BIOLOGICAL SERVICES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCES 4.1 Habitat Assessment for USFWS Concurrence. EDAW will prepare a letter report to be sent to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for their concurrence on Preble's meadow jumping mouse (PMJM) and Ute ladies' -tresses (ULT) issues. The City, CDOT, and CDOW will be copied on this letter. We believe that there may be enough information available to warrant a conclusion from USFWS that neither species is likely to occur within the project area along Mail Creek or the tributary to Fossil Creek. And, for the purposes of maintaining the project schedule, an attempt at obtaining USFWS concurrence now prior to conducting more detailed surveys (including PMJM trapping) is warranted. The concurrence letter will include the history of PMJM and ULT occurrence within the City and nearby areas, a summary of the proposed project, a description of habitat types and conditions within the project boundaries (including photographs), and preliminary conclusions regarding the likelihood of either species occurring. Note — if iFELSRURG HOLT ULLEVIG 3 612103 John Stephen - Mason Street phase IIB SOS for EDAW.060203.doc Page 4 Mason Transportation Corridor Phase 11B Scope of Services USFWS does not concur, then one or both of the optional tasks below will need to be completed prior to NEPA document finalization and project construction. 4.2 Nest Survey for MBTA-Protected Species. Over a two-day period, EDAW biologists will survey all trees and ground vegetation within the project area for evidence of previous or current nesting by raptors and other species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). Active nests will be field -marked and mapped, and measures will be developed to try to avoid impacts to these nest sites during construction. A report summarizing the results of this survey will be prepared and sent to the MBTA Coordinator in USFWS Region 6, and to CDOT. If impacts to active nests can not be avoided, then it may be necessary to obtain an MBTA "special purpose permit" for nest depredation. If impacts to active nests can be avoided, but nest removal at the end of the breeding season is necessary, then an MBTA "special purpose permit" for nest salvage will also be needed. 4.3 Coyote and Fox Den Survey. EDAW biologists will conduct a two-day survey of all dens within the project area to determine if any are being used by native species in the family Canidae; that is, either coyotes or red fox. The dens of these two species are considered a special feature warranting protection under the City's Resources Code. The survey will be conducted in mid -summer when activity around natal den entrances should be at its highest (with pups emerging), thus making the likelihood of detection highest. All dens will be field marked and mapped, and mitigation measures to avoid and preserve these sites will be developed. The results of this survey will be provided in a letter report to the City. 4.4 Burrowing Owl Survey. The prairie dog colony located at the proposed maintenance facility site will be surveyed by EDAW biologists for the presence of burrowing owls, a state -listed Threatened species. The protocol developed by the Colorado Division of Wildlife for surveying for burrowing owls will be followed, which requires viewing the prairie dog colony for two consecutive mornings (from sunrise until two hours after sunrise) using high-powered binoculars. Should owls be found, a mitigation plan for avoiding impacts will be developed using state -endorsed standards. The results of the burrowing owl survey, and any mitigation measures believed to be needed, will be provided in a letter report to CDOW, the City, and CDOT. 4.5 Optional Tasks Ute Ladies' -tresses Survey— If required by USFWS, a qualified botanist from EDAW will conduct a presence/absence level of survey for ULT along Mail Creek and the tributary to Fossil Creek within the project area. The results of this survey will be summarized in a letter report to USFWS, the City, and CDOT. Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse Trapping Survey— If required by USFWS, a permitted EDAW staff person (Kim Lanford) or a PMJM subconsultant will conduct a protocol -level trapping survey of the Mail Creek and/or Fossil Creek tributary locations. Both areas can be covered by one trapping effort. The results of this survey will be summarized in a letter report to USFWS, CDOW, the City, and CDOT. iFELSBURG HUET ULLEv1G 4 612103 John Stephen - Mason Street phase IIB SOS for EDAW.060203.doc Page 5 Mason Transportation Corridor Phase IIB Scope of Services FELSRURG HOLT & ULLEV1G 5 612103 John Stdphen -Mason Street phase IIB SOS for CB.060.203.doc Page 1 City of Fort Col�irs Mason Transportation Corridor Phase IIB Scope of Services SUBCONSULTANT SCOPE OF SERVICES CARTER & BURGESS, INC.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS REPORT 1.1 Update Master Plan to Reflect Recent Discussions Felsburg Holt & Ullevig (FHU) will update the developing preferred alternative to reflect the current design approach based on discussion at the April 23'tl team meeting and on further input from other disciplines such as pedestrian facility and station designs. 