SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH
WILDLIFE INNOVATIONS INC. IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED
$48,660 FOR DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTERGRATED CANADA
GOOSE POPULATION MANAGEMENT PLAN INCLUDING AN

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an agreement with Wildlife Innovations Inc. in an amount not to exceed $48,660 for the development of an integrated Canada Goose Population Management Plan including an environmental review, authorizing an additional budget appropriation of $35,960 and the establishment of a contingency in the amount of $7,300 with authorization given to the City Manager to execute contract amendments up to the contingency amount.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the regular City Council meeting on September 19, 2022, the Council by way of Minute Order No. 1878 received and accepted the Canada Goose Population Management Plan Update and directed staff to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to identify a consultant to develop an Integrated Canada Goose Population Management Plan. There were 4 consultant responses to the RFP which were reviewed, and
11.1 11.1 Staff Report
204
interviews conducted with all the applicants. Wildlife Innovations Inc. demonstrated the ability to meet the City’s requirements including an aggressive timeline and provided a competitive cost proposal.
BACKGROUND
For years, the City has tried to control the goose population through numerous mitigation strategies to maintain a sustainable number of geese within the City. Canada Geese are extremely adaptable and have found Foster City to be an ideal environment resulting in an increased population of resident geese. The growing population has resulted in higher concentrations of droppings which contain bacteria that present health hazards, degrade the water quality of the lagoon, and diminish the community’s ability to enjoy the City’s parks, sports fields, and other public amenities.
During this time City Staff began working with both the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and United States Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) to obtain a depredation permit to potentially be used with other non-lethal methods to control the population.
In November of 2021, staff obtained the USDA permit (form 37) which was required to proceed with applying for a USFWS permit 3-200-13 Migratory Bird Depredation. Obtaining the permit required staff to submit documentation of all the City’s non-lethal efforts to control the population, as well as a mitigation plan to identify next steps for mitigating the geese. Staff were given a verbal approval for the permit but delayed having the permit issued to ensure that was the direction City Council wanted to pursue. On July 18, 2022, by way of Minute Order No. 1863, City Council provided direction to staff to obtain 3-20013: Migratory Bird - Depredation Permit which was issued to the city on July 25, 2022, and expires on July 31, 2023.
Upon issuance of the depredation permit, City staff consulted with potential vendors and wildlife agencies and determined that performing depredation at this time would be more difficult and potentially less effective as the geese in Foster City were no longer in their molt period. At the regular Council meeting on September 19, 2022, staff recommended that any depredation efforts be postponed until the next molting season and asked Council for direction in issuing an RFP to identify a consultant to develop a comprehensive Canada Goose Population Management Plan which was approved by way of Minute Order No. 1878. On January 17, 2023, the Council received a request to approve an agreement with Wildlife Innovations, Inc. for the development of the Canada Goose Population Management Plan but the item was continued to a meeting no later than the last regularly scheduled Council meeting on February 21.
ANALYSIS
The City’s current Canada Goose Population Management Plan was developed by City staff which documents the impacts of human-geese conflicts and the strategies the City has attempted in modifying geese behavior and reducing their population. While consulting with several wildlife specialists and vendors, staff discovered that while the City tried several hazing and other non-lethal strategies to control the geese, no single strategy was effective in isolation. An effective plan would be one that incorporates many various strategies simultaneously and consistently over an extended period to
11.1 11.1 Staff Report
205
have the greatest impact on the geese behavior. This is a complex problem requiring a comprehensive and robust approach to be more effective. Upon Council direction, staff issued a Request for Proposals for consultants to provide professional services to develop a comprehensive and integrated Goose Population Management Plan on October 14, 2022, and received four (4) proposals from biological and environmental consultants that specialize in wildlife management. The firms included the following:
•Wildlife Innovations, Inc.
•Hardshell Labs, Inc.
•Huffman-Broadway Group
•LSA
Interviews were conducted with all the firms, and it was determined that the proposal from Wildlife Innovations Inc. met the requirements of the RFP and were the most suited to develop a plan that would be implementable in both the short and longer term.
The proposal from Wildlife Innovations, Inc. was reviewed, and the fee negotiated in the amount of $48,660. Since the initial proposal submittal, staff coordinated with the consultant to modify the scope of services as necessary to include the essential services required to complete the desired plan. Some services that were deemed unnecessary were removed from the scope of work and included as optional services to be added if requested by the City at a later point. The fees were determined reasonable and competitive for this project, while meeting key components as required by the City.
