RE- Poudre Restoration :Feasibility Concepts
Blohabltats Proposal No. 10906.01
Subj: Biohabitats Scope and Fee.
Dear Mr. Bachand;
This proposal letter is in response to'your recent request for Biohabitats to assist the City of Fort
Collins with developing a concept plan for restoration and habitat enhancement of natural areas
along the Poudre River. We understand that at this time the City would like initial concept
drawings/renderings which would depict improvements to the -Sterling and Udall properties.
Scope
Based on our understanding. of the project needs and desired level .of effort, our scope of work
and fee for the project will be limited to the items .below:
Task I Field Visit— We .will conduct a site visit :to each of the properties to collect additional
elevation and site information including specific areas that would-be appropriate for
enhancement/restoration. As part of our site visits, we may meet..With keypersons
knowledgeable about the site from the county or city engineering or floodplairi offices for pre -
application meetings. For the purposes of the cost estimate, we anticipate this task will
require 2 persons for 1 day period.
Task 2 Concept Drawings- The intent of the concept drawings is to provide the City with
feasible restoration. concepts and planning level information. The main restoration concept.
for Sterling is: to lower the berm between the river and the pond to create an area with more
natural connectivity. with the river. and expanding the riparian vegetation. Material from the
berm would be utilized to create more wetland areas in the pond. The restoration concept
for Udall will involve enhancing the existing low bench through grading and native:
revegetation..
Using base mapping supplied by the City.; we will develop a color concept,plan for each site
that illustrates the restoration concepts.
Task 3 Plan-in-h.and Meetings.-- We will participate in a half -day field session to visit both
sites, review draft concept drawings, and discuss modifications to the restoration concepts.
Prior to the field visit, we will submit a draft Version of the concept plans to the City for
review.
Task 4 Feasibility Memorandum Following the plan -in -hand meeting, we will incorporate
comments into the final -version of the concept:plans and prepare a short memorandum
summarizing key issues along: with planning -level construction cost information for each of
the .concepts.
Fee & Schedule
Our fee for the field. work, concept ;develop.ment, and plan -in hand meetings described. above is
$1:3,1
350_.00. Note: this fee does not cover any hydraulic analysis related to floodplain regulations.
Any such hydraulic analysis will be added on a time and materials basis based :on o.ur contract
rates.
We are available to begin work as -soon. as we receive your written notice to proceed'.
Assumptions
The scope and fee estimate for this task is .based en the assumptions listed below.
1. The City of Fort Collins is responsible for coordinating project planning activities with the
.gravel company which reportedly stilt has an active :permit for the Sterling property,
2. Biohabitats'sco.pe of work does not include an assessment of water rights or other legal
property right.issues associated with, the project.
3. The scope, fee, and schedule: do not include hydraulic analysis (floodplain modeling) or
attendance at related city or county meetings.
4. At the completion of the tasks covered under this scope of work, approximately three
moriths will be required to complete floodplain-related hydraulic analyses at each site
with the appropriate review and approval process. Also during! this time, implementation.
planning may occur.
5. The City will,provide Biohabitats.a boat to access the Sterling pond for depth
measurements.
Please let me know if you need any more information. We look forward to continuing: our work
with you and the Natural Areas Program. if you have any questions regarding our proposal,
please.confact me by phone .(303 477=0660)or by email at cbrowne@biohabitats.com. Thank -
