Contractor's Obligations. Contractor shall complete the following. 1.1 Monitoring The major parameters of interest for long term monitoring of great blue herons are colony size (i.e., the number of active nests), nesting success (i.e., the proportion of nests successful in fledging young, or conversely the level of abandonment) and nesting productivity (i.e., the number of young fledged per successful and per active nests). The Contractor proposes a dual effort to: (1) more accurately monitor the success of the heronry and, (2) investigate the proximate cause of the apparent heronry decline. The monitoring protocol to be used to evaluate heronry success is based on the one established by Vennesland and Norman(2006). Under this protocol,the heronry would be visited by a CWS biologist at least every other week during the breeding season beginning with arrival at the heronry in late March or early April. Data collected will include location, species, and number of nest trees; total number of nests; number of active nests; activity at nest; failed nests; number of young; age of young; number of young fledged; number of successful nests;and evidence of predation.An important part of the protocol is an assessment of the heronry in terms of nest stand health,potential replacement stands,existing and potential threats to the persistence of the heronry, and recommendations to improve conditions for herons in the North Star 1 Master Service Agreement#: 008.2019 Rev:2018-10-10 btf area. In order to investigate factors contributing to the heronry decline, CWS will observe interactions between river-based recreationists and nesting and foraging herons. Data collected will include type of recreation(e.g.,paddle board,kayak,tube,etc.),number in the party,and noise level(e.g.,playing music, talking quietly or loud, etc.). CWS biologists will also observe the heronry for signs of avian and mammalian predation. If it is determined that herons are not nesting at NSNP in 2019, a pedestrian survey of the river reach south of the property will be conducted to determine whether the heronry has moved and remains active. This survey will be conducted from NSNP to Difficult Campground(-2.6 mi). 1.2 Reporting Deliverables will include a Heronry Monitoring Report which will describe the field work methodology and provide results and conclusions. The Contractor will also include GIS maps depicting survey locations; maps of observations including nest trees,active foraging areas,predation events, and signs of production(e.g.,egg shells,guano,etc.); GPS data; and photographs.A detailed list of recommendations to improve conditions at NSNP for heron nesting and foraging will be included in the report. The Contractor will also provide OST all GIS shapefiles, GPS data, and raw data collected during 2019 surveys in order to facilitate future studies. Budget: see spreadsheet 2. Compensation and Expenses, Invoicing, Payment and Offset. The County shall compensate Contractor for its services in accordance with the Project Budget and Schedule set out in Paragraph 1 of this Task Order. It is expressly understood and agreed that in no event will the total compensation and reimbursement to be paid hereunder exceed the sum of seventeen thousand four hundred and eighty dollars and eight cents ($17,480.08) for all services rendered. By Task Order or Task Order Amendment, the County and Contractor may reallocate the budget among project tasks if the total budget amount remains unchanged. Contractor shall invoice for the project monthly based on hours worked, with payment expected within thirty (30) days of invoice, but any payment by the County may be offset by any amount the Contractor owes the County for any reason. Any invoices not sent in the following manner may have payment delayed. All invoices for this Task Order shall reference Task Order 008.2019 A-15 and North Star Great Blue Heron Colony Assessment. Invoices shall be sent electronically in PDF format to lindsey.utter@pitkincounty.com and gary.tennenbaum@pitkincounty.com with a copy to kim.arensdorf@pitkincounty.com.. 3.
