EXHIBIT A-SCOPE OF WORK
Riverview Bridge Replacement
Engineering and Permitting Services
October 11,2013
PACKAGE REVISED November 21,2013
(A) SCOPE OF SERVICES:
INTRODUCTION
This scope of work describes engineering, permitting and landscape architecture services associated with
replacement of the Riverview Park Bridge at 2901 Maple Valley Highway in the City of Renton, Washington.
This scope includes design and permitting services for complete replacement of the support structures,
abutments,deck and approaches,utilities,and construction support as further described below.
PND's work will be based on drawings,grant funding and background information provided by City of Renton
Parks Planning and Natural Resources (Client).
Services provided as part of this scope are summarized below and a more detailed description is included in the
task summaries. Permitting services are limited to those described herein.
PND proposes to perform this work on a time and materials basis for a maximum fee of$196,923. The fees
shown are estimates and actual fees and expenses including mark-up will be submitted monthly for invoicing.
SCOPE OF WORK
TASK 1. Preliminary Engineering
PND will start this work effort by obtaining the field information necessary to establish the desired horizontal
alignment and grade and will be supported by the following consultants:
• PND will sub-contract with APS to perform field surveys(See the attached SOW and proposed fee from
APS).
• PND will sub-contract with Pentec-Hart Crowser for the BE, Stream Assessment, and permit support
(See the attached SOW and proposed fee from Pentec-Hart Crowser).
• PND will sub-contract with MacLeod Reckord to assist with landscaping for the project (See the
attached SOW and proposed fee from MacLeod Reckord.)
• PND will contract with a separate company,also known as Applied Professional Services (APS)that will
perform private utility locate services.
PND will then utilize the survey information as the background for the base sheets for the project drawings.
A geotechnical investigation will be conducted hiring a local drill company. A PND geotechnical engineer will
log the boreholes gathering soil information for the design. One(1)borehole will be drilled,logged and assessed
at each abutment location (2 holes total) and summarized in a Geotechnical Report to assist in the selection of

ENGINEERS,INC.
Scope of Work Riverview Bridge Replacement:Engineering&Permitting Services
the foundation design for the new structure. The drilling investigation will be conducted using mud rotary drilling
techniques. Drilling will be conducted to a maximum depth of 75 feet with sampling at 5-foot intervals to 50
feet and 10 foot intervals below 50 feet. Samples will be taken using split spoon sampling procedures to obtain
disturbed samples. If soft soils are encountered Shelby tube samples will be used to obtain relatively undisturbed
samples. Representative samples will be tested for general soil index properties. If soft cohesive soils are
encountered shear strengths will be assessed as part of the field or laboratory testing program. It is anticipated
that a spread footing,a pile footing or perhaps a rock anchor footing could be utilized,depending on the existing
conditions at the site. PND will use APS utility locate service to confirm the location of utilities prior to drilling
and will also contact the statewide utility location service prior to drilling. The drill firm will submit the necessary
state forms prior to drilling. All cuttings will be disposed of in a 55-gallon sealed barrel and transmitted to a legal
upland disposal site. Holes will be sealed with Bentonite Gel and Enviroplug grout or bentonite pellets at the
completion of drilling to ensure cross contamination of underground aquifers does not occur.
PND will develop the Plans to a 30%design level for the replacement truss-system bridge utilizing the surveying
and geotechnical information. This will be sufficient to estimate project budgets,major construction elements
and move forward with permitting documents. Permit documents include the DARPA,SEPA/NEPA,Biological
Assessment,Shorelines and Building permit applications.
The preliminary design Plans will also include the necessary site/civil improvements required to complement the
installation of the new bridge. These include relocation or reattachment of the utilities that are attached to the
current bridge, decommissioning of utilities and their supports if no longer required (excluding the adjacent
electrical pole) and landscaping features to integrate the new construction. The design will also evaluate the
demolition requirements to the bridge;and impacts to shore protection and need for any added shore protection.
TASK 2. Permit and Review Services
PND will-act as the agent for the Client in preparing,submitting and coordinating responses to review comments.
