or two until conditions are favorable. The contractor is scheduled to do this work in mid- December, as soon as willow cuttings become available from local nurseries, however, if site conditions are not suitable, getting the work done by December 31 may not be possible. By extending the end date of this grant, it gives us the flexibility to accomplish the planting of these 8,000 cuttings. Replanting Work to Meet Contract Requirements at Delta Ponds and Heron Slough. The two older planting contracts that the City has for planting native trees, shrubs, sedges and rushes under this grant required the contractor to achieve 80% plant survival at the end of the plant establishment period. September 2012 survival monitoring by the City revealed that plant survival did not meet the contract specifications and we are requiring the contractor to plant an additional 3,322 plants at Delta Ponds and 1,740 plants at Heron Slough at no cost to the City. While all of the plants for Delta Ponds and 900 of the plants for Heron Slough are cuttings, the remaining 840 plants for Heron Slough are bare root trees and shrubs. The contractor has notified the City that they will not be able to acquire these plants from nurseries until late January. Extending the end date of our grant allows us to accommodate the late availability of plants in order for the contractor to meet their obligations and receive final payments. Water Quality Sampling in the Canoe Canal. The Fish Passage Feasibility Study for the Canoe Canal is on schedule to be completed. However, following discussions with NOAA and ODFW, we have added more extensive water quality sampling to the study. We are uncertain that this st can be accomplished for inclusion in the report before December 31, 2012. Extending the grant end date will provide the flexibility to ensure that we have adequate time to complete this important task and include the information in the final report. 7.Amount of the remaining unobligated funds, noting whether the funds will be expended as originally proposed: If the work described above is not completed in December this work represents $31,533 in funding.
