It begins at the Washington State Ferry Terminal along the southern and eastern upland buffer of the Ship Harbor wetland, and east along the historic railroad on the shoreline of Guemes Channel. Approximately 4,500 feet of the Phase I Build, requires a wetland/critical area survey and permitting to construct the Trail. DESCRIPTION OF TASK ASSIGNMENT The Consultant shall perform the following work: 1. Walk the proposed trail to collect data within a 50 foot corridor that details the biotic and abiotic conditions of the trail corridor. Adjacent shoreline and wetlands, particularly the Ship Harbor wetland, will be included in the site assessment to determine City CAO buffer requirements. We intend to meet with the City's, Rob Hoxie, on the site to discuss the proposed trail alignment. City will supply Consultant with needed base aerial photographs and/or survey data depicting trail stations and alignment. The information provided by City will allow Consultant to sufficiently determine the locations of specific biologically significant features that will be discussed within our existing conditions report.

Consultant shall complete a preliminary report on the proposed conditions. This report is intended to include and address all existing conditions, all proposed conditions, and mitigation strategies. City will review draft and return to Consultant to complete the final report. 6. Consultant shall prepare all final figures and drawings using base drawings from City.
