2. Reporting and Coordination Tasks
a. Reporting requirements will be pursuant to the PMP, but will also
include a monthly report of activities and tasks accomplished.
b. The Scope and Cost includes time and costs to allow CNLM staff to
attend meetings (80 hours total), to coordinate activities with the City of
Carlsbad's Preserve Steward, and to provide support to Senior
Planning Staff. Additional funds will be required if additional time
(above the 80 hours) are required for such meetings.
3. Exceptions to Management Tasks
CNLM and City expressly agree that CNLM has no responsibilities for either
trail management or fuel zone management. City, as property owner, retains all
such related responsibilities.
CNLM and City recognize and agree that this description of the Services is
based upon certain costing assumptions that may require changes both to this
Exhibit A and to Exhibit B ("Compensation"). These include the following:
• The costs of implementing the PMP are based on the management and
monitoring assumptions provided in Section 4.2 and the Cost provided in
Exhibit B of this agreement.
• The PMP proposes areas where fencing should be installed to protect the
preserve areas. The City will pay for all fence installation expenses.
CNLM will maintain these fences. Fencing is used to protect properties
and usually allows for less enforcement and patrolling. If the City decides
not to build some of the fences that were proposed in the PMP, CNLM will
have to increase patrolling and enforcement hours and costs.
• The Services does not include the removal or follow up maintenance of
the palm grove within the Calavera Lake/Creek area, which will be
removed by the City as part of project specific mitigation efforts. It is
assumed that there will be 5 years of follow up maintenance performed by
the City as required by most permit-required mitigation.
• The Services does not include tasks associated with trail planning or
construction. It does not include costs to restore undesired trails with
Special Agreement CNLM 08/08
native vegetation, or block these trails with fencing, such as those at
Calavera Lake.
The Services does not include post-fire management and monitoring
tasks. This includes, but is not limited to, new fence installation, major
fence repair or fence replacement, post-fire nonnative plant control,
erosion control, post-fire biological monitoring and other activities
associated with post-fire conditions except as mutually agreed upon and
separately funded by the City.
