EXHIBIT "A"
Scope of Work and Fee Schedule
for
Consulting Services to Provide
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT (EA), PERMITTING, AND DESIGN SERVICES
at the
MCCALL MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
February 2009
As part of initial field investigations, it was deteuuined the McCa11 Municipal Airport is a
potential habitat for the federally listed species of Northern Idaho Ground Squirrel (NIDGS).
The Idaho Depaitiuent of Fish and Game, along with the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service, have required a field survey be conducted to deteiniine the specie's presence. Survey
protocols for the NIDGS have been created by the agencies, which require a qualified biologist
perform the work.
This listing was not anticipated and therefore was not a part of the original scope of services
developed. The following services and fees are considered "extra services".
WHPacific contacted the agencies to obtain a list of qualified biologists and was referred to Dr.
Yensen of the College of Idaho. He has prepared a scope of work to confoini to the agencies'
survey protocols, which are:
• Surveys shall be conducted by individuals with knowledge of the life history and ecology
of the species
• Surveys shall be conducted at the time of year when the species is active and there is the
greatest opportunity for positive identification. In some instances, a survey may
incorporate a live -trapping component because the species may be present in very low
densities over a large area. (Captured individuals should have hair clipped from the dorsal
portion of the rump and saved as a voucher specimen for future verification.)
• Surveys conducted before the species emergence in spring or after all aboveground
activities have ceased in late summer may not be considered sufficient. The exception
here would be where the individual conducting the survey has a demonstrated proficiency
in burrow identification and other NIDGS sign identification.
• Surveys shall be conducted by walking or otherwise closely scrutinizing potential habitat
looking for diagnostic sign such as burrows, scat, tracks, feeding residue, and other sign.
• Known populations range in size from 1-100 squirrels. Because of their low densities,
squirrels may not be seen during a ❑ quick one-time only survey. Therefore, several visits
may be necessary.
• Any new sites shall be mapped and immediately reported to the IDFG NIDGS
Coordinator and USFWS (SRFWO)
