RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute a one year agreement with the option
to extend for a second one year term at the same contract amount with
Environmental Engineering and Contracting, Inc. for management of the
City's sewer system fats, oils, and grease control program for an annual
not to exceed amount of $182,000.
DISCUSSION
In October 2004, the City adopted an ordinance amending Chapter 39 of the
Santa Ana Municipal Code to control the discharge of fats, oils and
grease (FOG) from food service establishments to the City's sewer
collection system. In January 2005, the City's Public Works Agency began
implementation of a comprehensive FOG control program. The new FOG
control program includes regular inspections of all food service
establishments to insure compliance with the ordinance. The FOG
ordinance and program are required by the California Regional Water
Quality Control Board.
The City entered an agreement with Environmental Engineering and
Contracting, Inc. (EEC) in August, 2003 to perform a FOG study of the
sewer collection system and assist with development of the FOG ordinance
and control program. EEC completed these tasks and has been assisting
with implementation of the FOG control program. EEC has inspected all of
the food service establishments at least once and has created a database
for continued inspection program tracking.

EEC, Inc. has provided excellent service to the City in creating and
implementing the FOG control program. They have extensive experience
both as a firm and at the staff level in developing and operating similar
programs throughout Orange County. Their fees are reasonable and all of
the services are provided on an as-needed basis. This will enable the
City to save money as more of the work load is performed by City staff.
It is recommended that EEC, Inc. be retained to provide FOG control
program management services for a one-year period with the option to
extend for a second one-year period for a not-to-exceed amount of
$182,000 per year.
