Item Summary:
This Supplemental Contract No. 1 is for the Segment 3 waterline project of the Brushy Creek Regional Treated Water Line System.
During the process of the Preliminary Engineering Report, it was noted that there was a possibility of the Golden-cheeked
Warbler habitat, as well as an identified existing Karst feature where invertebrate habitation could be possible. There are also
three creek crossings other than Brushy Creek, where an additional salamander study is necessary.
The objective of this Supplemental Agreement is to perform additional environmental services that address outstanding issues
and obtain compliance with federal regulations related to potential impacts to waters of the U.S. and endangered species
associated with the preferred routing and alignment of the Segment 3 waterline. The primary elements of the additional services

• Application for participation to the Williamson County Regional Habitat Conservation Plan (WCRHCP) for karst invertebrates
• Golden-cheeked Warbler (GCWA) Presence/Absence (P/A) Survey
• Salamander Survey
• Support for Section 7 Consultation with U.S. Fish & Wildlife (USFW)

Engineering Services
GENERAL
The objective of this Supplemental Agreement is to perform additional environmental services that
address outstanding issues and obtain compliance with federal regulations related to potential impacts to
waters of the U.S. and endangered species associated with the preferred routing and alignment of the
Segment 3 pipeline. The primary elements of the additional services include:
• Application for participation to the Williamson County Regional Habitat Conservation Plan
(WCRHCP) for karst invertebrates
• Golden-cheeked Warbler (GCWA) Presence/Absence (P/A) Survey
• Salamander Survey
• Support for Section 7 Consultation with U.S. Fish & Wildlife (USFW).
Specific services included in this Supplemental Agreement No.1 are described herein.
BASIC SERVICES
A. Additional Environmental Investigation & Permitting
1. Overall Environmental Permitting Coordination. Manage overall scope, schedule, and budget of
additional environmental services. Also, coordinate with Owner and prepare for and attend
necessary coordination meetings with WCRHCP, USACE, and/or USFW to obtain required
permits/approvals.
2. Williamson County Regional Habitat Conservation Plan (WCRHCP). Participation in the
WCRHCP will be utilized to satisfy USFWS mitigation requirements for karst invertebrates.
• Prepare a WCRHCP application and submit to Williamson County
• Coordinate with WCRHCP regarding use of the existing GCWA habitat evaluation.
3. Golden-cheeked Warbler (GCWA) Presence/Absence (P/A) Survey, Conduct a Spring 2012 P/A
survey in accordance with the most recent USFWS protocols and requirements for the proposed
project alignment, if necessary. If the USFWS approves the existing habitat evaluation
completed by Jacobs, a P/A survey may not be warranted.
• Pursuant to WCRHCP guidelines, only one year of survey is required
• Minimum of five site visits with no more than one visit within any 5 -day period to be
conducted prior to May 15, 2012
• Each site survey will consist of at least two hours of survey by two field biologists
• Upon completion of the survey, extrapolate the required data from field records, convert
it to GIS format, and submit to USFWS per the current P/A survey protocol and reporting
requirements
• Upon completion of the survey, a report including all survey results will be provided to
the client.
4. Salamander Survey. The Jollyville Plateau Salamander (JPS) and Georgetown salamander are
currently candidates for protection under the Endangered Species Act, however USFWS may list
the species as endangered as soon as March 2012. In order to document the presence or absence
1
of the species within the project area, a P/A survey for the salamanders will be conducted for the
proposed project corridor. The results of the survey will be utilized during section 7 consultation
to achieve an `effects determination', which will be of particular importance if the species do
become listed in the near term.
• Conduct a survey to evaluate the presence of springs in and within 300 feet of the utility
easement
• This survey will consist of walking tributaries that intersect the alignment to look for
spring flow and vegetation associated with springs
• Simultaneous to the survey of the springs, a census survey for the Jollyville Plateau
salamander, and candidate species for listing, will be perfortned
• Once the spring survey has been completed, a summary report of findings will be
prepared and provided to the client.
5. Section 7 Consultation Between USACE and USFWS. In accordance with section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act (ESA), the USACE must consult with USFWS when any action the
USACE authorizes inay affect a listed endangered or threatened species. The project is planning
to participate in the WCRHCP for potential impacts to endangered karst invertebrates (see item
3.iv); this action implies that the project might affect endangered karst invertebrates, and
therefore triggers the section 7 consultation process between the USACE and the USFWS.
Section 7 consultation will address effects to karst invertebrates, GCWA, and salamanders.
Participation in the WCRHCP will be utilized to satisfy USFWS mitigation requirements for karst
invertebrates.
• Prepare a Biological Assessment for submittal to USACE to be utilized during section 7
consultation with USFWS for effects to endangered species
• Provide a report that addresses any impacts to endangered species as a result of the
project, as well as proposed minimization and avoidance efforts; this report will be the
basis from which the necessary authorizations will be requests from USFWS.
EXCLUSIONS
The following items are not included in the scope of work and will not be performed without written
authorization by the City:
1. Environmental and/or agency permitting fees including, but not limited to, WCHCP, USFW, and/or
USACE. Assume fees will be paid directly by City.
2. Section 10A permit associated with impact to endangered species not currently covered by
WCRHCP.
CLARIFICATIONS & ASSUMPTIONS
The following items are clarifications and assumptions related to the scope of work described herein.
1. Services herein address outstanding issues related to impacts to waters of the U.S. and itnpacts to
endangered species associated with the preferred routing and alignment. Alternative construction
methods or alternative routing would impact the following and would entail their own, different,
permitting and procedural requirements.
