P a g e | 1 Fish Passage Barrier Inventory and Assessments Program EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF WORK Project Name: Fish Passage Barrier Inventory and Assessments Program Client: City of Everett Prime Consultant: Osborn Consulting Inc. Contract Number: BACKGROUND In 2023 the City of Everett assessed and characterized their fish passage related assets on fish bearing streams for complexity. They defined “complex” structures as those that cannot be assessed using the standard Level A assessment or Level B analysis protocols from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Fish Passage Inventory, Assessment, and Prioritization Manual (WDFW, 2019b). From this inventory, the City identified 78 sites that were categorized as “complex” in that these sites involve but are not limited to: long culverts, presence of catch basins, multiple connected pipe networks and/or stormwater systems. The majority of these sites although not directly conveying a mainstem stream, are closely connected to a mainstem fish-bearing stream and therefore have potential for fish use. The City of Everett is contracting Osborn Consulting Inc. (Osborn) to further evaluate these “complex” crossings and assess their fish passage barrier status, according to WDFW’s Fish Passage Inventory, Assessment, and Prioritization Manual where possible. Osborn plans to identify approaches to analyze these complex culverts and evaluate a subset to determine barrier status.
