SCOPE OF WORK
In order to meet the anticipated compensatory wetland mitigation requirements of the City of Kent Public
Works(hereafter CITY) Mill Creek Reestablishment Project, Natural Systems Design(hereafter NSD)will
prepare 3o%design plan set and a corresponding Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan(HMMP)document
for the City-owned 2i-acre Frankford site(King County parcel #2632000207;intersection of S.2i21h St and S
2i61h St). NSD will also research and evaluation the site potential of the privately owned,approximately i0.2-
acre Matelich site(King County parcel#2222049029;east of SR5i6 and west of Frager Road South)to
support wetland stream restoration.
This scope of work has been drafted per coordination between the CITY and NSD on April 8 and 9,2019 and
describes the basic technical services to be completed by NSD to support development of mitigation design
sufficient to support JARPA application for an Individual Clean Water Act Section 404 permit for the Mill
Creek Reestablishment Project. It is our understanding that the CITY is determining avoidance,minimization,
and impacts to wetlands and waters. NSD understands that the CITY seeks to maximize the acres of
mitigation credit available at each site. We will work with the City to achieve that goal, but cannot guarantee
that either or both sites will be be sufficient mitigation for the Mill Creek Enhancement Project impacts.
TASK 1. FRANKFORD MITIGATION SITE
SUBTASK 1.1: SITE VISIT, BASELINE AND REFERENCE CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT
NSD will review and compile background information to understand existing conditions at the Frankford
property and its connections to the adjacent City-owned wetland north of South 2i2th Street.This includes,
but is not limited to, review of the ICF delineation report,soils inventory,private development mitigation site
as-builts for southern portion of the site, and hydrologic data from piezometers installed in the wetland
north of S.2i21h Street. Publicly available topographic data will be compiled and evaluated for use.
Information gathered during this task will be used to identify data gaps to be filled during the site
assessment.
After completion of the background review, NSD will perform a one-day field site assessment to collect key
site information and increase our understanding of how the site is currently functioning. The primary
aspects of the field reconnaissance will be to review hydrologic pathways and vegetation communities to
inform conceptual wetland enhancement design(e.g.culverts,depressions,native vegetation communities).
Historical pre-disturbance conditions will be characterized based on observations for adjacent wetland
areas,air photos and reference literature.The evolution of the site over the record of available historic air
photos will be considered in context with anthropogenic disturbances occurring within the watershed.The
current conditions will be characterized using the most recent air photos available,2016 LiDAR topography,
and data collected during the field reconnaissance.The analysis will be included in the HMMP in Task i.3.
Based on the understanding thus gained, NSD will draft a wetland enhancement concept(per Task i.2).
Assumptions
1. CITY will provide NSD with ICF delineation report,as-built plans,and piezometer data.
2. Field site assessment will occur after background data are provided and reviewed.
3. Site conditions are such that field site assessment can be accomplished in one field day,including
travel,for the project ecologists.
Deliverables:
► None included with this task.

