Dear Commissioner Trask,
We have just received notification from the US. Army Corps regarding our permit we
use to farm your property. You will receive a copy of the same letter in the next few
days.
The Corps has issued a stop work order prohibiting us from doing any bed preparation,
seeding, or harvest on your farm and a dozen other leases we farm until this matter is
resolved. Routine maintenance activities are still allowed.
The Corps has cited us for using tube/cups as a predator control device. These are
devices that were made from plastic drinking cups that we put out that we thought were
not only better for the environment but which we also believed were a permitted use
under the Nationwide Permit. They weighed less than 10% of our PVC tubes, were
more stable in the beach, and not as prone to getting loose. We are in the process of
removing and or replacing all tube/cups on all beaches now.
We do not anticipate that this will be a major problem and that the issue will be resolved
in short order.
Please don't hesitate to call if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jim Gibbons DEC 02 2019

pollution conditions and marine water quality data, which indicates that significant
improvements have been made in sanitary conditions within the Hood Canal 6 (Big Bend Creek)
watershed.
The area being reclassified is identified by boundary lines in Map 5 of the enclosed Sanitary
Survey report and Exhibit A of the Administrative Order.
If you have any questions, please contact Jean Frost at(360) 236-3349.

Summary _
This Addendum changes the classification of approximately 10 acres of commercial shellfish harvest
area within Hood Canal 6 near Big Bend Creek and Alderbrook Resort from Conditionally Approved to
Approved and removes the rainfall condition on 7 acres of the Conditionally Approved harvest area
that overlaps with the seasonal closure area near Alderbrook Resort. It also removes closures on
parcels 32232-50-81005, 32232-50-81004, 32232-50-81001, 32232-50-10902, 32232-50-10903, 32232-
50-11001, 32232-50-11002, and 32233-88-88888 near Big Bend Creek and Calm Cove.
The Washington State Department of Health (Department) examined the most recent water quality
data from the Conditionally Approved portion of Hood Canal 6 and found that Marine Station 292
meets National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP) numeric criteria for an Approved classification.
Department staff followed conditional area upgrade protocols and determined that a classification
change from Conditionally Approved (closed for five days whenever >_ 0.75 inch of rain in 24 hours is
recorded at the Taylor Shellfish FLUPSY) to Approved is appropriate. The classification change and
parcel re-openings are based on Mason County Public Health's (MCPH) parcel evaluations, repaired on-
site septic (OSS) systems, and improved marine water quality at Station 292. The Conditionally
Approved area with a seasonal closure (May—September) due to boating activities will remain.
Description of Growing Area
The Hood Canal 6 Growing Area is in Mason County near the great bend in Hood Canal. Most of the
shoreline along the south shores of the Hood Canal 6 area is a mix of vacation homes and permanent
residences. The growing area near Alderbrook Resort has two Conditionally Approved areas that
overlap each other; a Conditionally Approved area based on rainfall criteria and a Conditionally
Approved area based on seasonal use of the Alderbrook Resort Marina. The Conditionally Approved
portion affected by rainfall is influenced by Big Bend Creek, which drains through a rural residential
area. Map 1, page 3 shows the southern portion of the Hood Canal 6 Growing Area including marine
sampling stations and classification boundaries. Maps 2-3, page 4 display the overlapping
Conditionally Approved areas.
Pollution Source Survey
The 2015 Hood Canal 6 Shoreline Survey found elevated fecal coliform (FC) levels at Shoreline sites 99
and 106 resulting in parcel closures near both drainages as shown in Map 4, page 5. There were three
parcels closed at Site 99: parcels 32232-50-81005, 32232-50-81004, and 32232-50-81001. There were
five parcels closed at Site 106: parcels 32232-50-10902, 32232-50-10903, 32232-50-11001, 32232-50-
11002, and 32233-88-88888.
The Big Bend Shellfish Protection District was formed in 2016 in response to Station 292, near the
mouth of Big Bend Creek, exceeding NSSP standards for FC. Since the SPD's formation, MCPH
evaluated 18 parcels in the area of Big Bend Creek to identify sources of fecal contamination flowing to
the shellfish beds in Hood Canal. They identified one failure and five OSS in need of repair. All of the
deficient OSS have been repaired or are in the process of being repaired and are currently not
impacting nearby surface water drainages or the growing area.

Map 4. Parcel closures and shoreline sampling sites in Hood Canal 6 near Big Bend Creek and Calm
Cove.
Near Shoreline Site 99 (MCPH site 1-042), one failing OSS was identified through dye testing. A repair
was made in the summer of 2018, but post corrective dye testing revealed the repair did not correct
the failure of the OSS. The homeowner capped the drainfield to ensure it was not affecting water
quality influencing the shellfish beds at the shoreline. The homeowner obtained a permit to install a
new drainfield in the summer of 2019. The Department should follow up with MCPH when the new
drainfield is installed to assess the parcel as a source of pollution. Table 1, page 6 includes sampling
results from Shoreline Site 99/1-042 during 2014-2019.
Near shoreline site 106 (MCPH Site 1-055), five OSS in need of repair were identified through
operations and maintenance (O & M) and pumping reports. All of the homeowners where OSS
deficiencies were discovered have corrected the problems. Table 2, page 7 shows sampling results
from Shoreline Site 106/1-055 during 2014-2019.
MCPH's evaluation determined Blue Heron Condominium's Large On-site Sewage System (LOSS) was
not impacting Big Bend Creek. However, the transport line is a mile long and passes a few feet over the
creek, which makes it susceptible to damage during storm events. The Department's LOSS Program
requires the Blue Heron Condo's maintenance team to inspect the transport line monthly. The
5
property owner plans to install a new drainfield by January 1, 2021. The Department should follow up
with MCPH when the new drainfield is installed to assess the system as a source of pollution.

