Exhibit A
Scope of Work
The Contractor will provide a range of outreach, education and professional services leading to a
resiliency plan and conceptual designs for salmon habitat improvements in the Rocky Brook to
Jupiter Bridge Reach and a preliminary design for salmon habitat improvements and associated
permitting documents for the Powerlines Reach of the Dosewallips River. Work performed for each
site will be separated into individual tasks specific to each project reach as outlined below and in
Exhibit B.
Rocky Brook to Jupiter Bridge Reach (Rocky Brook Reach)
The Contractor will characterize the geomorphic,habitat, and hydraulic conditions of the reach,
produce a Resiliency plan document, develop two conceptual designs to restore habitat for Hood
Canal sunTlmer chum and Chinook salmon,and engage with landowners and other project
stakeholders. The scope of work related to Rocky Brook is broken down into the following tasks:
Task 1: Rocky Brook-Existing Conditions Assessment
Task 2: Rocky Brook-Resiliency plan
Task 3: Rocky Brook-Conceptual Design
Task 4: Rocky Brook- Stakeholder Outreach
Task 1: Rocky Brook-Existing Conditions Assessment
The existing conditions assessment will focus on gaining an understanding of the current
geomorphic,liabitat, and hydraulic conditions pi'the reach to understand how the site setting and
land use history inform current site conditions,habitat limiting factors for Hood Canal Summer
Chum and Mid Hood Canal Chinook,and influence flooding and erosion risk for the surrounding
community.
Task Ua Background Data Collection and Field Reconnaissance
Contractor will review the available background data including:
• Recent and past topography of the site (e.g. 2005 and 2019 LiDAR Digital Elevation
Models)
+� Recent and past aerial imagery of the site(e.g.USGS Earth Explorer,NAIP,Google Earth)
• FEMA flood maps
• Channel migration zone delineations (Klawon, 2004)
• Geologic maps of the project area(e.g. Washington Department of Natural Resources;
Jefferson County Landslide Risk maps)
• Existing publicly available infrastructure and land-use information(e.g. Property ownership,
roads, utilities)
• Existing recreational river usage within the reach based upon available information from
fishing and boating websites or other previous studies.
Dosewallips River: Rocky Brook and Powerlines Reach Habitat Restoration Designs
Professional Services Agreement Template,JCPH,Version 3,PAO Approved 7/12/2021 Page 13 of25
• Results for past habitat assessments and limiting factors analyses(e.g. Meridian,2020;
Labbe,2005; WDFW fish distributions; Hood Canal Summer Chum and Chinook recovery
plans; Correa,2003; Hood Canal Stream Habitat Surveys Report Memo 11-11-2020)
Task 1.1b Contractor will map land ownership, land use, and recreational resources from the
available background data.
Task 1.1c Contractor will develop a field reconnaissance plan to facilitate collection of data within
portions of the project reach that are publicly owned or within private properties where landowners
have granted access to the field team.
Task l.ld Field Reconnaissance:
Contractor will conduct data-collection reconnaissance of the project area over a two(2)days. In
the circumstance that portions of the reach are unable to be accessed in the field, Contractor will
utilize the understanding gained during the desktop assessment, combined with field observations,
to inform understanding of the entire project reach.
Task 1.2 Data Analysis, Habitat Assessment and Hydraulic Model
Following background and field data collection,the Contractor will compile the data to complete
the following analyses:
Task 1.2a Topography
Contractor will compile LiDAR into an updated composite topographic surface and generate a
Relative Elevation Model (REM) of the project reach.
Task 1.2b Channel Migration Zone delineation
The delineation of channel migration zones(CMZs),which are defined as all areas susceptible to
bank erosion by streams and rivers within the next 100 years, is an essential step to understanding
where landowners and infrastructure are relative to erosion risk. Contractor will map the"high",
"medium",and"low"hazard zones based on the analysis of river erosion rates over time.
Task 1.2c Hydraulic.Modeling
Contractor will complete an assessment of basin hydrology within the project area to assess both
peak flows and smaller, more.frequent floes that influence salmonid habitat conditions in the reach.
An assessment of anticipated mid-century (2050) Mows under current climate change predictions
will also be included. A 2-dimensional hydraulic model will be developed using the channel and
floodplain topography to evaluate channel-floodplain connectivity, inundation extents,instream
velocities and shear stresses. and to inform the local risk of flooding.
• Contractor will model selected flows under both the current and mid-century(2050) flow
regimes. Four(4) flow events will be selected with two flows focusing on more.frequent
discharges that are tied to key saltnonid life history states,and two flows focusing on larger
flood event to inform geomorphic trends and flooding risks in the project reach.