The scope of services for this project includes preparing an integrated Canada Goose Population Management Plan which will provide the framework of managing the Canada Goose Population within Foster City Parks going forward. The plan will contain new management actions for both short- and long-term management which will be developed after reviewing past practices and techniques by not only Foster City but surrounding agencies. The plan will also contain habitat assessments and provide recommendations for habitat modifications to make the parks less inviting to the Canada Goose. Wildlife Innovations will also work to educate the community regarding the plan and proposed management actions. As a component of the plan, Wildlife Innovations will prepare an Initial Study per the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review and if no evidence is found that the actions proposed in the plan will have a significant impact, a Negative Declaration/Mitigated Negative Declaration will be prepared. For complete scope of work, see the attached Wildlife Innovations proposal (attachment 3).
Once given notice to proceed, it is anticipated that the plan development will be completed in 6 months pending CEQA review process. When the updated Canada Goose Population Management Plan is complete, it will be presented to the City Council for its consideration and acceptance.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
Approval of this Agreement with Wildlife Innovations is not subject to review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. §§ 15000 et.
11.1 11.1 Staff Report
206
seq.), including without limitation, Public Resources Code section 21065 and California Code of Regulations 15378 as said approval is not a “project” that may cause a direct, or reasonably foreseeable indirect, physical change in the environment. However, as part of the services that will be provided through this Agreement, Wildlife Innovations will conduct environmental review as part of the preparation of the Canada Goose Population Management Plan, in compliance with CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
The proposed fees in the amount of $48,660 have been negotiated and determined reasonable based on the scope of services. Additionally, a project contingency in the amount of $7,300, or approximately 15% of the contract amount is recommended to pay for additional services that may be required. The total fiscal impact is $55,960 including contingency. There is $20,000 identified in the current budget ($20,000 balance will be drawn from existing budgeted funds in account 001-0520-452-4251) for the Canada Goose Population Management Plan, and an additional budget appropriation of $35,960 and the establishment of a contingency in the amount of $7,300 will be needed.

SCHEDULE, AND DELIVERABLES FOR
THE PREPARATION OF INTEGRATED CANADA GOOSE
POPULATION MANAGEMENT PLAN
Scope of Work
Consultant shall provide the following Services:
Task 1: Preparation of an Integrated Canada Goose Population Management Plan for Foster City, CA (“Plan”).
The Plan shall include recommended steps to attempt to reduce the damage to city parks caused by resident Canada Goose (hereafter “CAGO”) populations and mitigate the human health hazard stemming from large amounts of feces within public parks and waterways and mitigate other known or identified damages caused by the large numbers of CAGO.
The Plan shall include measures to identify, evaluate, and address the following components of CAGO management within Foster City, California:
1) Community education and outreach to inform the public of the human-goose conflict and ensure ongoing understanding and support for proposed management actions, as well as work with the City’s Communications team to develop and distribute information to the local media
2) Review of existing information on CAGO populations in Foster City including documented impacts related to their activity (e.g., damage to turf, excessive droppings, etc.) 3) CAGO biology and regulations surrounding the management of this wildlife species 4) Review applied management techniques from other municipalities and regulatory agencies and their roles in managing the CAGO population
5) The Plan shall identify the appropriate level of environmental review that is required under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) to implement the Plan. 6) The Plan shall describe benefits as well as specific conflicts that exist with CAGO in Foster City parks and public spaces
7) A map and description of parks, based on satellite scouting, and summary of observational surveys of the CAGO population, collected and provided by Foster City, will be used in development of the Plan.
8) The Plan will comprise the development objectives (both short-term and long-term) for CAGO population control and management.
9) General habitat management recommendations to deter CAGO that identify commonly used non-lethal techniques and describe methods that could be used for capture and removal of CAGO, will be provided within the Plan. Habitat modification recommendations provided within the Plan will be made based on literature and general knowledge of CAGO foraging behavior, known food attractants, and techniques used successfully within other management programs.
11.1 Attachment 2 - Agreement
220
INTEGRATED CANADA GOOSE POPULATION MANAGEMENT PLAN
12 10) Population projections for CAGO within Foster City, under potential management scenarios, will be provided using general CAGO reproductive trends and observational data provided by Foster City.
11) Steps for measuring the success of future CAGO management, that will allow for continuous reevaluation and adaptation of the plan and associated management actions, will be included within the Plan, along with a cost benefit analysis component 12) The Plan will include steps to promote long-term effectiveness and sustainability that considers coordination with entities and stakeholders including developers, planners, landscape designers, homeowner’s associations, businesses, realty companies, the public and other municipalities in the metropolitan area, as much as feasible within the scope and costs provided.
The timeline for completion of this Task 1 will be dependent on the completion of CEQA review.