Water Quality Studies
A comparison of the last 30 sample data summary of Station 292 shows that rainfall no longer has a
significant impact on the station and warrants an evaluation of the Conditionally Approved portion of
the growing area by the Department (Table 3, page 8). Figure 1, page 8 shows Marine Station 292 has
met NSSP water quality standards since 2016. Individual, regulatory sample results for Station 292 are
presented in Table 7, page 11.
The Department's standard protocol for upgrading a Conditionally Approved growing area to Approved
requires that at least six qualifying rain event samples be included in the most recent 30-sample
dataset (20 percent of samples) at all stations in the area. Geometric means and estimated 901h
percentiles cannot exceed NSSP standards with these samples included. A qualifying rain sampling
event for Hood Canal 6 occurs when at least 0.75 inch of rain falls within a 24-hour period and marine
samples are collected within three days of the rain event. Only qualifying rain sampling events were
used to evaluate marine water quality during rain events in the Conditionally Approved area.
Because only three such qualifying samples were included in the recent 30-sample dataset (12/8/16-
8/7/19), three additional older regulatory qualifying rain event samples, taken on 3/15/2016,
10/18/2016, and 11/7/2016 replaced the oldest three samples (12/08/2016, 01/12/2017 and
03/21/2017) in the 30 sample dataset. Twenty-four-hour rainfall totals and FC results for the six rain
sampling events included in the evaluation are shown on Table 6, page 9. All of the qualifying sampling
7
events meet NSSP criteria except the sampling event on 12/13/2019, when 4.82 inches of rain fell.in
the preceding three days of the sampling event. Prolonged rain events such as this are rare and
random at the Taylor FLUPSY rain gauge. With the regulatory and older regulatory samples included in
the most recent 30-sample datasets, Station 292 meets NSSP numeric criteria (Table 5, page 9).
In addition to the marine water quality criteria, effective water quality improvement projects are
required to be completed or underway at the time of the Department's evaluation. Also, water quality
trends at stations eligible for an upgrade need to show that fecal coliform levels are stable or
improving, ensuring a downgrade in the future is not likely to occur. As previously discussed, these
conditions have been met.

Conclusion
Based on improved marine water quality at Station 292 and effective water quality improvement
projects implemented by Mason County in the watershed, 10 acres of the Conditionally Approved
Portion of Hood Canal 6 are reclassified as Approved and the rainfall condition in 7 acres of the
overlapping Conditionally Approved area is removed. Parcel closures on 32232-50-81005, 32232-50-
81004, 32232-50-81001, 32232-50-10902, 32232-50-10903, 32232-50-11001, 32232-50-11002, and
32233-88-88888 near shoreline sites 99 and 106 are also removed. Map 5, page 10 shows the
reclassified area, including GPS coordinates. Map 4, page 5 shows the parcel closures that are
removed.
Recommendations
The Department should:
• Follow up with MCPH to assess the OSS repairs near Shoreline Site 99.
• Follow up with Department's LOSS program and MCPH in 2021 to assess changes to Blue Heron
Condominiums LOSS and potential impact to the growing area.

ITEM: Approval to enter into a Professional Services Lump Sum Consultant Agreement with
Puget Environmental, PLLC. for the mitigation of the soil exposure for the selected properties
using their Cleanup Proposal and Cost Estimate developed for the eight (8) properties whose
soil was affected by the Trails End Lake chip sealing incident.
Background: On July 2, 2019 Public Works Road crew was performing a chip sealing
project on E Trails End Drive in Mason County, Washington. An unanticipated rainfall event
occurred, and at that time the asphalt emulsion hadn't broke yet. The rain caused the
asphalt emulsion to bleed onto the right-of-way and private properties. Road crews worked
through the night to control the bleed and mitigate as much of the damage as possible.
Department of Ecology was contacted by Mason County and by some of the effected
residents, and have been involved in communicating how to remediate the damage. Mason
County hired Puget Environmental, PLLC to evaluate the extent of impact on affected
properties and they developed an appropriate cleanup plan. Puget Environmental, LLC.
prepared site-specific cleanup plans for each selected property, and provided a Cleanup
Proposal and Cost Estimate for the most impacted properties.
RECOMMENDED OR REQUESTED ACTION: Approval to enter into a Professional
Services Lump Sum Consultant Agreement with Puget Environmental, PLLC. for the
mitigation of the soil exposure for the selected properties using their Cleanup Proposal and
Cost Estimate developed for the eight (8) properties whose soil was affected by the Trails
End Lake chip sealing incident.

of such Final Payment by the CONSULTANT shall constitute a release of all claims for payment,which the
CONSULTANT may have against the AGENCY unless such claims are specifically reserved in writing and
transmitted to the AGENCY by the CONSULTANT prior to its acceptance. Said Final Payment shall not,
however, be a bar to any claims that the AGENCY may have against the CONSULTANT or to any remedies

overpayment. Per the WSDOT's"Audit Guide for Consultants,"Chapter 23 "Resolution Procedures,"the
CONSULTANT has twenty(20)working days after receipt of the final Post Audit to begin the appeal process

