DATE: January 27, 2015
SUBJECT: Approval of Task Order No. 02 in the amount of $62,500 with the Watershed

RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Task Order No. 02 in the amount of $62,500 with the Watershed
Conservation Resource Center for continuing native vegetation establishment efforts and
performing minor adjustments within the stream as necessary to ensure the continued success
of completed restoration projects and the associated budget adjustment
BACKGROUND:
On January 7, 2014, City Council approved Resolution Number 5645 to waive competitive
bidding and enter into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Watershed
Conservation Resource Center (WCRC) expressing the City's desire to work jointly with the
WCRC to identify, fund and completed stream restoration project and work together on nonpoint
source (NPS) related issued associated with reducing nutrients and improving riparian and other
natural areas. To that degree, the City and WCRC have completed several restoration projects
though this partnership. These projects included, but are not limited to, the White River
Riverbank Stabilization Project, Niokaska Creek within Sweetbriar Park, Niokaska Creek within
Gulley Park and the West Fork of White River Airport Site
DISCUSSION:
The MOU (Effective date January 9, 2014) outlines a process by which task orders can be
developed for various activities that are in line with the goal of reducing NPS pollution and
restoring the City's streams. Task Order No 2 is presented pursuant to the MOU and consists
of continuing efforts to establish and maintain dense native vegetation as well as make minor
modifications as necessary to the stream to ensure the continued success of the completed
restoration projects.
Establishment of a high-density riparian zone consisting of native vegetation is critical in
creating stream and river restoration project that will, upon maturity of the vegetation, be able to
withstand the power of future flood events. This can take several growing seasons to achieve
