Call City Clerk 5 ATTACHMENT I – SCOPE & PAYMENT A Scope of Services & Deliverables The Provider shall carry out the project described in Attachment II (project proposal) with the following considerations • The planting will be scaled down from the original proposal to include only the existing Pollinator Garden and the Turtle Pond area • Plants will be watered 2-3 times per week during establishment, with approximately %2 inch applied per watering event — especially in sandy soils Soil moisture will be monitored to fine-tune frequency Irrigation will be gradually reduced once plants are established, until it is no longer needed • After planting, weeds will be checked for every two weeks (or as needed) Monthly monitoring can begin once plants are established Inspection frequency will increase during wetter -than -normal summers or falls It will be ensured that volunteers and maintenance staff can identify weeds — particularly invasive species — at the seedling stage • Plants will be purchased from a Florida Association of Native Nurseries (FANN) member nursery or other approved retail outlet specializing in native plants • Containerized plants that are weedy will be rejected from the grower/nursery If weeds are present in the plants to be installed, they will surely be a problem in the garden Containerized plants can introduce weeds to the site even when none are visible on the root ball The nursery will be visited before purchasing when possible Adequate weed control within and around container beds will be sought — weeds present there may appear later at your planting site If weed control seems inadequate, plants will be sourced from elsewhere to avoid introducing weed seed to the site B Deliverables & Reporting 1 Deliverables shall include all work described in Attachment II (project proposal) and any modifications noted in this Attachment I 2 The project timeline shall be as listed below Estimated planting/completion date October 31, 2026

The Garden Lodge (labeled as 'Class Room' on the Park Map) is a meeting space for local groups and is also used during events at the park. There is frequent pedestrian traffic in this area, and it serves as a gathering point during public events and educational programs. The turtle pond is in between the Pollinator Garden and the Garden Lodge. 27.977214, -82.723455 11,404 sq. ft. a. Sandy soil (current and past) b. occasionally moist (irrigation is available) (current and past) c. full sun, partial shade (more sun in the past, full sun and partial shade currently) d. Native Plants • Lyreleaf Sage • Goldenrod • Grayleaf Teabush • Tickseed • Firebush • Shiny Wild Coffee • Coralbean • Walter's Viburnum • Saw Palmetto • Mimosa • Spiderwort Non-native Plants: • Brazilian Pepper • Boston Sword Fern • Rosary Pea • Guinea Grass • Old World Climbing Fern • Skunk Vine • Ceasar Weed Efforts to remove non -natives include mechanical and hand pulling. Brazilian Peppers have been cut down and have had herbicide applied in the past. NOTE: Invasive species can make or break a planting. It is important that invasive species within and around your site be removed and managed effectively to ensure the success of your project. If invasive species are present in or around your proposed site, you will be required to follow the Foundation's site preparation requirements. If you are unsure if a non-native present on your site is an invasive, please refer to the Florida Invasive Species Council's (FISC's) List of Invasive Species. 5. Provide a detail of the proposed planting, including: a. b. c. d. e. Site preparation plan and schedule Planting/installation date (or schedule if multiple dates) Installation methods Maintenance methods and schedule The Pollinator Garden will be expanded by approximately 200 square feet with new plantings around the Turtle Pond. 7 plant species will be added to the existing garden area. The area encompassing the turtle pond will be planted with native plants and wildflowers. The plant species have been selected by members of the Florida Native Plant Society's Pinellas Chapter that meets monthly at the park and provides regular garden maintenance. The additional plantings will allow for a more diverse collection of native pollinator plants. a. The site will be mechanically cleared and hand -pulled in June 2026. b. Plantings will be focused on one defined areas at a time depending on amount of prep necessary. It will involve multiple dates. Planting will begin in July 2026 and will be completed within three months. c. Plants will be placed to give them appropriate amount of spacing needed to reach maturity. Pine straw will be used for mulch. All plants will be hand planted. d. New plantings will be monitored weekly for issues and irrigation requirements. The garden receives weekly irrigation through the dry season and can be increased if needed for establishing the new plants. The garden will be monitored by City staff during the rainy season but will most likely receive adequate water from rainfall. The area is visited frequently by City staff, and a log will be placed in the Nature Center to record observations made during the week. Volunteer workdays are scheduled monthly for hand -pulling of weeds and pruning if needed. 6. An expert review of the selected planting site is required to determine suitability and sustainability prior to planting. The review may not be conducted by the project manager submitting the application, however, it may be conducted by another representative of the applicant's organization or other organizations such as the Florida Native Plant Society, University of Florida IFAS Extension or local native nursery.