The right is reserved by the AGENCY to terminate this AGREEMENT at any time with or without cause upon ten

In the event this AGREEMENT is terminated by the AGENCY, other than for default on the part of the
CONSULTANT, a final payment shall be made to the CONSULTANT which,when added to any payments
previously made, shall total the same percentage of the Lump Sum Amount as the work completed at the time of
termination is to the total work required for the SERVICES. In addition,the CONSULTANT shall be paid for any
authorized extra work completed.
No payment shall be made for any SERVICES completed after ten(10)days following receipt by the
CONSULTANT of the notice to terminate. If the accumulated payment made to the CONSULTANT prior to Notice
of Termination exceeds the total amount that would be due when computed as set forth in paragraph two(2)of this
section,then no final payment shall be due and the CONSULTANT shall immediately reimburse the AGENCY for
any excess paid.
If the services of the CONSULTANT are terminated by the AGENCY for default on the part of the CONSULTANT,
the above formula for payment shall not apply.
In the event of a termination for default,the amount to be paid to the CONSULTANT shall be determined by the
AGENCY with consideration given to the actual costs incurred by the CONSULTANT in performing SERVICES
to the date of termination,the amount of SERVICES originally required which was satisfactorily completed to
date of termination,whether that SERVICE is in a form or a type which is usable to the AGENCY at the time of
termination,the cost to the AGENCY of employing another firm to complete the SERVICES required and the
time which may be required to do so, and other factors which affect the value to the AGENCY of the SERVICES
performed at the time of termination. Under no circumstances shall payment made under this subsection exceed the
amount,which would have been made using the formula set forth in paragraph two(2)of this section.
If it is determined for any reason that the CONSULTANT was not in default or that the CONSULTANT's failure to
perform is without the CONSULTANT's or its employee's fault or negligence,the termination shall be deemed to
be a termination for the convenience of the AGENCY. In such an event,the CONSULTANT would be reimbursed
for actual costs in accordance with the termination for other than default clauses listed previously.

of this AGREEMENT. If termination for convenience occurs, final payment will be made to the CONSULTANT
as set forth in the second and third paragraphs of this section.
Payment for any part of the SERVICES by the AGENCY shall not constitute a waiver by the AGENCY of
any remedies of any type it may have against the CONSULTANT for any breach of this AGREEMENT by the
CONSULTANT, or for failure of the CONSULTANT to perform SERVICES required of it by the AGENCY.
Forbearance of any rights under the AGREEMENT will not constitute waiver of entitlement to exercise those rights

Subject: Site Evaluation and Cleanup Plan Report
Trails End Lake Community
Mason County, Washington
Dear Ms. Wilston:
In accordance with your request, Puget Environmental, PLLC (Puget) has prepared this
report presenting results of site evaluation and cleanup plan development activities at
various properties in the Trails End Lake Community. Work was conducted in
accordance with the Proposal for Site Evaluation and Cleanup Plan Development,
prepared by Puget, dated October 2, 2019.
BACKGROUND
In July 2019 an incident reportedly occurred in the Trails End Lake Community during a
road chip-sealing project. During the project an unanticipated rainfall event reportedly
caused a portion of the asphalt road sealant material to flow onto adjacent residential
properties. Initial reports indicate approximately 25 properties may have been affected.
INVESTIGATION ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS
Records Review and Site Inspection Scheduling
On October 9, 2019, Puget personnel traveled to the Mason County administrative
facilities in Shelton, Washington to conduct a detailed records review of available
information for the affected properties including diagrams, photographs, discussion
notes and claims-filed information. The review was conducted in order to develop a site
specific inspection and soil sampling and analysis plan for select properties identified as
having the greatest potential concern.

PUGET
E N V I R O N M E N T A L P.L.L.C.
Based on results of the review, a schedule for follow-up site inspection was developed
for select properties to further evaluate conditions and determine what additional testing
or mitigation may be needed. A list of the 15 potentially affected properties that were
reviewed is shown on Table 1.
Site Inspection and Soil Sampling
Field Investigation
On October 15 and 16, 2019, Puget visited the Trails End Lake Community to observe
conditions at potentially affected properties and collect soil samples for analysis. During
the visit, impacts to soil and vegetation were observed as well as impacts to impervious
surfaces including concrete, asphalt, siding and vehicles. Several surface drains also
appeared to have been impacted. The impacted areas identified during the October 15
and 16 investigation are shown on Table 1.
Based on results of the records review and site inspection, soil samples were collected
at select locations to further evaluate conditions. Soil samples were collected using
hand tools and laboratory-supplied containers. Samples from each location were
examined by a state-licensed geologist and evaluated for the presence of asphalt
sealant using a combination of visual observation and colorimetric sheen testing using
laboratory-supplied solvent and equipment. Select samples were placed into an iced
cooler pending transport to the analytical laboratory.
Soil encountered generally consisted of approximately 6-inches of medium-brown to
dark black gravelly sand with silt underlain by dense tannish-brown gravelly, sand with
silt and cobbles to the maximum depth explored of approximately 1 foot. Results of
colorimetric sheen testing identified apparent asphalt sealant impacts at several
locations that appeared to affect soil from the surface to approximately 1 foot below
ground surface (bgs).
Laboratory Analysis and Results
Based on results of field observation, select samples were transported to the Friedman
& Bruya laboratory in Seattle, Washington and analyzed for total petroleum
hydrocarbons as diesel (TPH-D) and as oil (TPH-O) using Washington State
Department of Ecology (Ecology) method NWTPH-Dx. A total of 12 soil samples from 6
separate properties were analyzed.
Results indicate soil samples collected approximately 6 inches bgs near the porch and
shed at the Daignault property and near the fence at the front of the 2121 Milner

