Common use of Site Reconnaissance Clause in Contracts

Site Reconnaissance. To document the existing conditions of the project area, including the presence of areas with specific regulatory requirements, the CONSULTANT will conduct a pedestrian reconnaissance of the project area. The CONSULTANT will traverse the length of the project area on foot and document any potential areas within environmental constraints, such as watercourses, wetlands, and steep slopes. A handheld GPS will record the position or boundaries of any identified features and will be used in the preparation of project maps. Findings of the efforts will be documented in a short technical memo and provided to the CITY. If WSDOT Local Programs staff request a site visit, the field reconnaissance will be coordinated to correspond with the WSDOT site visit. Assumption(s) • No formal delineation of wetlands or other critical areas is anticipated or included. • This task includes one, four-hour site visit with two environmental CONSULTANT staff. Deliverable(s) • Technical memorandum documenting methods and findings of site reconnaissance (one electronic copy)
