Cowlitz River at Packwood Floodplain Mapping
Scope of Work
Project Background
Lewis County Department of Public Works(County)seeks to develop new FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRMs) for the Cowlitz River in and near the community of Packwood, Washington. Existing FEMA maps for
the reach of the Cowlitz near Packwood are based on an outdated 1979 study which assumed flood water
from the Cowlitz River would overtop a natural ridge along the left bank of the river and flow southeast
through Packwood, ultimately reaching Hall Creek to the east of town. Flooding of Packwood by the Cowlitz
River has not been observed historically, including during an extreme flood in November 2006 that was
estimated to be nearly a 100-year event. The County desires updated analysis and mapping will remove the
Packwood downtown core from the FEMA floodplain.
In addition to the Cowlitz River an updated hydraulic analysis and mapping of Hall Creek will also be required
to evaluate how changes in overflows from the Cowlitz River might affect the mapping of that creek.The
effective FIRMs indicate that flooding from Hall Creek may control inundation within the eastern portion of
the Packwood downtown core. The project scope assumes both the Cowlitz River and Hall Creek will be
studied.
The County has secured funding to update the FEMA floodplain maps and selected Watershed Science and
Engineering (WSE)to prepare the update.
Scope of Work
Task 1—Project Administration and Kick-Off Meeting
Project Administration—WSE will perform project administration activities including, but not limited to:
developing and maintaining a detailed project schedule,coordinating with the County's project manager,
organizing and facilitating team meetings as needed,submitting monthly invoices and progress reports, and
managing all sub-consultants.
Project Kick-Off Meeting—At the start of the project, key members of the WSE team will meet with County
staff to confirm project goals,discuss expectations, review and refine the project scope and schedule, and
obtain or request existing data and information.
Deliverables: 1) Project schedule; 2) Monthly invoices and progress reports.
Task 2—Public Outreach
WSE and subconsultant Perteet will develop a public outreach plan to engage and inform Packwood
residents. The plan may consist of community meetings, information gathering sessions, and online project
updates to ensure that all residents and business owners, including both full-and part-time community
members, are kept informed. The budget assumes up to 5 public meetings will be conducted including an
initial community meeting(as part of the March Packwood Development Authority(PDA) meeting),a
preliminary results meeting, a community meeting coinciding with the release of the LOMR, and up to two
additional meetings.
Cowlitz River at Packwood Floodplain Mapping Scope of Work 1 ' Page
Deliverables: Meeting announcements,flyers, agendas,facilitation, and summaries(note that the
Consultant team will not organize or facilitate the March PDA meeting).
Task 3—Site Reconnaissance
Key members of WSE's team will conduct a site reconnaissance to identify key hydraulic controls and
evaluate field conditions relevant to the hydraulic modeling, refine bathymetric and topographic data
collection plans,and inform data collection needed to construct the hydraulic model. It is anticipated that
the study will cover the reach of the Cowlitz River from the upstream extent of the current detailed study
near RM 132 (at the confluence with the Muddy Fork)to downstream of the Hwy 12 Bridge(Cora Bridge)
near RM 116.4.
Deliverables: 1) Field notes, photographs,work plans for data collection activities.
Task 4—Topographic Data Collection
WSE subconsultant GeoTerra will collect LiDAR and aerial photographic imagery as needed to produce
topographic mapping for the entire study area at a map scale of 1" = 100 feet, including feature data
collection, imagery,terrain,contours,and LiDAR data. Imagery collected in May or June,during a time of
low shadow conditions,will facilitate the delineation of feature data (structures, roads, fence lines, etc.)
throughout the study area. In this area,the reduction in shadows will assist with collection of feature data.
Lidar,collected in the late summer or early fall of 2020, during low water conditions for best coverage,will
provide an accurate terrain surface. Ground control survey for the topographic data acquisition will be
completed by Pacific Geomatic Services(PGS). The control survey will consist of fourteen (14)control points
within the study area.