1.2 Attend Coordination Meetings FHU will attend the following meetings: • May 7th — BNSF Coordination Meeting May 7th — Public Meeting • May 15th — FTA Quarterly Coordination Meeting • Coordination Meetings with City Staff — we anticipate that one coordination meeting will be required to complete this work task. 1.3 Produce Plans of the Preferred Alternative FHU will produce plans in an 11" x 17" format for inclusion in the final report. Plans will include typical sections, plan sheets, profiles for the Drake underpass, detail sheets for the McClelland/ Mason connection, details of the Mason/Howes two-way conversion, etc.. Notes will be added to the plans regarding decisions made during the process and identifying where decisions are still to be made. 1.4 Opinion of Probable Cost FHU will quantify elements of the preferred alternative and develop an Opinion of Probable Cost. Cost methodology will be developed and presented to FTA at the May 151h meeting. The goal is to develop estimates consistent with FTA protocol so that, as the project develops, backtracking would not be necessary. Elements left as unresolved in recent conversations would be estimated with a placeholder so that subsequent efforts can address and update the estimate. FELSBURG HOLT & ULLEVIG 6/2/03 John Stephen - Miase IIB SOS.060203.doc Page 2 Mason Transportation Corridor Phase IIB Scope of Services 1.5 Prepare Summary Report FHU will summarize the work performed in an Alternatives Analysis Report. The report will summarize the alternatives considered, the rationale for eliminating alternatives, the reason that alternatives were advanced, and how the preferred alternative was selected. In addition, a summary of unresolved issues will be provided with recommendations for further action. 2. PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DESIGN MASON TRAIL - HARMONY TO FOSSIL CREEK TRAIL A conceptual alignment for the trail has been developed through a recent work session with the City and project team members. The alignment will be located on the east side of the railroad from Harmony Road to the Fossil Creek Trail connection. It will parallel Harmony Road on the south side to the west of the railroad and then will cross Harmony Road at -grade on the north side of the street. This will require a pedestrian actuated signalized crossing and widening of some sidewalk along Harmony Road. Segments of the trail that will require further refinement include: • The at -grade crossing of Harmony Road — Where is this to be located? What are the urban amenity treatments at the crossing? How is the pedestrian signalization integrated with others along Harmony? How is it signed? • The trail crossing of the BNSF tracks along Harmony Road - Will the trail crossing along Harmony require more concrete crossing material along the BNSF tracks? Will the trail crossing require separate lights and gates from those for vehicular traffic on Harmony? • The alignment around the Mail Creek and New Mercer Ditch segment to the south of Harmony Road and to the east of the railroad — Is this enclosed? Are the existing pipes extended? Are retaining walls and railing required? How will the hydraulics work? What kind of coordination is required with the ditch company? Is this segment of the ditch historic? • The alignment around the development to the south of Fairway Lane — What and when will the developer construct? Does this project provide a temporary connection in this location? • Environmental impacts — Are there impacts to wetlands? Are there mitigation sites available? Are there other resource impacts? FHU will perform the following work assignments to refine the details and resolve the issues discussed above. OEELSIIURG HOLT & ULLEVIG 2 612103 John Stephen - M lase IIB SOS.060203.doc Page 3 Mason Transportation Corridor Phase IIB Scope of Services 2.1 Preliminary and Final Design Trail Alignment - EDAW will take the lead to establish the preliminary horizontal and vertical alignments for the trail. Once the alignments are generally agreed upon, FHU will establish geometric definition for these alignments using the Inroads software. Cross - sectional elements will be added to these alignments to establish slope limits. These will be compared to existing railroad and private rights -of -way. Slopes will be adjusted, as possible, to remain inside the existing right-of-way. Refinements of the horizontal and vertical alignments will be made to "best fit" the corridor. FHU will request review and approval of the trail alignment by the BNSF where the trail is inside BNSF right-of-way. Hydrology and Hydraulics — FHU will review the existing drainage patterns within the corridor and will evaluate the impacts that the trail will have on the historic patterns. Drainage systems will be designed to maintain the historic flow patterns. The likely system will involve cross culverts and extensions of existing ones. A preliminary drainage report will be prepared. FHU will analyze the open channel reaches of Mail Creek and the New Mercer Ditch to confirm the hydraulics and to develop alternative solutions for incorporating the trail. Structural Design — The trail alignment will be established to best fit the existing terrain. The narrowness of the corridor will likely require the use of minor retaining walls. The current open channel segment south of Harmony Road will not accommodate the trail without filling in the channel or rechannelizing it with walls or rock side slopes. FHU will design these structures. We have assumed that three minor (less than 3' high) retaining walls and one specialty drainage structure at the Mail Creek open channel will be required. Crossing Details — FHU, with assistance from EDAW, will develop details for the at - grade crossing of Harmony Road. This will include establishing the alignment for the crossing, materials to be placed in the crossing, handicapped ramp alignment, and pedestrian actuated traffic signal design. The trail crossing of the BNSF tracks along Harmony Road will be discussed with the railroad if changes of the existing pedestrian crossing along Harmony Road are desired. Trail Head Parking Lot at the South Transit Center — FHU will produce plans for this parking lot. It is likely to be an aggregate surface parking lot with timber tie delineation of parking locations. A signing plan will be provided. iFELSBURG HOLT ULLEVIG 612103 John Stephen - M lase 1113SOS.060203.doc Page 4 Mason Transportation Corridor Phase IIB Scope of Services 2.2 Plan Production FHU will prepare plans for review and comment.

