(Halff) appreciates the opportunity to present our proposal to the City of Fort Worth (COFW; Client) to provide environmental services to develop an Aquatic Resource Relocation Plan (ARRP) for the Fosdic Lake dredging project located within Oakland Lake Park which is located in Tarrant County, Texas (32.75526,-97.25875). The following tasks, as formally presented in Attachment A — Scope of Services, present an overview of the services Halff can provide for the referenced project: Phase 1— ARRP Development Halff will develop an Aquatic Resource Relocation Plan (ARRP) to facilitate the recovery and relocation of aquatic life that might become imperiled due to the dredging methodology (e.g. hydraulic dredging). This task includes coordinating with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) to develop methodology which is intended to minimize and/or otherwise prevent losses of aquatic fauna as a result of the proposed dam removal project. This phase also includes time and expenses necessary for a one -day reconnaissance of the site to further develop the ARRP. This fee does not include any ARRP effort, including field work, past the initial one -day field visit and development of the ARRP document. Basic Fee Services: The basic fee for the services as described herein will be based on a lump sum amount of $12,000. We look forward to working with you on this project. If you have additional questions or con- cerns, please contact me at (817) 789-1279. Sincerely, HALFF ASSOCIATES, INC. Jeremy Jordan Environmental Project Manager/ Stream Ecologist HALFF ASSOCIATES, INC. 1201 NORTH BOWSER ROAD TEL (214) 346-6200 WWW.HALFF.COM RICHARDSON, TX 75081-2275 FAX (214) 739-0095 ATTACHMENT A SCOPE OF SERVICES SCOPE OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY HALFF TO THE CITY OF FORT WORTH FOR AQUATIC RESOURCE RELOCATION PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR FOSDIC LAKE DREDING PROJECT e•e halff INTRODUCTION The City of Fort Worth (Client) has engaged Halff Associates, Inc. (Halff) to develop an Aquatic Resource Relocation Plan (ARRP) for the Fosdic Lake dredging project located within Oakland Lake Park which is located in Tarrant County, Texas (32.75526,-97.25875) to satisfy current TPWD regulatory requirements. The proposed project will require dredging, without dewatering, which is very likely to imperil any resident aquatic life. As of this date, 05/30/2024, Halff is of the opinion that Fosdic Lake is a perennial freshwater lake that, based on expected freshwater mussel occupancy and diversity, should be considered a Group 5 stream/waterbody within the current Texas Mussel Stream Grouping system. Generally speaking, Group 5 streams/waterbodies are aquatic features where no federally- or state -listed freshwater mussels are known to occur, but mussels are known to occur; or perennial streams where it is anticipated that live freshwater mussels may occur, but presence or diversity have not been confirmed. Group 5 streams/waterbodies may be evaluated for suitable mussel habitat to determine survey requirements, if suitable mussel habitat is found. Additionally, due to the size and perennial nature of the feature, it is reasonable to assume Fosdic Lake contains other aquatic life such as freshwater fishes and turtles that would also need to be recovered and relocated a part of the ARRP process. The follow scope of work provides an itemized fee for the development of an ARRP to address procedures for the recovery and relocation of aquatic organisms that may be imperiled by the proposed project (e.g. dredging of Fosdic Lake). Subsequent ARRP activities, include the actual ARRP field effort(s) and reporting, will be provided under an additional scope of work. 2 DEFINITIONS ARRP — Aquatic Resource Relocation Plan as defined within the current version of the TPWD regulatory guidance document Guidelines for Aquatic Resource Relocation Plans for Fish and Shellfish, Including Freshwater Mussels. Client — City of Fort Worth Contractor — Contractor selected to perform the proposed dredging. Halff — Halff Associates, Inc., including personnel. Permitted Biologist — Halff biologist with a TPWD-issued Scientific Permit for Research which specifically authorizes the collection of native wildlife for the purposes of enhancing, protecting, conserving, or managing protected wildlife, or furthering scientific understanding of a resource or the environment. SPR — TPWD-issued Scientific Permit for Research. TPWD KAST — Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Kills and Spills Team Unpermitted Assistants — Other Halff biologists and/or other individuals carrying out SPR- authorized activities under the supervision of the Permitted Biologist. 