Dear Ms. Rollman:
As per your request, I am forwarding the following scope of work and cost estimate to complete a biological survey report for the Carltas properties (Carlsbad Ranch Business Park). The study area includes 3 parcels totalling 52.42 acres (19.09 ac., 31.98 ac., and 1.35 ac.) and is located between Palomar Airport Road and Paseo del Norte. The preliminary biological review data supplied by you for the study area will be utilized as background information for the biological report.
The biological survey report will map the vegetative habitats and describe the wildlife resources of the site. The report will include a discussion of existing conditions, direct and indirect impacts, and mitigation measures as appropriate. Particular focus will be given to sensitive species and habitats. Of particular importance for the project site will h detailing any impacts to wetlands.
We estimate the cost to prepare the biological survey report to be $2950. Wt normally request 4 to 6 weeks to submit a draft report to the City. Please note that tht
estimated cost has been adjusted downward to account for some overlap with our recentlj
approved contract for Palomar Airport Road widening.
If a wetlands mitigation plan is required due to the extent of filling, a program o
agency coordination, development of a mitigation plan and submittal of permit application! wcdd be neccssxy. This program can vary g-;rea:ly due to the magnitude of the impacts habitat values affected, ease of accomplishing mitigation onsite versus pursuit of offsitt mitigation, and resource agency attitudes toward the project. It is our understanding that i a wetlands mitigation plan is necessary, it would be handled at a later date, under separatc or amended contract when more details of the project are known.
I hope this information satisfactorily replies to your needs on this project.
Sincerely, ,
