Scope of Work OFFICE LOCATIONS WASHINGTON: Bainbridge Island | Bellingham | Olympia | Seattle | Wenatchee | Yakima OREGON: Bend | Portland www.aspectconsulting.com Client: City of Kent-Public Works Attn: Ms. Natesha Hutchison 220 Fourth Ave. S Kent, WA 98032 Date: December 16, 2022 Contract No.: 1 Project No. : 220515 Project Name: Kent Water Quality Monitoring Kent, WA Description of Work Aspect Consulting, LLC (Aspect) has been asked by the City of Kent Public Works (City) to provide water quality monitoring services over a period of up to 2 years. The proposed water quality parameters will allow the City to use Ecology’s water quality index for Mill Creek and also monitor for the presence of metals identified in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Contract duration is anticipated to be 2 years. This project will be completed under the following tasks: Task 1 – Project Startup Task 1 includes the development of a brief sampling plan, a Health and Safety Plan (HASP) and field documentation forms. In addition, Task 1 will cover the initial purchase and assembly of a “field kit” that includes all supplies needed for the sample collection. The sampling plan will be a bulleted summary of the sampling locations, sampling procedures, and equipment needs for each round of sampling. The HASP will include descriptions of safe site access, safe field practices, and nearest emergency services for each sampling site. The field form will include all important information that will be documented during each round of sampling and also serve as a checklist to ensure that field procedures are followed and all sample bottles are filled at each site. The field kit will include all sampling equipment and supplies needed to complete the sampling including, gloves, sample bottles, sampling pole, etc. Task 1 also covers the initial project management and internal coordination to set up the project. Task 1 Deliverables: Brief Sampling Plan Brief HASP Field Form for ambient water quality monitoring Task 2 – Ambient Water Quality Monitoring Task 2 covers the labor and expenses associated with collecting water quality samples from 4 stations in Mill Creek in Kent, Washington. These stations were selected by the City. Samples will be collected roughly once a quarter across a range of flow conditions but will not be specifically targeted at specific flow conditions such as storm runoff or baseflow conditions. Aspect will notify the City before each sample event and after the completion of each event. Each sample event will be a combination of in-situ measurements using a hand-held sonde and grab samples that will be submitted for analysis. EXHIBIT A SOW No. 1 Project No. 220515 Page 2 Sonde Parameters: temperature (C) dissolved oxygen (mg/L) pH turbidity (NTU) Analytical Parameters: arsenic (ug/L) barium (ug/L) cadmium (ug/L) chromium (ug/L) lead (ug/L) mercury (ug/L) selenium (ug/L) silver (ug/L) total phosphorous (mg/L) total kjeldahl nitrogen (mg/L) nitrate + nitrite (mg/L) total suspended solids (mg/L) fecal coliform (CFU/100 ml) 6-PPD-Q Costs for the sample events are presented for a single sample event as well as the total for eight sample events (32 total samples) and include all labor, analytical costs, equipment rental, and expenses. Aspect will contract directly with AmTest Laboratories (AmTest) for the analysis. Assumptions: The City will provide rights-of-entry for the sampling locations and is responsible for ensuring access to the monitoring sites. Aspect is not responsible for lost data or compromised data quality due to inability to access the monitoring site(s). Aspect will notify the City if site access is an issue so that proper access can be provided. All clean sample collection bottles will be provided by AmTest. Aspect will not conduct confined-space entry (CSE) for any sampling under Task 2. Sampling and other field work will not be conducted during hazardous conditions (e.g., lightning, high winds, heavy snow). If hazardous conditions arise, and according to the judgment of Aspect, if beginning or continuing field work would compromise safety, Aspect may temporarily discontinue field operations and notify the City Project Manager. Aspect will typically target sample events that do not require off-hours work unless it becomes apparent that off-hours work is necessary to meet study objectives or schedule. Off-hours work will only occur if mutually agreed upon by Aspect and City project managers. Aspect will collect as many samples as the budget allows. It is estimated that the budget will support eight sample events but if costs exceed the estimate then fewer samples may be collected. Samples for 6-PPD-Q will only be collected annually, rather than quarterly, as directed by the City. Cost estimate includes eight total 6-PPD-Q samples. Sampling days will be coordinated with the City - samples will not be collected during extremely low flows or within 48 hours of anything over a 2-year rain event, unless approved or instructed by the City. Deliverables: SOW No. 1 Project No. 220515 Page 3 Results from AmTest for each completed sample event. Scanned copy of field notes for each event. Task 3 – On-call Sampling Support This task covers any additional monitoring support that is outside of the scope in Task 1. Additional support could include water quality data review and quality control, sampling at additional locations, additional samples or parameters at the routine stations, or other support requested by the City. Work under Task 3 will be at the City’s request and subject to the remaining budget. A reserve budget of $2,000 is set aside for Task 3 under this scope. Assumptions: Coordination, scoping, cost estimating, and planning for requested tasks will be billed for each request from the City. Work under Task 3 will only be performed at City’s request with written approval from the City. Any work performed under task 3 will be completed to the extent the budget allows. Deliverables: TBD Task 4 – Project Management Task 4 covers project coordination, administration, and invoicing. Assumptions: Invoices will only be submitted for months during which sampling occurred. This cost estimate assumes 8 monthly invoices matching the eight anticipated sampling events. Cost Estimate Detail The total budget for this scope of work is $31,986 to be billed on a time-and-material basis in accordance with the attached Schedule of Charges. Please see Table 1 and Table 2 (attached) for cost estimate details.
