Scope of Services and Schedule <br />Work Approach <br />Our proposed work plan is described in the section below. Our approach is based on years of experience completing <br />this same type of work and developing efficiencies/knowledge needed to meet the MS4 Permit requirement and <br />subsequent deadlines while providing business -friendly support to the City. <br />Subtask No. 1— Commercial/Industrial Facility Database Maintenance and Management <br />Our project team will manage the City's industrial/commercial database in accordance with the specific requirements <br />outlined in Orange County's MS4 permit and will meet the record protection practices outlined in the 5th term draft <br />permit. Our team provides a seamless transition for this contract, based on our extensive experience with the City's <br />database for the past 10 years and additional experience wonting with similar Microsoft Access databases on behalf of <br />other cities. As part of our prior work with the City's database, we developed an automated reporting system to <br />reduce the time and effort needed to generate the documents required under the permit. We will continue to use this <br />system to provide status reports, generate the quarterly industrial notification reports as required in Permit <br />Section VI - Legal Authority/Enforcement, and provide numbers to be used in the City's PEA Report. The <br />anticipated schedule for submitting these reports is described within this section. <br />Amec Foster Wheeler will perform an annual update and reprioritize the inventory and quarterly updates to include <br />new businesses within the inventory. Through our prior work with the City's business license department and other <br />City business license departments, our project team has developed an efficient procedure to reprioritize the City's <br />inventory for the required businesses as specified in the County's MS4 Permit Sections IX and X using the City's <br />Business Classification Code (BCC). In the event the City switches from the City's BCC, our project team can quickly <br />adapt our procedures to reprioritize the inventory based on Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) or North <br />American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes. With the extensive experience providing these services to <br />the City, we are knowledgeable of the common pitfalls that may occur during this process, which may inadvertently <br />result in the addition of hundreds of businesses in the inventory. Our prioritization procedures include the removal <br />of businesses with duplicate business licenses, businesses with multiple business licenses, home-based businesses, <br />businesses with the incorrect BCC code, and businesses that should not be included based on our past inspections. <br />Our team also has extensive experience with using other online sources required for the inventory prioritization <br />process including SWRCB's Storm Water Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS) and Toxic <br />Release Inventory (TRI). The data tables downloaded from these online sources are compared using unique <br />identification numbers and critical data are imported, as necessary. <br />This task also includes periodic meetings and phone calls to provide the City with updates on inspections, discuss <br />enforcement issues, and to provide program recommendations. Our project team will also provide one annual kickoff <br />meeting to be held at the City office for training documentation purposes. Project management hours for the review <br />and submittal of monthly summary status reports with monthly invoices is also included in this task. <br />Subtask No. 2: Facility Inspections, Inventory Management, and Enforcement Notification <br />Our project team will conduct field inspections of commercial and industrial facilities to assess compliance with local <br />water quality regulations and appropriate BMPs. As identified in the RFP, we have assumed 910 inspections per year <br />will be required including follow-up inspections. Over the last t0 years, we have demonstrated that our project team <br />can meet the inspection requirements using professional staff who are knowledgeable of permit requirements, are <br />thoroughly familiar with the City inspection forms and use of the database, and have gone through our extensive <br />training program before perfonning solo inspections. Our training program is based on the County's core <br />competency program. Amec Foster Wheeler assisted in the development of this training program and we have also <br />developed training programs on behalf of other cities. <br />Commercial/Industrial Inspection and Database Management Consultant Services amecfw.com Page 10 of 13 <br />
