Scope of Services and Schedule history supporting this task for multiple clients including the City demonstrates there will be no "learning curve" related to this task. Full Capture System Recommendations and Regional Projects Our staff have assisted with trash capture feasibility studies and review of structural BMPs, including the review of regional BMPs, to assess if they are or could be retrofitted as certified FCS. As an example, we completed a feasibility study on the Chantilly Storm Drain System for the City of Anaheim and continue to assist the City of Irvine with the review of 42 natural treatment system basins. Our team has worked with stakeholders including the cities, OCWD, Irvine Ranch Water District, and Caltrans on FCS projects. As the City moves forward with regional BMPs, our staff can assist FCS certification for additional credit or in the event additional trash needs to be captured. WSP's team has extensive knowledge of structural BMPs based on our engineering team's review and team of inspection staff who verify structural treatment controls. Through our experience, we can often provide simple, cost-effective solutions to retrofit BMPs to meet compliance requirements. Trash Provisions Deliverables WSP has been assisting southern California municipalities with storm water -related MS4 permit reporting and record keeping since 2003. In this capacity, our Orange County municipal clients have included the cities of Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Anaheim, Laguna Niguel, and San Juan Capistrano, as well as John Wayne Airport. We understand that a large component of municipal NDPES program implementation revolves around accurate and thorough record keeping, which is the foundation of good reporting. The Santa Ana MS4 permits require annual reporting on all LIP components, including legal authority, illicit discharge detection and elimination, land development planning, construction management, existing development, and public education. The San Diego MS4 permit requires additional reporting on jurisdictional strategies to address WQIP identified High Priority Water Quality Conditions. Our approach for this task will focus on consideration of reporting and record keeping as part of all NPDES program tasks. We will work closely with City staff to review existing program methods and propose new methods for tracking and reporting, if needed, to better streamline the reporting process. Over the past three years, Orange County Public Works has been encouraging cities to on -board to OC Storm Water Tools, a new web -based countywide storm water BMP inventory, planning, and water quality model tool. The web -based platform provides a uniform storm water asset management database linked to spatial drainage data and a pollution load reduction model to quantify water quality benefits. The tool is envisioned to encapsulate and eventually fulfil MS4 permit reporting requirements replacing the current cumbersome reporting methods. It is our understanding that the City currently has a backlog of entries to OC Storm Water Tools, which involve making field visits to City -owned and privately -owned storm water treatment devices to verify status and O&M issues, researching existing WQMPs and grading plans, and entering the data into the system. WSP is currently assisting several clients with this process (San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Niguel, and Anaheim) and is familiar with the challenges that on -boarding may present and the software quirks of the still evolving OC Storm Water Tools. Areas of expected support in Reporting and Record Keeping include: P. Manage and update inventories to track inspections of municipal facilities, commercial facilities, industrial facilities, WQMP projects, post -construction BMP maintenance and verification, and construction site inspections P. Prepare and submit the City's Santa Ana MS4 permit quarterly reports for NPDES permit facilities ► Acquire, compile, and submit annual report data to Orange County Public Works for use in development of Copermittee unified report ► Prepare NPDES MS4 Annual Reports for the Santa Ana and San Diego RWQCBs City of Santa Ana I Industrial/Commercial Inspection and NPDES Program Support Services I Page 127 RFP No. 23-028
