Overall Assessment of Vendor/Contractor:
1 have-Personallyhad-the opportunity -to work with Adventure` Environmental "Inc. (AEI) on a:nuinber
of seagrass,restoration projects for almost 14 years. I have worked spe'cificallywith Greg Tolpinon
these projects, and because, of Greg's history working in the Florida Keys .and :his familiarity with our
program I am -comfortable saying that" have no :doubt that AEI- would be able'to successfully.
complete any tasks wewoald assign them, and that the task would be accomplished in a manner that
would be consistent with our program's goals.
Additional Comments;
I am currently providing field oversight- for a seagrass.restorationproje. ct:we have awarded to AEI
(WC133C 12-NC-0789) Due to thelength of time from the initial injuries to actually receiving
the fundingnecessary to implement this_ restoration projects, the sites conditions changed. Attwo
of the sites,. natural recovery had occurred to a level Whereimplementation'of the recommended
restoration is-no:longer needed. AEI'had mobilized equipment, had sediment fill staged and
sediment tubes ready. for placement: FICNIVIS identified= alternate sites in the vicinity ofthe
current staging area that were candidates for similar restoration projects as those Tecorimmended
for the:two sites than had recovered, These alternate sites arecurrently permitted for restoration;
soplacement of fill.. and sediment tubes can begin immediately wrthout the additional delays
associated with identifying new sites and obtaining. required permits. AEI was patient while a
modificationwas prepared to restore the alteuiate sites and although the Modification took
almost 2 -Weeks to get approved, accepted the modification with no additional costs. AEI was
able -to. complete 6 days of work -before the arrival of Tropical Stormisaac required them to
demobilize and secure all equipment. for the storm. AEI contacted me immediately after the
stornihad passed and -will be mobilizing their equipriient again to start work as soon as possible,.
In May .of:2011, our program was: notified, of a marine mammal stranding event in the -vicinity •of
Cudjoe Key, Florida.. Beginning May 6; I was deployed.and.remained oh scene unto Maya.
coordinating.search/recovery operations: and logistics. for releasing/transporting live and disposing of
deceased animals: Once I arrived on scene, one of rny initial tasks Was to locate a vessel andlor
equipment large enough to'successfully return any of the whaleshack to the wild.if the veterinarians
determinedthey were healthy enough to .survive. I began to contact All ofthe contractors I usually
deal with the Lower Keys who have equipment large enough to. transport animals up to I feet yin
length and potentially weighing 1 to 4 tons; Only one of the contractors had equipment available :and
after additional. discussions with the veterinarians, it was deter pined that this equipment would not
be able to support the size and weight of two::animals they were preparing for immediate release.
Initially,..I hadn't: contacted Adventure Environmental because" they are based put of Miami or the
Upper Keys close to:100 miles from the site :of.the stranding: After exhausting all local resources:and
at the suggestion of one of our team Who works with AEI on the: contract addressed by this
performance evaluation,.I contacted Greg Tolpin. Greg was: eager to provide any assistance he and
AEI- could and indicated that he had equipment.; that could transport: the animals. After recetvinggthe
necessary approvals,) contacted Greg to let hint blow to mobilize his 'equipment :Knowing time was
a factor in successfully releasing the whales, Greg had already mobilized his team and theywere
•
preparing their equipmentfor the long'trip to Cudjoe Key. Greg and.one of lus :staff arrived that
evening with the barge.and preparations were made to load the two whales for release the following
-morning: The next morning the twowhales were loaded onto the barge and aferan almost 20 mile
trip were successfully released 12 milesoffshore in the. Atlantic Ocean..AEI remained :onscene. until
.it'.was. determined that the remaining whales would require rehabilitation and would.not be _released.. I
asked :Greg multiple times •durrng our discussions about.thii a costs • ;associated with mobilizing
equipment and stafL His reply eveiy time, "don'tworry about that " Of coursel.was. concerned that
the costs of mobihz ng a,bar e:and staffto:travel close`to 300. miles round trip tould:be high,.but;I
, g
also 11new.from past: experience that Gregwould.charge. a:fatrpuce for.his work When:all Was said:
and.done, Greg indicated that there: would beno charge: for their services:and;that; he was glad they
were able to assist:with.the successful release of the two whales,
As a member of a team corriprised of representatives from.multiple non -governmental organizations
and local, state, and federal agencies, Adventure. Environmental Incorporated's efforts were
instrumental in the. successful release of two of tho. stranded whales:.The successful release of these
animals •. occurred because of the skills, training, and_persistence_.of'dedicated.professioiials and
volunteers •such .as Adventure Environmental Iitc..