Education and Outreach An important goal of the Viva Florida Wildflower Demonstration Grant Program is to increase awareness and knowledge among adults of the environmental, historical and cultural significance of Florida's native flora. 1. Describe the plan for native wildflower educational materials and programming as it relates to the project and grant program's goals. Plan must include educational components such as programming related to the planting, interpretative signage, plant identification tools and/or handouts/brochures, as well as promotion and outreach methods such as newsletter or website articles, press releases, videos, and/or social media posts. The improved Pollinator Garden will function as a highly visible demonstration landscape and a living classroom for adult visitors, volunteers and community groups. Project updates and educational messaging will be announced in the City's Sustainability Newsletter (email). The garden will also be featured on the City's Pollinator Power webpage, and our social media team will be creating Native Plant of the Month posts that include invitations to come and visit the garden. Adult -focused programming will include guided tours During our free Earth Day celebration and other seasonal events, where park staff will explain the benefits of supporting our native bees, butterflies and insects. Visitors will learn how they can incorporate these plants into their own yards, and staff will discuss the importance of removing invasive species from the landscape. Native plants featured in the garden will be displayed on the TV screens in the park's Nature Center along with a description of their benefits. Small specimen identification signage will be staked near native plants to inform visitors about the garden plantings. Park staff are always present if visitors have questions about the Pollinator Garden. The Florida Native Plant Society schedules monthly Pollinator Workdays, where adult volunteers help to maintain the garden while learning about the native plants and how to care for them. These volunteer events serve as hands-on training opportunities in sustainable landscape management, invasive species removal, and Tong -term maintenance of native plant communities. Through interpretive materials, guided programming, volunteer engagement and digital outreach, the expanded Pollinator Garden will increase awareness and knowledge of Florida native wildflowers and plants while serving as a model for sustainable urban habitat enhancement. FWF logo files and style guide will be provided. Use of logo(s) must be approved prior to production. FWF handouts and brochures may be requested for use in educational programming. 2. Enter the annual number of visitors to the nature center, public park or public land for the years indicated and indicate what percentage of visitors were adults.

The areas at Moccasin Lake Nature Park around the Education Center, including the butterfly garden, are 'cleat for the Inclusion of native plants for several reasons First there are already some native plants that have been planted or are growing naturally, indicating that the soil, moisture Levels and lighting are suitable and will sustain native plants after the non -natives have been removed Second, the areas near the education center have a nearby water source, so that the new planting can be easily irrigated while they are being established Finally, because of the proximity to the education center they would provide the opportunity to educate park guests on the advantages of native plants, including reduced water use, no need for fertilizer or herbicides and the support of natural communities There are several volunteer organizations, including the Pinellas Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society (PCFNPS) and the Safety Harbor Garden Club, that, in addition to Park staff, will ensure the sustainability of the area The volunteer organizations have Master Gardeners, Master Naturalists, and landscaping professionals among their members who will be assisting in all phases of the project These experienced volunteers will be participating in landscape design, plant selection, planting and maintenance, including weeding, trimming and watering as necessary The PCFNPS currently maintains the butterfly garden, Located beside the Education Center On a monthly basis experienced PCFNPS volunteers direct between four and eight volunteers in the maintenance of the garden These work sessions are also used to educate workers on native plant identification, cultivation and benefits An important task in maintaining the sustainability of the garden is identification and removal of invasive species Unfortunately, species such as Brazilian pepper, carrotwood, rosary pea and Guinea grass wilt continue to be a challenge in the garden Volunteers wilt be taught how to identify and remove these invasives while they are still young, hopefully eliminating the need for herbicide The combination of existing native plant areas, park resources close to the planting areas, available expertise, volunteer tabor and educational opportunities will ensure short term and long-term success of the project David Perkey President, Pinellas Chapter, Florida Native Plant Society