This scope and budget includes preparation of responses and additional information for a single round of
comments/information requests by each agency. Additional studies and/or evaluations beyond those outlined
in this scope are not anticipated or included. Specifically,this task includes the following:
A. Permit Pre-Application Coordination.The location and replacement nature of this project may allow for
exemptions from certain permits. In order to confirm exemption status, PND will coordinate with the
various agencies prior to submittal for any permits.This includes one pre-application meeting with the City
of Renton Community and Economic Development Department.
B. JARPA Package. PND will prepare permit documents and application for submittal of a Joint Aquatic
Resources Project Application QARPA). Permit application and drawings will be based on the information
provided by Client. The permitting effort includes preparation and coordination of application form,
drawings,and support documentation required for intake. This task includes the following:
1. Hydraulic Project Approval (HPA) permit from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife
(WDFW) application will be made with the JARPA application and drawings. Please note that
WDFW will not commence review until issuance of SEPA determination.Pentec-Hart Crowser will
provide assistance in negotiating work windows with regard to presence of federally and state listed
species in the Cedar River.
2. U.S.Army Corps of Engineers Permit(s). Initial conversations with the Corps(Lori Lull,April 2012)
indicate that the bridge site is beyond Section 10 jurisdictional boundaries. A Section 404 permit
may be required depending on the final design location of the abutments and whether any material
will be removed or placed below Ordinary High Water.Therefore,included in this scope is submittal
of the JARPA application to the Corps for Section 404 review. It is anticipated that consultation

Scope of Work Riverview Bridge Replacement:Engineering&Permitting Services
with the federal services with regard to the Endangered Species Act will be required. A Biological
Evaluation(BE) for impacts to listed species and their habitat will be prepared.
3. Biological Evaluation. PND will subcontract with Pentec-Hart Crowser to prepare a BE for Section
7 Endangered Species Act(ESA)consultation as required for federal permitting if it is required.The
BE is also required for the SEPA review by the City as described below.
4. Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Coordination with DNR may be necessary regarding
work within State waters. DNR will be included in the JARPA distribution.
C. City of Renton Permits. PND will prepare permit documents and application for submittal to the City of
Renton for Land Use and Building permits. This effort includes preparation and coordination of application
forms,drawings,and support documentation required for intake. Based on preliminary conversations with
Laureen Nicolee and Jennifer Henning in April 2012,and subsequent conversation with Vanessa Dolbee in
August 2013,the project may be exempt from certain Land Use and Environmental permits.
This task includes the following:
1. State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) checklist will be prepared for submittal to the City of
Renton.Task includes preparation of a complete application package including SEPA checklist and
supporting documentation. The BE prepared under item B.3 above will also be part of the SEPA
review package.
2. Shoreline Permit Exemption request will be submitted to the City of Renton.However,in the event
that a Shoreline Substantial Development permit is deemed necessary by the City, included in this
scope is a complete application package including drawings and supporting documentation.
3. Critical Areas review will be required. The City's review requires preparation and submittal of a
stream study which will be prepared by Pentec-Hart Crowser. It is assumed that the Geotechnical
Report prepared under Task 1 will be sufficient to meet the City's requirement for a steep slope
analysis.
4. Building Permit submittal will be made based on the engineering design.plans per Task 3. This
submittal will include grading and structural plans sufficient for City for review. If necessary,
Grading permit review would be included as part of the Building Permit review.
D. Processing, Coordination and Responding to Comments: PND's team will coordinate with City,State
and Federal staff on all documentation throughout the process. Scope includes responding to one round of
comments from each agency.
TASK 3. Final Engineering Design.
Upon receiving approval of the Preliminary Design and initial feedback from the agencies, PND will continue
with this task of final design. PND,with assistance from MacLeod Reckord, will develop a complete set of
construction drawings (General Notes and Specifications to be included on the Plan Set) accompanied by an
Engineer's construction cost estimate for final approval by the City. Interim updates will be provided at 60%,
90% & 100% design levels to document project progress and conformity with the City's desires. At the
conclusion of this task,a set of Project Calculations and Supporting Soils report will also be provided.

Re: Design Survey for the Riverview Park Bridge Project
SW '/ of Section 16, T23N,R05E,Renton,WA
David:
In response to your request for proposal for the Riverview Park Bridge project,I submit the
following:
Scope-of-Work
A. Based on the Title Report furnished to us by the City of Renton,APS Survey&Mapping
will determine and map the North-Northeasterly boundary line of the Park as it passes
through the areas referenced as the "Project Limits" on the Project Location Map.
