roosts of pallid bat ( Antrozous pallidus) are present inthe project vicinity, specifically within any trees that are located adjacent to the project site.
Within 14 days prior to the commencement of pre-construction activities, a daytime visual and nighttime fly-out acoustic survey for bats will be conducted. The daytime survey will consist of scanning adjacent trees and artificial structures for suitable roosting sights and searching the ground below for bat guano. Following the daytime survey, a nighttime emergence fly-out survey will be conducted to detect any bats that roosting in tree bark and tree cavities. The surveys will be conducted by two (2) biologists and will include trees and woodland areas located no more than 100 feet from the project site. To observe and/or record emerging bats, the nighttime emergence survey will occur for approximately 5 hours starting at one-hour prior to darkness.
Acoustic bat detection devices will be used during the nighttime survey to record the inaudible ultrasonic (echolocation) calls of emerging bats, including a Pettersson D240x and a Wildlife Acoustics EchoMeter Touch that uses Kaleidoscope Pro Analytics. These detection devices allow for a full- spectrum call analysis to be performed that will result in the identification of different species and their activities without handling individuals. In addition to the species data collected on site, the abiotic conditions will also be documented, includi ng relative humidity, temperature, wind speed, and moon phase throughout the night.
In accordance with CDFW SAA Section 2.16, if roosting bats are observed, a Rincon biologist will establish an avoidance buffer and biological monitoring will be provided to document minimization measures and lack of impacts to the roosting colony during construction activities. If a bat roosting colony is present and cannot be avoided by project activities, Rincon can provide for an additional fee support in consultation with CDFW to determine the appropriate course of action.
Rincon will prepare a memorandum describing the methods and results of the bat survey. The memorandum will be submitted to the City within 5 business days following completion of the surveys.
Assumptions
One daytime presence/absence visual survey and one nighttime fly-out observation survey using electronic bat detection equipment will be conducted.
Assumes no bat roosting colony will be detected and no bat exclusion measures will be installed, oragency consultation will be required.
Two Rincon qualified biologists will perform the daytime and nighttime surveys.
Eight hours is assumed to conduct the daytime and nighttime survey, including travel time.

One memorandum report will be prepared and submitted within 5 business days. (vi) Rincon Task 7.2.4 Monarch Butterfly Surveys
In accordance with Mitigation Measure AN-4: Conduct Monarch Butterfly Surveys and Avoidance, construction impacts to monarch butterflies will be avoided or minimized by performing site-specific surveys for roosting butterflies prior to removal of large eucalyptus trees. This includes along t he Ekwill Street extens ion where there are moderate groves of eucalyptus trees that provide ESHA for monarch butterflies.
A qualified Rincon biologist will conduct a pre-construction survey for roosting monarchs in areas supporting suitable habitat throughout the project site, including a 100-foot buffer area, during the overwintering season (October 1 through March 1). A roost is determined by the presence of clusters of 10 or more monarch butterflies and avoidance measures will be established if roosts occur within 100 feet of the tree or vegetation removal activity areas. If needed based on time elapsed between the initial survey and the start of work activities, a second butterfly roost survey will be completed within 14 days prior to vegetation removal activities in or adjacent to the identified locations of roost habitat. Any additional surveys that may be needed can be provided for an additional fee.
The locations of any potential monarch roosting sites will be delineated on a graphic of the project site that will be included in a succinct survey report. The report will be prepared and submitted to the City within 5 business days following the completion of the survey.
Assumptions
One preconstruction survey for rootin g butterflies will be conducted during the overwintering season (beginning October 1 through the January contract period) in areas that are identified asroosting habitat.
The cost provided here assumes no additi onal pre-construction survey will be required based on time elapsed between the initial survey and the start of activities.
Surveys will include up to a 100-foot buffer from the limits of the project disturbance buffer.