Dosewallips River:Rocky Brook and Powerlines Reach Habitat Restoration Designs
Professional Services Agreement Template,JCPH,Version 3,PAO Approved 7/12/2021 Page 14 of25
• Hydraulic modeling will consist of a maximum of eight(8)discrete flow events to
characterize the current and anticipated mid-century(2050)hydraulic conditions.
Task 1.2d Aquatic Habitat Assessment
• An assessment of Chinook and Summer Chum salmon habitat will be completed based on
the two-day(2) field reconnaissance and available data from previous studies. Prior to the
field habitat assessment, Contractor will review the 2020 Meridian Aquatic Inventory
Survey Results and identify data gaps or supplemental data to collect in the Rocky Brook
reach to inform the development of the resiliency plan and conceptual habitat designs. The
coarse-scale assessment is anticipated to focus on:
o Mapping and quantification of channel types (i.e. mainstem,braid, or side channel),
and coarse scale aquatic habitat units (i.e.pools,riffles, or glides; width and depth of
each unit where feasible with single day field effort).
o Streambank condition, locations of riprap, levees, and road banks(i.e. hydro-
modified), stable large wood jam identification and volume estimates, and dominant
substrate class.
These elements will be geo-referenced, measured if/as applicable and feasible, and roughly
quantified if possible,for inclusion in the resiliency plan. Field data may be supplemented with
geospatial data if access to private property is not granted for the field reconnaissance effort. If
geospatial data is not sufficient to evaluate a particular data type(i.e. substrate) it will be noted
as a data gap in the resiliency plan.
The results of Task 1.2 data collection and analysis will form the framework for the development of
the resiliency plan in Task 2. Draft results existing conditions assessment and the 2D hydraulic
analysis and will be presented to, and discussed with, the Dosewallips River Collaborative.
Task 1.2e Delineation of Ecological Corridors
Contractor will define and identify two "ecological corridors", one for the near-term and typical
flows, and a second(longer-term)to support reconnection of the floodplain. The Corridors are
intended,to the degree that landowners are willing,to support the re-establishment of natural
floodplain processes and to communicate the need to accommodate anticipated hydrologic changes
linked to climate change.
Deliverables:
• Field reconnaissance plan identifying parcels in which access is secured and parcels in
which access is prohibited.
• Updated LiDAR topographic surface,to be incorporated into Resiliency plan, Task 2.
• CMZ Figure of reach, stamped by Licensed Geologist
• 2D hydraulic model output and flood risk maps, to be incorporated into Resiliency plan,
Task 2.
• Updated,coarse-scale aquatic habitat map of the project reach,to include to be incorporated
into Resiliency plan,Task 2.
• Map of existing land recreation uses in the project reach.
Dosewallips River:Rocky Brook and Powerlines Reach Habitat Restoration Designs
Professional Services Agreement Template,JCPH,Version 3,PAO Approved 7/12/2021 Page 15 of25
• Map of near-and longer-term ecological corridors.
Due: October 2023
Task 2: Rocky Brook-Resiliency plan
Contractor will prepare a Rocky Brook to Jupiter Bridge Resiliency Plan to document the analysis
conducted in Task 1.2 and the stakeholder feedback collected throughout the project in Task 4. The
resiliency plan will reference information on natural floodplain processes and draw parallels with
the Dosewallips River: Lazy C to Powerlines Reach Resiliency Plan developed in 2021. Like the
Lazy C to Powerlines plan,the Rocky Brook resiliency plan will focus on providing geomorphic,
habitat and hydraulic context to existing conditions in the reach and overlay these findings with the
historic and current land use in the reach and flooding and erosion risks to the local community.
The Rocky Brook plan,however, will support the development of more specific conceptual designs
focused on the limiting factors at flows that are essential to targeted fish species' life stages,rather
than floodplain connection.The Rocky Brook plan will also describe how geomorphic and
hydraulic conditions in the Rocky Brook reach may have an influence on downstream conditions.
Deliverables:
• Draft resiliency plan
• Review and integration of a single round of consolidated comments in Track Changes on the
draft resiliency plan and final resiliency plan.
• Workplan outlining potential future phases.