City of Kent, WA I Frankford and Matelich Page 3
SUBTASK 1.2: CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PLAN SHEET AND MITIGATION STATEMENT SUPPORT
NSD understands that the CITY seeks to maximize the acres of mitigation credit available. NSD will
collaborate with the CITY to refine objectives and design criteria based on key findings from Task 1.1. NSD will
submit updated project goals and specific restoration objectives for review by the CITY.These goals and
objectives will provide the guidance for the development of the conceptual plans.
The ability of the site to sustain forested and/or scrub-shrub wetland communities with typical mitigation site
maintenance and associated costs will be considered,as well as wetland habitats which appropriately
mitigate for the project impacts will be key elements of the conceptual design. Maintenance and access
issues/requirements will also be identified.
NSD will develop a conceptual design plan and associated conceptual level construction cost estimate that
includes proposed wetland enhancement actions,their locations,dimensions,and intent toward achieving
the project goals and objectives.
NSD will present the conceptual design plan to the CITY for review and approval before advancing to Task
1.3. Following review and comment by the CITY, NSD will prepare a summary outlining the criteria upon
which the design was based and will support the CITY in preparing a`complete mitigation statement'.The
statement will support the CITY's JARPA and will include a statement of why offsite mitigation is
appropriate,the functional lift expected from the mitigation site,and the basic acres and type of mitigation
proposed at the site.The contents of this statement will be integrated into the Habitat Mitigation and
Monitoring Plan document prepared in Task 1.3.
Assumptions
1. CITY will provide CITY template for CAD standards within two weeks of notice to proceed.
2. The existing wetland is Category II,per Kent Municipal Code ii.o6.58o,and thus will require an
enhanced quality`paper buffer'surrounding the enhanced portion of the wetland.
a. NSD will develop the design consistent with these expectations,and consistent with the
anticipation that impact reduction measures per KMC 11.o6.600.C2 will support a buffer of 75-
175 feet(depending on habitat points from the ICF wetland rating form).
3. LIDAR from WDNR LIDAR portal and/or Puget Sound LIDAR Consortium will be used to create the
surface for the conceptual design.
4. No grading is anticipated at this site.
5. Habitat structures(snags,downed wood debris)to improve the wetland habitat function and
provide functional lift are anticipated.
6. Conceptual design will be plan view representation of the proposed design,with typical/detail of
planting zones and habitat structures.
7. One conceptual design plan sheet will be produced in CAD and delivered as 11"x 17"format PDF,for
one round of CITY review and consolidated comments;conflicting comments will be resolved by the
CITY prior to transmittal to NSD.
8. One conceptual design review conference call with CITY or meeting held at NSD's Seattle office;2-
hour duration for project ecologist and engineer.
Deliverables
► Conceptual design drawing, plan view and typical/detail delivered as 11"x 17"format PDFs
► Conceptual construction cost estimate delivered as EXCEL file

► Brief zpg technical memorandum summarizing the goals,objectives,design criteria,and mitigation
statement information to support the conceptual plan.
SUBTASK 1.3: 30% DESIGN PLAN SET AND DRAFT HABITAT MITIGATION AND MONITORING
PLAN DOCUMENT
Following CITY review and approval, NSD will advance the approved conceptual design(Task i.z)to develop
a preliminarY/30%level design plan set,and will prepare a Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan(HMMP)
document consistent in content with Kent Municipal Code requirements for wetland enhancement
(ii.o6.660.C3).as well as Ecology and Corps requirements for mitigation plan contents.
Area/extent of site preparation and planting zones will be presented and described,site preparation work to
address reed canarygrass will be specified,and material quantities and construction techniques with
associated access and delivery considerations will be included. NSD will complete a functional lift analysis of
the proposed mitigation plan based on the ICF wetland delineation and ratings for inclusion in the HMMP.
The HMMP will also include performance standards for a io-year performance monitoring period.
NSD will develop a preliminary construction cost estimate based on the final preliminarY/3o%design plan set.
The cost estimate will be developed to a preliminary level with associated contingency levels. A cost
estimate inclusive of site protection, maintenance,and monitoring will be included in the HMMP.
Assumptions

control services for this work. For activities covered by this scope of work, NSD shall work closely with the
CITY and to meet the goals and objectives of the work assignment. NSD will coordinate its activities with the
CITY's project manager to ensure that NSD's activities do not duplicate or conflict with other consultant or
CITY activities.
Assumptions
1. Project management will entail approximately 1 hour per month for invoicing and budget
management and approximately 3 hours per month of coordination with the City by phone or
email.
2. Task 1 will extend between primarily between May 2019 and July 2019(3 months)and will
culminate in the CITY's JARPA submittal to the Corps/Ecology/WDFW.Contract would remain
open until December 31,2020 per City request.
Deliverables
► Monthly invoices
► Email and telephone meeting notes(if requested)
TASK 2: MATELICH MITIGATION SITE VIABILITY ASSESSMENT
The CITY has not yet determined if the Matelich property is a viable site for acquisition and mitigation. NSD
would support the CITY in considering site viability prior to property purchase by analyzing the conditions in
and around Midway Creek and its associated wetlands upstream and downstream of the Matelich site. If our
initial site assessment indicates there are significant constraints which would limit the viability of wetland
mitigation at this site,we would advise the CITY and terminate work on this task.
SUBTASK 2.1: SITE VISIT, BASELINE CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT, SITE VIABILITY ASSESSMENT
NSD will review and compile background information to understand existing conditions approximately io.z-
acre Matelich site,privately owned,(King County parcel#2222049029;east of SR516 and west of Frager
Road South).This includes, but is not limited to,review of the ICF delineation report, soils inventory,
hydrologic data from monitoring well on site,and landscape context information that can be derived from
publicly available sources. LIDAR topographic data will be compiled and evaluated for use. Information
gathered during this task will be used to identify data gaps which would need to be filled to prepare a
mitigation design for the site.
After completion of the background review, NSD hydrologist and senior ecologists will perform a one-day
site investigation to collect key site information and increase our understanding of how the site is currently
functioning. The primary aspects of the field investigation will be to review hydrologic pathways and
vegetation communities and to collect existing conditions information at key locations(i.e.fill areas;water
quality indicators in the wetland)to inform the viability assessment.As part of this task, NSD will evaluate
the potential need for a hydrologic and hydraulic model of Midway Creek for potential mitigation site design.
It appears that the portion of Frager Road South north of the Matelich site is not assessible by vehicle
(Seattle Public Utilities ownership, bollards in road visible on GoogleEarth). Understanding the conditions at
the downstream culvert and confluence of Midway Creek with the Green River, both of which are located
within SPU parcel#0002000001,is important to understanding the site potential of the Matelich property.

