4 Category 2: Sensitive information Category 2: For official use only / disclosure permissible by law. Phase I 1-A Review, Research and Development of Standard Operating Guidelines. The Consultant will review all the existing examples of policies, procedures, protocol, Directives, Memoranda of Understanding, and any other documents of practices relevant to the City Watershed operations, specifically those affecting Watershed Patrol Officers and other field operations staff. The Consultant will provide suggested modifications to identify the above to identify them as pertaining to the City of Everett Watershed Patrol Officers, and further modify as necessary the review items above in order to mitigate, eliminate or transfer risk. A list of suggested additional policies, procedures, etc., will be provided, and suggested “best practice” elements identified, offered and encouraged. All of the above will be carried out in consideration of the guiding principles of the Everett City Watershed Department, a division of the Public Works Department, as well as the City of Everett Municipal Code related to various areas of conduct, authority and jurisdiction; the Revised Code of Washington; and Federal law as it may apply. Finally, after review is conducted and drafts have been reviewed, completed and submitted back to the Consultant, a finalized Standard Operating Guidelines document will be assembled and provided. It is anticipated that there will be approximately forty-five (45) Standard Operating Guidelines to create initially. Other SOGs above 45 may be added at the same unit cost if desired. Method: The draft SOGs are predicted to fall into three general categories: 1. Pre-existing drafts for other entities that have been reviewed before, which will only require minor changes and adaptation to Watershed Patrol; 2. SOGs which exist but have not been received prior consultant review; and 3. Subject matter or practices requiring creation of a SOG, but none currently exist. a. The suggested work flow for this activity is: Identification (of desired guideline) – Research/Update—Revision of existing SOP (if available)—Create First Draft— Submit First Draft to Anna for Review—Anna returns marked-up First Draft – Consultant incorporates revision into final Standard Operating Guideline. 1-B Development of a “Checklist” of Watershed Patrol Officer Operational “Best Practices”(OPTIONAL).