The CITY will be invoiced for the amount provided in Exhibit B for Task 1 by the Consultant following submission of the Plan, and the Consultant will be paid by the CITY for services rendered during completion of this Task 1, within 30 days of receiving an invoice.
Task 1a: Initial CEQA Review and Report
All existing applicable documents, reports and permits will be reviewed for Foster City Lagoon and the relevant vicinity in order to identify what permits are in place and determine if there are any gaps in data or permit requirements for compliance with CEQA or other federal, state, or local laws. In addition, during the review, environmental factors that could be potentially affected, including biologically sensitive resources (i.e. federally and/or state-listed threatened and endangered species, migratory birds, bald and golden eagles as well as other locally sensitive species or sensitive habitats) by the actions proposed within the Plan, will be analyzed.
A report shall be authored by the Consultant that summarizes the findings from the background review and identifies any necessary actions and/or the process for compliance with CEQA or other federal or state or local laws.
The timeline for completion of this task will be dependent on responsiveness and delivery, by both CITY and outside entities, to inquiries and requests made by the Consultant, for documents, other items, or information necessary to complete this Task 1a.
The CITY will be invoiced for the amount provided in Exhibit B for services relating to Task 1a and upon submission of the Initial CEQA Review Report to the CITY, and the Consultant will be paid for services rendered during completion of this Task 1a within 30 days of the CITY receiving the invoice and deliverables.
Task 1b: Initial Study/Negative Declarations/Mitigated Negative Declarations Results from Task 1a shall inform what level of environmental review is required. An Initial Study (“IS”) is a preliminary analysis which is prepared to determine the relative environmental impacts associated with a proposed project. The Consultant shall prepare the IS.
Based on the analysis contained in the IS, additional documents and/or surveys may be required to complete the IS. Survey design and efforts will be developed within the identified costs as much as possible, but if additional services or efforts are required beyond the level predicted within the rates identified in Exhibit B for this Task 1b, then Consultant shall bill for time incurred at the hourly rates identified Exhibit B. A checklist will be filled out to support preparation of a Negative Declaration (“ND”) or a Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”). If the IS determines there are impacts that cannot be mitigated, then an Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) may be required.
11.1 Attachment 2 - Agreement
221
INTEGRATED CANADA GOOSE POPULATION MANAGEMENT PLAN
13 This scope of work does not include the preparation of an EIR.
If there is no substantial evidence that the actions proposed within the Plan may have a significant effect on the environment, a ND will be performed. If the IS identifies potentially significant effects, but: (1) revisions in the project plans or proposals would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur; and (2) there is no substantial evidence that the project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment, then a MND shall be prepared, which identifies appropriate mitigation measures.
The time required to complete this Task 1b may be adjusted based upon results of the CEQA analysis. Completion of CEQA analysis will rely on timely responses to correspondence and delivery of requested documents necessary to complete CEQA review, to the Consultant, from the CITY, or other outside personnel. If items, tasks, or correspondence necessary to complete CEQA analysis are not provided in a timely manner, the completion of CEQA analysis may be extended. Results of the CEQA analysis shall be incorporated into the Plan before it is finalized.
The CITY will be invoiced for the amount provided in Exhibit B for services relating to Task 1b and upon submission of the completed IS, a ND or a MND. If additional effort and associated costs are necessary to complete the IS, a ND, or a MND, and the CITY authorizes additional services and costs, appropriate tasks and documents will be provided and invoiced monthly. If the CITY does not authorize additional funds to support completion of Task 1b, the Consultant will provide a final report of services rendered, the CITY shall be provided an invoice of services and the CITY will pay the Consultant for those services rendered and approved within 30 days of receiving the invoice from the Consultant. If an EIR is determined to be necessary, a new scope and costs may be prepared for those additional services.
Task 2: Customized Habitat Assessment and Management Recommendations Up to seven park properties within the CITY will be identified by CITY staff, as priorities for focused habitat surveys and recommended modifications to deter use by CAGO. Those seven parks will be physically surveyed by the Consultant, with existing habitat evaluated, described, and photographed, and customized site-specific recommendations provided for habitat modifications, exclusion, deterrence, or other management of CAGO, will be developed and included within the Plan. Additional parks may be surveyed by the Consultant at the request of the CITY, as possible within the identified budget, or if additional hours and associated costs are authorized by the CITY.
The timeline for completion of Task 2 will be 90 Days.
The CITY will be invoiced for the amount provided in Exhibit B for services relating to Task 2 and upon submission of the survey to the CITY, and the Consultant will be paid for services rendered during completion of this Task 2 within 30 days of the CITY receiving the invoice and deliverables.