• Final resiliency plan
Due:
• Draft resiliency plan: June 2024
• Final resiliency plan: September 2024
Task 3: Rocky Brook-Conceptual Design
Conceptual designs will be developed for two (2)different sites as recommended during the
development of the resiliency plan. Each concept will focus on short-term actions that improve key
salmonid habitat conditions at discrete project sites. Restoration actions will fit within site
constraints (e.g. construction, geomorphic, social) and include a discussion on implementation
feasibility,and the pros;and cons related to community risk and resiliency. Each conceptual design
site will consist of a discrete geographic location in the project reach and may contain multiple
adjacent landowners into a single site.Examples of short-term project elements include the
construction of in-channel engineered log jams(ELJs), side channel connection, and riparian
planting. A discussion of longer-term restoration opportunities such as floodplain reconnection and
changes in land use practices will be included in the ecological corridor delineation.
The 2D hydraulic model developed during Task 1 will be updated to represent the proposed
conditions of each of the two (2)design concepts to aid in characterizing the hydraulic, geomorphic
and habitat response of each alternative. Proposed restoration elements will be represented in the
hydraulic model as changes in the model terrain and/or changes in hydraulic roughness.Hydraulic
output from the proposed conditions model (depths, velocity,water surface elevation)will be
Dosewallips River: Rocky Brook and Powerlines Reach Habitat Restoration Designs
Professional Services Agreement Template,JCPH,Version 3,PAO Approved 7/12/2021 Page 16 of25
compared to the existing conditions to assess changes in hydraulic conditions as a result of the
proposed restoration actions and inform the anticipated geomorphic and habitat response of each
alternative.
Contractor will present the conceptual design alternatives to County,the Dosewallips River
Collaborative, and other project stakeholders..Based upon feedback on the conceptual designs,a
preferred concept will be selected and refined such that it may be advanced toward preliminary
design in a future phase of work. Contractor will document the conceptual plans based on the RCO
Manual 18 guidance. The concepts will consist of single plan-view graphics with a brief written
description and are assumed to include instream and floodplain restoration elements.A conceptual
level cost estimate will also be developed for each design alternative. Conceptual design alternative,
consultation with project stakeholders, and discussion of the preferred design concept will be
incorporated into the final resiliency plan document.
Deliverables:
• Two (2)conceptual designs in PDF format provide plan-view representation of proposed
actions.
• Review and integration of one round,of comment in Track Changes on conceptual design
plans from the Dosewallips River Collaborative.
• Final conceptual design figures in PDF format based on selected alternatives and comments
from DRC and other project stakeholders.
• ConceptuaI basis of design section of the resiliency plan per RCO Manual 18 guidelines.
Due:
• Draft conceptual designs: May 2024
• Final conceptual designs: September 2024
Task 4: Rocky Brook-Stakeholder Outreach
Contractor will support County in using individual meetings,phone calls, and mailings as the
primary tools for communicating with reach landowners. The Dosewallips River Collaborative
(DRC)meetings will be the avenue for communicating more generally about the project's
objectives and milestones. The County and grant managers will review draft analysis results and
other technical work until the extent of landowner interest and cooperation is well understood.
Contractor will attend and present at up to five(5),online DRC meetings over the course of the
Rocky Brook Resiliency plan and conceptual design. The number of presentations will be
determined based on the level of public interaction desired by the landowner(s). To the degree that
the Contractor is not involved in DRC meetings on this project,time will be shifted by mutual
agreement to meetings with individual landowners.
A tentative plan for three DRC meetings is as follows:
1. Kickoff meeting to discuss project goals,available data,and key concerns--Spring 2023
2. Presenting conceptual design alternatives—Late Spring 2024
3. Select preferred design(s)—Summer/Fall 2024
Dosewallips River:Rocky Brook and Powerlines Reach Habitat Restoration Designs
Professional Services Agreement Template,JCPH,Version 3,PAO Approved 7/12/2021 Page 17 of25
Contractor will meet with landowners over three(3)different site visit days over the course of the
project. Contractor will also support County in the development of six (6)quarterly progress flyers
to be sent to landowners in the project reach and key project stakeholders.
Deliverables:
• Contractor attendance and presentation at up to five (5)DRC meetings for a up to 10 hours
of Contractor staff time.
• Contractor attendance at meetings with landowners in the reach for a total of up to 24 hours
over no more than three (3) separate site visit days.
• Narrative and graphics to support six(6)quarterly progress report flyers to be developed
and distributed by County.
Powerlines Reach
In the Powerlines Reach,Contractor will advance the previously developed preferred restoration
concept to a preliminary level of design including the submittal of construction permits. Included
within this process is the collection of key supplemental reach data including a bathymetric survey,
delineation of existing wetland and waters, and assessment of cultural resources. During this work,
Contractor will engage with project stakeholders through attendance at Dosewallips River
Collaborative meetings and through site visits and other meetings with individual landowners and
the local community.