Assumptions:
• Acquisition of mapping grade aerial imagery is planned for May or June of 2020 with suitable flows
and sun angles for aerial imagery and at a time when there is no appreciable snow cover.
• Acquisition of the LiDAR is planned for late summer of 2020.
• Topographic mapping and orthophoto imagery deliverables will be available within 60 days of the
final Lidar data acquisition.
Deliverables:
• Project Map, boundaries, control, flight lines, exposures,and tile layout of orthophotos in ArcGIS
format
• Floodplain features,terrain surface, and DEM/DTM in AutoCAD dwg format
• Floodplain features and terrain folder in ArcGIS geodatabase format
• Color orthophotography in uncompressed GeoTiff format(tiles)
• Color orthophotography in compressed SID/SDW format (tiles and mosaic at 1:20 target
compression)
• Lidar report in PDF format
• Metadata (technical details) in PDF format.
Task 5—Bathymetric Survey
WSE's subconsultant PGS will collect bathymetric survey data for cross sections throughout the study area
including the Cowlitz River, Muddy Fork, and (potentially) Hall Creek. Cross sections will be surveyed at a
Cowlitz River at Packwood Floodplain Mapping Scope of Work 2 I P a g e
nominal spacing of 500 feet to provide data for the proposed one-dimensional/two-dimensional (1D/2D)
hydraulic modeling.The survey will include cross sections at key locations along the river such as grade
changes and significant hydraulic constrictions.Approximately 170 cross sections will be surveyed along the
main stem of the Cowlitz River and an additional 15 cross sections on the Muddy Fork. Cross section surveys
will be collected for Hall Creek to the extent these are necessary for accurate hydraulic modeling. That will
depend on the amount of flow to be conveyed (including Cowlitz River overflows)and the size of the
channel and its visibility in the LIDAR data.
WSE will combine the bathymetric data and topographic surface derived from LiDAR to create cross sections
for the hydraulic model. In locations where 2D modeling will be used a composite terrain surface(combined
topographic and bathymetric data)will be developed. The area of breakout flows from the Cowlitz River
through Packwood will likely be modeled using a 2D flow area. Hall Creek will be modeled as either a 1D
branch or 2D flow area,to be determined after initial modeling is conducted. Other areas along the main
stem Cowlitz or Muddy Fork may be modeled as 2D flow areas if this is determined to be necessary for
accurate hydraulic analysis. In locations to be modeled using 2D the terrain surface will be developed by
interpolating a bathymetric surface from the cross section surveys and merging this with the LiDAR
topographic data.
Assumptions:
• Cross-section survey will be performed during low-flow conditions, likely in late August or
September.
• The County will acquire right of entry for private properties that need to be accessed.
• Cross-section surveys will be focused on bathymetric areas not visible in the LiDAR, plus limited
extension to overlap with the LiDAR.
Deliverables: 1)Cross section bathymetric survey data; 2) Composite topographic surface for 20 model
areas created by merging the bathymetric surface and topographic data.
(
Task 6—Hydrologic Analysis
Hydrologic data in the form of discharge hydrographs for the 10-,2-, 1-and 0.2-percent annual-chance
events will be developed for the Cowlitz River, Muddy Fork, and Hall Creek. WSE will use USGS gage data for
the Cowlitz River and regression equations to develop hydrologic data for the Cowlitz River and Muddy
Creek. Hydrologic data for Hall Creek will be developed using regression equations or potentially WWHM
hydrologic modeling as appropriate.
Deliverables: 1) Hydrologic data development summary;2) Hydrologic data suitable for use as input to the
hydraulic modeling&analysis.