COVID-19 AMENDMENT/ATTACHMENT
(Consulting Agreement Form)
This COVID-19 Amendment/Attachment amends the Agreement between the City of Foster City (“City”) and Wildlife Innovations (“Consultant”) dated January 17, 2023
1. Definitions
A. The 2019 novel coronavirus and the disease it causes are collectively referred to herein as “COVID-19”.
B. A “COVID-19 Condition” is something attributable to COVID-19 not caused by the Consultant (which for purposes herein includes all subconsultants) and beyond its reasonable control including but not limited to COVID-19 Proclamations and supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19, and other circumstances concerning COVID-19 not caused by the Consultant and which are beyond its reasonable control.
C. A “COVID-19 Proclamation” includes but is not limited to orders, directives and guidance concerning COVID-19 that have been issued, and which may be issued from time to time, by public agencies or regulatory bodies, the CDC or OSHA or Cal/OSHA, including without limitation the Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards. Consultant acknowledges that those orders, directives and guidance may require the Project to shut down or otherwise increase the Consultant’s cost or time of performance by calling for things such as social distancing and the use of personal protective equipment. In the event of conflicting COVID-19 Proclamations, the Consultant shall follow the most applicable, restrictive and newest COVID-19 Proclamations.
D. An “Unknown COVID-19 Condition” is a COVID-19 Condition the Consultant did not know about, and reasonably should not have known about, as of the date the Consultant submitted its proposal.
The requirements contained in COVID-19 Proclamations issued before submission of a proposal are not Unknown COVID-19 Conditions, and the Consultant will be deemed to have knowledge of those requirements.
E. An “Unknown COVID-19 Cost” is a cost that: (i) is solely attributable to an Unknown COVID- 19 Condition; (ii) is reasonable and unavoidable under the circumstances; (iii) is not the result of the Consultant’s failure to comply with the contract documents or a COVID-19 Proclamation; and (iv) is not the result of a subconsultants failure to comply with a COVID-19 Proclamation in connection with the performance of the Services.
2. COVID-19 Conditions and Proposal. Consultant is expected to know and is deemed to have known about COVID-19 Conditions when it submits its proposal, and COVID-19 Conditions must be accounted for in the Consultant’s price and schedule. In order to be entitled to any relief from a COVID- 19 Condition, the Consultant must demonstrate that the issue, cost or delay is due to an Unknown COVID-19 Condition.
3. Compliance with COVID-19 Proclamations.
A. Consultant shall comply with COVID-19 Proclamations in the performance of the Services, irrespective of when the COVID-19 Proclamations are issued, and as they pertains to performance of

DocuSign Envelope ID: 3A6763B6-6698-4937-A4C2-DA471C00637C the Services. The cost of such compliance is non-compensable, except as otherwise expressly stated herein.
B. Consultant is responsible to ensure that its subconsultants and suppliers comply with COVID- 19 Proclamations at all times in connection with the performance of their Services.
4. Delay. The Consultant is entitled to a reasonable time extension for an Unknown COVID-19 Condition. Such time extension is non-compensable.
5. City Directed Suspension. The City may suspend Services due to COVID-19 health concerns, even though the Consultant may be allowed to proceed with the Services based on COVID-19 Proclamations.
The City may suspend the Services for its convenience. The Consultant is entitled to a time extension for a City Directed Suspension, and the contract amount will be equitably adjusted if and to the extent Consultant incurs increased costs that are Unknown COVID-19 Costs.
6. Compensation for COVID-19 Costs. City will reimburse the Consultant for Unknown COVID-19 Costs that are not included in the schedule of values.
7. Safe Work Practices. Consultant shall implement safe work practices recommended by CDC or OSHA or Cal/OSHA, which may include, inter alia, screening all employees, subconsultants, or others (“worker(s)”) at all locations where Services are performed for signs and symptoms of COVID-19; adopting staggered work schedules, e.g., providing alternating workdays or extra shifts, to reduce the total number of employees on a site at any given time and to ensure physical distancing; identifying choke points where workers are forced to stand together, such as hallways and elevators, ingress and egress points, break areas, and buses, and implement policies to maintain social distancing; coordinating deliveries in line with the employer's minimal contact and cleaning protocols; and instituting a rigorous housekeeping program to reduce dust levels at all exterior locations. Consultant remains fully responsible for following and complying with changes to recommended safe work practices from time to time.
8. Monitoring and Reporting. City may require the Consultant to actively monitor the health of its workers through temperature checks and questionnaires of major COVID-19 symptoms, including but not limited to cough, fever above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit and shortness of breath. Consultant shall immediately report to City any outbreaks of COVID-19 among its workers. The Consultant shall not knowingly allow any worker who has tested positive with COVID-19 to enter a City building. In the event of an outbreak or an exposure to COVID-19, the City may impose appropriate mitigation strategies which may be in consultation with the public health officer.