B. APS will create a topographic survey of the"Project Limits"lying North-Northeast of the
Cedar River (a irregular area approximately 525 feet long and encompassing ±0.5 acres) and
the Limits lying South-Southwest of the Cedar River (a irregular area approximately 1000
feet long and encompassing ±1.3 acres).The survey and mapping specifications follow:
1. The mapping limits abutting the Cedar River will consist of one observation on the
"edge of vegetation" and a rod shot to the bottom of the Cedar River approximately 1-
foot into the River.
2. The mapping will be based on Washington State Plane Coordinates,North Zone,
expressed in US Survey Feet as derived from NAD83/07 data and NAVD88/07 vertical
datum.
3. The drawing will be at a scale of 1"=50'and will reflex 1-foot contour intervals. Spot
Elevations will be mapped at approximately 50-foot intervals.
4. The survey will outline areas of vegetation such as bushes and trees. Those trees equal
to or larger than 6 inches in diameter at chest height will be observed and mapped
individually;indicating the size and type of tree. Our surveyors are not dendrologists,
but will make an educated guess as to the colloquial name of the trees.
5. APS Survey&Mapping will not be entering into the Cedar River and will not be
conducting a hydrographic survey of the site.
6. APS will locate visible utilities within the Site area. We will not be hirin g a subsurface
utility locate company as part of this survey. We will not be entering into any manholes
or subsurface structures.

7. Though APS will be showing the Parks Property line as it passes through the area,we
will not be setting corners.
8. APS Survey&Mapping will have unrestricted access to the site.
C. The final deliverables will be one set of bond copies of the survey and a disk containing the
AutoDESK dwg file and a Adobe pdf file of the drawing. Prior to beginning the survey,
APS will need to be instructed to do all the mapping in 3D [internally]; otherwise all the
mapping will be in standard AutoDESK 2D format [internally].
Cost Estimate:
Establish Control 8 hours x 2 person crew= $1,216
Uplands Topography=24 hours x 2 people= $3,648
Note reduction and AutoDESK 2011 Mapping =30 hours= $2,640
Project Management and review= 10 hours x a Professional Land Surveyor=$995
Total Lump Sum Cost for Site=$8,499
Schedule
APS will mobilize within 2 working days of Notice-to-Proceed and complete the mapping within
9 workings days
If you have questions or concerns please call me at 425 746 3200.
Sincerely,
APS Survey and Mapping

Re: Scope of Work and Cost Estimate for Biological Evaluation, Stream Assessment, and
Permitting Support— Riverview Park Bridge Replacement Project
14-4-1600-009
Dear Laura:
We are pleased to provide you with our proposed scope of work and cost estimate for preparing a
biological evaluation, stream assessment, and providing permitting support for the construction of
the City of Renton's Riverview Park Bridge Replacement project. The project will be constructed on
the Cedar River, located in Renton, King County, Washington. Since this project crosses a stream
with Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed salmonids and may impact sensitive stream and riparian
habitats, these studies and tasks are necessary to obtain all necessary environmental permits.
SCOPE OF WORK
Costs associated with preparing the proposed biological evaluation, stream assessment, and
permitting support can be broken down into the following tasks.
Task 1 —Biological Evaluation
A Biological Evaluation (BE) will be prepared and submitted to the appropriate agencies in order to
obtain necessary permits and ESA concurrence. The BE will be prepared using the latest US Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE) guidance and templates. The document will provide:
■ A detailed project description narrative and engineering drawings;
■ Determination of an action area that encompasses all potential project-related effects;
■ Information and data on the presence and use of ESA-listed species within the project and
action areas;
■ Description of baseline habitats and existing conditions within the action area;

PND Engineers 14-4-1600-009
October 15, 2013 Page 2
• Effects analyses for all project components and all ESA-listed species;
• An effects determination for all ESA-listed and proposed species by NOAA Fisheries and the US
Fish and Wildlife Service (the Services);
• An analysis of the potential effects to existing and proposed critical habitat designations in the
study area; and
• An evaluation of Essential Fish Habitat, an additional requirement of NOAA Fisheries.
