EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF SERVICES CITY OF SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE MARSHLANDS ONGOING BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT SERVICES The text below identifies a total of four tasks. The first two involve developing a coordinated approach with adjacent Citation Marsh, in order to gain efficiencies and maximum marsh effectiveness. The descriptions for Tasks 1 and 2 are therefore subject to refinement, since they depend on the results of future consultation with LSA. However, we are confident of the overall level of ESA effort estimated for these tasks as provided in the spreadsheet. Tasks 3 ESA would undertake on its own, and are described in considerably more detail.. Task 4 proposes the development of an "operations" manual for the marshlands as a whole and includes a general category of services such as advising on regulatory agency issues, tide gate operations, and help with public outreach and interpretation. A spreadsheet for all tasks is attached. Since we are entering a new phase of our relationship with the City for this project, we have not generated amulti-year program, as we had in the past. We anticipate that we could continue to provide similar services at about the same annual costs over a longer period, if the City so desires. TASK 1: COORDINATE MONITORING WITH LSA E5A will meet with City and LSA staff to review the monitoring program for both areas and determine coordinated actions which will enhance data gathering and operational efficiency. TASK 2: IMPLEMENT NEW MONITORING PROTOCOL We assume that SLSM/Citation Marsh operations will involve a similar level of effort as our previous work in vegetation monitoring, although the techniques and data analysis will change somewhat as the two monitoring approaches are reconciled..