property contained TPH-D and TPH-O concentrations up to 5,700 milligrams per
kilogram (mg/kg), exceeding the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) Method A cleanup
level of 2,000 mg/kg. Remaining samples contained analyte concentrations below the
MTCA Method A cleanup level. Laboratory results are shown on Table 2. Copies of the
official laboratory reports and chain of custody documentation are attached.
DATA EVALUATION AND CLEANUP PLAN DEVELOPMENT
Based on results, it appears soil at several properties has been impacted by the asphalt
sealant material, extending from the surface to approximately one foot below ground
surface. Various impervious surfaces including concrete, asphalt, siding and vehicles
also appear to have been impacted. The areas and estimated extents of impact are
shown on Table 1.
Based on results, cleanup plans were developed for properties with identified impacts to
soil. Proposed cleanup plans are as follows:
1861 East Trails End Drive (Daignault)
Summary of Conditions - Soil beneath the site is impacted with diesel- and oil-range
hydrocarbon concentrations up to 5,700 mg/kg. Impacts appear to be present from the
surface to approximately 1 foot below ground surface in separate areas beneath and
around the playground equipment and beneath and around the shed and porch. The
extent of impact eastward beneath the foundation footing is not known. Impacted areas
are shown on Figure 1.
Impacts are also present beneath the gravel shoulder and parking areas at the western
portion of the property.
Cleanup Plan — Based on conditions, Puget recommends excavation and removal of up
to 155 cubic yards of impacted soil and gravel in the areas identified above using a
vacuum truck and excavator. Following soil removal, soil samples would be collected
from the limits of excavation to confirm removal of the impacts before backfilling with
clean material. Excavated material would then be transported off site for reuse or
disposal.
Excavation of impacted soil will require removal and replacement of the playground
equipment, shed and porch. Based on results of excavation soil samples, additional
followup testing may be recommended, as needed.

Trails End Lake Community
Mason County, Washington
Dear Ms. Wilston:
In accordance with your request, Puget Environmental, PLLC (Puget) has prepared this
cleanup proposal and cost estimate for various properties in the Trails End Lake
Community.
BACKGROUND
In July 2019 an incident reportedly occurred in the Trails End Lake Community during a
road chip-sealing project. During the project an unanticipated rainfall event reportedly
caused a portion of the asphalt road sealant material to flow onto adjacent residential
properties. Initial reports indicate approximately 25 properties may have been affected.
In October 2019, Puget conducted a detailed records review and field evaluation for 15
select properties identified as having the greatest environmental concern. Based on
results, cleanup plans were prepared for nine select properties with identified impacts to
soil. Investigation results and cleanup plan details are presented in the Site Evaluation
and Cleanup Plan Report prepared by Puget, dated October 28, 2019.
PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
Based on results, it appears soil at various properties has been impacted by asphalt
sealant material extending from the surface to approximately 1 foot below ground
surface (bgs). Various impervious surfaces including concrete, asphalt, siding and
vehicles also appear to have been affected. Cleanup plans for properties with identified
impacts to soil are presented in the October 28, 2019 cleanup plan report.

Exhibit I
Alleged Consultant Design Error Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to establish a procedure to determine if a consultant's alleged design error is of a
nature that exceeds the accepted standard of care. In addition, it will establish a uniform method for the resolution
and/or cost recovery procedures in those instances where the agency believes it has suffered some material damage
due to the alleged error by the consultant.
Step 1 Potential Consultant Design Error(s) is Identified by Agency's Project Manager
At the first indication of potential consultant design error(s),the first step in the process is for the Agency's
project manager to notify the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer regarding the potential design
error(s). For federally funded projects, the Region Local Programs Engineer should be informed and
involved in these procedures. (Note: The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer may appoint an
agency staff person other than the project manager,who has not been as directly involved in the project,
to be responsible for the remaining steps in these procedures.)
Step 2 Project Manager Documents the Alleged Consultant Design Error(s)
After discussion of the alleged design error(s) and the magnitude of the alleged error(s), and with the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer's concurrence,the project manager obtains more detailed
documentation than is normally required on the project. Examples include: all decisions and descriptions
of work; photographs, records of labor, materials and equipment.
Step 3 Contact the Consultant Regarding the Alleged Design Error(s)
If it is determined that there is a need to proceed further,the next step in the process is for the project
manager to contact the consultant regarding the alleged design error(s)and the magnitude of the alleged
error(s).The project manager and other appropriate agency staff should represent the agency and the
consultant should be represented by their project manager and any personnel (including sub-consultants)
deemed appropriate for the alleged design errors) issue.
Step 4 Attempt to Resolve Alleged Design Error with Consultant
After the meeting(s)with the consultant have been completed regarding the consultant's alleged design
error(s),there are three possible scenarios:
• It is determined via mutual agreement that there is not a consultant design error(s). If this is the case,
then the process will not proceed beyond this point.
• It is determined via mutual agreement that a consultant design error(s)occurred. If this is the case,
then the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, or their representatives, negotiate a settlement
with the consultant.The settlement would be paid to the agency or the amount would be reduced from
the consultant's agreement with the agency for the services on the project in which the design error
took place.The agency is to provide LP, through the Region Local Programs Engineer, a summary
of the settlement for review and to make adjustments, if any, as to how the settlement affects federal
reimbursements.No further action is required.
• There is not a mutual agreement regarding the alleged consultant design error(s).The consultant may
request that the alleged design error(s) issue be forwarded to the Director of Public Works or Agency
Engineer for review. If the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer, after review with their legal
counsel, is not able to reach mutual agreement with the consultant,proceed to Step 5.
Agreement Number:
Exhibit I-Local Agency Professional Services Lump Sum Consultant Agreement Revised 1110112017 Pagel of 2
Step 5 Forward Documents to Local Programs
For federally funded projects all available information, including costs, should be forwarded through the
Region Local Programs Engineer to LP for their review and consultation with the FHWA. LP will meet
with representatives of the agency and the consultant to review the alleged design error(s), and attempt
to find a resolution to the issue. If necessary, LP will request assistance from the Attorney General's Office
for legal interpretation.LP will also identify how the alleged error(s)affects eligibility of project costs
for federal reimbursement.
• If mutual agreement is reached,the agency and consultant adjust the scope of work and costs
to reflect the agreed upon resolution. LP, in consultation with FHWA,will identify the amount
of federal participation in the agreed upon resolution of the issue.
• If mutual agreement is not reached,the agency and consultant may seek settlement by arbitration
or by litigation.

