Agreement for Professional Services - Mohawks Plastics Wetland Mitigation Design January 28, 2008 Page 11 of 11 EXHIBIT A Scope of Work TASK 1 - PERMIT SUPPORT Work performed under this task will provide JARPA drawings for preparation of permit documents. It is our understanding that Grette will be completing the JARPA along with any other required permit or approval applications. In addition, Grette will be completing a Biological Assessment to comply with the Federal Endangered Species Act. Landau Associates' tasks will include graphics to support the JARPA submittal, design of the mitigation site, geotechnical engineering in support of the mitigation site design, and preparation of a mitigation report. Assumptions: • It is anticipated that all necessary environmental and building permits will be secured by Grette. • Grette has already completed the delineation and surveyed the wetland on the Goedeke site, no additional delineation or survey work will be required for the mitigation plan. • Grette or the City will provide a map of the surveyed wetland boundaries at the mitigation site in an AutoCAD or ArcGIS compatible format. • Grette will provide the wetland rating, functional assessment, and determination of buffer widths per current City of Auburn Municipal Code and Ecology, along with supporting data sheets, and rating forms. • The scope for drawings includes only JARPA drawings and any drawings necessary for the mitigation plan. • Rights of Entry and Rights of Access, if needed, will be secured by Grette prior to any needed site visits by Landau Associates staff TASK 2 - MITIGATION PLAN Subtask 2.1 - Site Reconnaissance Landau Associates' biologists will conduct a wetland site reconnaissance to gather any additional data needed for the mitigation design phase. Test pits will be excavated up to 3 ft below ground surface in areas that are proposed for wetland mitigation in order to gather data on soil and groundwater for mitigation design and for the landscape contractor during the bidding process. Information from the reconnaissance will be compiled in the mitigation report. In order to proceed with wetland mitigation (creation) planning, it is critical that wetland boundaries, ratings, and functions (which directly relate to buffer widths and mitigation ratios) be accurately represented and verified by any agency that will regulate wetland impacts and mitigation measures. It is our understanding that the Corps and the City have reviewed and affirmed the wetland delineation, rating, and functional assessment for the Mohawk expansion site (King County Parcel Number 1321049056) and the Goedeke mitigation site. Assumptions: • The Corps has already asserted jurisdiction over the Mohawk expansion site. • Grette will provide a map of the surveyed wetland boundaries at the Goedeke mitigation site and the Mohawk expansion site in an AutoCAD or ArcGIS compatible format. Exhibit A Agreement No. AG-C-321 Page 1 of 3 • Grette will provide a wetland rating, functional assessment, and determination of buffer widths per current City of Auburn Municipal Code and Ecology specifications for the Goedeke mitigation site and the Mohawk expansion site. Supporting data sheets and rating forms will also be provided. Subtask 2.2 - Mitigation Plan Development The mitigation plan will require detailed construction plans (including grading and excavation requirements, hydrologic design, and maintenance requirements). It is our understanding that a topographic survey of the mitigation site has already been completed. Assumptions: - Grette or the City will provide all topographical information required for developing the mitigation plan. Deliverables: - An electronic (Adobe PDF) and paper copy of the detailed grading plan. Subtask 2.3 - Mitigation Report and Planting Plan Landau Associates will prepare a mitigation report and plan that describes the wetland creation plan proposed as compensation for wetland impacts from the Mohawk project. The mitigation report will include a discussion of wetland impacts, proposed mitigation to compensate for impacts, performance standards, and monitoring and contingency plans. Landau Associates will complete a draft mitigation plan to present to regulatory agencies prior to completion of a final report. This task is necessary in order make sure that all agencies support the plan and to reduce the need for multiple revisions of the agency review drafts prior to acceptance of the final mitigation plan. The planting plan will include a list of appropriate native plant species to use for the mitigation, and other planting specifications such as plant sizes, spacing, and number of plantings. Landau Associates will provide detailed figures showing the location of plant assemblages throughout the mitigation area that can be supplied to a contractor of the City's choice for plant installation. We will prepare detailed mitigation specifications for the contractor to follow in order to ensure proper site preparation, plant quality, and installation. We will also prepare a punch-list of items to be used as a quality assurance checklist that can be signed by the landscape contractor, the Landau Associates' wetland biologist, and the City representative following installation. Assumptions: -This task does not include costs for mitigation installation or monitoring. The City and/or the Corps typically require annual monitoring for five years following mitigation installation. -The Goedeke South parcel site has sufficient area for the required wetland creation (including buffer widths). A licensed landscape architect will not be required to approve the planting and grading plans and specifications. Deliverables: • An electronic (Adobe PDF) and paper copy of the draft mitigation report and plan. • An electronic (Adobe PDF) and paper copy of the final mitigation report and plan. Exhibit A Agreement No. AG-C-321 Page 2 of 3 TASK 3 - PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND MEETINGS Due to the complexity of permitting and the short schedule, it will be important to maintain ongoing coordination with the City and Grette. This task provides time for project management including project set-up, communication, and invoicing. Additionally, this task includes time for up to two meetings with the City and the Corps. Exhibit A Agreement No. AG-C-321 Page 3 of 3 EXHIBIT B FEE SCHEDULE Our services will be provided on a time and expense basis. The estimated fee for the scope of services described above is $21,724. If project requirements change or unforeseen conditions are encountered that require services beyond the scope outlined above, we will bring these to your attention and seek approval for modification to the scope of services and budget, as appropriate. We will not exceed the total estimated fee for our services without prior authorization from the City of Auburn. If the above scope, schedule, and budget are acceptable, please provide us with written authorization.