14.3 AMENDMENT 5 SCOPE. Due to the changes to the Fowler Road project, there is additional Right of Way work that must be completed. The new knuckle at the western end of Fowler Road at Technology Drive will require a small right of way acquisition as well as modifications to the Temporary Construction Easement at the same parcel. At this point in the project, the majority of the right of way work has been completed for the Fowler Road project, and escrow has closed for the Temporary Construction Easement.
Additional work is therefore required to obtaining a Preliminary Title Report, Appraisal, and Acquisition. The additional effort includes work for subconsultant MNS for surveying to complete the appraisal map, and for subconsultant Hamner, Jewell & Associates to complete the appraisals and acquisition work.
14.4 AMENDMENT 6 SCOPE. Revise and update acquisition work for parcels affected by the changes resulting from Caltrans requirements to keep the Ekwill Fowler Project independent for right of way work. Extend the work required for ongoing negotiations with other parcels that have expanded into protracted negotiations.
TASK 15: UTILITY COORDINATION
Consultant shall provide utility coordination throughout the project in accordance with Chapter 13 of the Caltrans’ Right of Way Manual as required. This task involves communicating the City’s project to the utility owners within the project limits and working with them to complete their plans and reloca tions for those utilities that conflict with the proposed project. Anticipated work under this task is as follows:
15.1 VERIFY EXISTING UTILITIES : Collect available utility information and review the topographic base map in order to identify existing utilities. A utility base map shall be prepared and sent to utility owners for verificati on. Part of the verification process is to obtain additional utility information from the owners such as as-built record drawings and atlas sheets, as well as determining the facility’s function.
Finally, the utility base map is revised us ing the utility owner provided items and information our team has developed over the course of the task.
Utility Base Map: Prepare a utility base map to be used in conjunction with the topographic base map. Essentially, this base map documents the best available utility location information such as: USA markings; interpretation of as-built record drawings and utility atlas sheets; and pothole information.
Utility Matrix: Prepare a utility matrix to organize and document in one location all the utility coordination activities including: owner; contact name, telephone,
321
City of Goleta
Amendment No. 10 to Agreement No. 2012-090
and facsimile numbers; mailing and ph ysical addresses; email addresses; dates and methods of communication; description of effected utility; method of conflict resolution, if any; status of relocation plans, if any; etc.
This matrix is provided to the City and utility owners to provide a transparent understanding of all the utility locations, conflicts, and issues to all potentially affected stakeholders. For example, often cable TV and telephone facilities are carried on electric poles. Using the matrix, the cable TV/telephone representatives can get a clear understanding of the project impacts to poles which they are on, but over which they have little to no control over.
Utility Letter A (Verification) Package: Letter, matrix and associated plans that outline the proposed design and right-of-way, and existing utilities as mapped in the field. This letter puts the utility owner on notice that the City is intending to construct a project that may affect their facilities.
As-Built Record Drawings: A primary function of the Utility Letter A is to gather and incorporate into the utility base mapping any utility owner record drawings or other pertinent information.
15.2 POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION AND DETERMINATION OF LIABILITY : Prepare and execute a potholing plan to provide positive identificati on and location of utility facilities that may conflict with the project.
High-risk vs. low-risk utility facilities will also be identified.
Potholing: Obtaining positive location information of underground utilities that may be in conflict with the proposed project improvements, and all high-risk utilities within the project limits. The potholes will be surveyed and added to the project topo maps. Since the exact number of potholes cannot be determined in advance, consultant has assumed approximately two full days of potholing activity will be needed.
Utility Letter B (Request for Relocation Plans) Package: Letter, updated matrix and associated plans that identify pote ntial utility conflicts and approximate relocation schedules. This is a formal coordination letter that identifies the relocation work and schedule required to complete the relocations. Packages shall be sent to all utility owners within the project limits – regardless of potential conflict or not – in order to provide transparency of all utility coordination.
Relocation Parameters: Provide utility relocation parameters for utility owner relocations plans.
15.3 COORDINATE RELOCATION : Coordinate any and all modifications, changes, or relocations of existing underground and/or overhead utilities with respective utility companies. Where feasible, every effort shall be made to complete any and all modifications, changes, or relocations of ex isting underground and/or overhead utilities prior to construction.
Should the utility companies or the City decide to underground existing overhead utilities as part of the relocation, or desire the installation of conduits for future undergrounding
322
City of Goleta
Amendment No. 10 to Agreement No. 2012-090
or expansion of their facilities, Consultant shall work with the respective utility companies to incorporate their design into the plan set and assist in the development of cost sharing between the utility companies and the City in the utility relocation agreements for the additional cost of trenching, conduits, vaults, etc. associated with the undergrounding.
The design of any “dry” utilities (overhead or underground) is not a part of this scope of work.
This scope of work assumes that the City shall prepare any utility relocation agreements.
Schedules and progress reports for utility efforts shall be prepared. Plans and cost estimates provided by the utility companies shall be reviewed and recommendations shall be made.
Field Meetings: Attend field meetings with utility owner representatives.
Utility Specifications: Prepare special prov isions relating to utility coordination during construction including timing and duration of construction windows for utility relocations performed by owner’s forces.
Utility Plans: Finalize utility plans for contract documentation plan set.
Utility “C” Letter (Notice to Owner) Package: Letter, updated matrix and final project plans that show location and elevation of existing utility and the proposed utility relocations. This letter sa tisfies the requirements in regard to utility conflicts.
RE Pending File: The last step of this task is to provide documentation of the utility coordination effort for the City and the RE Pending file. This will provide the City with
15.4 AMENDMENT 3 SCOPE. Expanded utility coordination due to the presence of several mainline trunk utilities that run along Hollister Avenue. Utility relocation efforts for these facilities are going to require ad ditional potholing (20 or iginal vs. 60 now), along with intensive coordination to accomplish the staged construction on Hollister Avenue.
15.5 AMENDMENT 5 SCOPE.The utility coordination process has proven to be much more extensive than originally scoped. The level of coordination and utility design for the Hollister Avenue/Route 217 Roundabouts has proved to be more extensive than originally scoped and requires extension additional coordination with the Hollister Avenue Bridge project, as well. Amendment 5 addresses the additional work by DHA to complete the utility coordination for the project.
Temporary traffic signal staging plans have expanded to four stages of construction with multiple signal head moves for each stage. Consequently, DHA will secure a new electrical subconsultant (Y&C) to prepare up to an additional 18 plan sheets to accommodate the various stages of construction for the signals and streetlights.
15.6 AMENDMENT 6 SCOPE. Continue coordination with the owners of affected utilities. This coordination will be on-going throughout the remainder of the design

City of Goleta
Amendment No. 10 to Agreement No. 2012-090
project. The work includes coordinating final relocation plans with utility owners, and assisting the City with utility agreements, a nd preparing the final utility relocation letters. Upon receipt of comments on the 95% submittal package, facilitate a review session with the City to discuss review comments and resolve any conflicting comments.
Revise the plans to delete the Caltrans style lights and add custom streetlights in the City right of way. Modify technical special provisions to address City comments, changes to the plans, or unique revisions and coordinate them with the City boilerplate.
15.7 AMENDMENT 8 SCOPE. Additional Utility Coordination MNS will continue to coordinate with the owners of effected utilities. This coordination will be ongoing throughout the remainder of the project. The work includes coordinating final relocation plans with DHA designers and utility owners, and assisting the City with utility agreements, and preparing the final utility relocation letters.
15.8 AMENDMENT 9 SCOPE. Additional Utility Coordination.
Consultant shall continue to coordinate with the owners of effected utilities. The work includes coordinating final reloca tion plans with and utility owners and overseeing/monitoring pre-construction relocations.

Storm water issues in these areas will need to be permitted through the City of Santa Barbara.
x County of Santa Barbara: Small portions of the Fowler Road roundabout and the northbound SR217 off ramp at Hollis ter Avenue may impact County of Santa Barbara jurisdiction. If this is indeed the case, storm water issues in these areas may need to be addressed in accordance with the County of Santa Barbara storm water management program.
x Caltrans: The SR217 off/on ramps at Hollis ter Avenue are also under Caltrans jurisdiction. Caltrans standards and methodology will be used for this area.
Likewise, these local agencies will also r equire that storm wa ter quantity and quality project components be permitted through their departments under their plans/programs.
4.1.1 AMENDMENT 9 SCOPE DRAINAGE REPORT
This work includes additional MNA and sto rm water work requested by Caltrans and includes an updated Drainage Report for Hollister Avenue
4.2 STORM WATER QUALITY. Storm water quality is a major component of any project that disturbs over one (1) acre of land. Wate r pollution elimination requirements and water quality expectations are continually evolving and becoming stringent with the review and approval processes becoming more rigorous. Th is is more complicated for this project due to varying and sometimes overlapping jurisd iction in regard to storm water quality.
For this task, Consultant shall focus on three results:
x Design Recommendations & Review: Co nsultant shall provide drainage recommendations to the roadway engineers and will review the drainage plans for compatibility and conformance to the drainage report an d the drainage needs.

