May 7, 2000 <br /> Attn: Brian Genovese <br /> City of Eugene Public Works <br /> 244 East Broadway <br /> Eugene, Or. 97401 <br /> ASSOCIATES Re: Estimate to Conduct Wetland Delineation, Rare Plant Habitat Assessment <br /> and Permitting for 34th Avenue Complex Project C~3N t$ 378'1 <br /> Dear Brian, <br /> Thank you for your request for this proposal for the 34th Avenue Complex project. It <br /> has been our pleasure to work with you on previous projects, and we are glad to continue <br /> to provide the necessary natural resource services to keep this project progressing as <br /> desired. The following is our best estimate of the tasks, time and cost for conducting <br /> wetland determinations, boundary delineations, rare plant habitat assessment and <br /> preparation of needed wetland permit applications for the Study Area described below. <br /> Project Understandings <br /> The City of Eugene is interested in conducting enhancement / daylighting activities for <br /> the SmaIl,Creek near 37th Avenue and Frederick Court as the Creek passes through the <br /> Common Space of that neighborhood (please see attached Study Area Map). The Small <br /> Creek currently flows through a 24" culvert for portions of the Study area, and the City <br /> would like to "daylight"-these portions. The Study Area is comprised of a 40 foot <br /> corridor, centered upon the existing Creek, running from the 36" culvert outfall near 37th <br /> Avenue at the southern terminus, to approximately 20' downstream from the culvert <br /> beneath Frederick Court (approximately 7001inear feet) at the northern terminus. The <br /> Study Area will include the Creek and all land within the corridor, comprising <br /> approximately 0.65 acres in size. <br /> The proposed improvements (to include culvert removal, some channel widening and <br /> planting of native vegetation) will be constructed during Summer 2001. The City <br /> requires the information sooner, however, in order to begin the public involvement <br /> necessary to see the project to successful fruition. <br /> SatreAssoclates, P.C. The area needs to have any wetlands identified and the limits of jurisdiction delineated. <br /> 132 East Broadway Rare Plant Habitat needs to also be assessed, in order to show that proper procedures <br /> Suite 536 have been considered, and followed. You have also requested assistance with necessary <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97401 permits for state and federal agencies, and we have included that service in our estimate. <br /> Phone 541.465.4721 <br /> Fax 541.465.4722 Task 1. Office Research and Coordination <br /> 1.80o:6G2.7094 We will compile and analyze the existing information for the area, includin the site <br /> <br /> www.satrepc.com $ <br /> history, soil survey, air photo libraries (the City of Eugene Air Photo collection should <br /> prove particularly valuable) and recent delineations in the immediate vicinity. This <br /> information will be reviewed in order to focus and set the stage for field work. The <br /> Oregon Natural Heritage Program will be contacted and a search of their database of <br /> protected specie sightings will be conducted for the Study Area and Project Site. <br /> Planners, Landscape Architects and Natural Resource Specialists <br /> <br />
