abandonment of the Agreement;
b. The commitment of any material misrepresentation or omission in any materials, or discovery by the Department
of such, made by the Grantee in this Agreement or in its application for funding;
c. Failure to submit any of the reports required by this Agreement or having submitted any report with incorrect,
incomplete, or insufficient information;
d. Failure to honor any term of the Agreement;
e. Failure to abide by any statutory, regulatory, or licensing requirement, including an entry of an order revoking
the certificate of authority granted to the Grantee by a state or other licensing authority;
f. Failure to pay any and all entities, individuals, and furnishing labor or materials, or failure to make payment to
any other entities as required by this Agreement;
g. Employment of an unauthorized alien in the performance of the work, in violation of Section 274 (A) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act;
h. Failure to maintain the insurance required by this Agreement;
i. One or more of the following circumstances, uncorrected for more than thirty (30) days unless, within the
specified 30 -day period, Grantee (including its receiver or trustee in bankruptcy) provides to Department adequate
assurances, reasonably acceptable to Department, of its continuing ability and willingness to fulfill its obligations
under the Agreement:
i. Entry of an order for relief under Title 11 of the United States Code;
ii. The making by Grantee of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
iii. The appointment of a general receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of Grantee's business or property;

Attachment 1-A
6 of 12
Rev. 10/3/2022
iv. An action by Grantee under any state insolvency or similar law for the purpose of its bankruptcy,
reorganization, or liquidation.
16. Suspension of Work.
The Department may, in its sole discretion, suspend any or all activities under the Agreement, at any time, when it is
in the best interest of the State to do so. The Department shall provide Grantee written notice outlining the particulars
of suspension. Examples of reasons for suspension include, but are not limited to, budgetary constraints, declaration
of emergency, or other such circumstances. After receiving a suspension notice, Grantee shall comply with the notice.
Within 90 days, or any longer period agreed to by the parties, Department shall either: (1) issue a notice authorizing
resumption of work, at which time activity shall resume; or (2) terminate the Agreement. If the Agreement is
terminated after 30 days of suspension, the notice of suspension shall be deemed to satisfy the thirty (30) days' notice
required for a notice of termination for convenience. Suspension of work shall not entitle Grantee to any additional
compensation.
17. Force Majeure.
The Grantee shall not be responsible for delay resulting from its failure to perform if neither the fault nor the negligence
of Grantee or its employees or agents contributed to the delay and the delay is due directly to acts of God, wars, acts
of public enemies, strikes, fires, floods, or other similar cause wholly beyond Grantee's control, or for any of the
foregoing that affect subcontractors or suppliers if no altemate source of supply is available to Grantee. In case of
any delay Grantee believes is excusable, Grantee shall notify Department in writing of the delay or potential delay
and describe the cause of the delay either (1) within ten days after the cause that creates or will create the delay first
arose, if Grantee could reasonably foresee that a delay could occur as a result; or (2) if delay is not reasonably
foreseeable, within five days after the date Grantee first had reason to believe that a delay could result. THE
FOREGOING SHALL CONSTITUTE THE GRANTEE'S SOLE REMEDY OR EXCUSE WITH RESPECT
TO DELAY. Providing notice in strict accordance with this paragraph is a condition precedent to such remedy. No
claim for damages, other than for an extension of time, shall be asserted against Department. The Grantee shall not be
entitled to an increase in the Agreement price or payment of any kind from Department for direct, indirect,
consequential, impact or other costs, expenses or damages, including but not limited to costs of acceleration or
inefficiency, arising because of delay, disruption, interference, or hindrance from any cause whatsoever. If
performance is suspended or delayed, in whole or in part, due to any of the causes described in this paragraph, after
the causes have ceased to exist Grantee shall perform at no increased cost, unless Department determines, in its sole
discretion, that the delay will significantly impair the value of the Agreement to Department, in which case Department
may: (1) accept allocated performance or deliveries from Grantee, provided that Grantee grants preferential treatment
to Department with respect to products subjected to allocation; (2) contract with other sources (without recourse to
and by Grantee for the related costs and expenses) to replace all or part of the products or services that are the subject
of the delay, which purchases may be deducted from the Agreement quantity; or (3) terminate Agreement in whole or

