4. Facilitate meetings Cardno will initiate and attend meetings with the LARE staff and City of South Bend at 30% and 60% completion of drawings and facilitate a utility coordination meeting if any utilities are required to be moved in the project plans. In addition, Cardno will facilitate two public meetings. One at the 60% design stage to obtain public input and address concerns by stakeholders and the second to present the final report. Cardno will document meeting dates, attendance, public comments and take minutes to document the public support of the projects. 5. Project progress reporting Cardno will issue monthly electronic progress reports during the duration of the project. Copies of progress reports a will be, at a minimum, submitted to the City of South Bend and LARE project manager, 6. Complete design drawings Cardno will develop plan sheet drawings for each of the three project sites. The drawings will include a title page, existing and proposed plan views, profiles or cross sections, and details as needed to accurately depict the proposed work. Cardno will also include a materials table, custom planting plan, temporary erosion plan, and permanent erosion control plan details. Cardno will submit the plans at 30% completion, 60% completion, and 90% completion for City of South Bend and LARE staff review, prior to completing the final stamped engineering plans. Submittals will include any supporting information obtained during the design process including surveying and soil boring reports, permits, or pertinent correspondence. 7.Determine construction cost estimates and timelines Cardno will include in the final report a probable estimate of cost for each of the three project designs. Cardno will also propose timelines for bidding and project implementation based on fish and wildlife permit restrictions and seasonal weather patterns. 8.Confirm easements and land availability Cardno, in consultation with the City of South Bend will determine any necessary property easements including those for proposed project egress and ingress. Property access for construction and inspections will be identified on the plans and written agreements with the affected landowners included in the final report or provided to the City of South Bend for their records. 9. Complete a flood stage analysis if determined necessary Cardno will complete a HEC RAS model for the projects if required by the IDNR. Initially we believe this may be necessary only for the modification of the gravel bar in the stream; however, we will complete the modeling as required by the agencies for all of the three projects as necessary. 10. Model functionality and/or impact of proposed project with respect to condition of the water body. Cardno will update the Region 5 model from the feasibility study to estimate the amount of nutrients and sediment removed by each of the proposed projects. 11.Conduct a wetland functional assessment or vegetation survey This task was completed during the feasibility stage which found that there are no wetland impacts associated with the project and no threatened or endangered species present at the project sites. Cardno will include native plantings in the project design. f i 1