9. Conflicts. In the event of an inconsistency between this COVID-19 Amendment and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control.

Dear Mr. Schweigart,
Wildlife Innovations, Inc., is pleased to submit this proposal to develop an Integrated Canada Goose Population Management Plan (hereafter the Plan) for Foster City , California. The comprehensive Plan will include facets of habitat management, behavior modification, and depredation to mitigate damage to city property caused by grazing and defecating geese and the threat to human health and safety caused by prevalence of goose feces within public use areas. The Plan will be adaptive, and the methods varied based on measured effectiveness, identified site-specific constraints, and the seasonal and annual status of Canada Goose activity within Foster City properties. Wildlife Innovations will author and develop the plan within a 60- day period (unless Optional Tasks are requested, funded, and added to the scope of services), utilizing staff with extensive experience in developing wildlife management and wildlife hazard mitigation programs. Methods identified within the Plan and considered for application within the field will be compliant with all known Migratory Bird Treaty Act , US Fish and Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and local regulations, laws, and permits.
The estimated cost of services for completing the Plan are $12,900, not including Optional Tasks. The scope of the Plan as d escribed herein can be adjusted as necessary to meet the needs of Foster City, with additional effort provided upon request, for the rates identified herein.
Sincerely,
S. Jake Manley
11.1 Attachment 3 - Proposal
235
1 SECTION II: DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM AND REQUEST
Foster City reported that Canada Geese ( Branda canadensis: CAGO) are commonly observed within many or all 24 parks in Foster City, resulting in sports fields and human recreational areas within those parks being damaged by CAGO grazing and inundation with hazardous CAGO feces.
High levels of Escherichia coli (E. coli) have been repeatedly documented during water testing within the lagoon system that runs through the city, forcing the city to place signage and recommend that citizens avoid recreational use that involves contact with the water. As a result of those findings, several of Foster City’s beaches have been included within a list of the ten most hazardous and polluted beaches in the state during multiple y ears. The most likely cause of E. coli within this water system is feces deposits from waterbirds (e.g., CAGO and gulls ssp.), according to water quality testing analysis.
Foster City is located approximately 17 miles south of San Francisco, California, o n the western shore of San Francisco Bay. San Francisco Bay provides many types and vast amounts of available habitat to be used by CAGO for foraging, roosting, and nesting. The city is located approximately 12 miles northwest of Don Edwards National Wildl ife Refuge, which is managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS), and only 9 miles from the Eden Landing State Ecological Reserve, which is managed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
Both of those large properties are managed to encourage and support presence of wildlife, including migratory CAGO , with t he distances between those properties and Foster City being relatively short “as the goose flies.” Canada Geese that utilize Foster City, are likely to use those properties, an d larger populations within those state and federal wildlife areas may serve as source populations, supporting fast refill as individuals are removed from Foster City during management activities.
Foster City owns and maintains twenty-four parks or park areas, consisting of 160 acres, which are used for a diverse set of activities such as tennis, baseball, soccer, basketball, rollerblading, biking, picnics, and others (Foster City 2022). Originally designed for recreation and drainage detention and completed in 1971, the Foster City Lagoon consists of around 200 acres (surface area) and 16.5 miles of shoreline connecting to seven parks, including three with beach and swimming access (Marlin, Erckenbrack, and Gull). The majority of the shoreline is privately owned by residents and businesses, but water activities, such as paddle boarding, swimming, windsurfing, kayaking, and electric boating, are common throughout the lagoon.
The city has attempted hazing/deterring CAGO from city parks during recent years, using tactics such as dogs, robots, treating grass with an avian repellent, and using vehicles or lawn maintenance equipment (i.e. leaf blower, lawn mower, utility vehicle), yet CAGO remain, and their numbers may be increasing within parks. On 14 October 2022, Foster City issued a Request for consulting services to develop an Integrated Canada Goose Population Management Plan for the City of Foster City. This document was developed and is being provided in response to that request.
SECTION III: QUALIFICATIONS AND RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
Wildlife Innovations, Inc. is a biological consulting firm and DGS certified small and micro business, based in California, that specializes in wildlife management to support the recovery of threatened and endangered species and mitigation of wildlife-hazards and human-wildlife conflict throughout the state. Wildlife Innovations has extensive experience working on a diverse set of city, state, and federal properties, including in areas that require a higher level of operational awareness, such as military installations, busy construction sites, state parks, state Ecological Reserves, and airports, some of which include areas directly accessible to the public. Senior staff members have been designing and implementing effective wildlife management programs for
11.1 Attachment 3 - Proposal
236
2 over 15 years. As a part of developing these wildlife management programs, WI has assisted in the drafting of Scopes of Work (SOW) for the USFWS, city airports, and Regional Parks Districts, and has authored predator control plans for the USFWS, US Navy , and US Marine Corps.
