THIS AGREEMENT, dated for reference purposes only as April 14, 2026, is by and between the
City of Renton (the “City”), a Washington municipal corporation, and Facet NW, Inc.

is effective as of the last date signed by both parties.
1. Scope of Work: Consultant agrees to provide design, community engagement,
permitting, construction documentation, and bidding services for the Cedar River Natural
Area Mountain Bike and Multi-use Trail project as specified in Exhibit A, which is attached
and incorporated herein and may hereinafter be referred to as the “Work.”
2. Changes in Scope of Work: The City, without invalidating this Agreement, may order
changes to the Work consisting of additions, deletions or modifications. Any such changes
to the Work shall be ordered by the City in writing and the Compensation shall be
equitably adjusted consistent with the rates set forth in Exhibit A or as otherwise mutually
agreed by the Parties.
3. Time of Performance: Consultant shall commence performance of the Agreement upon
full execution of the Agreement. All Work shall be performed by no later than May 31,
2028.
4. Compensation:
A. Amount. Total compensation to Consultant for Work provided pursuant to this
Agreement shall not exceed $376,696.00, plus any applicable state and local sales
taxes. Compensation shall be paid based upon Work actually performed according to
the rate(s) or amounts specified in Exhibit A. The Consultant agrees that any hourly or
flat rate charged by it for its Work shall remain locked at the negotiated rate(s) unless
otherwise agreed to in writing or provided in Exhibit A. Except as specifically provided
herein, the Consultant shall be solely responsible for payment of any taxes imposed
as a result of the performance and payment of this Agreement.
B. Method of Payment. On a monthly or no less than quarterly basis during any quarter
in which Work is performed, the Consultant shall submit a voucher or invoice in a form
specified by the City, including a description of what Work has been performed, the
PAGE 2 OF 11
name of the personnel performing such Work, and any hourly labor charge rate for
such personnel. The Consultant shall also submit a final bill upon completion of all
Work. Payment shall be made by the City for Work performed within thirty (30)
calendar days after receipt and approval by the appropriate City representative of the
voucher or invoice. If the Consultant’s performance does not meet the requirements
of this Agreement, the Consultant will correct or modify its performance to comply
with the Agreement. The City may withhold payment for work that does not meet the
requirements of this Agreement.
C. Effect of Payment. Payment for any part of the Work shall not constitute a waiver by
the City of any remedies it may have against the Consultant for failure of the
Consultant to perform the Work or for any breach of this Agreement by the
Consultant.
D. Non-Appropriation of Funds. If sufficient funds are not appropriated or allocated for
payment under this Agreement for any future fiscal period, the City shall not be
obligated to make payments for Work or amounts incurred after the end of the
current fiscal period, and this Agreement will terminate upon the completion of all
remaining Work for which funds are allocated. No penalty or expense shall accrue to
the City in the event this provision applies.
5. Termination:

pursuant to this Agreement shall be submitted to the City, if any are required as part
of the Work.
B. In the event this Agreement is terminated by the City, the Consultant shall be entitled
to payment for all hours worked to the effective date of termination, less all payments
previously made. If the Agreement is terminated by the City after partial performance
of Work for which the agreed compensation is a fixed fee, the City shall pay the
Consultant an equitable share of the fixed fee. This provision shall not prevent the
City from seeking any legal remedies it may have for the violation or nonperformance
of any of the provisions of this Agreement and such charges due to the City shall be
deducted from the final payment due the Consultant. No payment shall be made by
the City for any expenses incurred or work done following the effective date of
termination unless authorized in advance in writing by the City.

RCW 18.43.070. Consultant further represents and warrants that all final work product
created for and delivered to the City pursuant to this Agreement shall be the original work
of the Consultant and free from any intellectual property encumbrance which would
restrict the City from using the work product. Consultant grants to the City a non-
exclusive, perpetual right and license to use, reproduce, distribute, adapt, modify, and
display all final work product produced pursuant to this Agreement. The City’s or other’s
adaptation, modification or use of the final work products other than for the purposes of
this Agreement shall be without liability to the Consultant. The provisions of this section
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

of all records in its possession or control relating to this Agreement and the Work,
including, but not limited to, e-mail, correspondence, notes, saved telephone messages,
recordings, photos, or drawings and provide them to the City for production. In the event
Consultant believes said records need to be protected from disclosure, it may, at
Consultant’s own expense, seek judicial protection. Consultant shall indemnify, defend,
and hold harmless the City for all costs, including attorneys’ fees, attendant to any claim
or litigation related to a Public Records Act request for which Consultant has responsive
records and for which Consultant has withheld records or information contained therein,

details, manner or means of Work. Specifically, but not by means of limitation, the

the City, elected officials, employees, officers, representatives, and volunteers from any
and all claims, demands, actions, suits, causes of action, arbitrations, mediations,
proceedings, judgments, awards, injuries, damages, liabilities, taxes, losses, fines, fees,
penalties, expenses, attorney’s or attorneys’ fees, costs, and/or litigation expenses to or
by any and all persons or entities, arising from, resulting from, or related to the negligent
acts, errors or omissions of the Consultant in its performance of this Agreement or a
breach of this Agreement by Consultant, except for that portion of the claims caused by
the City’s sole negligence.
Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that this agreement is subject to RCW
4.24.115, (Validity of agreement to indemnify against liability for negligence relative to
construction, alteration, improvement, etc., of structure or improvement attached to real
estate…) then, in the event of liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons
or damages to property caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of the

survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
11. Gifts and Conflicts: The City’s Code of Ethics and Washington State law prohibit City
employees from soliciting, accepting, or receiving any gift, gratuity or favor from any
person, firm or corporation involved in a contract or transaction. To ensure compliance