Exhibit J
Consultant Claim Procedures
The purpose of this exhibit is to describe a procedure regarding claim(s) on a consultant agreement.The following
procedures should only be utilized on consultant claims greater than $1,000. If the consultant's claim(s) are a total
of$1,000 or less, it would not be cost effective to proceed through the outlined steps. It is suggested that the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer negotiate a fair and reasonable price for the consultant's claim(s)
that total$1,000 or less.
This exhibit will outline the procedures to be followed by the consultant and the agency to consider a potential
claim by the consultant.
Step 1 Consultant Files a Claim with the Agency Project Manager
If the consultant determines that they were requested to perform additional services that were outside
of the agreement's scope of work,they may be entitled to a claim.The first step that must be completed
is the request for consideration of the claim to the Agency's project manager.
The consultant's claim must outline the following:
• Summation of hours by classification for each firm that is included in the claim;
• Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
• Timeframe of the additional work that was outside of the project scope;
• Summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs,profit and reimbursable costs associated with
the additional work;and
• Explanation as to why the consultant believes the additional work was outside of the agreement
scope of work.
Step 2 Review by Agency Personnel Regarding the Consultant's Claim for Additional Compensation
After the consultant has completed step 1,the next step in the process is to forward the request to the
Agency's project manager.The project manager will review the consultant's claim and will met with the
Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer to determine if the Agency agrees with the claim.If the
FHWA is participating in the project's funding, forward a copy of the consultant's claim and the Agency's
recommendation for federal participation in the claim to the WSDOT Local Programs through the Region
Local Programs Engineer. If the claim is not eligible for federal participation, payment will need to be from
agency funds.
If the Agency project manager, Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer,WSDOT Local Programs
(if applicable), and FHWA(if applicable)agree with the consultant's claim, send a request memo, including
backup documentation to the consultant to either supplement the agreement, or create a new agreement
for the claim.After the request has been approved,the Agency shall write the supplement and/or new
agreement and pay the consultant the amount of the claim. Inform the consultant that the final payment for
the agreement is subject to audit.No further action in needed regarding the claim procedures.
If the Agency does not agree with the consultant's claim,proceed to step 3 of the procedures.
Agreement Number:
Exhibit J-Local Agency Professional Services Lump Sum Consultant Agreement Revised 11/01/2017 Page 1 of 2
Step 3 Preparation of Support Documentation Regarding Consultant's Claim(s)
If the Agency does not agree with the consultant's claim,the project manager shall prepare a summary
for the Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer that included the following:
• Copy of information supplied by the consultant regarding the claim;
• Agency's summation of hours by classification for each firm that should be included in the claim;
• Any correspondence that directed the consultant to perform the additional work;
• Agency's summary of direct labor dollars, overhead costs, profit and reimbursable costs associated
with the additional work;
• Explanation regarding those areas in which the Agency does/does not agree with the consultant's
claim(s);
• Explanation to describe what has been instituted to preclude future consultant claim(s);and
• Recommendations to resolve the claim.
Step 4 Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer Reviews Consultant Claim and Agency Documentation
The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer shall review and administratively approve or disapprove
the claim, or portions thereof,which may include getting Agency Council or Commission approval (as
appropriate to agency dispute resolution procedures). If the project involves federal participation, obtain
concurrence from WSDOT Local Programs and FHWA regarding final settlement of the claim. If the claim
is not eligible for federal participation, payment will need to be from agency funds.
Step 5 Informing Consultant of Decision Regarding the Claim
The Director of Public Works or Agency Engineer shall notify(in writing)the consultant of their final
decision regarding the consultant's claim(s). Include the final dollar amount of the accepted claim(s)
and rationale utilized for the decision.
Step 6 Preparation of Supplement or New Agreement for the Consultant's Claim(s)
The agency shall write the supplement and/or new agreement and pay the consultant the amount
of the claim. Inform the consultant that the final payment for the agreement is subject to audit.

