Sequoia Ecological Consulting,Inc. Page <br /> Final Scope of Work for Environmental Regulatory Compliance& 10 of 14 <br /> J Habitat Mitigation Services for Stream Maintenance Project <br /> October 2022 <br /> to reduce disturbance (which facilitates weed spread/establishment). A crew will visit the site <br /> between 3 times per month in the first 2 years, and while the irrigation system is running,the <br /> crew will perform weed management and irrigation system maintenance tasks. Per the HMMP, <br /> the plantings will not be watered for more than 2 years, though, Hanford and Sequoia may <br /> initiate discussion with the City to minimally irrigate in Maintenance Year 3 as a change order <br /> depending on survivorship and plant health assessed at that time.The crew may also <br /> periodically remove, adjust, or expand browse protection cages to account for native <br /> spread/growth. Hanford assumes that there may be a need to replace a portion of plants if <br /> there is mortality in each maintenance year. Hanford will replace any/all dead plants per year as <br /> they occur. Changes to species palette may need to occur if some species are better suited than <br /> others. Changes will be initiated with Sequoia and proposed to the City for review/approval. <br /> Below is a draft schedule and description of maintenance events and tasks. <br /> Table 2.Anticipated Annual Maintenance Schedule <br /> Year Project Year Description <br /> Spring weed management effort, early summer follow- <br /> 2023 Installation Year up weed management effort,fall preparation effort (if <br /> needed) and plant installation <br /> 2024 Maintenance Year 1 March—October, 3 watering and weeding events per <br /> month <br /> 2025 Maintenance Year 2 March—October, 3 watering and weeding events per <br /> month <br /> 2026 Maintenance Year 3 3 weeding events (spring, late spring, summer) <br /> 2027 Maintenance Year 4 3 weeding events(spring, late spring, summer) <br /> 2028 Maintenance Year 5 3 weeding events(spring, late spring, summer) <br /> 2029 Maintenance Year 6 3 weeding events(spring, late spring, summer) <br /> Hanford requires a 2 week notice to start work/schedule resources and works 7:00 am—3:30 <br /> pm, Monday through Friday.This proposal excludes weekend and holiday work, unless <br /> specifically requested; in those instances, costs would be re-negotiated. Hanford reserves the <br /> right to re-schedule or postpone work at any time due to existing environmental conditions that <br /> create unsafe work environment for crews (Covid-19, air quality index, wildfires, etc.). Hanford <br /> assumes full access to the site to perform work (gates unlocked, property access, etc.).This task <br /> does not include design, surveys, monitoring reports or water pollution control elements (unless <br /> specifically negotiated). <br /> Task 4 Deliverables <br /> ■ Final Planting Palette and Plan (specifying approach to layout). <br /> ■ As-Built Plan (showing actual planting locations). <br />
