1.0 BACKGROUND DISCUSSION
Tuskawilla Crossings Subdivision is located south of State Road 434, east of Tuskawilla Road,
adjacent to Indian Trails Middle School, within the Howell Creek tributary to Lake Jessup (refer
to Figure 1).
Figure 1
Vicinity Map
The subdivision encompasses 133.3 acres, including a community park (pool, playground, dog
park, etc.) and 747 residential lots that were constructed in two (2) separate phases pursuant to
SJRWMD Permit 148395-1 that was issued on May 11, 2017. Seminole County’s Cross Seminole
Trail bisects the property into unequal north and south parts (refer to Figure 2).

POND 1 REPAIR AND REHABILITATION
A-3 P-229804
Site work began in late 2017 and construction of the residential lots was complete in late 2021.
Construction of the commercial development platted on Tract FD-4 located immediately south
of Michael Blake Boulevard has not started as of October 2023 and an application for
Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) was not located on SJRWMD e-Permitting.
The permitted stormwater management system includes a total of five (5) wet detention
stormwater ponds that discharge to wetlands and conservation areas identified on the
subdivision plat as Tracts A, B-1, B-2, C, and D (refer to Figure 2). The operation and
maintenance phase of the stormwater management system began on December 17, 2019 when
District staff issued SJRWMD Permit 148395-3. The scope of work for this proposal pertains
specifically to Pond 1, which is located south of State Road 434, and north and east of the Cross
Seminole Trail. Pond 1 comprises approximately 3.79 acres at the top of bank elevation 26-ft,
NAVD and provides stormwater management for a contributing drainage area of 47.72 acres.2
The water quality and pollution abatement volume provided within Pond 1 is recovered by a 6-
inch diameter circular orifice that is connected to a proprietary Nutrient Removal Filtration
System (NRFS) that was installed to address the District’s nutrient removal criteria for
discharges to Lake Jessup. Overflow discharge from Pond 1 is conveyed to the adjacent wetland
and conservation area (Tract B-1) by a broad crested concrete weir.

Sometime in late August or early September 2023, a berm failure occurred on the north side of
Pond 1 that resulted in a nearly vertical breach that rapidly drained the pond with significant
soil loss and sediment deposition within the downstream wetland and conservation area (Tract
B-1).

A-5 P-229804
In addition to the berm failure, the following deficiencies will also need to be addressed as part
of repairing and rehabilitating Pond 1, and it is very likely that additional deficiencies will also
be discovered after engineering design commences.
·Side slope erosion around the entire pond perimeter.
·Localized erosion of the pond berm and side slope caused by a rear yard drainage
system located at 1533 Graceful Doe Loop.
·Elevated pond control water level caused by the drawdown orifice and the NRFS
structure.
·Damaged fiberglass skimmer for the broad crested concrete weir.
·Erosion potential between the broad crested concrete weir and the downstream
wetland and conservation area (Tract B-1).
·Erosion and scour at the outlet ends of the storm pipes that discharge into Pond 1.
·Exposed storm pipe and joint along the Pond 5 outfall system just after the 90 degree
turn along the south side of Pond 1. It should be noted that possible causes of this
deficiency could include: a leaking pipe joint; erosion, soil loss and limited pipe cover;
and groundwater seepage related “gouging” that is occurring between the Cross
Seminole Trail and Pond 1.
·Horizontal sock drains that were left over from the original pond dewatering that have
been exposed and ruptured by the rapid loss of water in Pond 1.
·Repair and reconstruction of the berm breach.
The reader is also referred to a preliminary assessment of the Pond 1 berm failure prepared by
Pegasus Engineering (refer to Exhibit “D”).