BRIEFING DATE: December 2, 2019
BRIEFING PRESENTED BY: Frank Pinter / Diane Sheesley, P.E.
[ ] ITEM WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY BRIEFED WITH THE BOARD
Please provide explanation of urgency
Item: Approval for the Board to authorize payback of 2018 traffic diversion dollars for
the buyout of two Chevy Tahoes (K9 units) and 25% buy-down of two Ford Explorers in
December of this year.
Background: In 2018 the General Fund purchased 4 Sheriff's vehicles with Traffic
Policing Dollars. In order to maintain Rural Arterial Trust Account (RATA) funding for
Mason County the purchase of those vehicles cannot be born entirely by Road Fund
diverted dollars because those vehicles are not 100% used for traffic policing purposes.
After meeting with CRAB earlier this year, they informed us that the General Fund would
need to repay to Roads that component of the cost of the four vehicles that are not
eligible for Traffic Policing Diversion.
The Sheriff's Office, Public Works, and Support Services met and presented to the Board
three possible options for buying out vehicles:
1. Buyout two Chevy Tahoes and 25% of two Ford Explorers
2. Buyout one Chevy Tahoe and 25% of one Chevy Tahoe and two Ford Explorers
3. Buyout 70% of one Chevy Tahoe and 25% of one Chevy Tahoe and two Ford
Explorers
The Board has indicated that option 1 is preferred in order to help keep RATA funds safe.
Recommended Action: Approval for the Board to authorize the payback of 2018 traffic
diversion dollars in the amount of$102,425.21 to County Road from Non-Departmental
for the buyout of two Chevy Tahoes (K9 units) and 25% buy-down of two Ford Explorers

1. Briefly describe the project, project start date, jurisdictions or private entities
involved and their phases and timing, and which phases(s) of the project would be
funded by loan or grant?
The Economic Development Council of Mason County (EDC) is Mason County's Associate
Development Organization (ADO), partnering with the BOCC, Ports, the city of Shelton, and
a broad variety of stakeholders to drive economic growth in our community. We are a non-
profit, non-partisan organization promoting economic well-being and quality of life for
Mason County, by actively recruiting new employers and by retaining and supporting the
growth of existing employers, thereby expanding jobs that facilitate growth, enhance wealth
and provide a stable tax base.
2. Explain how the project satisfies economic development and priorities.
The EDC's mission is to promote the economic vitality and growth of Mason County. We
support that primary mission of business recruitment and development with an array of
efforts to ensure an attractive business environment, ready and able workforce, and the
necessary infrastructure to support a thriving economy as well as developing and curating
economic data required by the County, the Department of Commerce, and other
stakeholders.
Our work starts locally by retaining and expanding existing businesses to ensure that our
foundation is strong. We help communities understand local business needs and respond —
so that businesses stay, grow, and become more deeply rooted in the community. We
continue to build our business retention and expansion program to provide community
leaders with advanced warning about problems that may lead to a closure. The work
involves (1) building solid relationships with the business owners or plant managers of the
employers in the community, (2) regularly collecting data on both individual companies and
their industry sectors, (3) analyzing and tracking the collected data in order to predict its
behavior, (4) assisting the company in solving problems that may cause them to move or
close, (5) looking for opportunities to grow the businesses in their communities.
The EDC also works to attract businesses to provide new jobs and needed goods and
services to the community. This work requires current and accurate research to target
companies that would fit well in our community and support our economic ecosystem. We
have started a focused outreach to companies that are industry-related to or interdependent
with industries currently established in Mason County and are using third party lead
generators to extend our reach and penetration.
While there are many activities that fall under the EDC's scope, a key component to all our
work is communication. Effective economic development marketing differentiates the
community through thoughtful messaging, engages rather than intrudes, and informs and
educates. Through effective marketing, Mason County has positioned itself more
strategically for growth, with both current and local business. Of equal importance, our
marketing and communications initiative will continue to help educate and engage our
community regarding the organization's activities and will bring increased awareness to the
citizenry about the efforts of EDC and our many partners to expand business opportunities
and bring new and better jobs to our community.
The EDC will work to strengthen focus on Mason County's capacity-building needs and help
structure a strategic and targeted approach for securing those final infrastructure dollars.
This is a key component in establishing and maintaining a robust economic ecosystem by
helping to build capacity that contributes to individual, business, and county-wide success.
3. Will this project be a public facility which is listed in economic development plan officially
adopted by the county? [ ] Yes [X] No
4. List engineering reports, permits, feasibility studies and environmental studies which have
been completed and/or need to be completed.

5. Has other funding been secured? [X] Yes [ ] No. If yes, list source(s) of funding.

and maintain all existing contracts and investment support.