6.1.17 ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY ON AIRPORT PROPERTY (OPTIONAL TASK ). T h e Master Archaeological Resources A ssessment for the Santa Ba rbara Municipal Airport (2010) requires subsurface archaeological survey along the western portion of the Fowler Road Extension for any areas subject to deep cons truction impacts (>24-inches below ground surface). No archaeological investigation will be required if the project impacts are restricted to the upper 24-inches of the soil column.
This task is based on the assumption that futu re utilities may be placed in a four-foot- deep trench running along the Fowler Road Alternative. This study is described in the EIR as mitigation measure CUL-3.
Based on Figure 6-1 of the Master Archaeological Resources Assessment for the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (2010), Consultant shall conduct subsurface archaeological testing along the Fowler Road Alternative from the west bank of Ol d San Jose Creek to the west side of the proj ect roundabout along Fairview Avenue, a distance of approximately 120 meters. A qualified archaeol ogist shall conduct the backhoe testing project to determine if archaeological remains are present and, if present, are potentially intact. As required, excavations will be moni tored by a Native American monitor. Six backhoe trenches spaced approximately at 20 m intervals will be excavated. It is assumed that subsurface testing can be limited to a depth of four feet below existing grade. The upper two feet will be excavated in one lift unle ss intact artifacts are noted. Excavations deeper than two feet would be excavated in 6- 15-inch lifts. Trench spoils and sidewalls would be inspected for artifacts. Consultant shall obtain an encroachment permit from the City of Goleta, if needed.
Prior to fieldwork, an updated site record search will be conducted for the footprint of the Fowler Road Alternative. This record search would be limited to discovering any new data that has been recorded since the most recent Ekwill/Fowler record search was conducted.
Assuming no artifacts are found, a negative su rvey will be documented in a brief letter report that incorporates by reference th e background information contained in the project’s Archaeological Survey Report. Evidence of the new record search and a map of the subsurface survey location would be comp leted. The report will follow the City of Santa Barbara requirements.

Biological Compliance Measures
(a) Biological Compliance Measures
This cost estimate and scope covers biological compliance measures and surveys that are required to be conducted prior to the start of construc tion in accordance with the Ekwill Street and Fowler R oad Extensions Project EIR (EIR) and the various permits obtained for the Project, including the Ca lifornia Coastal Commission (CCC) Coastal Development Permit (CDP) No. 4-17-0264, Calif ornia Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Streambed Alteration Agreement (SAA) No. 1600-2014-0138-R5, Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Boar d (RWQCB) Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 34214WQ08, and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Nationwide Permit Verification (NWP) No. SPL-2014-00509.
We understand the work to be performed during this period involves tree removal and general site preparation prior to the start of construc tion and hiring of a general contractor. This cost estimate does not include coordination with the general contractor or surveys and monitoring that would need to be completed immediately before and during construction (e.g., continual nesting bird surveys), which Rincon will provide under a scope of work directly to the general contractor.
It is our understanding that construction would begin in Febr uary 2022 and end in December 2024, and that Ekwi ll Street and Fowler Road will be built first, followed by the Hollister Avenue improvements and Holliste r Avenue Bridge. This scope of work covers pre-construction tasks only to be performed roughly between September 2021 and January 2022 in preparation for tree removal ahead of project construction. Rincon understands that tree removal may begin as early as October 2021 and may likely occur as late as December 2021 or January 2022. We assume that any tasks initiated after this scope of work ends in January 2022 would be provided under a separate scope of work directly with the general contractor (e.g., continual nesting bird surveys).

The following scope of work is organized based on requirements outlined in the EIR and natural resource agency permits. The work windows established for the Project’s pre- construction surveys and construction monitoring per the EIR and permits, which were used to inform the scope of work below and es tablish a schedule of required activities (Attachment 1).
(i) Rincon Task 7.1 Project Environmental Coordination and Management Tasks (New Task)
This task is for general project environmental coordinator (PEC) responsibilities, project management, pre-construction survey kick- off coordination and meetings, general tracking of and initial set up of project compliance measures, agency coordination, and staff approvals. This task involves m anagement of all pre-construction compliance tasks (outlined herein), organization of a field compliance binder with all relevant measures complied to be kept on the projec t site during all work activities, and coordination with the City and necessary coordination with the resource agencies over the course of the pre- cons truction phase. This task also includes quality assurance reviews of daily monitoring logs, reports, and other deliverables by principal and senior level staff, as well as administrative staf f support for account management.

