Therefore, biological monitoring will be performed quarterly. A biological monitoring report will be prepared following each quarterly monitoring site visit and mailed to you, the Army Corps of Engineers (ALOE) and California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG). Each monitoring visit will include qualitative (horticultural) monitoring and a review and assessment of maintenance work. Recommendations that will help promote project success will be included in each report. Quantitative biological data collection will be performed during the fall monitoring visit. The fifth annual report will be submitted in February 2007 as required by the ACOE. Qualitative and quantitative monitoring tasks have been described in detail below. A. Horticultural (Qualitative) Monitoring Horticultural Monitoring: DUDEK will review the health of the container plants and seeding during each site visit. Plant health observations will focus on irri cation needs, soil moisture content, water stress, and the presence of pests and disease. The general development of the target vegetation type and structure will be observed and noted. Weed Control: Weed growth will be monitored to ensure that weeds and invasive species that could interfere with native plant establishment are being adequately controlled. The biologist will note weed and exotic species that need to be removed and make a recommendation on method(s) of removal/control. Erosion Control: DUDEK will note any erosion problems such as rills, gullies or sediment deposition that appear onsite due to rainfall or irrigation. A recommendation to remedy any erosion damage will be made. 4619-01 March 28, 2006 1 0 9 EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF WORK HABITAT RESTORATION SERVICES FOR THE ARROYO TRABUCO CONSERVATION AREA CREATED BY THE LOWER ROSAN OFF-SITE WETLANDS MITIGATION PROJECT March 28, 2006 Pest Control: DUDEK will monitor for insect infestations and herbivore damage (gophers, deer rabbits, etc.) during each monitoring visit. A determination of the relative level of threat to the overall habitat development will be made when insects are detected. DUDEK will inform the City of conditions that could limit or reduce the success of habitat development and make a recommendation for treatment or control. Trash Removal: DUDEK will monitor accumulations of trash onsite, whether deposited by wind, water, or human activity. Areas of trash accumulation will be noted in the monitoring reports for removal by the maintenance contractor. Proi ect Fence and Signage: Perimeter fencing and habitat signage will be reviewed for breakage and vandalism. Any deficiencies will be included in the monitoring reports. B. Quantitative Monitoring Quantitative vegetation assessment will utilize a modified version of the California Native Plant Society's vegetation sampling methodology. The methodology involves 50 meter long point -transects centered on a 50 in x 5 in plot. At each 0.5 in interval along the transect (beginning at 50 cm and ending at 50 m), a point is projected vertically into the vegetation. Each species intercepted by this point is recorded, providing a tally of hits for each species in the herb, shrub, and tree canopy layers. A list of additional species occurring within 50 in x 5 in (250m) species richness belt will be recorded. A minimum or eight transects will be analyzed and sampled each fall or spring quarter based on target habitat type. A standard vegetation monitoring worksheet will be used by DUDEK to record quantitative data in the field. Each data sheet will be summarized in table format and included in the annual report. Photos from designated photo points will be taken to record the progress of the restoration effort. The following vegetation characteristics will be derived from field -collected data and included in the annual report: Percent Cover: Transect data will be analyzed and the total cover of native vegetation, weeds/exotic plants, and bare ground will be quantified and included in transect data tables. 4619-01 March 28, 2006 • EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF WORK HABITAT RESTORATION SERVICES FOR THE ARROYO TRABUCO CONSERVATION AREA CREATED BY THE LOWER ROSAN OFF-SITE WETLANDS MITIGATION PROJECT March 28, 2006 Species Composition: A tally of each species occurring within each transect will be used to determine the percent occurrence. Survivorship: Individual container plants that have died within wetland revegetation areas will be counted and reported during summer monitoring. DUDEK will include recommendations on species replacement, timing and container size in the annual report. The ACOE requires 80% survival the first year and 100% survival thereafter. Tree and Shrub Height: Container planted tree species along the five meter wide transect belt will be measured and averaged. Average tree and shrub heights will be summarized in tabular format and included in the annual report. C. Reporting Quarterly monitoring reports will prepared following each monitoring visit. The annual monitoring report will be prepared and submitted in February 2007. Quantitative biological monitoring data which includes summarized biological data in tabular format will be included in the annual report. The annual report will include all required data as outlined in the Conceptual Wetland Mitigation and Revegetation Plan and resource agency permits. Draft annual reports will be submitted to the City for review and comment. Following the review, DUDEK will finalize and submit final annual reports to you and the resource agencies. Deliverables: • Quarterly Biological Monitoring Reports will be submitted following each quarterly monitoring site visit. Finalized annual report with color photographs will be submitted in February 2006, (five copies; two submitted to the City, one to the Army Corps of Engineers, one to the California Department of Fish and Game, and one for our files). 4619-01 March 28, 2006 3 0 EXHIBIT B COST ESTIMATE n �J HABITAT RESTORATION SERVICES FOR THE ARROYO TRABUCO CONSERVATION AREA CREATED BY THE LOWER ROSAN OFF-SITE WETLANDS MITIGATION PROJECT March 28, 2005 All work will be billed monthly, on a time and materials not to exceed basis in the amount of $9,300.00, in accordance with the DUDEK 2006 Standard Schedule of Charges, and as defined in the contract.