Is your request intended to fill a gap in funding (gap financing)? [x] Yes [] No
i
Requested funds are necessary to help pay the annual debt service costs incurred on funding
borrowed to build the new Belfair Wastewater Treatment/Water Reclamation Facility, and to
maintain a reasonable monthly sewer rate. Annual expenditures related to debt service are
assumed to be approximately $ 757,000 per year after applying $1,500,000 in rate relief funds
received during the 2019 legislative session. t

Is this a phased project[x] Yes [ ] No, If yes number of phases: 4 Number of years: 20
Requested loan amount$ 0 Requested grant amount $ 450,000/year
for years 2020-2021
1. Briefly describe the project, project start date,jurisdictions or private entities
involved and their phases and timing, and which phases(s) of the project would be
funded by loan or grant?
Phase 1 of the Belfair Wastewater Treatment&Water Reclamation Projects is complete
and partially funded by this grant. Phase 2, which extends service towards the Puget I
Sound Industrial Center(PSIC) is currently in the preliminary engineering phase with
construction anticipated in 2022 or sooner. Phase 2 design is fully funded and a Public
Works Board grant and low interest construction loan offer will fund construction. The
preferred alternative and funding package decision is pending.
The Phase 2 work is in partnership with the City of Bremerton and Port of Bremerton
through an Interlocal Agreement(ILA). Phase 2 is timed in coordination with the i
Page i of 4
WSDOT SR3 Freight Corridor project design and construction, along with Mason Transit
Authority's new Belfair facility.
2. Explain how the project satisfies economic development and priorities,
Belfair is one of three urban growth areas within Mason County. Provision of sewer
service is essential for economic growth within both the Belfair UGA and county. Well-
planned and constructed sewer infrastructure reduces hurdles to economic
development. Phase 2 of this project extends service to areas designated for industrial
and commercial use (along with residential) in advance of need, while making use of the
existing infrastructure capacity.
The Economic Development Element of the Mason County Comprehensive Plan identifies
infrastructure and capital improvements as one of five focus areas, noting sewer
systems as a key infrastructure need. The vision is"Mason County's utilities and
transportation networks fully support future commercial, industrial and residential
growth while preserving the natural environment and community character",
GOAL 1.1 Ensure that infrastructure is adequately sized or expandable to
accommodate current needs and projected growth.
POLICY 1.1.2 Support and encourage the extension of utilities, transportation,
and other facilities to areas designated for industrial and commercial use in '
advance of need.
Phase 2 is planned to extend service to the Puget Sound Industrial Center (PSIC) ,
with most of its area being designated as a Manufacturing/Industrial Center (MIC) by
the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). A MIC is an area intended to have a
concentration of industrial employment and comes with potential tax advantages for `
the businesses who locate there. There are only nine in the Puget Sound Region,
and PSIC has the most vacant land., In order to maintain MIC status, steps must be 1
taken to ensure the center is developable, including provision of sewer service.
3. Will this project be a public facility which is listed in economic development plan officially
adopted by the county? [x] Yes [] No
4. List engineering reports, permits, feasibility studies and environmental studies which have
been completed and/or need to be completed.

5. Has other funding been secured? [x] Yes [] No. If yes, list source(s)of funding.
Mason County actively and regularly pursues other funding sources to reduce the
current debt burden, maintain rates, and meet economic development priorities. Recent
examples of secured funding include:
• i
Legislative appropriations for rate relief I
■ Commerce grants for sewer extension planning/design
■ TLA with City of Bremerton for sewer extension planning and design
■ Public Works Board grant/loan for sewer extension construction
6. Please list other funding sources, which have been pursued or currently pursued,
The County will continue to pursue federal and state grants and loans as appropriate for
the remaining phases of implementation of the Belfair sewer project. After start-up of
Phases 1 and 2, utility rates and general facility connection charges will also be used to
operate the system and pay down the capital debt service for these initial phases of the
project.
Additional funding is required to complete the remaining phases and keep customer
utility rates affordable. Current expectations are that large portions (if not all) of the
remaining phases will be funded through developer contributions,
7. Please Indicate the number of full-time, permanent jobs this project will create.
Create in 1-3 = 20 Create in 4-5 years -- 100 Create in 6-10 years = 150 �
Number of jobs retained = 300
8. Please indicate number of businesses that will directly benefit from the public facility. 1
All existing businesses within the Belfair UGA along the SR3 and 300 Belfair corridors
directly benefit from Phase 1 sewer service. The provision of sewer service freed up
valuable urban land previously dedicated to on-site septic systems and reserve areas.
This allowed for expansion and/or re-development.
Phase 2 service will also potentialiy benefit existing businesses in the Log Yard Road
vicinity and along SR 3 north of the existing service area similar to benefits from
Phase 1. Providing a closer sewer connection will allow business to more
economically connect, thereby expanding or building new. New businesses in the
same vicinity and PSIC will benefit from planned sewer expansion.

9. Please list other significant factors about the project that should be considered.
The project will allow for the successful, planned development of entire Belfair UGA at
urban levels of density as envisioned (and required) by the State's Growth Management
Act. The conversion of on-site systems to sewer will aid In the removal of nitrogen to
Hood Canal.
10. List, in detail, how the money requested would be spent on the proposed project.
The requested dollars will be spent to help pay down the annual capital project debt
service of approximately$1 million per year that was incurred to construct Phase 1 of
the Belfair sewer system. This will help keep the annual sewer rate increases to 311/0 per
year from 2017 through 2026 with an assumed ERU growth rate of 3% per year for the
Belfair sewer system.

