We are pleased to be given an opportunity to <br />be a member of your team and are looking forward to this project. <br />We propose to staff the project with a team that has performed work in the City of Ramsey. I will serve <br />as the overall Project Manager and will be involved in the contract and management. Bruce Galer, a <br />wetland scientist and geologist, will perform the wetland monitoring work for The COR at Ramsey. <br />SCOPE OF WORK <br />The following describes my understanding of the scope of work and the assumptions that I have used to <br />prepare this proposal. <br />Conduct annual monitoring visits to the two wetland mitigation areas and prepare an annual report <br />We will conduct annual monitoring for five years for the two wetland mitigation areas on the COR site. <br />Monitoring will be consistent with monitoring requirements of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) <br />rules at the time of the permitting of the original wetland permit for the site (Ramsey Town Center). <br />Monitoring will consist of three site visits as needed to collect data on spatial extent of wetland and <br />upland plant communities, species composition and percent cover, and hydrologic data and areal coverage <br />of inundation, and color photographs taken from fixed photo reference points. Data will be presented in <br />an annual report that will be completed no later than November 30 of each monitoring year. One of the <br />site visits may be coupled with a meeting with the Technical Evaluation Panel to review the site and <br />discuss issues regarding the vegetation and hydrology of the wetlands. <br />