3 PHASE 1 — DEVELOPMENT OF AQUATIC RESOURCE RELOCATION PLAN Development and maintenance of effective communication between Halff, TPWD KAST, the Client, and the Contractor will be a key factor in achieving successful and expedient phase completion. Halff will provide the Client guidance and assist with TPWD KAST coordination via e-mail and up to three (3) conference calls. This task includes coordination between Halff and TPWD KAST, and the Client to develop an ARRP. This task also includes a one -day limited field visit to assess aquatic habitat within Fosdic Lake to assist in developing the ARRP, including the development of aquatic life recovery and relocation procedures. This habitat assessment will be provided as an attachment to the ARRP to provide context to the methodology outlined in the plan. Deliverables: ■ Verbal and electronic correspondence with TPWD KAST and the Client ■ An electronic copy of the final ARRP ASSUMPTIONS ■ Until provided with information that directs otherwise, Halff assumes the Client, or the Contractor, will not be dewatering the pond. If this changes, Halff reserves the right to issue a supplemental scope and fee for redeveloping aquatic resource recovery and relocation methodology. ■ It is assumed that locations within the project area are readily accessible, and that appropriate right of entry/access will be provided to Halff. ■ It is assumed that Phase 1 will not exceed one (1) eight -hour (8) field day, to assist in developing the ARRP. ■ It is assumed that the Client and Contractor will be forthright in communicating with Halff regarding proposed construction activities, as construction methods can significantly affect ARRP requirements. ■ The Client and Contractor will notify Halff in advance of scheduling changes for any Tasks mentioned herein. ■ Climatic conditions, including precipitation events, may interfere with field work. Crew safety will be of utmost importance. Halff reserves the right to reschedule field visits as need, in consideration of staff safety. ■ All field data and results, species vouchers, photographs, and reports, regardless of format, may be utilized for scientific research, the results of which may be used for, but not limited to, presentations and published in publicly available, peer -reviewed, scientific journals. 4 EXCLUSIONS / OTHER ITEMS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT SCOPE ■ Phase 1 does not include in -person meetings. ■ This scope of work does not include any ARRP effort past the development of the ARRP document. Any additional aquatic resource relocation effort will be included under a separate scope of work. ■ This scope does not include laboratory identification (i.e., DNA or other) of freshwater mussels. ■ The Permitted Biologist maintains an SPR with specific authority to collect and relocate most aquatic organisms, including state -listed fishes and mussel, in the state of Texas. It is anticipated that all species which may be encountered within the proposed project area are authorized under the aforementioned permit; however, should an organism be encountered which is not authorized under the permit, all activities will be stopped, and the applicable state agency will be contacted for next steps. ■ The Permitted Biologist does not maintain a federal permit at this time and any collection/handling/relocation of any federally -listed species will be done under the direction of the federally -permitted individual selected by the Client or Halff (if applicable). ■ While the presence of state or federally -listed mussels and/or fish is not anticipated, additional protocols and regulations may apply if an undocumented population of federal or state list species is found. An additional scope and fee will be produced should any additional effort be required to comply with state and/or federal regulations concerning protected wildlife. 5 SCHEDULE OF FEES TO BE PAID TO HALFF BASIC FEE SERVICES The basic fee for the services as described herein will be lump sum and shall not exceed $12,000.00. This fee estimate includes the development of the ARRP, including a one -field reconnaissance of the site and coordination time necessary to develop the ARRP. This fee does not include any additional ARRP efforts past the development of the ARRP document. These fees include direct costs, including equipment and computer charges, normally associated with production of these services. The estimated fee for services is as follows: Phase 1 $ 12,000.00 Total: $ 12,000.00 If additional days are required for the completion of Phase 1, Halff would develop a supplemental scope of work. Unless otherwise stated, fees quoted in this proposal exclude state and federal sales taxes on professional services. Current Texas law requires assessment of sales tax on certain kinds of surveying services but does not require sales taxes on other professional services. If new or additional state or federal taxes are implemented on the professional services provided under this contract during the term of the work, such taxes will be added to the applicable billings and will be in addition to the quoted fees. no ATTACHMENT B Compensation Halff Rates ..
