2020 - includes funding related to the design, environmental, and project management
services for the Arizona Crossing Removal and Stream Bank Restoration Projects
involving San Juan Creek adjacent the City’s Eastern Open Space property. Pursuant to
the consent decree with Coastkeeper, the City is required to meet certain project
milestones. To implement these milestones and requirements outlined in the consent

have been required for compliance. Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions Inc.

met in the available schedule, the expertise and background of Wood is required.
The cost for the proposed scope of work ($44,940), that includes the continued
development and implementation of a Habitat Mitigation and Monitoring Plan, an
Incidental Take Permit, and California Rapid Assessment Method monitoring and

Budget. Additionally, Wood Environmental is listed on the City’s approved list of qualified
consultants (i.e., the Master Consultant List) for individual projects under $45,000.
