Subtask 4. San Francisco Duskv-footed Woodrat Survev Woodrat houses were not found on the site during preparation of the EIR, but the site contains suitable habitat, and woodrats may have established residence in the interim. MIGrecommends surveying for woodrat houses now, so that a woodrat house removal plan can be executed in late summer/early fall, which is the appropriate time of year to move the houses, even if vegetation on site will not be removed until Spring 2018. While it may be possible to move woodrat houses in March, that plan would rely on unpredictable weather conditions and is not recommended. The reason to survey now is because a woodrat house relocation plan has to be submitted to CDFW for approval prior to house relocation (Task 5, below). MIG will map all woodrat houses within 50 feet of areas to be disturbed by the project using GPS and will identify which houses would be within the construction zone that could not be protected by a buffer. If woodrat houses are found, MIG will implement Task 5, below. A memo documenting the results of the survey will prepared for City review, as appropriate. Subtask S. San Francisco Duskv-footed Woodrat House Buffers and/or Relocation Plan (Contineencv Task If woodrat houses are found, MIG will determine which ones can be protected by a buffer and which ones are required to be moved, and will establish the work zone buffer, in coordination with the construction foreman. For the houses that need to be moved, MIG will consult with CDFW and prepare a relocation plan. The scope of work does not include implementation of the woodrat house relocation plan; MIG can provide a separate scope of work for woodrat house relocation, if necessary. For information purposes, the approximate cost to relocate up to ten (10) woodrat houses is $5,000.00 including materials, labor, reporting, and follow up monitoring. Subtask 6. Field Marking of Invasive Plant Species Locations This task is included in the event that services are needed to identify the invasive plant species that need to be removed in accordance with Measure BIO -6. This task entails walking the site, flagging plants/areas for invasive species removal, and recording the location of those areas on GPS. Subtask 7: Site SDecif c Health and Safetv Plan (HSPI MIG will update its health and safety plan to reflect site-specific measures, and will provide a copy on demand to demonstrate safety compliance. Subtask 8: Proiect Management MIGhave allocated budget for communication and coordination with the project team members, contractual matters, budget review and management, and other administrative matters. Assumptions: 1. Site Access. This scope of work assumes that the client will assure reasonable access to the project site and that the areas of disturbance are delineated so that the biologists can determine how close bird nests or woodrat houses are to areas that will be affected by construction activities. It assumes MIGwill be informed of any persons that its biologist will need to contact in advance of or while visiting the site, ensuring all gates or other access points are unlocked, and that site conditions are safe and secure. 2. Project Information. The scope of work assumes that the client will provide sufficient information about the project to perform the surveys.
