RESCI[R!:ES \1 \\.\(;EVE\T <br /> <br />September 22, 2004 <br /> <br />Mr. Taig Higgins <br />City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, M-36 <br />Santa Ana~ CA 92702 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Proposal to Conduct Protocol Bat Surveys for Four Bridges in the City of <br />Santa Ana, CA <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Higgins: <br /> <br />Michael Brandman Associates (MBA) is pleased to provide you this scope of work and fee <br />estimate to conduct protocol bat surveys for four bridges in the City of Santa Ana that cross the <br />Santa Ana River. Under this scope of work, MBA will conduct protocol bat surveys <br />(presence/absence) for each bridge separately. Surveys will be conducted according to an <br />approved protocol designated by California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG). <br /> <br />Scope of Work <br /> <br />Protocol Bat Surveys <br />The study requires a standard bat survey to be conducted on each of the four bridges associated <br />with the project retrofitting. Each bridge will be surveyed three times with a minimum of seven <br />days between surveys. Protocol surveys will be stopped if a bat population is found. Each bridge <br />will be surveyed independently by separate biologists, or will be surveyed on separate nights by <br />the same biologists. Surveys will begin approximately at sun-down and will continue for <br />approximately one hour after dusk (approximately 4 hours per survey). <br /> <br />A letter report of findings will be prepared and shall consist of an evaluation of each bridge found <br />in the study area. The. report will contain a detailed description of each bridge structure including <br />all detected bat roosting locations, if any. <br /> <br />If bats are detected within any of the bridge structures, a qualified bat biologist will be consulted <br />as part of a separate scope of work in order to detennine the exact species identified during the <br />surveys and to develop specific measures in order to protect the bats during construction activity. <br />If it is detennined that the retrofitting will significantly reduce the roosting habitat within the <br />bridge structure, installation of roosting structures below the bridge deck will be required and <br />installed at locations approved by CDFŒ <br /> <br />no Commerce.
