The scope of work and budget also include landscape specifications for the forested swamp area north of S.E. 284th Street , construction supervision during the fall of 1989, and three years of landscape monitoring beginning in 1990. It is our understanding that these work items are not covered in our existing agreement and will be handled as an amendment to our existing contract for the Kent Springs Water Transmission Main Environmental Checklist. If the enclosed scope of work and budget of $7,598, inclusive of all costs and taxes, meet with your approval , please sign both copies of this letter and send one copy back to me so that it may become an amendment to our contract. We look forward to completing work on the enhancement plan and landscape specifications, and can deliver the final plan and specifications immediately upon return of the written contract. Thank you again for the opportunity to work with you on this project! Sincerely, SH�APIRO AND ASSOCIATES, INC. 4 Keith R.

Si gned `ram Signed Title Mayor Title y/�, A.,h t Date 9/29/88 Date 9Ivy Approved as to form: September 19, 1988 SCOPE OF WORK KENT SPRINGS WATER TRANSMISSION MAIN ENHANCEMENT PLAN AND LANDSCAPE SPECIFICATIONS Project Background Review This project phase will involve a review of all current documents and design parameters relating to the project. All SHAPIRO personnel involved in the production of the final enhancement plan will be brought up-to-date on the project. Site Visit Site visits to identify specific design parameters will be made to allow for the highest level of accuracy in the final construction drawing. Coordination with City and Property Owners To coordinate any citizen concerns regarding this project, coordination between SHAPIRO, the City of Kent , and property owners adjacent to transmis- sion main right-of-way will be necessary. This should ensure that the concerns of individuals are incorporated into the planting design. Landscape Plan A detailed planting plan, upon review and approval by the City, will be produced as a construction contract document. This plan, in combination with a written document (see Plan Specifications, next section) , will con- tain all pertinent information necessary for landscape contractors to bid on the project. It is the intent that the planting plan will specify restora- tion and mitigation plantings for the area referred to as the "S.E. 274th Street Pond" in Figure A-2 of the Kent Springs Water Transmission Main Rebuild Environmental Checklist by Shapiro and Associates, Inc. for the City of Kent Engineering Department) , dated March, 1988. The plan will not portray plantings for any other areas impacted by the laying of the water main. Plan Specifications A written document will accompany the planting plan and will include specific information relative to the implementation of the plan. The text will include, but not be limited to, sections specifying (1 ) the scheduling of planting construction activities; (2) planting techniques to be used; 3) quality controls guidelines for plant material and contractor performance; (4) project phases requiring supervision from SHAPIRO: (5) soil amendments to be used; and (6) planting maintenance recommendations. In addition, a discussion will be given of planting techniques and plant material recommended for the restoration of forested areas (away from the pond area and north of S.E 284th Street) impacted by the placement of the main. It is our understanding that the responsibility for all landscape contract bid administration, negotiations , and contractor selection is the responsibility of the City of Kent. Construction Supervision There are several stages during the implementation of the planting plan where construction supervision by SHAPIRO will be benefitial to the success of the project. Such stages will include the approval of plant material and planting locations prior to planting. Construction supervision shall include interaction between SHAPIRO and the contractor regarding appropriate planting techniques for emergent vegetation in the ponds. Project Monitoring The project is proposed for monitoring for three years , beginning in 1990, to evaluate the success of the mitigation planting plan. Such monitoring will evaluate the development of the plantings relative to the goals established in the design of the planting plan. Recommendations will result from the monitoring and will propose to correct any problems with the plantings which may be identified. Administration and Review Administration includes general and administrative services, project tracking, progress reports , invoices , coordination between the Client and SHAPIRO staff, and meetings with the Client in order to allow the project to function and flow in a timely fashion. Review time includes review by the principal-in-charge and project manager to ensure a complete and quality product.