We have assumed that right-of-way will be acquired using the City's standard procedures. This will require production of an exhibit and a legal description for each parcel and for each type of acquisition — fee simple, permanent easement, or temporary easement. FHU will provide the City Surveyor with the AutoCAD file base information with toes of slope and approximate right- of-way needs. The City Surveyor will produce the exhibits and legal descriptions. CDOT's more rigorous right-of-way plans and review will not be followed with this project. FHU will assist with coordination for use of BNSF right-of-way, as necessary. This will include: • Preparation of a draft Construction and Maintenance (C&M) Agreement for review by the BNSF. • Phone/electronic coordination to determine the possible agreements and formats, along with discussion of fee amounts and schedules. FHU will prepare the use application and necessary attachments for BNSF and/or for BNSF's Real Estate Representative, Staubach Global Services, Inc. — RR. If requested, FHU will assist with preparation of a Memorandum of Agreement between the City and BNSF for placement of the trail facility inside the BNSF right-of-way.

Costs will complement methodologies as agreed upon in development of the alternatives previously discussed. 2.6 Coordination and Reviews FHU will conduct coordination meetings with the City, its subconsultants, the public, and CDOT. The following meetings are anticipated: Proiect Coordination Meetings — these meetings will be held monthly with CDOT and City of Fort Collins staff to present the project progress and to resolve issues. FHU will schedule, conduct, and prepare the meeting minutes. Three meetings are anticipated. Public Meeting — FHU will conduct one public meeting in an open house format to share the details of the plans and the construction schedule. Miscellaneous Coordination Meetings — FHU will attend up to three other coordination meetings with other vested interest groups such as the irrigation companies, property owners, and utility companies. BNSF Coordination Meeting — FHU anticipates one additional coordination meeting with the BNSF to discuss trail elements. FIR/FOR Review Meeting — FHU will submit up to 10 sets of plans and specifications for review by the City and CDOT. One meeting will be conducted to discuss the comments to the plans. FHU will prepare graphics, facilitate the meeting, and prepare minutes. 2.7 Final Revisions and Bidding FHU will incorporate the comments from the review meeting and will prepare a set of "for bid" plans. These will be provided in 11 "xl7" format. The City will produce copies for advertising, advertise the project, accept bids from the contractors, and award the contract. FHU will support the bidding through our attendance at the pre -bid meeting with the contractors, by responding to questions during the bidding process, and by assisting the City with review of the bids.

PRELIMINARY AND FINAL DESIGN MASON TRAIL — PROSPECT TO HARMONY A conceptual alignment for the trail has been developed through a recent work session with the City and project team members. The alignment will be located on the west side of the railroad from Prospect Road to Harmony Road. The alignment will cross Horsetooth Road and Drake Road at currently signalized intersections and will cross Swallow with an enhanced crosswalk. It will cross the New Mercer Ditch, the Larimer County Canal No. 2, or Spring Creek five times and will require structures to do so. One grade -separated crossing of the railroad will be designed at this time, but may not be constructed until funding is available. Segments of the trail that will require further refinement include: • The grade -separated crossing of the railroad at Troutman Parkway. • Impacts to the existing detention pond at Troutman Parkway on the west side of the railroad, with trail head parking and the new trail connection. • Can the trail leave the railroad right-of-way south of the Carmike Cinema at Horsetooth Road and between Horsetooth and Swallow Roads? How and where should the trail cross the New Mercer Ditch between Horsetooth and Harmony Roads? Any further coordination with the Meadowlark neighborhood relative to the trail directly behind their properties? • Is Bay Road usable for the trail? • How does the trail integrate with CSU's Master Plan from Drake Road to Prospect Road? • What is the northern terminus of the trail — the Spring Creek Trail or Prospect Road? FHU will perform the following work assignments to refine the details and resolve the issues discussed above. �FELSRURG HOLT & ULLEVIG 6 612103 John Stephen - IV ,`' 'iase 1113 SOS.060203.doc Page 7 Mason Transportation Corridor Phase 1/8 Scope of Services 3.1 Preliminary and Final Design Trail Alignment - EDAW will take the lead to establish the preliminary horizontal and vertical alignments for the trail.

Drainage systems will be designed to maintain the historic flow patterns. The likely system will involve cross culverts and extensions of existing ones. A preliminary drainage report will be prepared. FHU will visit with the City's storm water department and the irrigation ditch companies to confirm the hydraulics of the canals and the detention ditches and to confirm the crossing or intrusion possibilities. Structural Design — The trail alignment will be established to best fit the existing terrain. FHU will design structures for five bridge crossings of the irrigation canals and Spring Creek. These structures will either be precast structures that can be delivered to the site and erected on foundations constructed by the contractor or box culverts with wingwalls constructed on site. FHU will design the grade separation structure at Troutman Parkway, building from the conceptual layout performed by EDAW. Crossing Details — FHU will develop details for the at -grade crossings of Horsetooth, Swallow, and Drake Road. This will include establishing the alignment for the crossing, materials to be placed in the crossing, handicapped ramp alignment, and pedestrian actuated traffic signal design. 3.2 Plan Production FHU will prepare plans for review and comment.
