As you know, I am very familiar with the project vicinity, having _ <br /> conducted rare plant surveys and wetland scoping investigations for the Chad . <br /> Drive Extension project over the last several years. <br /> Project Understanding <br /> The City of Eugene is moving forward with plans to improve North Game Farm <br /> Road, from the recently completed County portion on the north, to the existing <br /> improved section just past the I-5 overpass. Improvements will include a center <br /> turn lane /median and bicycle lanes on each side of the widened pavement. <br /> Sidewalks will be added to the south side of the new roadway, with roadside <br /> ditches on the north side of the road. <br /> You have requested this proposal to assist in the preliminary environmental <br /> evaluation of plant and wetland conditions for federal funding purposes. <br /> The following is my recommendation for the tasks, and my best estimate of the <br /> time and costs, necessary to see this project successfully through the potential <br /> issues. <br /> Task 1.

Coordinate with Lane County and the Cities of Eugene and Springfield <br /> regarding recent environmental investigations in the vicinity; <br /> Task 2. Documentation of Findings.