Elements integral to the design of such programs included the development of site -specific approaches which employed techniques to meet each program’s objectives. These plans also included steps necessary for compliance with state or federal permits, prevent ing negative impacts to sensitive habitats and species within or near the management area(s) , and avoiding actions that would impede landowner and/or public use of each property. Plans and work often included the utilization of pyrotechnics, firearms, and/or an array of trap types within areas heavily used by the public or other humans. Therefore, those plans incorporated methodology to address employee and public safety concerns as well as defined measures that would be taken to reduce the potential for exposure of management methods to the community.
Wildlife Innovations has designed programs for and currently manages mammals (small to large), corvids, raptors, owls, and other avian species in support of listed species recovery or wildlife hazard mitigation programs. Managing a diverse set of species simultaneously requires personnel to have extensive knowledge in the identification of an array of species, their sign (including evidence of damage or predation), behavior, and ecology in order to select the most effective and efficient management methods. Intelligent and urban adapted species such as coyote ( Canis latrans), American Crow ( Corvus brachyrhynchos), and Common Raven ( Corvus corax ) are notoriously challenging to manage, but WI has demonstrated years of successful management of such species despite challenging site constraints within urban and semi -urban areas. As each targeted individual, group, and site characteristics require a customized approach, we are confident th at our experience and skills can be adapted to designing an effective and comprehensive Plan for Foster City.
Current Engagements and Affirmation of Staff Availability Wildlife Innovations has a growing number of personnel that support a variety of both seasonal and year-round projects. Project commitments vary seasonally, and staff are shifted between projects, with additional staff hired as needed to support all projects and commitments made by WI. When of advantage or needed , in support of contracted ob ligations, WI may subcontract specialists, especially when project aspects require specialized experience not available within fulltime staff. Wildlife Innovations affirms that we currently have staff availability necessary to complete all Tasks outlined within this proposal and will do so within the proposed timeframe identified for each. In addition to authoring the Plan for Foster City, WI is also prepared to provide comprehensive management of CAGO within Foster City , and CAGO nest/egg managem ent within Bair Island, upon request and within the guidelines established within the Plan when completed.
Specific Employee Experience and Role
Wildlife Innovations will staff writing of the Plan with one Project Manager (PM), up to two Specialists (SP), and additional staff as needed, to support all Tasks including Optional Tasks, with additional support from one Principal Investigator (PI) as needed. The schedules of those individuals will be adjusted as needed to complete tasks contracted by Foster City within agreed upon timeframes. A description of each staff -members expected involvement are provided by Task, and some of their relevant qualifications are provided below; however, resumes for primary staff that will be involved with this project are provided within Section VIII of this proposal.
Principal Investigator (PI) —President of Wildlife Innovations, S. Jake Manley, will serve as PI for this project, providing support as needed for the writing and delivery of all Tasks. Jake has more than 12 years of experience conducting wildlife management for threatened and endangered species protection , human -wildlife conflict mitigation, and general wildlife

SECTION IV: PROPOSED APPROACH
Task 1: Preparation of an Integrated Population Management plan for Foster City, CA Wildlife Innovations will design and author the Plan for Foster City. The long-term, adaptive Plan will include steps to reduce the damage to city parks caused by resident CAGO and mitigate the human health hazard stemming from large amounts of feces within public parks and waterways.
The current problems will be reviewed, potential and specific solutions identified (with associated steps for achieving each ), and criteria will be developed for evaluating outcomes and informing continued enhancement of an adaptive management program during each subsequent year.
The Plan will include measures to identify, evaluate, and address the following components of CAGO management within and near Foster City, California:
1) Community education and outreach to inform the public of the human -goose conflict and ensure ongoing understanding and support for proposed management actions, as well as work with the City’s Communications team to develop and distribute information to the local media
2) Review of existing information on CAGO populations in Foster City including documented impacts related to their activity (e.g., damage to turf, excessive droppings, etc.) 3) CAGO biology and regulations surrounding the management of this wildlife species
11.1 Attachment 3 - Proposal
238
4 4) Review applied management techniques from other municipalities and regulatory agencies and their roles in managing the CAGO population
5) The Plan will identify that e nvironmental review is required under the Cali fornia Environmental Quality Act
o Note actual review for compliance with CEQA will not be conducted under the budget identified for authoring the Plan. Environmental review for compliance with CEQA may be provided upon request and for additional cost, identified within Optional Task 1. 6) The Plan will describe benefits as well as specific conflicts that exist with CAGO in Foster City parks and public spaces
7) A map and description of parks, based on satellite scouting, and summary of observational surveys of the CAGO population, collected and provided by Foster City , will be used in development of the Plan.
o It is recommended that a more i n-depth assessment of each park or select management area, via additional surveys/transects, be conducted and that data used to better inform the development of the Plan.
o These may be provided upon request as an Optional Task at the r ates identified in Optional Tasks 2-3 in Section VI.
