The following is a list of tasks anticipated to be necessary during the fiscal year. However, there may be unanticipated tasks that are necessary to complete but are not addressed herein. The tasks will be conducted in an order of priority as set by the City. Project Coordination. Provide all project coordination necessary to perform the work for the City's NPDES program implementation. Project coordination will include monthly project status meetings with the City of National City and other related agencies for the duration of this contract. Also included in the program coordination are • Management of the program kick-off meeting and all necessary meetings with other concerned and involved agencies and community groups. • Management of all project -related meetings, including agenda and meeting minute preparation and distributions. • Assisting the City with coordination and correspondence with the RWQCB regarding National City's storm water program. Data Management and GIS. To facilitate annual reporting and to manage various JURMP programs on a day-to-day basis, data must be tracked and stored in a reliable, easy -to -use manner. This includes data from the City's construction, industrial, commercial, development, and municipal programs. D-MAx has created four separate Microsoft Access databases for the City: one each for construction inspections, industrial/commercial inspections, standard urban storm water mitigation plan (SUSMP) post -construction best management practice (BMP) tracking and inspections, and a variety of municipal activities. The City's SUSMP database should be updated to include the capacity to enter results from inspections and from maintenance verification letters sent out, and the linkage between inspection databases and the complaint database should be improved. D-MAx will also assist the City in designing solutions for relating the data from various databases, including the use of geographic information systems (GIS). Additional tracking capabilities for the City's education program may be added as well, and a database to record and manage information from the City's water quality monitoring programs may be developed. Now that newly modified programs based on the City's recently updated JURMP have been implemented, updates to the City's databases will likely be necessary. D-MAx will regularly provide the City with copies of the databases it maintains. In addition to database management, D-MAx will also assist the City in analyzing business license listings to determine JURMP prioritizations for new industrial and commercial businesses in the City. Those businesses will then be flagged for inspection in accordance with the procedure listed in the JURMP. We will further assist the City in 1 ��s s N —sue sa M =RM. = N am■--*v Mmogna w mb!"sA designing and implementing revised procedures for prioritizing facilities in the City, in accordance with new Municipal Permit guidelines for facility prioritization. Assist in Compliance Inspection Program. We will assist the City's compliance inspection team with the following services: • Conducting construction field inspections • Conducting industrial and commercial field inspections • Conducting SUSMP post -construction BMP inspections • Conducting follow-up, complaint, or other special inspections • Data entry into databases for these inspections SUSMP Implementation and Document Preparation. We will continue to assist the City with implementation of the Standard Urban Storm Water Mitigation Plan (SUSMP) program as follows. This task also includes assisting the City in implementing tasks related to the new Hydromodification Management Plan (HMP) that is currently under development by the Copermittees and assisting the City with the new advanced treatment standards for construction projects. Note that review of SUSMP and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) documents are included under a different contract. • Assist with required revisions to the City's SUSMP Ordinance and related ordinances, including developing a SUSMP manual per the new Municipal Permit requirements • Assist in complying with requirements of the SUSMP • Conduct coordination meetings with various City departments and assist in refinement of the SUSMP process • Review erosion and sediment control plans • Assist in selecting and implementing BMPs • Conduct educational presentations as required in the City's JURMP and Section D.5.b.(b) of the new Municipal Permit • Prepare SUSMPs and construction storm water pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) for City Capital Improvement Projects Dry Weather Field Screening and Analytical Monitoring. This task will include conducting one round of field screening in accordance with the requirements of the RWQCB Municipal Permit. The objective of this program is to detect and eliminate illicit connections and illegal discharges (IC/IDs) in order to minimize the negative impacts of human activities on receiving water bodies. The City of National City has identified 15 primary monitoring stations where data will be collected during the dry weather analytical and field screening monitoring program. This task will include the following: Visual Observations: Visual observations include looking for evidence of dry weather flows such as staining, corrosion, sediment, surrounding vegetation, algae, mosquito larvae, insects, and animals in the vicinity of the outfall. . 2 wIMMI a 111 Mil 1=1111111= a M—a NM AM■ —a IIv iMINOPPla w Mb!'fA Field Analysis: At each site the flow and its temperature will be measured, and a sample will be taken for field analyses of the following parameters: • Specific conductance • Temperature • Turbidity • pH • Reactive Phosphorus • Nitrate Nitrogen • Ammonia Nitrogen • Surfactants (MBAS) Analytical Monitoring: Water samples from 25 percent of the sites where ponded or flowing water is observed, will be collected and submitted to a California Department of Health Services certified laboratory for analysis of the following constituents: • Total hardness • Oil and grease • Diazinon and Chlorpyrifos • Cadmium (Dissolved) • Copper (Dissolved) • Lead (Dissolved) • Zinc (Dissolved) • Enterococcus bacteria • Total Coliform bacteria • Fecal Coliform bacteria Trash Monitoring: The new Municipal Permit requires that the City implement a trash monitoring program during dry weather monitoring. The Copermittee Dry Weather Monitoring Sub-Workgroup developed a trash assessment form and procedures for trash monitoring. We will complete a trash assessment form at each routine site visit. Preparation of a Summary Report: At the conclusion of the field screening program, a report will be prepared to summarize