2.0 PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES
Pegasus Engineering, LLC (Consultant), shall provide the engineering services as itemized on the
Manhour and Fee Estimate provided as Exhibit “B”. Referring to the information provided
within Exhibit “C”, this proposal also includes services from the following sub-consultants.
Survey Sub-consultant .................................. Southeastern Surveying & Mapping Corp. (SSMC)
The topographic survey limits were defined to encompass all of the Pond 1 deficiencies that
were previously discussed, and will also include the area downstream of the berm breach
where eroded soils have been deposited in the downstream wetland and conservation area
(Tract B-1). Refer to the “Basis of Proposal / Assumptions” section of this proposal for
additional discussion regarding sediment deposition within the downstream wetland.
Geotechnical Sub-consultant ............................................................ Devo Engineering (DEVO)
The geotechnical investigation will assess soil conditions at the berm failure, identify the
primary cause of the berm failure and provide specific recommendations for repairing and
reconstructing the Pond 1 berm. Pegasus Engineering will use the figures and recommendations
presented within the geotechnical report to prepare construction plans for the proposed berm
repair and reconstruction. Because repairing and re-constructing the berm failure is a critical
component that involves atypical work, the geotechnical sub-consultant has also included some
limited post-design service related to construction oversight.
Structural Sub-consultant ............................................Florida Bridge and Transportation (FBT)
Because the geotechnical sub-consultant anticipates that repairing and re-constructing the
Pond 1 berm using compacted fill will not be sufficient to adequately prevent the possibility of a
future failure, a sheet pile wall will be designed by the structural sub-consultant based on
recommendations presented within the geotechnical report. The structural sub-consultant has
also included some limited post-design services for reviewing and approving submittals related
to the sheet pile wall.

3.0 GENERAL
The Consultant will adhere to the following procedures throughout the course of the contract.
1.Construction plans will be prepared to scale on 24” x 36” sheet size. A single set of
construction plans will be prepared that is suitable for public bid and ready to award for
construction. All design parameters, surveys, and construction plans will be prepared and
submitted in English standard units.
2.Construction cost estimates shall show quantity breakdowns of all items following the
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) numbering system.
3.Digital copies of all construction plans and work products shall be provided at the
conclusion of the contract.
4.0 BASIS OF PROPOSAL / ASSUMPTIONS
The following conditions and assumptions are noted as qualifications to this proposal.
1.This proposal does not include the following professional services. In the event that any of
these services are required in the future, it is assumed that an amendment will be
processed to encompass those additional services.
ü Stormwater modeling for proposed conditions.
ü Permitting related to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, including any applications
submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for “retained waters” or the
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for “assumed waters”.
ü Permitting with Seminole County related to the Cross Seminole Trail.
ü Permitting with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to relocate
existing water and/or sewer lines within the limits of construction.
ü Modification or relocation of existing utility systems.
ü Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) operations and Traffic Control Plans (TCP).
ü Ecological assessments and wetland mitigation.
303
EXHIBIT "A"–SCOPE OF WORK
TUSKAWILLA CROSSINGS SUBDIVISION
POND 1 REPAIR AND REHABILITATION
A-8 P-229804
ü Restoration, tree replacement and/or landscape plans.
ü Legal sketches and descriptions for easement acquisition or vacating conservation
easements.
ü Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services.
2.Environmental restoration to ameliorate the adverse effects of sediments that were
transported and deposited within the downstream wetland and platted conservation area
(Tract B-1) is not recommended. Accurately defining the areal extent of sediment
deposition and estimating the volume of sediment removal are both very difficult tasks, and
removing the sediments can often result in causing more environmental damage than
environmental benefit. Based on our experience with previous projects, environmental
restoration through natural recruitment and regeneration from existing seed source is
recommended. However, this will need to be discussed with District staff to determine if
the sediment discharge will be considered an unauthorized filling of a wetland or the result
of a natural disaster.
3.Because the proposed construction activities are anticipated to result in more than 1-acre
of disturbed land, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) construction
permit application from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will be required.
However, and although a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), Notice of Intent
(NOI) and Notice of Termination (NOT) are applicable to this project, task assignments
related to NPDES permitting are not included in the scope of work for this proposal.
4.Permit application fees are not included and will be provided by others.
5.The bid advertisement will disseminate electronic files (in PDF format) instead of hard
copies.