during pre-construction surveys, such as federal Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation. If a task requested by the agencies exceeds the allotted budget due to size or complexity, a separate scope and budget may be warranted. (ii) Rincon Task 7.2 Pre-cons truction Surveys (New Task) The following sub-tasks are for required pre-construction surveys based on the Project EIR mitigation measures and agency permit conditions. The scope provided is for pre- construction surveys and documentation to determine if sensitive biological resources are present in the project vicinity and to determine the appropriate avoidance measures to implement during pre-constr uction site preparatio n and construction activities. Rincon assumes a time frame of September 2021 through January 2022 for these tasks.
(iii) Rincon Task 7.2.1 30-Day Pre-construction Surveys In accordance with CDP condition 5, Rinc on qualified biologists will conduct pre- construction wildlife clearance surveys wit hin 30 calendar days prior to approved construction activities to detect any active sensitive species, reproductive behavior, and late nesting activity within 500 feet of the project site.
Rincon will include the findings (including negative findings) of pre-construction wildlife clearance surveys in a report to be submitted to the City and regulatory agencies (as required by pending permits). The report will document observations of wildlife observed during all pre-construction surveys. Based on CDFW requirements for similar projects, if a special status plant or wildlife species is observed, we will prepare a protection plan and California Natural Diversity Database form for that species in addition to this report under a separate scope of work.
Assumptions
We assume a single pre-construction survey effort will be needed to ensure timely completion of the survey prior to tree re moval at all three r oad segments and to plan for any avoidance measures that mi ght be required prior to the initial construction phase.
Two staff will perform the survey.
The survey is planned for eight hours, including travel and mobilization time. We assume no special status species will be detected on the project site and no follow up agency consultation or permitting will be required. If late nesting birds are observed, the Nesting Bird Management Plan will be implemented.
One report will be prepared to summarize the results of the surveys.
356
City of Goleta
Amendment No. 9 to Agreement No. 2012-090
We assume minimal comment and revision will be needed on the report. Any agency consultation support that may be needed in the event that a state or federally listed is identified would be covered under a separate scope of work. (iv) Rincon Task 7.2.2 Biological Monitoring and Installation of ESHA Fencing In accordance with EIR Mitigation Measure NA-1: Protection and Replacement of Riparian Habitat, CDFW SAA Section 2.13 and 2.21, and CDP Condition 5E, a biological monitor will be pr esent on the project site during vegetation removal to ensure that no sensitive species are present in the area. In addition, a minimization measure of the Tree Protection Plan, prepared as described under Task 3.4 below, will include the requirement that a biological monitor will be present during all tree removal activities.
The biological monitor will be experienced in identifying fauna that may be present in the vegetation that will be removed. Rincon will provide a biological monitor that will be pre-approved by the City to prov ide oversight of tree remova l, implementation of tree protection measures, and tree monitoring during construc tion. The arborist, or a qualified biologist under direct supervision by the arborist, will monitor all work that will occur immediately adjacent to protected trees (i.e., generally any ground disturbing activity within 5-feet from the tree’s dripline), including during tree removal, pruning, trimming, or root cutting that would occur prior to construction activities. Based on our familiarity with the project site, we assume that approximately 200 trees will be removed that would require the biological monitor/ar borist to be present (a separate task to conduct a tree inventory update is provided below in Task 3.4).
In accordance with EIR Mitigation Measures NA-1 and WE-1: Avoid Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas, as well as CDFW SAA sections 2.7, 2.11, 2.14 and 2.21 relating to environmentally sensitive habita t areas (ESHA), riparian vegetation within portions of the work area wit hin the stream must be fe nced and/or flagged to prevent inadvertent impacts during construction activities. Rincon staff will install exclusionary fencing between the project site and adjacent natural areas to pr event wildlife from moving into the construction zone. Exclusion fencing will consist of T-post, or similar material, with orange construction fence, or similar material, bound to it. Exclusion fence will be highly visible and will be appr oximately 4 feet ta ll. Maintenance of exclusion fending around protected trees and ESHA for the duration of the construction project will be a requirement of the Tree Protection Pl an (see Task 3.4below). The biological monitor/arborist will oversee the installation of protection fencing around sensitive resources and will per iodically inspect fencing to ensure it remains in good repair.
Assumptions
Assumes one biologist will be on site dur ing vegetation and/or tree removal activities to monitor for sensitive natural resources and compliance with avoidance

measures.
We have assumed a monitor day rate of $1 ,230, inclusive of tr avel and equipment direct costs.
We assume tree and vegetation removal activities will require 10 days of monitoring. Any additional monitoring days required beyond 10 will be billed at the $1,230 daily rate.
Workdays will be eight hours, with one additional hour for travel and mobilization. ESHA fencing will be installed prior to any ground disturbance and will be installed by Rincon staff. Materials required for fencing will be reimbursable to the project. If ground conditions are such that fence installation by hand is not possible, the area will be flagged with high-visibility fragging and will not be fenced. (v) Rincon Task 7.2.3 Bat Surveys
In accordance with SAA Section 2.16, avoidance buffers and mitigation measures for protection of roosting bats must be established prior to pr oject implementation and a biologist must conduct monitoring to determi ne if construction may impact a roosting colony. Rincon will conduct a pre- constructi on survey to determine whether active roosts of pallid bat ( Antrozous pallidus) are present in the project vicinity, specifically within any trees that are located adjacent to the project site.
Within 14 days prior to the commencement of pre-construction activities, a daytime visual and nighttime fly-out acoustic survey for bats will be conducted. The daytime survey will consist of scanning adjacent trees and artificial structures for suitable roosting sights and searching the ground bel ow for bat guano. Following the daytime survey, a nighttime emergence fly-out survey will be conducted to detect any bats that roosting in tree bark and tree cavities. The surveys will be conducted by two (2) biologists and will include trees and woodland areas located no more than 100 feet from the project site. To observe and/or record emerging bats, the nighttime emergence survey will occur for approximatel y 5 hours starting at one-hour prior to darkness.
Acoustic bat detection devices will be used during the nighttime survey to record the inaudible ultrasonic (echoloc ation) calls of emerging bats, including a Pettersson D240x and a Wildlife Acousti cs EchoMeter Touch that uses Kaleidoscope Pro Analytics. These detection devises allow fo r a full- spectrum call analysis to be performed that will result in t he identification of different species and their activities without handling individuals. In addition to the species data collected on site, the abiotic conditions will also be documented, including relative humidity, temperature, wind speed, and moon phase throughout the night.
358
City of Goleta
Amendment No. 9 to Agreement No. 2012-090
In accordance with CDFW SAA Section 2.16, if roosting bats are observed, a Rincon biologist will establish an avoidance buffer and biological monitoring will be provided to document minimization measures and lack of impacts to the roosting colony during construction activities. If a bat roosting colony is pres ent and cannot be avoided by project activities, Rincon can provide for an additional fee support in consultation with CDFW to determine the appropriate course of action.
Rincon will prepare a memorandum describi ng the methods and results of the bat survey. The memorandum will be submitted to the City within 5 business days following completion of the surveys.
Assumptions
One daytime presence/absence visual survey and one nighttime fly-out observation survey using electronic bat detection equipment will be conducted. Assumes no bat roosting colony will be detected and no bat exclusion measures will be installed, or agency consultation will be required. Two Rincon qualified biologists will perform the daytime and nighttime surveys. Eight hours is assumed to conduct the daytime and nighttime survey, including travel time.
One memorandum report will be prepared and submitted within 5 business days. (vi) Rincon Task 7.2.4 Monarch Butterfly Surveys
In accordance with Mitigation Measure AN-4: Conduct Monarch Butterfly Surveys and Avoidance, construction impacts to monarch butterflies will be avoided or minimized by performing site-specific surveys for roosting butterflies prior to removal of large eucalyptus trees. This includes along the Ekwill Street extens ion where there are moderate groves of eucalyptus trees that provide ESHA for monarch butterflies.
A qualified Rincon biologist will conduct a pre-construction survey for roosting monarchs in areas supporting su itable habitat throughout the project site, including a 100-foot buffer area, during the overwintering season (October 1 through March 1). A roost is determined by the presence of clusters of 10 or more monarch butterflies and avoidance measures will be est ablished if roosts occur with in 100 feet of the tree or vegetation removal activity areas. If needed based on time elapsed between the initial survey and the start of work activities, a second butterfly roost survey will be completed within 14 days prior to vegetation removal activities in or adjac ent to the identified locations of roost habitat. Any additional surveys that may be needed can be provided for an additional fee.
The locations of any potential monarch roosting sites will be delineated on a graphic of the project site that will be included in a succinct surv ey report. The report will be
359
City of Goleta
Amendment No. 9 to Agreement No. 2012-090
prepared and submitted to the City within 5 business days following the completion of the survey.
Assumptions
One preconstruction survey for rooting bu tterflies will be conducted during the overwintering season (beginning October 1 through the January contract period) in areas that are identified as roosting habitat. The cost provided here assumes no additional pre-construction survey will be required based on time elapsed between the initial survey and the start of activities.
Surveys will include up to a 100-foot buffer from the limits of the project disturbance buffer.
Two staff will perform each survey.
Surveys are planned for eight hours each, including travel and mobilization time. If monarch butterflies are observed, the Species Protection Plan (see Task 3.3) will be implemented.
If monarch butterflies occur in trees that cannot be avoided, for an additional fee Rincon can provide support in consultation with CDFW to determine the appropriate course of action.
One memorandum report will be prepared to document the methods and results of the survey.
(vii) Rincon Task 7.3 Project Compliance Plans
The following plans are proposed in compliance with project mitigation measures under the MMRP and project permits (e.g., CDFW SAA Sec. 2.13, 2.18, and 2.19). Plans will vary in complexity depending on whether and to what extent sensitive natural resources are identified on the project.
(viii) Rincon Task 7.3.1 Nest ing Bird Management Plan
Rincon will prepare a nesting bird managem ent plan to address how to handle the occurrence of nests within the project impact footprint and buffer. The plan will discuss avoidance of impacts to nest, establishment of no-impact buffers, conditions under which buffer sized may be reduced to accommodate project activities and a discussion of how buffer reductions are to be handled in consultation with agencies. In cases in which buffer reduction would not be approved based on observed disturbance to the species, nest monitoring, and how project activities are to proceed to accommodate for nest avoidance will be outlined in the plan. The plan will include a table and