2. The CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to additional compensation which otherwise may
be payable, or to extension of time for (1) any act or failure to act by the Administrative Officer
of COUNTY, or (2) the happening of any event or occurrence, unless the CONTRACTOR has

extension of time, unless within thirty (30) days of the accomplishment of the portion of the work
from which the claim arose, and before final payment by COUNTY, the CONTRACTOR has
given COUNTY a detailed written statement of each element of cost or other compensation
requested and of all elements of additional time required, and copies of any supporting
documents evidencing the amount or the extension of time claimed to be due.
Arbitration:
Other than claims for injunctive relief brought by a party hereto (which may be brought either in
court or pursuant to this arbitration provision), and consistent with the provisions hereinabove,
any claim, dispute or controversy between the parties under, arising out of, or related to this
CONTRACT or otherwise, including issues of specific performance, shall be determined by
arbitration in Shelton, Washington, under the applicable American Arbitration Association (MA)
rules in effect on the date hereof, as modified by this CONTRACT. There shall be one arbitrator
selected by the parties within ten (10) days of the arbitration demand, or if not, by the AAA or
any other group having similar credentials. Any issue about whether a claim is covered by this
CONTRACT shall be determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall apply substantive law and
may award injunctive relief, equitable relief(including specific performance), or any other
remedy available from a judge, including expenses, costs and attorney fees to the prevailing
party and pre-award interest, but shall not have the power to award punitive damages. The
decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and an order confirming the award or
judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The parties agree

arbitration is commenced, regardless of the date of discovery or whether the claim, dispute or
issue was continuing in nature. Claims, disputes or issues arising more than six (6) years prior
to a written request or demand for arbitration issued under this CONTRACT are not subject to
arbitration.

circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other terms, conditions or
applications which can be given effect without the invalid term, condition or application. To this
end, the terms and conditions of this CONTRACT are declared severable.
Waiver:
Waiver of any breach or condition of this CONTRACT shall not be deemed a waiver of any prior
or subsequent breach. No term or condition of this CONTRACT shall be held to be waived,
modified or deleted except by an instrument, in writing, signed by the parties hereto. The failure
of COUNTY to insist upon strict performance of any of the covenants of this CONTRACT, or to

CONTRACT and Consultant agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period no less

B. Certificate of Insurance:

applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all indemnifying parties to do likewise.

by CONTRACTOR pursuant to this CONTRACT shall be endorsed to delete the subrogation

any policies required within 10 days of such request. COUNTY has the right, but not the duty,
to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests. Any premium so paid by
COUNTY shall be charged to and promptly paid by CONTRACTOR or deducted from sums
due CONTRACTOR. Any actual or alleged failure on the part of COUNTY or any other
additional insured under these requirements to obtain proof of insurance required under this
CONTRACT in no way waives any right or remedy of COUNTY or any additional insured, in
this or in any other regard.
6. It is acknowledged by the parties of this CONTRACT that all insurance coverage required to
be provided by CONTRACTOR or indemnifying party, is intended to apply first and on a primary
non-contributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self-insurance available to COUNTY.
7. CONTRACTOR agrees not to self-insure or to use any self-insured retentions on any portion
of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any indemnifying party to
self- insure its obligations to COUNTY. If CONTRACTOR's existing coverage includes a self-
insured retention, the self-insured retention must be declared to the COUNTY. The COUNTY
may review options with CONTRACTOR, which may include reduction or elimination of the self-
insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions.
8. CONTRACTOR will renew the required coverage annually as long as COUNTY, or its
employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this
CONTRACT. This obligation applies whether or not the CONTRACT is canceled or terminated
for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until COUNTY executes a written
statement to that effect.
9. The limits of insurance as described above shall be considered as minimum requirements.
Should any coverage carried by CONTRACTOR or a subcontractor of any tier maintain
insurance with limits of liability that exceed the required limits or coverage that is broader than
as outlined above, those higher limits and broader coverage shall be deemed to apply for the
benefit of any person or organization included as an additional insured and those limits shall
become the required minimum limits of insurance in all Paragraphs and Sections of this
CONTRACT.
10. None of the policies required herein shall be in compliance with these requirements if they
include any limiting endorsement that has not been first submitted to COUNTY and approved of
in writing.
16
11. The requirements in this Exhibit supersede all other sections and provisions of this
CONTRACT to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the
provisions of this Exhibit.
12. Unless otherwise approved by COUNTY, insurance provided pursuant to these
requirements shall be by insurers authorized to do business in Washington and with a minimum
A.M. Best rating of A-:VII.
13. All insurance coverage and limits provided by CONTRACTOR and available or applicable to
this CONTRACT are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this
CONTRACT limits the application of such insurance coverage.
14. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide prompt notice to COUNTY of any notice of cancellation of
any required policy or of any material alteration or non-renewal of any such policy, other than for
non-payment of premium. CONTRACTOR shall assure that this provision also applies to any of
its employees, agents or subcontractors engaged by or on behalf of CONTRACTOR in relation
to this CONTRACT.
15. COUNTY reserves the right at any time during the term of the CONTRACT to change the
amounts and types of insurance required by giving the CONTRACTOR ninety (90) days
advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to
the CONTRACTOR, the COUNTY and CONTRACTOR may renegotiate CONTRACTOR's
compensation.
16. Requirements of specific coverage features are not intended as limitation on other
requirements or as waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific
reference to a coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue
and is not intended by any party or insured to be all-inclusive.
17. CONTRACTOR agrees to provide immediate notice to COUNTY of any claim or loss against
CONTRACTOR arising out of the work performed under this CONTRACT. COUNTY assumes
no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty)to monitor the
handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve COUNTY.