8) The Plan will comprise the d evelopment objectives (both short -term and long -term) for CAGO population control and management
9) General habitat management recommendations to deter CAGO , that identify commonly used non-lethal techniques and describe methods that could be used for capture and removal of CAGO, will be provided within the Plan.
o A m ore in -depth habitat assessment and recommendations for deterrence and management of CAGO for each park or property are recommended and may be provided at additional costs, which are outlined within Optional Task 2. 10) Population projections for CAGO within Foster City, under potential management scenarios, will be provided using general CAGO reproductive trends and observational data provided by Foster City.
o More accurate and area-specific population projections can be provided; however, additional nesting season surveys, of properties within Foster City and areas nearby used for nesting, will be necessary to produce the most accurate population projections
▪ Such surveys can be cond ucted, upon request of Foster City, at the rates identified in Optional Task 4 in Section VI.
11) Steps for measuring the success of future management, that will allow for continuous reevaluation and adapt ation of the plan and associated management actions , will be included within the Plan, along with a cost benefit analysis component 12) The P lan will include steps to promote long-term effectiveness and sustainability that considers coordination with all entities and stakeholders including developers, planners, landscape designers, homeowner’s associations, businesses, realty companies, the public and duplicated in other municipalities in the metropolitan area, as much as feasible within the scope and costs provided.
11.1 Attachment 3 - Proposal
239
5 Assumptions for Task 1:
a. The CEQA Review will not be performed as a part of authoring the Plan. If Foster City would like CEQA Review to be performed, additional projected costs for those services, including time and billing rates, are provided within Optional Tasks (1a-1b) in Section VI of this document.
b. The time required to complete the environmental review process for compliance with CEQA may be dictated by the availability and responsiveness of state or federal agency personnel. Therefore, if Optional Task 1a-1b are requested by Foster City, the timeline identified for completion of the Plan (60 Days) will be extended to allow the Plan to be adjusted based on the final results of the CEQA analysis, which will be incorporated into the plan before it is finalized. c. The number of days required to complete Optional Tasks 1a-1b will not exceed the number identified in Section VI. If additional days or hours are required to complete these tasks, and upon approval of the city representative, additional costs will be billed at the rates identified in Section VI. d. Habitat modification recommendations provided within the Plan will be made based on literature and general knowledge of CAGO foraging behavior, known food attractants, and techniques used successfully within other management programs.
• Onsite field surveys of habitat available within select or all Foster City parks may be provided upon request, with site-specific recommendations for habitat modifications or exclusionary approaches within parks provided in the Plan, at the additional cost identified in Optional Task 2 in Section VI. e. All CAGO survey data used for development of the Plan has been collected by Foster City and/or other sources and will be provided to WI for summary and inclusion within the Plan; therefore, no additional field surveys or data collection will be required of WI to complete the Plan. No additional data or site visits will be required for preparation of the Plan.
• If additional site visits or field surveys are required, they may be provided at the rates identified within Optional Task 3 in Section VI. f. It is recommended that additional CAGO and habitat survey data are collected from within specific Foster City Parks or other local properties with CAGO issues to: 1) better inform management plan preparation; 2) collect more scientifically defensible data, using standardized digital and/or physical surveillance methods; and 3) provide a better baseline to be used to evaluate the efficacy and success of future management efforts as a part of a Comprehensive CAGO Management Program.
• At the request of Foster City, WI will conduct focused CAGO and/or habitat surveys within identified Foster City parks or other properties for the additional cost identified in Optional Tasks 2 and 3 in Section VI. Data collected during surveys will be reviewed and a summary provided within the Plan.
11.1 Attachment 3 - Proposal
240
6 Optional Task 1a: Initial CEQA Review and Report
All existing applicable documents, reports and permits will be reviewed for Foster City Lagoon and the relevant vicinity. The purpose is to identify what permits are in place and determine if there are any gaps in data or permit requirements for compliance with CEQA or other federal, state, or local laws. In addition, during the review, the potential for biologically sensitive resources (i.e. federally and/or state-listed threatened and endangered species, migratory birds, bald and golden eag les as well as other locally sensitive species or sensitive habitats) that could be impacted by the actions proposed within the Plan, will be analyzed. Wildlife Innovations will coordinate with Foster City or the appropriate agency to share results of findings and/or address any questions.