Rincon will conduct an updated tree inventory and pr epare an updated tree inventory report for the project that identifies protected trees that will be impacted prior to the initiation of construction. The updated tree inventory is required given the length of the elapsed since the initial tree inventory was completed (approx. 10 years).
All trees within the project f ootprint with diameter-at-breast-height (DBH) of 4 inches or greater will be mapped and tree condition and level of expected impact will be documented. A tree protection zone will be mapped and displayed on a graphic of the project site. The tree protection zone will be defined as the area within the tree dripline out to approximately 5-feet from the dripline to account for the tree’s critical root zone.
The Tree Protection Plan will include detailed discussion of methods for tree removal, trimming of branches, and cutting of roots to prevent excessive damage to trees that are not to be removed.

14.1 AMENDMENT 3 SCOPE. The original scope of services is amended to provide:
An independent fee reviewer to comply with Caltrans review appraisal requirements. (Original scope assumed Caltrans would provide this service).
Due to timeline differentials with obtaining environmental clearances and funding, the Newland and Bottiani parcels now have different appraisal and offer descriptions.
Acquisition for the parcels listed under Task 13.2 above.
14.2 AMENDMENT 4 SCOPE. The original scope of services is amended to provide:
x Additional effort related to unanticipated prolonged and complicated acquisition negotiations on several properties.
x Additional effort related to support services for the City’s filing of a Resolution of Necessity for five parcels.
x Additional effort relayed to requir ed revisions to existing appraisals for certain properties.
14.3 AMENDMENT 5 SCOPE. Due to the changes to the Fowler Road project, there is additional Right of Way work that must be completed. The new knuckle at the western end of Fowler Road at Technology Drive will require a small right of way acquisition as well as modifications to the Temporary Construction Easement at the same parcel. At this point in the project, the majority of the right of way work has been completed for the Fowler Road project, and escrow has closed for the Temporary Construction Easement.
Additional work is therefore required to obtaining a Preliminary Title Report, Appraisal, and Acquisition. The additional effort includes work for subconsultant MNS for surveying to complete the appraisal map, and for subconsultant Hamner, Jewell & Associates to complete the appraisals and acquisition work.

City of Goleta
Amendment No. 9 to Agreement No. 2012-090
independent for right of way work. Extend the work required for ongoing negotiations with other parcels that have expanded into protracted negotiations.
TASK 15: UTILITY COORDINATION
Consultant shall provide ut ility coordination throughout the project in accordance with Chapter 13 of the Calt rans’ Right of Way Manual as required. This task involves communicating the City’s project to the utility owners within the project limits and working with them to complete their plans and relocati ons for those utilities that conflict with the proposed project. Anticipated work under this task is as follows:
15.1 VERIFY EXISTING UTILITIES : Collect available utility information and review the topographic base map in order to identify existing utilities. A utility base map shall be prepared and sent to utility owners for verification. Part of the verification process is to obtain additional utility information from the owners such as as-built record drawings and atlas sheets, as well as determining the facility’s function.
Finally, the utility base map is revised usi ng the utility owner provided items and information our team has developed over the course of the task. x Utility Base Map: Prepare a utility base map to be used in conjunction with the topographic base map. Essentially, this base map documents the best available utility location information such as: USA markings; interpretation of as-built record drawings and utility atlas sheets; and pothole information. x Utility Matrix: Prepare a utilit y matrix to organize and document in one location all the utility coordination activities including: owner; contact name, telephone, and facsimile numbers; mailing and physi cal addresses; email addresses; dates and methods of communication; description of effected utility; method of conflict resolution, if any; status of relocation plans, if any; etc.
This matrix is provided to the City and utility owners to pr ovide a transparent understanding of all the utility locations, c onflicts, and issues to all potentially affected stakeholders. For example, often cable TV and telephone facilities are carried on electric poles. Using the matrix, the cable TV/telephone representatives can get a clear understanding of the project impacts to poles which they are on, but over which they have little to no control over.
x Utility Letter A (Verification) Package: Letter, matrix and associated plans that outline the proposed design and right-of-wa y, and existing utilities as mapped in the field. This letter puts the utility ow ner on notice that the City is intending to construct a project that may affect their facilities. x As-Built Record Drawings: A primary func tion of the Utility Letter A is to gather and incorporate into the utility base mapping any utility owner record drawings or other pertinent information.

