Attachment A SCOPE OF SERVICES CITY OF SAN MARCOS PROPOSED SESSOM CREEK WASTEWATER CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS PRELIMINARY DESIGN, DESIGN, BID, AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE 3. Rights of Entry – It is assumed that the City will obtain right -of -entry from private property owners as necessary for KFA to perform the work. KFA will provide sketches and other assistance to the City to obtain right -of -entry. 4. TxDOT Coordination – KFA will coordinate with TxDOT to obtain any permits needed for construction. It has been assumed that the City will assist by facilitating communication with TxDOT if necessary. 5. Environmental and Archaeology – Cox - McLain will provide environmental support for the project, including: a. Water Resources: Delineation of waters of the U.S. and wetlands falling within the jurisdiction of the U.S. Corps of Engineers (does not including preparation of a Pre - construction Notification or Individual Permit to USACE); b. Biological Resources: A wildlife habitat assessment for suitability for endangered species will be conducted by CoxJMcLain. Because the project would be conducted along the San Marcos River (a highly sensitive endangered species habitat), substantial information is available regarding species occurrence and distribution. Thus, any presence /absence surveys requested during coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ( USFWS), if required, would be completed under an additional scope and budget. Informal coordination will be carried out with the USFWS in order to determine regulatory compliance requirements with regard to threatened /endangered species. c. Environmental Technical Memorandum for use in project documentation; d. Cultural resources investigations and permitting; Scope of Work — Archaeological Survey (Budget Contingency Item 1): If the THC determines that a survey is required, CoxJMcLain will coordinate with the City, the THC, and /or other agencies stakeholders as applicable to secure a valid archaeological permit for the project per 13 TAC 26.5, perform approved field investigations, and produce and submit a report per THC requirements. The scale of the field investigation is assumed to be at the Phase I intensive - survey level (Category 2 under 13 TAC 26.20). The study will include a pedestrian survey for previously unidentified archaeological resources as well as a good -faith attempt to revisit any previously documented resources. Field methods will comply with the requirements of 13 TAC 26.20, as elaborated by the THC and the Council of Texas Archaeologists (CTA), with a minimum coverage of 16 shovel tests per mile of 100 -ft- K#FRIESE Page 5 of 10 & Asso _,,A FES � .