City of Kent, WA I Frankford and Matelich Page 7
NSD will work with the City to determine if SPU will grant pedestrian access along Frager Road South and
allow NSD staff to view the downstream culvert and confluence of the creek with the Green River.
Historical pre-disturbance conditions will be characterized based on observations for adjacent wetland
areas,air photos and reference literature.The evolution of the site over the record of available historic air
photos will be considered in context with anthropogenic disturbances occurring within the watershed.The
current conditions will be characterized using the most recent air photos available,2o16 LiDAR topography,
and data collected during the site visit.
NSD's viability analysis will be presented in a short technical memo summarizing the research results,data
gaps,opportunitites and constraints, and presenting NSD's best professional judgement regarding the
viability of the site for compensatory wetland mitigation and the tasks and level of effort needed to create a
3o%design.
Assumptions
1. CITY will provide NSD with ICF delineation report, monitoring well data, Phase 1/2 site assessment
report,and any other information readily available regarding Midway Landfill and Midway Creek.
z. Field site investigation will occur after background data are provided and reviewed.
3. CITY will coordinate access to the Matelich site and coordinate with SPU if necessary to secure
access along Frager Road to downstream culvert and the Midway Creek confluence with the
Green River.
4. Site conditions are such that field site visit can be accomplished in one field day, including travel,
for project ecologists and hydrologist.
Deliverables:
/ Summary memo presenting site viability assessment.
COST ESTIMATE
This project budget represents our knowledge of the work already completed, best understanding of the
requested project elements,and accompanying assumptions articulated herein. For the scope of services
described above,we estimate that our total fee will be completed on a time and materials basis.
Estimated costs for the tasks described in this Scope of Work are outlined in Tables 1 and z based on the
assumptions described above and estimated level of effort given the limited information known to NSD
regarding these two sites at the time of this contract. It is our understanding that the necessary funds are
available for this project and that these funds are committed to the project upon execution of this
agreement
NSD will invoice on a Time and Materials basis,not to exceed the contract total,and may move resources
between tasks within the contract amount to accomplish the scope of work and as necessary and
appropriate to the work requested. NSD will coordinate with CITY on any substantive differences in actual
level of effort for the tasks included herein,compared to that anticipated in the cost estimate.

Authorize
MOTION: Authorize the Mayor to sign a Consultant Services Agreement
with Natural Systems Design, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $92,495.00,
for the design of Mill Creek Reestablishment Project mitigation plans
subject to final terms and conditions acceptable to the City Attorney and
Public Works Director.
SUMMARY: The Mill Creek Reestablishment Project ("Project") includes removing
accumulated sediment from Mill Creek in order to restore the creek. Accumulated
sediments have filled in the creek channel at depths of up to five feet over the past
three decades. The creek was dredged and maintained regularly until the 1980s
when permitting made creek maintenance difficult and expensive. Accumulated
sediment has exacerbated flooding problems in the Kent Valley.
In order to submit environmental permits for this project, regulators require a
mitigation plan for project impacts to wetlands and wetland buffers. This consultant
contract will provide the mitigation design necessary to submit the permit.
BUDGET IMPACT: Stormwater Utility Fund - budgeted expenditure.