A report will be authored and submitted that summarizes the findings from the background review and identifies any necessary actions and /or the process for compliance with CEQA or other federal or state or local laws.
Optional Task 1b: Initial Study/Negative Declarations/Mitigated Negative Declarations Results from Optional Task 1a shall inform what type of environmental review is required. An Initial Study (IS) is a preliminary analysis which is prep ared to determine the relative environmental impacts associated with a proposed project. The IS is designed as a measuring mechanism to determine if a project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment, thereby triggering the need to prepare a full environmental Impact Report (EIR). It also functions as an evidentiary document containing information which supports conclusions that the project will not have a significant environmental impact or that the impacts can be mitigated to a “Less Than Significant” or “No Impact” level. If an IS is required, then the potential environmental effects of actions proposed within he Plan will be evaluated.
Based on the IS, additional documents and/or surveys may be required. Survey design and efforts will be developed wit hin the proposed costs as much as possible , but if additional services or efforts are required beyond the level predicted within the Costs table for this Task, then additional costs will be billed at the rates identified in Section VI. If an IS is appropriate to better evaluate the potential impacts associated with the project, a checklist will be filled out to support preparation of a Negative Declaration (ND) or a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). If the IS determines there are impacts that cannot be mitigated, then an EIR may be required.
If there is no substantial evidence that the actions proposed within the Plan may have a significant effect on the environment, a ND will be performed. If the IS identifies potentially significant effects, but: (1) revisions in the project plans or proposals would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur; and (2) there is no substantial evidence that the project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment, then a MND shall be prepared.
Assumptions for Optional Task 1b:
a. Optional Task 1b cannot be performed without completing Optional Task 1a. b. Environmental Review for compliance wit h CEQA will be completed within the number of days identified within the Costs table for this Task. a. If additional time or effort are required to complete Environmental Review and compliance of the actions proposed within the Plan with CEQA , additional costs will be billed at the rates identified within the cost table for this Task in Section VI.
c. The time required to complete the environmental review process for compliance with CEQA may be dictated by the availability and responsiveness of state or federal agency personnel. Therefore, if Optional Task 1a -1b are requested by
11.1 Attachment 3 - Proposal
241
7 Foster City, the timeline iden tified for completion of the Plan (60 Days) will be extended to allow the Plan to be adjusted based on the final results of the CEQA analysis, which will be incorporated into the plan before it is finalized.
Optional Task 2: Customized Habitat Assessment and Management Recommendations Park properties will be physically surveyed, with existing habitat evaluated, described, and photographed, and customized site-specific recommendations provided for habitat modifications, exclusion, deterrence, or other management of CAGO, will be developed and included within the Plan.
Optional Task 3: CAGO Surveys to Evaluate Site Use and Inform Development of the Plan Surveys will be conducted for presence of CAGO , targeting known activity periods , and fecal transects will be established and surveyed to better quantify CAGO activity within Foster City Park properties. Surveys will be conducted 2-3 days per week, for a period of approximately six months, and not to exceed 44 total survey days. Survey data will be used to provide a baseline of CAGO presence (i.e. which parks are being used by CAGO and estimates on how many individuals are using Foster City Park properties), timing of presence (i.e. morning, evening, etc.), access points, and directional and behavioral use by CAGO (i.e. entry, exit, foraging, loafing, etc.), to inform habitat modificatio n, deterrence recommendations, and future manage ment efforts. Additional surveillance for CAGO using cellular -transmission capable cameras may be conducted to supplement data collected during physical surveys and provide more comprehensive, 24/7 surveillance of CAGO activity within priority properties. A summary of results and associated recommendations will be included within the Plan.
Assumptions for Optional Task 3:
a. If this additional level of customization and Plan development is requested by Foster City, WI will conduct CAGO surveys for the additional cost identified in Optional Task 3 in Section VI.
b. Data collected will be analyzed and incorporated into the Plan ; therefore, the timeline for completion of the finalized Plan will be extended until completion of the surveys.
c. Access to parks and other Foster City properties to be surveyed will not be restricted in a way that prevents the surveys from being completed within the amount of effort identified within Optional Task 3 in Section VI.
SECTION V: PROPOSED SCHEDULE
Wildlife Innovations will utilize different staff levels to develop and author portions of the Plan and deliver a finished product within 60 days of a fully executed contract by Foster City. If Optional Tasks are requested to be added to the scope of services to be provided by WI, the completion date for delivery of the Plan will be extended to allow for the additional services to be completed and included within the finalized Plan.