PROPOSAL FOR:
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION OF ROOT CAUSE OF SEP 2023 POND 1 BERM BREACH
(CONSTRUCTED CIRCA SEP 2018) AND RECOMMENDED CONCEPT RETROFIT
TUSKAWILLA CROSSINGS
City of Winter Springs, Seminole County, Florida
Dear Mr. Teague:
Tuscawilla Crossings single family subdivision is located south of State Road 434 and east of Tuscawilla Road in the
City of Winter Springs, Seminole County, Fl. The Cross Seminole Trail runs through the relatively new subdivision.
Pond 1 of this subdivision is a narrow linear, "inverted L-shaped", wet detention pond (with nutrient removal box)
which rims a lower lying wetland. A fill berm with a design top of bank elevation of +26 ft NAVD is on the downhill
side of this pond and the height of the fill varies from zero to approximately 7 ft above natural ground. The
maintenance berm is 10 ft wide and the pond side slope is 4H:1V to approximate elevation +19 ft NAVD on the
inboard slope, and then steepens to 2H:1V to approximate elevation +10 ft NAVD at the bottom. The outboard slope
is also 4H:1V or gentler, but the offsite grade drops off into a ditch within the wetland which is at elevation +16 ft
NAVD at a distance of about 60 ft from the top of berm at the location of interest. The pond bottom elevation in
its deeper lobes (which includes the area of interest) is approximately +10 ft NAVD. With a controlled pond water
level 12+ ft above the bottom at +22.6 ft NAVD and a spillway at elevation +24 ft NAVD. This means that there is
full water pressure acting on the soil from elevation +10 ft NAVD to generally +22.6 ft NAVD and the base and side
of the fill berm below the control elevation are now sustaining this groundwater head elevated above natural ground
and water wanting to leak through any permeable contact faces or planes between fill/fill or fill/natural ground.
Pond 1 was constructed in calendar year 2018 and was certified complete in April 2019, although Pond 1 is
completed by December 2018. In September 2023 (approximately 5 years after construction), the highest portion
of the fill berm (approximately 35 ft wide) undermined and suddenly breached over a distance of about 30-35 ft
width with sheer sides. Aerial photos show seepage collecting in the wetland at this location in January 2023
Devo Engineering
Consulting Geotechnical Engineers Page 1

predating the actual berm collapse. More importantly, the berm breach corresponds with a berm excavation at this
same location and extent in January 2018 where Pond 1 was isolated to allow drainage into the offsite wetland
swale. The failed berm appears to coincide exactly with the berm excavation which appears on the Jan 3, 2018
aerial photo. The water mark line in the pond at the time of the failure is approximately +24.5 ft NAVD which is
about 7 ft above the adjacent ditch in the wetland and it appears the berm fill placed within the incision may not
have been tied back into the cut surfaces to prevent preferential seepage planes.
Horizontal sock drains which were used for the pond dewatering have been exposed and ruptured by the loss of
water in the pond (and are now discharging) and the circular depressional fish nests on the sandy slope are also
apparent but initial assessment does not indicate that these are root cause factors in the berm breach.
The purpose of this report will be to assess the soil profiles on the berm, root cause analysis of the failure, and
provide concept recommendations for reinstatement of the berm. Six (6) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings
are planned and they will be drilled to a depth of 25 ft to provide sufficient data for sheetpile design in the berm
which may be 20 ft deep or 25 ft deep but such a cutoff will extend to at least 5 ft below the pond bottom of
+10 ft NAVD. Lab testing will be performed on the soil samples to check fines content. The sharp interface of the
berm breach indicates a construction discontinuity. Note that our design will be conceptual showing depth and extent
of repair and reinstatement but the actual plans and specs will be prepared by Pegasus.
Our services will also include limited inspection of the proposed retrofit and consultation with the structural engineer
on the final design.
Our estimated fee for services is in Table 1 and we can complete this work within 6 weeks of authorization to
proceed, although we can provide an interim and conservative repair plan for the berm to discontinue the discharge
of water into the wetland system.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide this proposal for your review and trust that it covers the work needed.
Please feel free to contact us if there are any questions.

