Jefferson County 2021 Shoreline Master Program Periodic Review
Background
Jefferson County is embarking on its periodic review update of the County Shoreline
Master Program, due for completion in June 2021. The County desires to have an
updated, revised SMP that complies with all current requirements of the Shoreline
Management Act (SMA). Professional services will assist the County with completing
the updated program in a timely fashion.
A copy of Jefferson County's current SMP is available on the County website:
https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/JeffersonCountv/#!/JeffersonCountyl8/JeffersonCountyl825.ht
ml#18.25
Scope of Services
The County is seeking professional services to assist with tasks associated with
completing the update of SMP Grant tasks, and producing a preliminary draft updated
code for public review, along with completing a SEPA addendum and assisting in
drafting the staff report. The prime objective is to complete an internally consistent and
legally defensible SMP to regulate shoreline development until the next periodic review.
The County has secured a Shorelands Shorelines Master Program Grant Agreement
with the State Department of Ecology. The Consultant's scope of services will be
consistent in part with the Tasks required under that agreement.
The consultant selected will:
• Assist in the preparation of SEPA documents/staff reports associated with the
updated SMP.
• Ecology Grant Agreement Task 3 - Public Participation Plan (prepared by Staff).
Facilitate a local Task Force to include developing a scope of work for the Task
Force focused on code revisions that implement regulatory reform as outlined in
Resolution 17-19 (attached), and specific decision points on important topics and
areas related to shoreline development in Jefferson County. See the attached
potential seating chart of Task Force and Ecology Scope of Work. Work should
not exceed approximately 30 hours of consultant time for Task Force Facilitation.
Ecology Agreement Task 4 — Review SMP and Draft Revisions. Work will be
shared with and coordinated by DCD Staff, reflect the results of Ecology's
Periodic Review Checklist (staff has nearly completed this task), and outcomes
of the work of the Task Force.
Ecology Agreement Task 5 — Final Draft SMP. The consultant will assist DCD
staff in preparation of a Staff Report and Final Draft SMP and will assist staff in
conducting a public hearing to present the Draft SMP to the Planning
Commission, and help develop a recommendation for adoption by the Board of
County Commissioners.
Contract
A professional services agreement will be executed to contract these services and shall
include provisions for:
1. The responsibilities of the County and Consultant
2. Items furnished by the County
3. Reimbursement schedule
4. Assignment and subcontracting
5. Maintain neutrality and independence
6. Insurance
7. Indemnification
Contract Terms: The Consultant will be on a one-year contract not to exceed $40,000k
executed through the Board of County Commissioners. The contract may be amended
by the County, contingent upon additional funding.
Compensation: Applicants are to submit a compensation proposal with their package.
Compensation should include an hourly rate, travel costs, and all other costs that would
be billed to Jefferson County if the applicant's proposal is accepted and memorialized
into a contract.

interviews. It is the County's desire to select a consultant, complete contract
negotiations and execute contract on or by August 24, 2020.

EXHIBIT A
Proiect Understanding
Jefferson County completed a Shoreline Master Program (SMP) Update in 2013. With multiple years' experience
implementing the policies and regulations, Jefferson County is now embarking on the state required periodic
review. The SMP will address recent amendments to the SMA and Ecology rules, ensure consistency with the
comprehensive plan and development regulations, and address changed circumstances, new information, and
improved data. As a key local initiative, the SMP periodic review will address Jefferson County's Regulatory
Reform Program in Resolution 17-19 meant to evaluate development regulations like the SMP in order to reduce
unnecessary complexity, inconsistencies, and unpredictable permitting paths, while continuing to protect public
health and the environment. A task force will be established as a sounding board to help vet and advance the
periodic review. Task force members are likely to include state resource agencies, tribes, ports, environmental and
recreation interests, and citizens from different county regions. The SMP will also undergo legislative review with
the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners.
BERK Consulting, Inc. will serve as prime and support Jefferson County with the periodic review requirements and
public engagement. Shannon & Wilson will provide advice on elements of the periodic review related to biology
and aquatic elements. Collectively the team is called the Consultant in the scope below.
Project Approach
Consistent with the Request for Proposal and the Washington Department of Ecology Shoreline Master Programs
Periodic Review Scope of Work, proposed tasks include:
1. Kick off and Coordination
2. Public Participation
3. Review SMP and Draft Revisions
4. Final Draft SMP and Adoption Process
Each task is described below.
Assumption: Start date is August 10, 2020.
Task 1. Dick off and Coordination
As part of contract scoping the Consultant will confirm project goals, public participation objectives, task force
formation and schedule, progress in the SMP gap analysis, and potential topics for County -Consultant coordination.
A formal kick off of the project will include a public open house sponsored by the Planning Commission held
virtually by Teams or Zoom or a similar platform. See Task 2.
On an on -going basis, the Consultant will coordinate regularly with County staff and set up regular points of
contact such as a bi-weekly call. The Consultant will design regular monthly progress reports to support County
staff preparation of Ecology progress reports.
Task 2. Public Participation
Public engagement in the review of the SMP is a key component of a successful process. WAC 173-26-090
requires both public engagement and the issuance of a Public Participation Plan. County staff will prepare the
plan, and the Consultant will peer review it.
As part of the initial phase of the SMP Periodic review the Consultant will peer review the County's draft public
survey and offer advice on the survey questions. The Consultant will help plan and facilitate a public open house
sponsored by the Planning Commission, held virtually by Zoom, Teams, or a similar platform. The Consultant will
develop a story map or equivalent online map and information supporting the Open House.
The Consultant will also support County staff and a Task Force charged with developing a scoping document that
meets periodic review requirements and addresses lessons learned in permit reviews and address regulatory
reform as outlined in Resolution 17-19. The scope and level of effort anticipate 4-6 meetings of a Regulatory
Reform Task Force via a virtual platform such as Teams or Zoom or similar.
The Consultant will support the County's approach to conducting the joint County -Ecology review process as
authorized under WAC 173-26-104. This process offers joint review, notice, and comment procedures that can
facilitate the adoption process.
The Consultant will prepare a fact sheet or a flier to support the open house or another engagement effort at the
request of the County.
Task 3. Review Shoreline Master Program and Draft
Revisions
The Consultant will work with County staff to identify SMP topics that will be shared with and coordinated by
County Staff in response to the County's Periodic Review Checklist evaluation, and to advance the Task Force work
plan. The Consultant will peer review County prepared SMP elements. For topics assigned to the Consultant team,
we can prepare issues and options papers describing any SMP implementation obstacles, example policy and text
options to address the obstacles, and draft text amendments. The issues and options papers can describe case
studies to illustrate different alternative approaches and feasibility. The Consultant will advise County GIS staff on
potential common issues with changes in underlying data used to establish original shoreline jurisdiction, if
applicable, and review County GIS prepared maps as appropriate.

Task 4. Final Draft Shoreline Master Program and

This includes completion of a SEPA checklist and draft determination for County review. The Consultant will peer
review the County's draft staff report addressing SMP amendment criteria and findings.