report of committee recommendations and guidance, to include attendee input, meeting outcomes,
methodologies selected, appropriate resources and data, relevant assets and review of study deliverables for
accuracy and applicability.
Task 4: Acquire Background Data and Populate Digitak Twin Geodatabases
Description: The Grantee will research and compile the data needed to perform the Vulnerability
Assessment (VA), based on the requirements as defined in Section 380.093, Florida Statute (F.S.)_ Three
main categories of data are required to perform a VA: 1) critical and regionally significant asset inventory,
2) topographic data, and 3) flood scenario -related data. GIS metadata should incorporate a layer for each
of the four asset types as defined in s. 380.093(2) 1-4, F.S. GIS files and associated metadata must adhere
to the Resilient Florida Program's GIS Data Standards (Exhibit I), and raw data sources shall be defined
within the associated metadata. Sea level rise projection data shall include the 2017 National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) intermediate -high and intermediate -low projections for 2040 and
2070, at a minimum. Other projections can be used at the Grantees discretion. Storm surge data used must
be equal to or exceed the 100 -year return period (1% annual chance) flood event. In the process of
researching background data, the Grantee shall identify data gaps, where missing data or low -quality
information may limit the VA's extent or reduce the accuracy of the results. The Grantee shall rectify any
gaps of necessary data. The Grantee will also research and compile data needed to develop the digital twin
in City Simulator, including the appropriate geodatabases to store the digital twin information.
Deliverables: The Grantee will provide the following: 1) a technical report to outline the data compiled for
both the VA and the digital twin and findings of the gap analysis; 2) a summary report to include
recommendations to address the identified data gaps and actions taken to rectify them, if applicable; 3) GIS
files with appropriate metadata of the data compiled for both the VA and the digital twin, to include
locations of critical assets owned or maintained by the Grantee as well as regionally significant assets that
are classified and as defined in s. 380.093(2) 1-4, F.S.
Task 5: Exposure Analysis and Climate Change Forecasts
Description: The Grantee will perform an exposure analysis to identify the depth of water caused by each
sea level rise, storm surge, and/or flood scenario. The water surface depths (i.e. flood scenarios) used to
evaluate assets shall include the following data: tidal flooding, current and future storm surge flooding,
rainfall -induced flooding, and compound flooding, all as applicable, as well as the scenarios and standards
DEP Agreement No.: 22PLN91

Rev. 2.11.22
used for the exposure analysis shall be pursuant to s. 380.093, F.S. GIS files and associated metadata must
adhere to the Resilient Florida Program's GIS Data Standards (Exhibit I), and raw data sources shall be
defined within the associated metadata. The Grantee will also develop forecasts for climate change using
the StormCaster module within City Simulator, to include future rainfall, temperature, and sea level.
Deliverables: The Grantee will provide the following: 1) a draft Vulnerability Assessment report that
provides details on the modeling process, type of models utilized, and resulting tables and maps illustrating
flood depths for each flood scenario; 2) GIS files with results of the exposure analysis for each flood
scenario as well as the appropriate metadata that identifies the methods used to create the flood layers; and
3) results of the StormCaster module within City Simulator.
Task 6: Sensitivity Analysis
Description: The Grantee will perform the sensitivity analysis to measure the impact of flooding on assets
and to apply the data from the exposure analysis to the inventory of critical assets created in the Exposure
Analysis Task. The sensitivity analysis should include an evaluation of the impact of flood severity on each
asset type and at each flood scenario and assign a risk level based on percentages of land area inundated
and number of critical assets affected. The Grantee will run up to 15 scenarios to get an initial understanding
of future climate vulnerabilities and implications to the City. The outputs from the scenario modeling will
provide results and performance metrics.
Deliverables: The Grantee will provide the following: 1) a draft Vulnerability Assessment report that
provides details on the findings of the exposure analysis, sensitivity analysis, and modeling of the 15
scenarios, and includes visual presentation of the data via maps and tables, based on the statutory -required
scenarios and standards; and 2) an initial list of critical and regionally significant assets that are impacted
by flooding. The list of critical and regionally significant assets must be prioritized by area or immediate
need and must identify which flood scenario(s) impacts each asset.
Task 7: Final Vulnerability Assessment Report, Maps, and Tables
Description: The Grantee will finalize the Vulnerability Assessment (VA) report pursuant to the
requirements in s. 380.093, F.S. and based upon the PAT and TAC and public outreach efforts. The final
VA must include all results from the exposure and sensitivity analyses, as well as a summary of identified
risks and assigned focus areas. It should contain a list of critical and regionally significant assets that are
impacted by flooding and sea -level rise, specifying for each asset the flood scenario(s) impacting the asset.
GIS files and associated metadata must adhere to the Resilient Florida Program's GIS Data Standards
(Exhibit I), and raw data sources shall be defined within the associated metadata. The Grantee will also
develop a Community Resilience Report to summarize the planning process, digital twin City Simulator
creation, scenarios evaluated, and results.
Deliverables: The Grantee will provide the following: 1) Final Vulnerability Assessment Report that
provides details on the results and conclusions, including illustrations via maps and tables, based on the
statutory -required scenarios and standards in s. 380.093, F.S.; 2) a final list of critical and regionally
significant assets that are impacted by flooding. The list of critical and regionally significant assets must be
prioritized by area or immediate need and must identify which flood scenario(s) impacts each asset.; 3) all
electronic mapping data used to illustrate flooding and sea level rise impacts identified in the VA, to include
the geospatial data in an electronic file format and GIS metadata; 4) a signed Vulnerability Assessment
