DISCUSSION Authorized by the Federal Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program was established in 1972 to ensure that unlawful pollutant discharges do not enter the Nation's waterways. In California, this program is collectively regulated by the State Water Resources Control Board and the nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards. The City of Santa Ana, along with many other Orange County cities, is a co-permittee under the County of Orange NPDES permit (Order 118-2009-0030 - NPDES No. CAS618030). As a co- permittee, one of the requirements is to inspect commercial and industrial facilities and their operations within the City's jurisdiction for potential discharges of pollutants into the storm drain system. Approval of this recommended action will allow the City to perform these inspection and database management services in compliance with the NPDES permit requirements. On March 5, 2018, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Commercial/Industrial Inspection and Database Management Consultant Services, and posted the advertisement on the City's website. On March 30, 2016, eight environmental consulting firms submitted proposals. Each proposal was evaluated and ranked by a review committee comprised of personnel from 25F-1
