Page 19 of 59 <br /> <br />City of Everett Merrill & Ring Bridge Replacement <br />x No City preapplication meetings will be scheduled or conducted by the CONSULTANT. <br />SEPA submittal and feedback with Everett will be assumed to be handled by Citystaff <br />along with clarification of any local City of Everett permit needs. <br />x Perteet may provide information to the City for the City to complete any required local <br />land use development permit applications required for the PROJECT and with available <br />information to the CONSULTANT under other scope items. <br />x City staff will be responsible for local City of Everett permit submittals and obtaining <br />City permits and reviews related to any required development permit applications <br />including administrative review, grading, site plan review, right-of-way use, and other <br />related permits as required. <br />x Perteet preparation of a draft and final SEPA checklist is budgeted under this task. <br />x Federal funding will require compliance with WSDOT NEPA. A NEPA CE is assumed <br />to be the appropriate level of NEPA determination. A Preliminary and Final NEPA CE <br />Documentation Form will be completed by Perteet for City submittal to WSDOT. <br />x Under NEPA, the PROJECT will require Section 106 review under the National Historic <br />Preservation Act according to Appendix J, Exhibit B of the October 2018 version of the <br />WSDOT CE Guidebook (A-6). A Cultural Resources APE Memo and a Cultural <br />Resources Survey inclusive of existing bridge documentation will be prepared by Perteet <br />for WSDOT review and coordination. The bridge is assumed to require architectural <br />historical review due to the construction type and will be confirmed. An architectural <br />historical review of the bridge structure is assessment and budgeted to be conducted by a <br />subconsultant under this task. <br />x Endangered Species Act compliance is assumed demonstrated as “No Effect” through use <br />of: 1) the WSDOT NEPA CE form checklist, through 4(d) maintenance program <br />provisions; 2) through avoidance of any direct in-water work or any direct wetland <br />impacts; and 3) through avoidance of other impacts that may trigger Federal Formal ESA <br />Consultation. A Biological Assessment for Formal Section 7 ESA Consultation is <br />therefore not assumed or known to be needed at this time. Avoidance of impacts to <br />wetlands or Merrill & Ring Creek and avoiding triggers for Formal ESA consultation is a <br />primary project objective. If future impacts to wetlands, stream, or other features become <br />known and unavoidable during the design project, a supplemental scope, fee, and project <br />delivery schedule will be necessary to consider ESA Consultation and other permits. <br />These or other ESA triggers may require Formal ESA Consultation – which can take a <br />year or more to complete with more extensive documentation. <br />x An Environmental Justice screening will be conducted and avoidance of adverse EJ <br />effects is assumed to be demonstrated as “no impact to protected populations” through <br />use of the WSDOT CE form and a provided EJ Technical Memo, and as related to <br />outreach efforts to be coordinated and provided by others. Two sources of demographic <br />data (per WSDOT requirements) will be compiled in a technical memo by Perteet to <br />demonstrate no disproportionate impacts will occur to protected populations in the
