To: Chris Cece, City of Fort Collins Utilities From: Andy Herb, URS
Office: Denver
Date: August 5, 2004
Subject: Scope of Work and Cost Estimate for Wetland Mapping at the Taft Hill
Detention Pond
At your request, I have prepared a scope of work and cost estimate to map the wetlands and
other waters at the Taft Hill Detention Pond for the City of Fort Collins (City). The project
involves the modification of an existing pond and the restoration of a reach of Spring Creek.
SCOPE OF WORK
This scope of work identifies the tasks and work effort required to map wetlands and other
waters in the project area. The tasks to be conducted are as follows:
Literature Review/Coordination: Prior to performing a site visit, data will be collected
from the City regarding potential wetlands and other waters present within the project area.
This includes a review of aerial photos, wetland maps created by others, and other available
resources. This task also includes minor coordination with the City.
Field Visit: A field visit will be performed to map wetlands and other waters on 1-inch
equals 200-foot (or similar) project maps. Wetlands will be identified based only on the
presence of wetland vegetation and wetland hydrology (assuming the presence of hydric
soils). The data collected will be adequate to create a complete wetland map that can be used
for planning purposes, but will not be appropriate for Section 404 permitting. If any of the
wetlands and other waters within the project area will be impacted by the project, a formal
wetland delineation will be required.
Map Production: After the field visit is completed, a map showing the exact location and
size of all wetlands and other waters will be prepared. The map will be created by digitizing
field data using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and will be compatible with the
City's computer software.
Assumptions:
Project area maps and aerial photos are available at 1 inch equals 200 feet scale (or
similar) and will be provided by the City
• A wetland delineation, Section 404 permitting and coordination with the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers are not included in this scope of work.

Deliverable:
An electronic and hard copy wetland map will be provided in a format that is compatible

August 17, 2004.
Fee Estimate:
The contract will be time and materials, not to exceed $2,000.00. A detailed breakdown of
these costs is included in Table 1. Rates previously approved by the City will be used.
