0 <br /> Wetland Delineation/Wetland Function and Value <br /> The Bolton&Menk wetland team includes 3 Certified Wetland Delineators that are well versed and <br /> experienced in providing functions and values assessments. To meet your needs,we propose to <br /> thoroughly investigate the available background information needed for a proper wetland delineation <br /> prior to visiting the site. This includes compiling information as follows: <br /> 1. Available Aerial Photographs. <br /> 2. U.S.Geological Survey Topographical maps(Quadrangle Maps). <br /> 3. LiDAR contour mapping(may be available this fall) <br /> 4. National Wetlands Inventory Maps. <br /> 5. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources—Protected Waters Maps. <br /> 6. Ramsey County Soil Survey Maps. <br /> Upon securing this information,we will visit the site and perform soil sampling,plant identification and a <br /> MnRAM functions and values assessment of the Johanna Marsh area. Because the MnRAM functions <br /> and values assessment covers each wetland as a whole,we propose to augment our investigation by <br /> noting specific areas of native plant communities and areas of invasive species and mono-cultural <br /> communities.Our delineators will use a sub-foot GPS unit during our investigation to note the wetland <br /> boundaries and changes in the plant communities. This information will then be downloaded into the <br /> City's preferred CAD format and mapped. <br /> Finally, we will generate a delineation,functions and values report that documents the wetland and plan <br /> community boundaries and recommends areas where the existing wetland could be enhanced to increase <br /> its functions and values as well as where changes can be made to enable storm water management in the <br /> area. Upon City staff review of our draft report,our editing to include recommended revisions,and <br /> approval to submit,we will submit the report to the LGU for general Technical Evaluation Panel(TEP) <br /> acceptance. <br /> Wetlands Services cost: <br /> Hours Fee <br /> GIS staff 4 $ 380.00 <br /> Certified Wetland Delineator 16 $ 1,440.00 <br /> Downloading and Drafting 6 $ 510.00 <br /> Wetland Report 8 $ 720.00 <br /> Lump <br /> GPS location of wetland features Sum $ 500.00 <br /> QA/QC,PE Supervisor 6 $ 840.00 <br /> Meetings with Staff,TEP (Includes only a <br /> Certified Delineator and is limited to 2 <br /> meetings) 10 $ 900.00 <br /> Total Wetland Evaluation and Report 1 1 $5,290.00 <br /> N:\PROPOSALS\SSurvey\Bumsville\2012\Togo\Arden Hills 2013\Airien Hills 2013 PMP.doe <br />
