2008/07/02 Council Agenda Packet

EXHIBIT A-2 SCOPE OF WORK TASK 15—PERMIT SUPPORT URS will assist the City by producing a draft Joint Aquatic Resource Permit Application (JARPA) form for the City to review, edit and submit to the resource agencies. URS will also prepare JARPA graphics for the submittal, as needed. Due to the impacts of the open cut replacement, it is assumed that a Formal Consultation will be required by the agencies. URS will assist the City in preparing for Formal Consultation by preparing necessary documents, including an alternatives analysis,habitat function assessment, and mitigation plan. Additionally, the biological assessment will be revised to reflect the open cut project impacts. It is assumed that the wetland delineation report completed for the overhead replacement, and the cultural resources investigation completed for the HDD pre-design, will not need to be updated. URS will support the City as needed to answer agency questions, attend permit meetings and respond to permit submittal comments. It was assumed that a total of 60 hours of support will be needed to obtain project permits. URS will work with the City to review the permit needs to ensure that the permit processes are integrated so as to not delay the project schedule. TASK 16—MEETINGS URS will attend design review meetings at the City's office in Everett. These meetings will be attended by the Project Manager (PM), Carla Talich, and key designers including John Gillespie, Becca Loveday, and other engineers or scientists as appropriate. URS anticipates up to three meetings, including: • Kick-off meeting to discuss project requirements and design approach • 60% (or preliminary) design review to finalize concepts and drawing layouts • 95% (or final) design review of plans, specifications,project manual, and cost estimate URS will send draft work products and an agenda to the City before each meeting so that the meetings can be more efficient and productive. URS will prepare meeting notes,distribute them for review, and finalize them after the receipt of comments. These submittals will be electronic. TASK 17 —UNDEFINED SERVICES As it is difficult to accurately predict all issues that may arise during the design, Task 17 is included to provide a contingency fund for unanticipated and unidentified work. It is specifically intended to allow payment to URS under this contract for scope changes that the City determines to be necessary. Funds for this task will not be used without prior written approval from the City. ,1 v `7C Page 9 of 10
