Task 5. Coordinate Section 7 Consultation with USFWS and NMFS: HBG had significant correspondence with NOAA Fisheries which agreed to a condition that the City of Redwood City survey the proposed dredging areas for widgeon grass and transplant widgeon grass into these areas after the dredging is completed. HBG is separately seeking approval from the City of Redwood City to conduct this widgeon grass survey prior to the beginning of the dredging. The additional budget that was required to complete this task is reflected in Table 1 ( +$2,973.26). Task 7. Client Coordination: Due to the discovery of high P AH sediment and the resulting work required to obtain the Corps and Regional Board permits outlined in Task 1, additional coordination with the City and City's contractors were required. Coordination to resolve the high P AH sediment issues included conference calls, emails, written correspondence, and meetings. HBG also assisted the City of Redwood City in seeking alternative disposal sites for the sediments that DMMO determined were "unsuitable," including placing the higher-PAH material in the Area H borrow ditch as "foundation material" beneath suitable sediments that would be placed over them. As part of this effort, HBG led the Corps and Regional Board staff on a field trip to the Area H disposal site, and determined that the depth of the existing borrow ditch was insufficiently deep for placing "foundation material." HBG also evaluated use of the higher-P AH sediments within levees on nearby properties, as well as consideration of using the material within a wetland mitigation effort on a previously-permitted project. HBG also assisted the City of Redwood City in revising its bid amendments for the potential dredging contractors. Recently, the City has requested that HBG be present and provide support for the October 22, 2009 public meeting. HBG provided photos, figures and assisted in developing a formal PowerPoint presentation. HBG representative will also attend the meeting as requested by the City. It is anticipated that 20 additional hours of work plus expenses will be necessary to assist the City and attend this public meeting and an additional 30 hours may be needed to coordinate with the City and/or City's sub-contractors and Max Keech prior to or during the dredging activity. The additional budget required for work that was completed and additional work estimated to complete this task is reflected in Table 1 (+$17,250). Phase 2: DisDosal of Dredae Sooils within the Preserve at Redwood Shores Preservation Site Task 5. Client Coordination: The City requested a specific aerial photograph of the Redwood Shores area for a presentation during the contract bidding process. HBG GIS staff worked with City staff to provide the correct photograph in a format and size that was compatible for their use.
