Upper Peace River Resource Development
developed to collect survey data for several cross-sections and bridge crossings within the upper Peace River and two of
its tributaries, Bear Branch and Six Mile Creek. Notice to Proceed was issued on May 15, 2008. Notice to Proceed for
Work Order #10 was issued on November 10, 2008. Work Order #10 includes the collection of additional survey
information within the City of Bartow for areas that discharge to the Peace River. This work has been completed. The
original agreement focuses on the area above Homeland. A second consultant services agreement was developed to
focus on the area contributing flow to the river between Homeland and Zolfo Springs. The Second Agreement was
executed on July 11, 2007. Work Order #1 was issued against the Second Agreement on July 20, 2007; and involves the
completion of Watershed Evaluation tasks for the area between Homeland and Zolfo Springs. Status History: The first
contract currently encumbers $150,000 of FY2004 funds, $500,000 of FY2005 funds, and $500,000 of FY2006 funds.
The Second Consulting Services Agreement encumbers $500,000 of FY2007 funds. $200,000 in FY2008 funding was
used to retain HDR to further evaluation the use of CS-11. The remaining $50,000 in FY2008 funds was liquidated.
$250,000 was budgetted in FY2009. $360,000 of H004 Upper Peace River Minimum Flow Enhancement project funds
were transferred to this project to retain a consultant to perform detailed geotechnical analyses, obtain topographic
information, prepare cost/benefit analyses, prepare preliminary and final design plans, and obtain permits needed to
construct a reservoir. The H004 funds were previously Board encumbered. The amount shown in the Prior Funding
column of the funding table has been revised to reflect the funds transferred from the H004 project. Tasks associated
with Work Orders #1, #2, #3, #5, #7, #8, & #9 have been completed, and associated final deliverables have been
approved. Tasks related to the First Agreement - Work Orders #4, #6, & #10 are on-going. As of this writing, the

expended to obtain additional LiDAR data. Of the $250,000 in FY2009 funding, $15,000 will be used to retain a
consultant to provide technical support in responding to questions on the conceptual design for CS-11; $41,142 will be
used to obtain topographic information for an area that was inundated when the LiDAR data was obtained. An additional
$3,350 was added to the HDR contract to finish technical support for CS-11 land negotiations and $10,000 was added as
contigency in case any new issues arise. The remaining $181,357 of FY2009 will be encumbered without a contract to be
