Authorize the Public Works Agency to send a Request for Proposals to qualified consulting firms
to provide on-call services for support of the NPDES Stormwater Program.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (SARWQCB) under the Federal Water
Quality Act has adopted the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for storm
water management. The NPDES controls direct discharges into navigable waters. Direct
discharges or "point source" discharges are from sources such as pipes and sewers. Each City
within the SARWQCB boundaries must comply with the NPDES regulations. In order to meet
them, staff will need additional support and technical resources.
Support will be required in the following areas to address the City's Local Implementation Plan:
• Program Management
• Municipal Activities
• New Development/Significant Redevelopment
• Construction
• Existing Development
Staff is requesting City Council approval to issue four separate Requests for Proposals to cover
the program areas listed above to qualified consulting firms, soliciting proposals to provide the
required services (Exhibit 1).
