EC ENVIRONMENTAL Project Management The designated project manager, Jim Kolk, has served as the primary project manager for the City's WDR compliance, environmental compliance, and FOG Control Program projects for the past 12 years and will continue to serve in this role (for a minimum of 1 year). Jim will provide overall management and leadership to maintain an effective team, ensure availability of technical staff, maintain a high quality of work, ensure all work is performed pursuant to safety standards, and resolve project issues. While many tasks can and should be handled directly by technical staff, all project communication will be routed through Jim to ensure continuity of project tasks and control of project resources. If Jim is unavailable, Joseph Jenkins will serve as the secondary project manager. EEC will continue to implement a quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) process that will include periodic reviews throughout the project. The project manager will ensure that required elements are effectively incorporated into the project and the principal -in -charge will ensure that the project manager is routinely performing this verification. Qualified team members with no prior involvement in the particular task will verify technical tasks, including intermediate calculations and determinations of key parameters, for accuracy and completeness. The project manager and, when appropriate, the principal -in -charge, will review all reports and presentations for technical content and format. Understanding Scope of Services EEC understands that the City wishes to partner with a consultant that possesses the expertise and proven experience to ensure the City's continued compliance with the Statewide WDR and a variety of other mandated compliance programs. EEC shares in the City's desire to develop effective water and sewer system programs that address regulatory requirements while maximizing the usage of available City resources. Since the issuance of Order No. R8-2002-0014 by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board in 2002 and subsequent issuance of the current Statewide General WDR for Sanitary Sewer Systems (Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ) in 2006 and Revised Monitoring and Reporting Program (WQ 2013-0058-EXEC), EEC has applied its insight in developing and implementing practical and defensible programs designed to maximize resources, ensure clients' continued regulatory compliance, and reduce sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). EEC fully understands the intricacies of the WDR, including the biannual internal program audits and 5-year SSMP update processes. Extensive experience in developing SSMP programs, auditing programs, and developing supporting documentation for various cities and sewer agencies has armed the EEC team with the tools necessary to advise the City on quarterly WDR training, SSO contingency planning, and ongoing WDR compliance. Having previously assisted the City to implement GIS and InfraMAP software for sewer system maintenance, EEC fully understands the task of developing a sewer system maintenance program schedule to optimize cleaning frequencies and maximize City resources. EEC also understands the importance of a timely response to minimize the environmental impacts of SSOs and importance of reporting accurate volume estimations and timely reporting to the California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) as required by the WDR. Having provided FSE inspection services for the City, EEC knows how critical it is to maintain positive relationships with the local business community.