RE: Structural Design and Plan Sheet for Sheet Pile Wall
Tuskawilla Crossings Pond 1 Berm Failure, City of Winter Springs
Proposal for Structural Design Services
FBT Project Number 23-74.01
Dear Greg:
Florida Bridge and Transportation, Inc. (FBT) is pleased to submit this proposal to PEGASUS
for engineering services for the above referenced project. The scope of design services for this
work order includes the following:
1) Design and Plan Production: FBT will provide the structural design and plan sheets for
the proposed sheet pile walls per the concept shown in the plan provided by Pegasus. It
is assumed the sheet pile walls will be cantilever walls (not braced or anchored). FBT
will provide design and details for the sheet pile and a concrete coping with railing (if
required). The railing will be a standard railing from FDOT Standard Indexes and no
custom modifications are included. It is assumed special coating systems (other than coal
tar epoxy) and colors for the sheet pile will not be required. Wall control drawings will
not be provided (wall geometry will be shown in Pegasus’ plans). The plans and
calculations will include one custom design with details for the “short sheets” which will
be required to span across the existing storm drain outfall from the retention pond to the
creek. The total lump sum for Item #1 and #2 is $10,335.36.
2) Meetings, Specifications and Cost Estimates: FBT will attend one status meeting (if
required) with the City staff and Pegasus. The project specifications will consist of the
FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, and supplemental
specifications are not anticipated or included. FBT will provide one estimate of probable
construction cost for the structural items. FBT will assist Pegasus develop a bid schedule
for the structural items.
3) This proposal includes an allotment of up to 24 hours for post design services such as
(but not limited to) site visits during construction and review of RFIs. The maximum
limiting amount fee for this task will be $4,762.73 based on an hourly/unit rate basis
(Project Manager at $250/hr, SR Engineer at $217/hr, Project Engineer at $143/hr, SR
Designer at $138/hour and Engineer Intern at $98/hr).
4) The project deliverables will consist of 100% and signed and sealed “final” plans and
structural calculations. We understand the final deliverables may include 24x36 sheets.
The reprographic cost for FBT’s portion of the project is included in the fee below.

· Development of As-Built or Construction Record Drawings
· Construction inspection or observation of on-going or completed construction
The items indicated above, or any other services not included in the basic scope of design
services described above, may be provided for an additional fee. A supplemental agreement
must be negotiated prior to the additional work being performed by FBT. Additional services
required for this project may be provided based on an addendum to this agreement. Fees for
additional services will be addressed on a case by case basis.
In order for FBT to perform these services, we will need the following information from others:
· Site layout showing overall geometry with top of wall and existing/proposed grades on
low side of wall
· Survey at the walls including elevations, contours and topo
· Geotechnical field work and design recommendations
This proposal will become invalid if not executed within 90 days. We are prepared to commence
the structural design services upon receipt of written notice to proceed.

2.0 – POSSIBLE CAUSES OF BERM FAILURE
2.1 Construction Issues and Considerations
Because the berm failure appears to have occurred in the location where a drainage outfall (24-inch
CMP with a contributing drainage area = 81.02 acres) previously existed, a geotechnical engineer should
be retained to forensically evaluate possible construction issues that caused or contributed to the Pond
1 berm failure.

2.2 Pond 1 Control Water Level (CWL)
An excerpt from the Final Geotechnical Exploration (Section 11.0 – Stormwater Management Design) is
provided below.
“The sloping groundwater table was found to generally coincide with the ground surface
topography. The stormwater pond designs for this site will be very challenging due to
the groundwater gradient measured across the proposed pond footprints. For example,
Pond 1 (Table VI-A) is expected to have seasonal high groundwater levels ranging from
+32.4 (Boring P-2) at the northwest end and transitioning to +22.4 feet (Boring P-5) near
the southeastern portion of the pond footprint. This represents a 10-foot elevation
difference in groundwater levels across the pond footprint”.
·Estimated Seasonal High Groundwater Levels
- Pond 1 Boring P-1 = 30-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-2 = 29.9-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-3 = 25.8-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-4 = 18.2-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-5 = 19.4-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-6 = 21.4-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Average = 24.12-ft, NAVD
Water Level Gradient = 8.6-feet

·Estimated Normal Groundwater Levels
- Pond 1 Boring P-1 = 28-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-2 = 27.9-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-3 = 23.8-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-4 = 16.2-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-5 = 17.4-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-6 = 19.4-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Average = 22.12-ft, NAVD
·Estimated Seasonal Low Groundwater Levels
- Pond 1 Boring P-1 = 26-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-2 = 25.9-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-3 = 21.8-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-4 = 14.2-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-5 = 15.4-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Boring P-6 = 17.4-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Average = 20.12-ft, NAVD
Excerpt from Sheet C4.12 of the Record Drawings for Tuskawilla Crossings
Photographs and videos taken during site inspections conducted on September 8, 2023 and September
18, 2023 show a well-defined interface along the entire pond side slope where the sod ends and bare
soil begins. Although the elevation of this sod and bare soil interface is not presently known, the sod
appears to stop well above the pond control water level (CWL) as shown in the design documents. This
condition would seem to indicate that Pond 1 may have been experiencing elevated water levels for an
extended period of time that was sufficient to prevent any type of vegetative growth between the pond
CWL and top of bank elevations.
·Elevations from the Final Plans approved by the City of Winter Springs
- Pond 1 CWL = 22.60-ft, NAVD
- Pond 1 Top of Bank = 26.00-ft, NAVD
·Elevations from the Final Plans approved by the City of Winter Springs
- Pond 1 CWL = 22.60-ft, NAVD
- Pond 5 CWL = 39.75-ft, NAVD

Photographs taken during a site inspection conducted by City staff on September 21, 2023 show that the
circular orifice at Structure NRFS-2 (Nutrient Removing Filtration System) was clogged by what appears
to be plastic erosion mat that may have been incorrectly installed on the pond side slopes.

