Exhibit A
Nashua - Crown Street Park & Ride Project
Scope of Work and Task Descriptions
June 15, 2016
Detailed Existing Conditions Survey - A detailed survey will be conducted for the subject parcels of
land containing 2 buildings and parking. The survey will include existing planimetric features such
as buildings and pavement, utilities (including sewer, water, stormwater, gas, electric, cable and
telephone) with pipe sizes, material and inverts, walks, fences, treelines, stone walls, head walls,
swales, culverts, utility poles, wetland flagging and pertinent site features, excluding landscaping
and cosmetic features within the project limits. The topographic mapping will extend 25’ beyond
boundary perimeter. No topographic information will be collected within the railroad right-of-way.
Existing Conditions Base Plan - All field survey data will be adjusted, plotted and drafted.
Topographic mapping will be produced depicting contours at a one foot interval. GM2 will provide
an electronic drawing in AutoCAD format and the appropriate existing ground DTM and Data files
for design use.
Task 1.3 — Resource Identification
The MJ Team will confirm the resource identifications completed by the City as part of the NEPA
process that concluded in 2013. Resources and related considerations to be identified or
addressed include:
Wetlands — The 2013 NEPA Document states that “it does not appear that there are
wetlands onsite.” MJ will perform a review of the parcels to confirm this statement. Any
wetlands found will be mapped based on a field delineation and survey within the project
site. Wetland functions, values, and general characteristics will be described. For the
purposes of this scope, it is assumed that no wetlands will be found onsite.
Threatened/Endangered Species, Wildlife, and Fisheries Habitat - The NH Fish and Game
Department and the NH Natural Heritage Bureau will be contacted to update the
determinations regarding the existence .of any threatened or endangered species or
important habitat within the project vicinity. Fish and wildlife habitat will be identified using
existing published information along with observations made during the wetland delineation
work. Habitat areas will be described in general terms and no detailed studies or surveys
will be required except for a survey for the presence of bats. Since the NEPA document
was completed in 2013, northern long-eared bats have been added to the federal
- Threatened Species List. MJ will coordinate with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service regarding
the potential for rare bats on site. It is assumed no forested habitat will be affected and that
the existing warehouse building will need to be surveyed to determine if there is any bat
activity associated with the building. This will involve a visual inspection of the building
interior and exterior followed by a visua! survey to determine whether bats are emerging
from the building.
Historic Resources — The 2013 NEPA document stated that “no impacts will occur to the
buildings onsite” as part of the project. It is assumed that the warehouse building will be
demolished as part of this project. Therefore, additional coordination with NHDHR will be
required to revise and update the Environmental Document. It is anticipated that NHDHR
will continue to find that the project will have no affect on historical or archaeological
resources.
Invasive Species —The types and extent of invasive species will be identified during field
investigations and their locations will be shown on the construction plans. These species, if
present, will be described in general terms.