We will respond to two rounds of comments, typically one round from the USACE and another
from the Services.
We will.rely on PND Engineers to provide all engineering drawings; construction methods,
sequencing, and best management practices; and volume and area calculations for construction
materials and staging areas.
It is our understanding that the location and replacement nature of the project may allow for
exemptions from certain permits. If a BE is not required, it is likely that much of the information,
data, and analyses will be necessary for the permitting process. In this case, we will work closely
with PND and the regulatory agencies to tailor required information, data, and analyses to fit the
needs of the regulatory agencies. If a BE is not required, this task will be combined with Task.3
(Permitting Assistance) to provide permitting support to PND, as required.
Estimated Cost for Task 1: $7,500
Task 2— Stream Assessment
Hart Crowser biologists will complete a site visit to observe and characterize the Cedar River and
associated riparian zone including fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, sensitive fish habitats
(spawning and rearing areas), vegetation, wetlands, stream banks, and existing slopes within 300
feet of the project footprint. The ordinary high water mark within the project area will be
determined and flagged. Prior to our site visit, we will review existing reports and studies, ESA/state
priority species/sensitive/high-quality documented species and habitats, aerial photographs,
local/regional management plans, and other relevant and readily accessible information. We will
also identify the specific requirements of a Stream Assessment Report as outlined in the Renton
Municipal Code.
AM
�r
PND Engineers 14-4-1600-009
October 15, 2013 Page 3
Following our site visit, we will prepare a Stream Assessment that meets the requirements of the
Renton Municipal Code.
We anticipate that our stream assessment will cover the following:
• Observed stream and fish habitats, documented and potential fish use, and critical areas and
their classification within the action area;
• Characterization of riparian and wetland habitats associated with the Cedar River in the project
and action areas;
• Qualitative steep slope analysis;
• Regulatory requirements for identified sensitive or critical habitats; and
• Potential impacts of the project to stream, wetland, and associated riparian habitats.
Existing survey or base maps, figures, and project information will also be used to produce a habitat
map of stream and sensitive habitats in the project and action areas using our in-house, computer-
aided design capabilities.
Our document will serve as a Stream Assessment submittal to local and possibly state and federal
regulatory agencies, and for use in providing sensitive habitat information and data for the
permitting process. We will respond to two rounds of comments from each agency to finalize the
document.
The scope of this stream assessment does not include quantitative steep slope or geotechnical
analyses. If such.an assessment is necessary, a separate scope of work will be prepared for this
work.
Estimated Cost for Task 2: $6,500
Task 3—Permitting Assistance
We will provide PND with permitting assistance and will work with the USACE, the Services, and
state and local agencies to identify environmental and regulatory constraints and opportunities for
streamlining the permit process for the project. This will include evaluating the possibility of
exemptions from permit process requirements resulting from maintenance or repair exclusions and
negotiating with regulatory agencies to achieve the most favorable permitting situation for the
A
PND Engineers 14-4-1600-009
October 15, 2013 Page 4
project. We will use the analyses from the BE, stream assessment, and professional judgment to
determine and negotiate with agency personnel appropriate and cost-effective conservation
measures, work windows, and other actions to meet permitting and City of Renton requirements.
It is anticipated that several meetings with agency personnel may be required to obtain the
necessary permits in a timely fashion. For this task, we have budgeted a conservative three
meetings at PND, the site, or the agency of interest, and associated agency correspondence. If
additional meetings or correspondence are necessary, we will request a change order and will not
conduct additional work until authorization is received.
Estimated Cost for Task 3: $3,000
TOTAL ESTIMATED COST AND TERMS
The total estimated cost for the preparation of the proposed work as described will be $17,000.
We will not exceed this cost estimate without your prior agreement and written authorization. The
scope of work outlined above will be billed on a time-and-materials basis. In-house laboratory
services and field equipment rental and supplies will be billed in accordance with our Schedule of
Laboratory and Field Charges (available upon request). Our services will be performed in
accordance with the standard of care of our profession. The attached Terms and Conditions and
any other exhibits or attachments referenced herein, are incorporated into our agreement with you,