Task 7—Hydraulic Modeling
WSE will use the topographic surface, bathymetric data, and hydrologic inputs to develop an unsteady HEC-
RAS 1D/2D model of the project area that includes the Cowlitz River, Muddy Fork,and Hall Creek within the
study area described previously. This study area is extremely complex from a hydraulic perspective, and a
1D/2D hydraulic model will reflect that complexity as needed for accurate floodplain mapping. The model
will be calibrated to available high-water mark data (including anecdotal information)then run to compute
water surface elevations and flood extents for the 10-, 2-, 1-and 0.2-percent annual-chance events.The
Cowlitz River at Packwood Floodplain Mapping Scope of Work 3 I P a g e
1
3 regulatory floodways of the Cowlitz River and Hall Creek will also be updated to match with current channel
alignments and to provide adequate flood flow conveyance per FEMA guidelines.
Deliverables: 1) Hydraulic model development and calibration summary; 2) Hydraulic model inputs and
outputs, 3) reporting as necessary to support a map revision request submittal to FEMA.
Task 8—Floodplain Mapping
WSE will delineate the 1-and 0.2 percent annual-chance floodplain and FEMA floodway boundaries for the
Cowlitz River and Hall Creek. Deliverables will meet all FEMA submittal requirements as described in FEMA
Guidelines and Specifications.
Deliverables: 1) Mapping of the 1-and 0.2-percent annual-chance floodplain boundary delineations;2) FEMA
floodway boundary delineations; 3) base flood elevations (BFEs); 4) applicable base map features, and 5)
FEMA acceptable metadata files describing the mapping data.
Task 9—Study Documentation and FEMA Coordination
WSE will provide data,documents,and other information required by FEMA to process a Letter of Map
Revision (LOMR)or Physical Map Revision (PMR) request.
Deliverables will include:
1. Written documentation describing the methods and assumptions used in the hydrologic and hydraulic
analyses, special modeling techniques, model calibration, and the delineation of the floodplain and
floodway boundaries.
2. Discharge summary data,water surface elevations,and other pertinent floodplain data in tabular form
listed by cross section referenced to river/stream mile designations and major landmarks.
3. Discussion of the transition of the 1-percent annual-chance floodplain and floodway boundaries to
adjacent effective FEMA flood studies.
4. Required LOMR or PMR application forms including flood profiles, floodway data tables, floodplain
workmaps, and study documentation for County review and subsequent submittal to FEMA.
5. Support to the County for the review and resolution of appeals or comments received following
community notification of proposed floodplain map changes.
6. Support to the County to respond to concerns or questions raised during FEMA's review of the LOMR
or PMR request.

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 error(s)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.

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.

Exhibit J-Local Agency A &E Professional Services Lump Sum Consultant Agreement Revised 01/01/2020 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.

BOCC AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Resolution: BOCC Meeting Date: Am h b, 2U20
Suggested Wording for Agenda Item: Agenda Type: Deliberation
Acceptance of Agreement between Lewis County and Watershed Science and Engineering, Inc. for
a Cowlitz River Floodplain Study and Authorizing Signatures Thereon
Contact: Betsy Dillin Phone: 360-740-1138
Department: PW - Public Works
Description:
Lewis County Department of Public Works (County) seeks to develop new FEMA Flood Insurance
Rate Maps (FIRMs) for the Cowlitz River in and near the community of Packwood, Washington.
Existing FEMA maps for the reach of the Cowlitz near Packwood are based on an outdated 1979
study which assumed flood water from the Cowlitz River would overtop a natural ridge along the
left bank of the river and flow southeast through Packwood, ultimately reaching Hall Creek to the
east of town. Flooding of Packwood by the Cowlitz River has not been observed historically,
including during an extreme flood in November 2006 that was estimated to be nearly a 100-year
event. The County desires updated analysis and mapping will remove the Packwood downtown
core from the FEMA floodplain.
In addition to the Cowlitz River an updated hydraulic analysis and mapping of Hall Creek will also
be required to evaluate how changes in overflows from the Cowlitz River might affect the mapping
of that creek. The effective FIRMs indicate that flooding from Hall Creek may control inundation
within the eastern portion of the Packwood downtown core. The project scope assumes both the
Cowlitz River and Hall Creek will be studied.
The County has secured funding to update the FEMA floodplain maps and selected Watershed
Science and Engineering, Inc. (WSE) to prepare the update.
