EA Blumen, hereinafter referred to as CONSULTANT, and JEFFERSON COUNTY,
a municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as COUNTY, in consideration of the

On January 28, 2008, the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners approved an
amendment to the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan designating approximately 256
acres in the Pleasant Harbor and Black Point areas as a Master Planned Resort. Jefferson
County has determined that a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (or "SEIS")
in accordance with the State Environmental Policy Act, and a development agreement
and development regulations are required as the Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort
moves to final plat, building permits and, ultimately, occupancy. This Project (Project)
is proposed by Pleasant Harbor Marina & Golf Resort, LLP (hereinafter "APPLICANT")
to be constructed within unincorporated Jefferson County.
II.
Pursuant to Jefferson County Code 3.55.060, the CONSULTANT has been

the COUNTY in preparing a development agreement and development regulations. The

that degree of timeliness, care and skill ordinarily exercised under similar conditions by
professional consultants practicing in the same discipline at the same time and location.
No warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, is made or intended by this Agreement,
or by any report, opinion, or other Instrument of Services provided pursuant to this
Agreement. The CONSULTANT shall utilize materials and data contained in the
County's project application files and/or provided by the APPLICANT'S consultant, and
avoid duplication, redundancy or unnecessary original generation of data, narrative or
format while preparing the SEIS to ensure consistency with SEPA requirements, the
Jefferson County Code, the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan, and development
conditions established by the Jefferson County Commissioners in Ordinance 01-0128-08
(January 2008) approving a Comprehensive Plan amendment establishing the Master
Planned Resort designation.
The CONSULTANT may retain and hire subconsultants to perform a portion of
the work that is the subject of this Agreement.
County/EA Blumen October 2012
The CONSULTANT enters into this agreement with the understanding that the
APPLICANT agrees to cooperate with the CONSULTANT in preparing the necessary
products under the direction of the COUNTY and to pay the reasonable costs of having

CONSULTANT'S scope of work, budget, or schedule (see attachment A), and if unable
to participate the DEPARTMENT shall be informed in writing of the substance of any
such communications within seven (7) days of the communication. No substantive
decisions shall be made at these meetings without County approval. The DEPARTMENT
refers collectively to the Project Planner, SEPA Responsible Official and Director of

The CONSULTANT is solely responsible for obtaining and retaining the
personnel with the necessary skills and expertise it needs in order for it to perform its
obligations as listed in this Agreement.

overruns are anticipated in any line item the Consultant shall provide reasons for the
anticipated cost overruns. Consultant will obtain written approval from APPLICANT for
any cost overruns it anticipates occurring or which have occurred.

disseminated without prior COUNTY approval as long as the documents go to all the

terminated. Upon sixty (60) days' notice the COUNTY may terminate this Agreement for
any reason. The right to terminate the Agreement upon 60 days' notice to the other party

renegotiation, and CONSULTANT and COUNTY shall promptly and in good faith enter
into renegotiation of this Agreement to address the changed conditions.

Agreement for an Applicant to Pay for Preparation of an SEIS
ANALYSIS/STRATEGIC GOALS/PROS and CONS:
Ordinance No. 01-0128-08 approved by the BoCC January 28, 2008 necessitated the completion
of an SEIS as required for project level SEPA analysis pursuant to RCW43.21C. Originally, the
Applicant hired a consultant to draft the SEIS who subsequently resigned in April 2011. At that
point, former DCD Director, Al Scalf instructed staff to draft the SEIS "in-house" once the final
technical reports had been completed. Shortly after arriving in May, 2012, DCD Director Carl
Smith determined the SEIS should be completed by a qualified third party consultant with
expertise in that field. Staff initiated a search for a consultant in July, 2012, selecting EA Blumen
of Seattle. With approval by the Applicant after contract negotiations, the Board must complete
the process by signing the subject contracts for the County.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
In concert with Consultant's contract, the County will enter into another "pass -through" Contract
with the Applicant whereby the Consultant bills the County, the County bills the Applicant, the
Applicant pays the County and the County pays the Consultant. Staff time to process the
contracts and manage the project are billed to the Applicant on an hourly basis. There is no direct
cost to the County.
RECOMMENDATION:
DCD recommends the Board of County Commissioners:
1. Sign the Professional Services Agreement for Preparation of an SEIS.
2. Sign the Agreement for an Applicant to Pay for Preparation of an SEIS
