• Protecting the City's interests while supporting OCWD's need to remediate the basin As assigned, EEC will assist the City as it works with OCWD's design engineer, to develop the most appropriate treatment design for each impacted well. The estimated level of effort for as -assigned production well O&M assessment and support services is projected at approximately 150-200 hours. Water Distribution Infrastructure EEC has and can continue to assist the City with a wide variety of water distribution infrastructure needs. EEC is equipped to collect samples, facilitate maintenance activity scheduling, assist with routine monitoring and reporting, and develop critical procedures and protocols. Recently, EEC assisted the City in the planning for the Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project and in preparing a Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking a qualified AMI Consultant to provide professional services for detailed planning and assistance in the selection and implementation of an AMI system. These efforts led to the selection of a highly qualified contractor being selected to assist the City in developing detailed strategies, design, and plans for AMI implementation. EEC assisted the City during all preliminary phases of the AMI project from the preparation of the first RFP and contractor selection and is currently supporting the final stages of contracting with the selected AMI and MDMS contractors. Once the agreement is finalized between the City and the selected AMI and MDMS contractors, and the execution of the work commences, EEC is prepared to continue providing support to the City Project Manager in all aspects of project and construction management, business process re -engineering, staffing considerations and all field activities. Furthermore, EEC has assisted in modernizing the City's 20-year masterplan with production of construction schedules using Microsoft Project, and regularly assists the Water Supervisor in meeting five-year goals for water pumping and construction management. EEC has also facilitated restructuring and digitization of 60 years' worth of historical documentation associated with the City's water system. As a result, EEC has an extensive understanding of the City's production well sites, reservoirs, Metropolitan Water District (MWD) connections, pressure regulating values, and lift stations. This level of understanding will ensure that EEC can continue to ramp up to speed quickly on as -assigned water distribution infrastructure tasks. The estimated level of effort for as -assigned water distribution infrastructure support services is projected at approximately 125-150 hours. Stormwater Compliance While the City's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program is not implemented and managed by the Water Resources Division, stormwater related issues can often impact the division where experience and knowledge of the MS4 permit is necessary. As example, EEC recently assisted in the evaluation of stormwater based legal authority and issues associated with homeless encampments near flood control channels. EEC also assists the City with responding to illegal discharges to the City's MS4 system from food service establishments and routinely follows -up on other FSE related stormwater issues (e.g., waste grease storage area housekeeping). EEC has also supported permit application and compliance associated with the Upper Newport Bay selenium TMDLs. This issue impacts the City's potable water discharges tributary to the Upper Newport Bay. As -assigned, EEC can continue to assist the City with the TMDL compliance related this new permit.
