Compliance with this NPDES permit and the Federal Clean <br />Water Act requires the cleaning of all City -owned drainage facilities and the mitigation of all <br />discharges of pollutants (spills) that could lead to the waters of the United States. <br />On October 17, 2011, the City Council authorized the Public Works Agency to release a Request <br />for Proposals to qualified consulting firms to provide on -call services to comply with the <br />requirements of the NPDES permit. The above services were advertised on the City's website <br />and qualified firms were contacted. Five firms submitted proposals and the proposals were <br />evaluated by the Public Works Agency. Each firm was evaluated based on qualifications of the <br />firm, staffing and project organization, work plan, and cost and price (contractor personnel). <br />American Integrated Services, Inc. was disqualified because it failed to submit a proposal deposit. <br />Following is the list of the responsive firms and their respective scores- <br />25D-1 <br />