Amendment No. 9 to Agreement No. 2012-090
15.2 POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION AND DETERMINATION OF LIABILITY : Prepare and execute a potholing plan to provide positiv e identification and location of utility facilities that may conflict with the project.
High-risk vs. low-risk utility facilities will also be identified. x Potholing: Obtaining positive location information of underground utilities that may be in conflict with the proposed proj ect improvements, and all high-risk utilities within the project limits. The potholes will be surveyed and added to the project topo maps. Since the exact num ber of potholes cannot be determined in advance, consultant has assumed approximately two full days of potholing activity will be needed.
x Utility Letter B (Request for Relocation Pl ans) Package: Letter, updated matrix and associated plans that i dentify potential utility co nflicts and approximate relocation schedules. This is a formal co ordination letter that identifies the relocation work and schedule required to complete the relocations. Packages shall be sent to all utility owners within the project limits – regardless of potential conflict or not – in order to provide transparency of all utility coordination. x Relocation Parameters: Provide utility relocation parameters for utility owner relocations plans.
15.3 COORDINATE RELOCATION : Coordinate any and all modifications, changes, or relocations of existing underground and/or ov erhead utilities with respective utility companies. Where feasible, every effort shall be made to complete any and all modifications, changes, or relocations of existing underground and/ or overhead utilities prior to construction.
Should the utility companies or the City decide to underground existing overhead utilities as part of the relocation, or desire the insta llation of conduits fo r future undergrounding or expansion of their facilities, Consultant shall work with the respective utility companies to incorporate their design into the plan set and assist in the development of cost sharing between the utility companies and the City in t he utility relocation agreements for the additional cost of trenching, conduits, vaults, etc. associ ated with the undergrounding.
The design of any “dry” utilities (overhead or underground) is not a part of this scope of work.
This scope of work assumes that the City shall prepare any utility relocation agreements.
Schedules and progress reports for utility efforts shall be prepared. Plans and cost estimates provided by the utility companies shall be reviewed and recommendations shall be made.
x Field Meetings: Attend field meetings with utility owner representatives. x Utility Specifications: Prepar e special provisions relating to utility coordination during construction including timing and dur ation of construction windows for utility relocations performed by owner’s forces.
x Utility Plans: Finalize utility plans fo r contract documentation plan set.

x Utility “C” Letter (Notice to Owner) Pa ckage: Letter, updated matrix and final project plans that show location and elevation of existing utility and the proposed utility relocations. This letter satisfies the requirements in regard to utility conflicts.
x RE Pending File: The last step of this task is to provide documentation of the utility coordination effort for the City and the RE Pending file. This will provide the City with
15.4 AMENDMENT 3 SCOPE. Expanded utility coordination due to the presence of several mainline trunk utilities that run along Hollister Avenue. Utility relocation efforts for these facilities are going to require add itional potholing (20 or iginal vs. 60 now), along with intensive coordination to acco mplish the staged construction on Hollister Avenue.
15.5 AMENDMENT 5 SCOPE. The utility coordination process has proven to be much more extensive than originally scoped. The level of coordination and utility design for the Hollister Avenue/Route 217 Roundabouts has proved to be more extensive than originally scoped and requires extension additional coordi nation with the Hollister Avenue Bridge project, as well. Amendment 5 addresses the additional work by DHA to complete the utility coordination for the project.
Temporary traffic signal staging plans have expanded to four stages of construction with multiple signal head moves for each stage. Consequently, DHA will secure a new electrical subconsultant (Y&C) to pr epare up to an additional 18 plan sheets to accommodate the various stages of construction for the signals and streetlights.
15.6 AMENDMENT 6 SCOPE. Continue coordination wit h the owners of affected utilities. This coordination will be on-goi ng throughout the remainder of the design project. The work includes coordinating final relocation plans with utility owners, and assisting the City with utilit y agreements, and preparing t he final utility relocation letters. Upon receipt of comments on the 95 % submittal package, facilitate a review session with the City to discuss review comments and resolve any conflicting comments.
Revise the plans to delete the Caltrans style lights and add custom streetlights in the City right of way. Modify technical spec ial provisions to address City comments, changes to the plans, or unique revisi ons and coordinate them with the City boilerplate.
15.7 AMENDMENT 8 SCOPE. Additional Utility Coordination MNS will continue to coordinate with the owners of effected utilities. This coordination will be ongoing throughout the remainder of the project. The work includes coordinating final relocation plans with DHA designers and utility owners, and assisting the City with utility agreements, and preparing the final utility relocation letters.

these areas may need to be addressed in accordance with the County of Santa Barbara storm water management program.
x Caltrans: The SR217 off/on ramps at Hollister Avenue are also under Caltrans jurisdiction. Caltrans standards and methodology will be used for this area.
Likewise, these local agencies will also require that storm water quantity and quality project components be permitted through their departments under their plans/programs.
4.2 STORM WATER QUALITY. Storm water quality is a major component of any project that disturbs over one (1) acre of land. Water pollution elimination requirements and water quality expectations are continually evolving and becoming stringent with the review and approval processes becoming more rigorous. This is more complicated for this project due to varying and sometimes overlapping jurisdiction in regard to storm water quality.
For this task, Consultant shall focus on three results:
x Design Recommendations & Review: Consultant shall provide drainage recommendations to the roadway engineers and will review the drainage plans for compatibility and conformance to the drainage report and the drainage needs.
x Permitting: Consultant shall prepare storm water permit applications and shepherd them through the various local agency processes. x Water Pollution Control Plans: Consultant shall prepare water pollution control plan and specifications for contract documentation plan set.
4.3 AMENDMENT 4 SCOPE. STORM WATER QUALITY . The California Regional Water Quality Control Board has adopted new regulations for post-construction storm water treatment that were not assumed in the original scope of work. This additional effort is necessary to .redesign the entire project to ensure the project retains and treats runoff prior to flowing into the receiving bodies of water (San Jose Creek, Old San Jose Creek or San Pedro Creek).
4.4 AMENDMENT 8 SCOPE. Additional Drainage and Stormwater Work This work includes the addition extensive coordination and design changes between Caltrans and the Regional Water Quality Control Board which will require revisions to the Roadway Drainage Report, Storm Water Data Report, and Post-Construction Requirement (PCR) calculations and exhibits for the Water Quality Certification application.