2.3 Pond 1 Retention Volume Recovery
Retention volume recovery is provided by a circular orifice and a biosportion activated media (BAM)
filter at Structure NRFS-2 (Nutrient Removing Filtration System), with discharge provided by a 12-inch
outfall pipe. If the BAM filter was clogged and little flow was occurring, an elevated CWL of
approximately 25-ft, NAVD could be anticipated, or a water level that is roughly 1-foot below the pond
top of bank.
·Elevations from the Record Drawings prepared by Appian Engineering
- 6-inch diameter PVC tee bottom = 22.34-ft, NAVD
- 6-inch diameter orifice invert = 22.60-ft, NAVD

2.4 Pond 1 Overflow Weir
Overflow of peak discharge rates is provided by a 2-step concrete weir, with a 30-foot wide overflow at
elevation 24-ft, NAVD and an 80-foot wide overflow at elevation 25.2-ft, NAVD. Although as-built
information for the overflow weir was not shown in the Record Drawings, overflow at elevation 24-ft,
NAVD is approximately 2-feet below the pond top of bank at elevation 26-ft-NAVD, a vertical distance
which should be sufficient to mitigate the possibility of having a weir crest elevation that is at or above
the pond top of bank. If the fiberglass skimmer was not installed correctly, or if the vertical distance
provided between the skimmer bottom and the pond side slope was insufficient, water levels in the
pond would need to exceed elevation 25.3-ft, NAVD (skimmer top) before discharge could occur.

Observations during a second site inspection conducted on September 13, 2023 confirm that the
fiberglass skimmer for the Pond 1 overflow weir has been damaged, which may or may not have
happened at the same time as the berm failure (refer to the previous figure).

2.5 Groundwater Inflows
Photographs and videos taken during site inspections conducted on September 8, 2023 and September
18, 2023 show perforated HDPE pipes that appear to be some type of underdrain. One segment of
broken pipe located near the berm failure was observed to be flowing water during the site inspections,
whereas segments of pipe at other locations within the pond were observed to not be flowing water
during the site inspections. The locations and horizontal limits of all the HDPE pipes still need to be
determined, along with the origin of the piping system and the type of flow that the system is
intercepting (groundwater baseflow, flowing artesian well, etc.).

3.0 – RECOMMENDATIONS
3.1 Geotechnical Investigations
A geotechnical engineer should be retained to:
·Determine the locations and horizontal limits of all the perforated HDPE pipes and develop a
protocol for repairing the damaged sections or plugging the pipes.
·Forensically evaluate possible construction issues that caused or contributed to the Pond 1 berm
failure and develop specific recommendations for re-constructing the damaged berm.
A proposal from Devo Engineering was requested on Friday, September 22, 2023.
3.2 Topographic Survey
A professional land surveyor should be retained to:
·Horizontally locate the perforated HDPE underdrain pipes.
·Horizontally and vertically locate the geotechnical soil borings.
·Develop a topographic survey for Pond 1. The topographic survey will be used to prepare
construction plans to illustrate: the berm failure repair; re-grading the pond side slopes; the
limits where high performance turf reinforcement mats need to be installed.
A proposal from Southeastern Surveying was requested on Friday, September 22, 2023.
3.3 SJRWMD Permit Coordination
Coordinate with District staff relative to the possibility of removing Structure NRFS-2 (Nutrient Removing
Filtration System) due to maintenance issues that could have contributed to the Pond 1 berm failure.
3.4 Bid Documents
Prepare bid documents:
·Construction plans.
·Technical specifications (including geotechnical engineering recommendations).
·Bid schedule.
3.5 Bidding and Construction of the Proposed Repairs and/or Improvements
Request bids from contractors and schedule a mandatory pre-bid meeting at the project location.