Phase 2 Scoping Document
Phase 2: Project Description
Facet (“Contractor”) will assist the City of Renton (“City”) in providing project Conceptual Design,
Community Engagement, Design Development, Construction Documentation, Permitting Services and
Bid Support Services. The City’s role in this contract is limited to contract management, design reviews,
and meeting attendance.
Project Description:
The project envisions a multi-zone trail and skills development park that integrates mountain biking,
pedestrian access, ecological restoration, and improved site connectivity. The concept organizes the
site into four primary zones:
•A Beginner Flow Zone with introductory bike trails, walking paths, and a small skills area
designed for novice riders and low-intensity users.
•A Skills Development Zone featuring purpose-built elements (e.g., platforms, ramps, berms,
and rollers) arranged by difficulty level, with integrated pedestrian circulation.
•A Progressive Trail Zone utilizing the site’s elevation changes to provide a full spectrum of
trail experiences, from beginner routes to expert-level descending and jump lines.
•Connector Trails linking surrounding neighborhoods to the regional trail system and
improving overall access to and through the park.
In addition to the trail zones, an area with temporary support amenities will be developed. See
Attachment A for a corresponding Concept Map.
Supporting elements include maintenance and emergency vehicle access, targeted ecological
restoration across approximately 2–3 acres, and temporary amenities such as enclosed portable
restroom facilities and parking expansion.
Overall, the project aims to create a connected, skill-progressive, and environmentally responsible trail
system that enhances recreational opportunities while supporting long-term site stewardship. Project
specifics will be further defined as a part of Task 4 once a formal plan concept is developed.
Tasks included in this scope of work include:
Task 1 – Project Management
Task 2 – City Coordination
Task 3 – Data Collection and Field Verification

and other Facet personnel as needed.
TASK 3 – DATA COLLECTION & FIELD VERIFICATION
Task 3.1 – Critical Area Delineations
Facet will send two ecologists on-site to delineate and document wetland and/or stream critical areas,
including completion of rating forms, data sheets, field sketches, and preparation of a wetland and
stream delineation report.
Assumptions:
Assumes delineation of up to 12 streams, 21 wetlands, and Cedar River south OHWM.
Deliverables:
Critical Area documention (Wetland and Stream Delineation Report).
Task 3.2 – Arborist Services
Two ISA certified Arborists® from Facet will inventory all significant trees within the proposed
maintenance path alignment that will likely be constructed in Area 3. According to Renton Municipal
Code (RMC) 4-11-200, significant trees are defined as any tree with a caliper of at least six inches (6"),
except alder or cottonwood trees, which qualify as significant trees with a caliper of eight inches (8") or
greater. Dead trees shall not be considered significant trees. Significant trees with driplines
overhanging the proposed alignment will also be included.
During field work, trees will be tagged with a 1-1/4” aluminum tag with a unique identification number.
All significant trees will be visually assessed consistent with Level 1 ISA standards. The following
attributes will be collected: tree species, diameter at breast height (DBH), canopy radius (i.e., dripline),
height, and condition.
We will prepare an Arborist Report suitable for submission to the City of Renton. The report will
summarize the findings of the tree inventory, calculate tree retention requirements, and describe
applicable development standards related to tree retention and replacement, per RMC 4-4-130. A table
of inventoried trees and associated attributes will be included in the Arborist Report. We will also
prepare a field map that indicates the approximate locations of inventoried significant trees. This map
may be used by surveyors.
Assumptions:
Assumes a maximum of 500 trees inventoried within two field days.
Assumes the area is reasonably accessible. If extensive removal of Himalayan blackberry is
required by staff to achieve access, fees for this task may be increased up to 20 percent.

maintenance path
No underground Utility Locating will be needed as part of this scope.
Boundary of the project property will exclusively come from GIS LiDAR.
TASK 4 – CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The Facet and EMBA team will revisit the site to ground truth early concept designs. The team will verify
amenity locations, potential trail alignments, and landscape restoration and will consider
constructability and design approach at locations where more impacts are likely to occur. The EMBA
team will also ground truth potential locations for skills structures, signage, and other features. Field
notes will be incorporated into design development and community outreach focus topics.
Facet and its subconsultants will develop two (2) Conceptual Trail Plans for the park, along with
supporting event materials to facilitate community outreach. Using these concepts, Facet will
participate in one (1) in-person design workshop or meeting to assist the City in gathering community
feedback and input to inform selection of a preferred alternative to advance to the 60% design phase.
Facet’s primary role will be to support the outreach effort by coordinating with sub consultants, visiting
the site to ground truth concepts and gain further understanding of the site, preparing event materials,
attending the meeting, and engaging with participants. We will also be available to review and provide

This easygoing zone would offer
mellow terrain perfect for beginner
bicyclers or walkers. Riders can
master smaller descents, sharpen
their turns, and pick up new tricks
before tackling the larger, more
advanced trails in Zone 3. Expect playful features like flowy trails,
rollers, berms, jumps, and dual
slalom fun. Walkers can immerse into the hillside forest.
A fun and dynamic zone filled with features and adventures where
riders can learn new skills and build
confidence that carries across the whole park! Designed with progression
and education in mind, this area
encourages learning in a safe, exciting,
and challenge-filled space. Walking
trails will also weave through the area
with signage designating safe access
for non-bicycle riders.
Many parts of the park offer great
opportunities for restoration and
habitat improvement. Some areas
have limited biodiversity, while others are overrun with invasive
plants or debris. By restoring
these spaces, we can strengthen the health of the forest, streams,
and rivers—and create a cleaner,
more vibrant environment for everyone to enjoy!
