Scope of Services and Schedule Work Approach Our proposed work plan is described in the section below. Our approach is based on years of experience completing this same type of work and developing efficiencies/knowledge needed to meet the MS4 Permit requirement and subsequent deadlines while providing business -friendly support to the City. Subtask No. 1— Commercial/Industrial Facility Database Maintenance and Management Our project team will manage the City's industrial/commercial database in accordance with the specific requirements outlined in Orange County's MS4 permit and will meet the record protection practices outlined in the 5th term draft permit. Our team provides a seamless transition for this contract, based on our extensive experience with the City's database for the past 10 years and additional experience wonting with similar Microsoft Access databases on behalf of other cities. As part of our prior work with the City's database, we developed an automated reporting system to reduce the time and effort needed to generate the documents required under the permit. We will continue to use this system to provide status reports, generate the quarterly industrial notification reports as required in Permit Section VI - Legal Authority/Enforcement, and provide numbers to be used in the City's PEA Report. The anticipated schedule for submitting these reports is described within this section. Amec Foster Wheeler will perform an annual update and reprioritize the inventory and quarterly updates to include new businesses within the inventory. Through our prior work with the City's business license department and other City business license departments, our project team has developed an efficient procedure to reprioritize the City's inventory for the required businesses as specified in the County's MS4 Permit Sections IX and X using the City's Business Classification Code (BCC). In the event the City switches from the City's BCC, our project team can quickly adapt our procedures to reprioritize the inventory based on Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) or North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes. With the extensive experience providing these services to the City, we are knowledgeable of the common pitfalls that may occur during this process, which may inadvertently result in the addition of hundreds of businesses in the inventory. Our prioritization procedures include the removal of businesses with duplicate business licenses, businesses with multiple business licenses, home-based businesses, businesses with the incorrect BCC code, and businesses that should not be included based on our past inspections. Our team also has extensive experience with using other online sources required for the inventory prioritization process including SWRCB's Storm Water Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS) and Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). The data tables downloaded from these online sources are compared using unique identification numbers and critical data are imported, as necessary. This task also includes periodic meetings and phone calls to provide the City with updates on inspections, discuss enforcement issues, and to provide program recommendations. Our project team will also provide one annual kickoff meeting to be held at the City office for training documentation purposes. Project management hours for the review and submittal of monthly summary status reports with monthly invoices is also included in this task. Subtask No. 2: Facility Inspections, Inventory Management, and Enforcement Notification Our project team will conduct field inspections of commercial and industrial facilities to assess compliance with local water quality regulations and appropriate BMPs. As identified in the RFP, we have assumed 910 inspections per year will be required including follow-up inspections. Over the last t0 years, we have demonstrated that our project team can meet the inspection requirements using professional staff who are knowledgeable of permit requirements, are thoroughly familiar with the City inspection forms and use of the database, and have gone through our extensive training program before perfonning solo inspections. Our training program is based on the County's core competency program. Amec Foster Wheeler assisted in the development of this training program and we have also developed training programs on behalf of other cities.
