Contract No.: 24 (revised)Project No.: 150338 Date: November 23,2020
Client: Kittitas County
Project Name: Consumptive Use Pilot Study
LTING
Contract Change
Aspect Consulting, LLC (Aspect) is assisting Kittitas County and Granite
Creek Ranches LLC on their partnership on a pilot study to quantitatively
determine the percent of consumptive use associated with indoor-only
domestic use. 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. Contract Change No.
16 identified the scope of work, deliverables, and budget ($16,500)
required for this project. Contract Change No. 20 was executed to increase
the proposed budget by $4,500. However, the cost increase authorized by
Contract Change No. 20 will not be adequate to complete the scope of
work. Contract Change No. 24 therefore replaces Contract Change No. 20
and increases $12,000 to the original budget amountof $16,500,
authorizing a total cost of $28,500 for the Consumptive Use Pilot Study.
This contract change also establishes a period of performance for the
scope of work identified in Contract Change No.l6.
Completion Date: December 31,2022
Project Schedule. Pilot Study Methodology Technical Memorandum Due 3l3ll202I. Irnplementation and Monitoring: Spring 202I (upon completion of
septic installation by Granite Creek Ranches LLC) through
l0/3U2022.. Final Report Due: l2l3l/2022
Budget increase justification: Two issues have arisen that have resulted
in changed conditions relative to our existing contract. First, Ecology
req uested add itional technical informati on and stakeho lder coordination
beyond that anticipated. This has resulted in extensive coordination
including a meeting with YakamaNation, USBR, and WDFW stafl and
additional technical coordination with Ecology in response to a list of
questions posed. Aspect met with Ecolory management on June 21,2018
Given the uncertainty in the
development of this project
and that formal Ecolory and
WTWG concurrence will be
necessary, Aspect proposes
to complete this work on a
time-and-materials basis,
not-to-exceed:
$12,000

Change Order No. 24 (revised)
Project No. 150338
and reached resolution on the technical assistance and permitting
approach. That effort will continue to include a higher level of
coordination over the pilot with Ecology and other stakeholders. This task
includes additional time for biweekly updates to Ecology, Kittitas County,
and Granite Creek Ranches LLC on the project. It also includes a second
presentation of the project before the Water Transfer Working Group in
July 2018. Aspect will continue to perform these coordination efforts on
an as-directed, t ime -and-materials bas is, thro u gh out 2022. This contract
assumes 43 hours total of Associate and Principal time for meetings and
coordination.
Second, Ecolory is requiring a permit for the project, and an agreed-upon
permitting stratery was reached at the Ecology meeting. Aspect is
contracting directly with Pat Deneen and Granite Creek Ranches LLC for
that permitting effort and additional hydrogeologr required to support the
ROE and response to public comment letters.
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.
