AGREEMENT NO. 2024-41 Page 11 of 16 EXHIBIT B - STATEMENT OF WORK & BUDGET Title: Salmonid Residence, Survival, and Migration in Newly Constructed Habitat Site in the Lower Duwamish River PURPOSE: This project seeks to install and operationalize a passive integrated transponder (PIT) array at the Duwamish River People’s Park and Shoreline Habitat (DRPP) to monitor juvenile fish use and migration through the newly restored habitat. There is a large data gap on how out-migrating salmonids are utilizing recently completed habitat restoration projects within the highly modified estuarine environment of the lower Duwamish River. Many sampling efforts have tried to address this using beach seining in the Duwamish. This method only captures fish presence at a single moment in time and does not allow researchers to determine if restoration projects are indeed providing meaningful long-term rearing habitat. Based on WRIA 9 funded research done to date, we know that this long-term rearing is key to producing Chinook outmigrants that will survive to adulthood. The Port of Seattle’s DRPP offers migrating salmonids off-channel estuarine refugia that hasn’t been available for almost 100 years. Direct sampling methods (i.e., fyke net) indicate juvenile Chinook salmon are entering the off-channel marsh basin within the DRPP but little is known about how these fish are using the site (e.g., residence time, repeated entry, etc.). A PIT array will be installed at the mouth of the DRPP marsh basin. During fyke net deployment, any salmonids that meet the appropriate tagging criteria will have a PIT tag inserted. The tagged fish will then be released back into the main channel of the Duwamish River. If a tagged fish enters the marsh basin, the PIT array will record its data. The Port and King County will then analyze the data to help determine how the tagged fish are utilizing the DRPP marsh basin, including residence time, multiple reentries , overall migration patterns, etc. This is a complementary project to King County’s current research on juvenile salmonid migration in the lower Green River. Several thousand fish will be tagged upstream as part of that project, and the PIT arrays at DRPP will be able to detect if/how any fish tagged elsewhere in the watershed (or greater Puget Sound) are utilizing the marsh basin. This will provide invaluable information on juvenile salmonid migratory patterns in a comprehensive, watershed-scale way. The DRPP project is one of the largest habitat restoration projects in the Duwamish estuary in a generation. DRPP is a Tier 1 project identified in WRIA 9’s Salmon Habitat Plan (WRIA 9 2021). It aligns with WRIA 9’s recovery strategy of protect, restore, and enhance estuarine habitat and with the Duwamish Blueprint program identified within the Salmon Habitat Plan. Effectiveness monitoring and enhanced fish monitoring to understand how fish are using the project site is essential to ensure that this project and future estuary restoration projects in the Duwamish maximize benefits to salmon. The CONTRACTOR shall report in writing delays, or adverse conditions that will materially affect their ability to meet project objectives or time schedules. This disclosure shall be accompanied by a statement of the action taken or proposed and any assistance needed by PSP to resolve the situation.

AGREEMENT NO. 2024-41 Page 14 of 16 EXHIBIT C - Deliverable & Billing Procedures Title: Salmonid Residence, Survival, and Migration in Newly Constructed Habitat Site in the Lower Duwamish River DELIVERABLE PROCEDURES Deliverable requirements, including due dates, are specified in Exhibit B, Statement of Work and Budget. CONTRACTOR shall submit deliverables to the PSP Project Manager listed on page 1 of this Agreement. Do not attach deliverables to invoice vouchers. The PSP Project Manager must provide written Acceptance of deliverables to CONTRACTOR and to PSP Fiscal before PSP Fiscal can pay an invoice for those deliverables. BILLING & INVOICE VOUCHER REQUIREMENTS To request payment, the CONTRACTOR shall submit a form A-19 invoice voucher at least monthly to the AGENCY unless there are no deliverables due for the month of billing. CONTRACTOR shall only bill for completed tasks and deliverables agreed to in Exhibit B, Statement of Work & Budget.