6.1.16 ATTEND CITY OF SANTA BARBARA PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING .
CONSULTANT staff, as approved by the City, shall attend the City of Santa Barbara Planning Commission public hearing.
6.1.17 ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY ON AIRPORT PROPERTY (OPTIONAL TASK ). The Master Archaeological Resources Assessment for the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (2010) requires subsurface archaeological survey along the western portion of the Fowler Road Extension for any areas subject to deep c onstruction impacts (>24-inches below ground surface). No archaeological investigation will be required if the project impacts are restricted to the upper 24-inches of the soil column.
This task is based on the assumption that future utilities may be placed in a four-foot- deep trench running along the Fowler Road Alternative. This study is described in the EIR as mitigation measure CUL-3.
Based on Figure 6-1 of the Master Archaeological Resources Assessment for the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (2010), Consultant shall conduct subsurface archaeological testing along the Fowler Road Alternative from the west bank of Old San Jose Creek to the west side of the project roundabout along Fairview Avenue, a distance of approximately 120 meters. A qualified archaeologist shall conduct the backhoe testing project to determine if archaeological remains are present and, if present, are potentially intact. As required, excavations will be monitored by a Native American monitor. Six backhoe trenches spaced approximately at 20 m intervals will be excavated. It is assumed that subsurface testing can be limited to a dept h of four feet below existing grade. The upper two feet will be excavated in one lift unless intact artifacts are noted. Excavations deeper than two feet would be excavated in 6-15-inch lifts. Trench spoils and sidewalls would be inspected for artifacts. Consultant shall obtain an encroachment permit from the City of Goleta, if needed.
Prior to fieldwork, an updated site record search will be conducted for the footprint of the Fowler Road Alternative. This record search would be limited to discovering any new data that has been recorded since the most recent Ekwill/Fowler record search was conducted.
Assuming no artifacts are found, a negative su rvey will be documented in a brief letter report that incorporates by reference the background information contained in the project’s Archaeological Survey Report. Evidence of the new record search and a map of the subsurface survey location would be completed. The report will follow the City of Santa Barbara requirements.

Biological Compliance Measures
(a) Biological Compliance Measures
This cost estimate and scope covers biological compliance measures and surveys that are required to be conducted prior to the start of construction in accordance with the Ekwill Street and Fowler Road Extensions Project EIR (EIR) and the various permits obtained for the Project, including the California Coastal Commission (CCC) Coastal Development Permit (CDP) No. 4-17-0264, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Streambed Alteration Agreement (SAA) No. 1600-2014-0138-R5, Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 34214WQ08, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Nationwide Permit Verification (NWP) No. SPL-2014-00509.
We understand the work to be performed during this period involves tree removal and general site preparation prior to the start of construction and hiring of a general contractor. This cost estimate does not include coordination with the general contractor or surveys and monitoring that would need to be completed immediately before and during construction (e.g., continual nesti ng bird surveys), which Rincon will provide under a scope of work directly to the general contractor.
It is our understanding that construction would begin in February 2022 and end in December 2024, and that Ekwill Street and Fowler Road will be built first, followed by the Hollister Avenue improvements and Hollister Avenue Bridge. This scope of work

City of Goleta
Amendment No. 6 to Agreement No. 2012-090
covers pre-construction tasks only to be performed roughly between September 2021 and January 2022 in preparation for tree removal ahead of project construction. Rincon understands that tree removal may begin as early as October 2021 and may likely occur as late as December 2021 or January 2022. We assume that any tasks initiated after this scope of work ends in January 2022 would be provided under a separate scope of work directly with the general contractor (e.g., continual nesting bird surveys).
The following scope of work is organized based on requirements outlined in the EIR and natural resource agency permits. The work windows established for the Project’s pre- construction surveys and construction monitoring per the EIR and permits, which were used to inform the scope of work below and establish a schedule of required activities (Attachment 1).
(i) Rincon Task 7.1 Project Environmental Coordination and Management Tasks (New Task)
This task is for general project environmental coordinator (PEC) responsibilities, project management, pre-construction survey ki ck-off coordination and meetings, general tracking of and initial set up of project compliance measures, agency coordination, and staff approvals. This task involves manage ment of all pre-construction compliance tasks (outlined herein), organization of a field compliance binder with all relevant measures complied to be kept on the project site during all work activities, and coordination with the City and necessary coordination with the resource agencies over the course of the pre- construction phase. This task also includes quality assurance reviews of daily monitoring logs, reports, and other deliverables by principal and senior level staff, as well as administrative staff support for account management. This task assumes the following:
Assumptions
PEC coordination of project compliance measures for pre-construction activities for September 2021 through January 2022 (5 months)

environmental compliance
General email coordination with City and agencies and general coordination of tasks and schedule
This task includes agency coordination; however, it does not include extensive agency coordination should a state or federally listed species be encountered during pre-construction surveys, such as federal Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation. If a task requested by the agencies exceeds the allotted budget due to size or complexity, a separate scope and budget may be warranted. (ii) Rincon Task 7.2 Pre-construction Surveys (New Task) The following sub-tasks are for required pre-construction surveys based on the Project EIR mitigation measures and agency permit conditions. The scope provided is for pre- construction surveys and documentation to determine if sensitive biological resources are present in the project vicinity and to determine the appropriate avoidance measures to implement during pre-constr uction site preparation and construction activities. Rincon assumes a time frame of September 2021 through January 2022 for these tasks.
(iii) Rincon Task 7.2.1 30-Day Pre-construction Surveys In accordance with CDP condition 5, Rincon qualified biologists will conduct pre- construction wildlife clearance surveys within 30 calendar days prior to approved construction activities to detect any active sensitive species, reproductive behavior, and late nesting activity within 500 feet of the project site.
Rincon will include the findings (including negative findings) of pre-construction wildlife clearance surveys in a report to be submitted to the City and regulatory agencies (as required by pending permits). The report will document observations of wildlife observed during all pre-construction surveys. Based on CDFW requirements for similar projects, if a special status plant or wildlife species is observed, we will prepare a protection plan and California Natural Diversity Database form for that species in addition to this report under a separate scope of work.
Assumptions
We assume a single pre-construction survey effort will be needed to ensure timely completion of the survey prior to tree removal at all three road segments and to plan for any avoidance measures that might be required prior to the initial construction phase.
Two staff will perform the survey.
The survey is planned for eight hours, including travel and mobilization time.

