The results of the study will be used to determine the efficacy of alternative mitigation strategies in subbasins currently without suitable mitigation options (e.g., yellow and red zones) and could greatly expand the value of both parties existing water right portfolio if successful. Aspect is currently providing oversight during design, implementation, and reporting of the study results. Two issues have arisen that have resulted in changed conditions relative to our existing contract. First, Ecology has requested additional technical information and stakeholder coordination beyond that anticipated. This has resulted in a site visit with Ecology staff and a meeting with Yakama Nation, USBR, and WDFW staff already, and additional technical coordination is expected in response to a list of questions posed by Ecology. Aspect met with Ecology management on June 21, 2018 and reached resolution on the technical assistance and permitting approach. That effort is expected to include a higher level of coordination over the pilot with Ecology. This task includes additional time for biweekly updates to Ecology, Kittitas County, and Pat Deneen on the project, and returning to the Water Transfer Working Group to present the project. Aspect will perform this effort on an as-directed, time-and- materials basis, throughout 2018. Second, Ecology is requiring a permit for the project, and an agreed-upon permitting strategy was reached at the Ecology meeting. Aspect is contracting directly with Pat Deneen for that permitting effort. Given the uncertainty in the development of this project and that formal Ecology and WTWG concurrence will be necessary, Aspect proposes to complete this work on a time-and-materials basis, not-to-exceed: $4,500. This change amends contract between Aspect Consulting, LLC and Client dated November 6, 2013. Except as amended above, all terms and conditions of contract apply to this contract change.
