2025/06/04 Council Agenda Packet

Exhibit A (Scope of Work) o through avoidance/minimization of any direct in-water work or any direct wetland impacts; and o through avoidance of other impacts that may trigger Federal Formal ESA Consultation. A Biological Assessment for Formal Section 7 ESA Consultation is therefore not assumed or known to be needed at this time. Avoidance/minimization of impacts to wetlands or Pigeon Creek 2 and avoiding triggers for Formal ESA consultation is a primary project objective. If additional documentation is requested by regulatory agencies during the design project, a supplemental scope, fee, and project delivery schedule will be prepared. o A Letter of No Effect for ESA-listed species administered by the USFWS will be prepared to WSDOT standards. • The Wetland and Stream Delineation and Wildlife Habitat Assessment Report completed under Task 4.1 will be provided for NEPA documentation that will describe natural environment conditions (wetland, streams, wildlife habitat) for the bridge site associated with Pigeon Creek 2 along with the methods and findings of the delineation work. The site has not been accessed, and no wetlands are known to occur in the work areas at the time of scope preparation. A detailed site reconnaissance must be conducted, and all potential work areas must be confirmed. Furthermore, for the purpose of this scope, direct in-water and instream work in Pigeon Creek 2 and wetland work/impacts are assumed to occur. Delineation field work and the project action will be limited to occur on City owned property and/or right-of-entry will have been approved by others prior to initiating any Consultant field work in Task 4.1 and no subsequent delineation efforts are assumed in this task. Temporary project-related vegetation disturbance impacts to the riparian buffer of Pigeon Creek 2 are assumed and will be described and addressed with a draft impacts assessment and vegetation restoration plan (e.g., mitigation and monitoring plan) in Task 4.3. Wetland and stream impacts are anticipated due to the nature of the project. • A Hazardous Materials Technical Memo will be provided by the CONSULTANT to identify and describe work location, and any identified hazardous materials risks based on WSDOT hazmat screening requirements. A full Phase One Environmental Site Assessment or other hazmat investigations or cleanup actions are not assumed under this task. • Consultant will coordinate with the City follow-up to WSDOT LPE approximately every 2-3 weeks after NEPA submittals to facilitate reviews. It is assumed the City will prepare information to submit the Preliminary CE form to WSDOT at or near the completion date of the 30% PSE and the Final CE form will be submitted to WSDOT by the City at or after 60%PS&E submittal. • 4(f) compliance is expected to require either a temporary occupancy form or signed de minimis declaration using WSDOT’s forms. Consultant will prepare the 4(f) compliance form and route for signatures. The City will work with the City’s Parks Department to obtain approval of use of the parklands for 4(f) compliance.