City of Goleta
Amendment No. 6 to Agreement No. 2012-090
We assume no special status species will be detected on the project site and no follow up agency consultation or permitting will be required. If late nesting birds are observed, the Nesting Bird Management Plan will be implemented.
One report will be prepared to summarize the results of the surveys. We assume minimal comment and revision will be needed on the report. Any agency consultation support that may be needed in the event that a state or federally listed is identified would be covered under a separate scope of work. (iv) Rincon Task 7.2.2 Biological Monitoring and Installation of ESHA Fencing In accordance with EIR Mitigation Measure NA-1: Protection and Replacement of Riparian Habitat , CDFW SAA Section 2.13 and 2.21, and CDP Condition 5E, a biological monitor will be present on the project site during vegetation removal to ensure that no sensitive species are present in the area. In addition, a minimization measure of the Tree Protection Plan, prepared as described under Task 3.4 below, will include the requirement that a biological monitor will be present during all tree removal activities.
The biological monitor will be experienced in identifying fauna that may be present in the vegetation that will be removed. Rincon will provide a biological monitor that will be pre-approved by the City to provide oversi ght of tree removal, implementation of tree protection measures, and tree monitoring during construction. The arborist, or a qualified biologist under direct supervision by the arborist, will monitor all work that will occur immediately adjacent to protected trees (i.e., generally any ground disturbing activity within 5-feet from the tree’s dripline), including during tree removal, pruning, trimming, or root cutting that would occur prior to construction activities. Based on our familiarity with the project site, we assume that approximately 200 trees will be removed that would require the biological monitor/arborist to be present (a separate task to conduct a tree inventory update is provided below in Task 3.4).
In accordance with EIR Mitigation Measures NA-1 and WE-1: Avoid Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Areas , as well as CDFW SAA sections 2.7, 2.11, 2.14 and 2.21 relating to environmentally sensitive habitat areas (ESHA), riparian vegetation within portions of the work area within the stream must be fenced and/or flagged to prevent inadvertent impacts during construction activities. Rincon staff will install exclusionary fencing between the project site and adjacent natural areas to prevent wildlife from moving into the construction zone. Exclusion fencing will consist of T-post, or similar material, with orange construction fence, or similar material, bound to it. Exclusion fence will be highly visible and will be approxima tely 4 feet tall. Maintenance of exclusion fending around protected trees and ESHA for the duration of the construction project will be a requirement of the Tree Protection Plan (see Task 3.4below). The

City of Goleta
Amendment No. 6 to Agreement No. 2012-090
biological monitor/arborist will oversee the installation of protection fencing around sensitive resources and will periodically inspec t fencing to ensure it remains in good repair.
Assumptions
Assumes one biologist will be on site during vegetation and/or tree removal activities to monitor for sensitive natural resources and compliance with avoidance measures.
We have assumed a monitor day rate of $1,230, inclusive of travel and equipment direct costs.
We assume tree and vegetation removal activities will require 10 days of monitoring. Any additional monitoring days required beyond 10 will be billed at the $1,230 daily rate.
Workdays will be eight hours, with one additional hour for travel and mobilization. ESHA fencing will be installed prior to any ground disturbance and will be installed by Rincon staff. Materials required for fencing will be reimbursable to the project. If ground conditions are such that fence installation by hand is not possible, the area will be flagged with high-visibility fragging and will not be fenced. (v) Rincon Task 7.2.3 Bat Surveys
In accordance with SAA Section 2.16, avoidance buffers and mitigation measures for protection of roosting bats must be established prior to project implementation and a biologist must conduct monitoring to determine if construction may impact a roosting colony. Rincon will conduct a pre- constructi on survey to determine whether active roosts of pallid bat ( Antrozous pallidus) are present in the project vicinity, specifically within any trees that are located adjacent to the project site.
Within 14 days prior to the commencement of pre-construction activities, a daytime visual and nighttime fly-out acoustic survey for bats will be conducted. The daytime survey will consist of scanning adjacent tree s and artificial structures for suitable roosting sights and searching the ground below for bat guano. Following the daytime survey, a nighttime emergence fly-out survey will be conducted to detect any bats that roosting in tree bark and tree cavities. T he surveys will be conducted by two (2) biologists and will include trees and woodland areas located no more than 100 feet from the project site. To observe and/or record emerging bats, the nighttime emergence survey will occur for approximately 5 hours starting at one-hour prior to darkness.
Acoustic bat detection devices will be used during the nighttime survey to record the inaudible ultrasonic (echolocation) calls of emerging bats, including a Pettersson D240x and a Wildlife Acoustics EchoMeter Touch that uses Kaleidoscope Pro

Analytics. These detection devises allow for a full- spectrum call analysis to be performed that will result in the identification of different specie s and their activities without handling individuals. In addition to the species data collected on site, the abiotic conditions will also be documented, including relative humidity, temperature, wind speed, and moon phase throughout the night.
In accordance with CDFW SAA Section 2.16, if roosting bats are observed, a Rincon biologist will establish an avoidance buffer and biological monitoring will be provided to document minimization measures and lack of impacts to the roosting colony during construction activities. If a bat roosting colony is present and cannot be avoided by project activities, Rincon can provide for an additional fee support in consultation with CDFW to determine the appropriate course of action.
Rincon will prepare a memorandum describi ng the methods and results of the bat survey. The memorandum will be submitted to the City within 5 business days following completion of the surveys.
Assumptions
One daytime presence/absence visual survey and one nighttime fly-out observation survey using electronic bat detection equipment will be conducted. Assumes no bat roosting colony will be detected and no bat exclusion measures will be installed, or agency consultation will be required. Two Rincon qualified biologists will perform the daytime and nighttime surveys. Eight hours is assumed to conduct the daytime and nighttime survey, including travel time.
One memorandum report will be prepared and submitted within 5 business days. (vi) Rincon Task 7.2.4 Monarch Butterfly Surveys
In accordance with Mitigation Measure AN-4: Conduct Monarch Butterfly Surveys and Avoidance, construction impacts to monarch butterflies will be avoided or minimized by performing site-specific surveys for roosting butterflies prior to removal of large eucalyptus trees. This includes along the Ekwill Street extensi on where there are moderate groves of eucalyptus trees that provide ESHA for monarch butterflies.
A qualified Rincon biologist will conduct a pr e-construction survey for roosting monarchs in areas supporting suitable habitat throughout the project site, including a 100-foot buffer area, during the overwintering season (October 1 through March 1). A roost is determined by the presence of clusters of 10 or more monarch butterflies and avoidance measures will be established if roos ts occur within 100 feet of the tree or vegetation removal activity areas. If needed based on time elapsed between the initial survey and the start of work activities, a second butterfly roost survey will be completed