the observations and the results of the study, including trash monitoring. The report will include our interpretation of the field data and test results as to the possible presence of IC/IDs. Follow -Up Investigations. During the dry weather field screening program if field investigations do not reveal a specific source of contamination, or if the results of the laboratory analysis indicate presence of pollutants in excess of action levels, further investigation will be conducted which may include the following steps: • Tracing flows or discharges upstream • Conducting field screening sampling 3 w- — v — A■ —MIwv MNImPna dMtsA% • Contacting dischargers • Sampling for laboratory analysis • Documenting source investigations At the conclusion of the follow-up investigations, a summary report will be prepared summarizing the findings, conclusions and recommendations. Per new Municipal Permit requirements, all laboratory analytical exceedances will be followed up within two business days of receiving the results from the lab. This is a more aggressive timeframe than previously required. Also, upstream investigations for bacteria will utilize Colilert and Enterolert methods for bacterial analyses. These newer methods are more accurate than the methods used in the past. Additional Monitoring and Special Studies. The new Municipal Permit requires that the City conduct MS4 monitoring and source identification monitoring programs. The MS4 monitoring will likely be conducted concurrently with the dry weather monitoring program and will include additional laboratory analytical work. Additional monitoring studies may also be necessary for source investigation purposes. In some portions of the City exceedances have been noted for several consecutive years in the dry weather monitoring program, and it may be necessary to perform additional monitoring beyond the typical dry weather follow-up investigations to evaluate the effectiveness of measures taken to address the sources of the exceedances. The new Municipal Permit also includes stricter requirements for effectiveness assessment, including outcome levels 4, 5, and 6 (load reduction, change in quality of discharge, and change in receiving water quality). Additional monitoring may be required to evaluate the effectiveness of City activities in accordance with these requirements. Document Revisions for New Permit Requirements. The new Municipal Permit required revisions to the City's JURMP, which were completed in 2007-2008. During 2008-2009, no major revisions to the JURMP are anticipated, but several changes in response to new Municipal Permit requirements are anticipated. A new Model SUSMP was recently prepared, and we will assist the City with making required revisions to the SUSMP Ordinance and related City codes. Further, we anticipate that documents related to the new MS4 monitoring and source identification monitoring programs required by the new Municipal Permit will need to be prepared. Permits to allow the City to resume channel maintenance activities will also likely need to be acquired. That process is anticipated to involve coordinating with the RWQCB, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the California Department of Fish and Game. Training and Education. D-MAx will conduct educational workshops and/or prepare education materials at the City's request to target audiences identified in the JURMP document. An educational calendar has been prepared in each of the last several years, and another calendar incorporating artwork from school children in the City is planned for 2009. Educational content for other programs may cover a variety of topics related to storm water quality and watershed concepts listed in the JURMP and be tailored to each specific audience. Suggested workshops and target audiences include the topics listed on the following page: 4 w- 'IMIIIII B-- MN .=■ IN, M AO MIIMordlb w dlEbl"sA Planning and Engineering Departments The goal of this workshop will be to inform the Planning and Engineering Departments of general concepts listed in the JURMP and to address new Permit requirements relevant to each department. The Permit requires changes in land -use planning and engineering aspects of new development and redevelopment projects within the City, including the implementation of the City's SUSMP. Among the new requirements is the implementation of Low Impact Development (LID) measures for all development projects. Public Works Staff The workshop will be targeted towards public works employees and will focus mainly on the practical aspects of BMP implementation. It will also address changes in public works operations required by the Municipal Permit, such as effects on channel maintenance and storm drain cleanout frequency. In the event that the City's NPDES Storm Water Compliance Inspector conducts this training, D-Max will not provide a training for this audience. Construction Inspectors The educational workshop for construction inspectors will include general concepts listed in the JURMP and additionally cover such topics as BMP implementation and maintenance, good housekeeping measures, site inspections and inspection frequency. School Students We will assist the City in providing training workshops for school students. The topics for these workshops include the source of pollutants, the impact of pollutants on the receiving water bodies and BMPs to prevent the pollutions. Workshops At the request of the City, we will provide targeted educational workshops for various industry or stakeholder groups. D-MAx has recently conducted workshops for industrial businesses, automotive businesses, the development and construction industry, and City residents. Educational Materials We will assist the City in developing educational materials such as pamphlets, calendars, articles for newsletter or websites, or fact sheets. These materials may to be targeted at the development community, City residents, industrial and commercial businesses, City staff, or other audiences. The new Municipal Permit requires additional education related to watershed concepts and watershed pollutants of concern. Watershed Urban Runoff Management Program. The City of National City is located within the San Diego Bay Watershed. The Municipal Permit requires each Copermittee to collaborate with other Copermittees within its watershed to identify and mitigate the highest priority water quality issues/pollutants in the watershed. D-MAx will coordinate with the watershed Copermittees on behalf of the City of National City and fulfill the group requirements per the City instructions. In each of the last three years, we have assisted the City by helping write the San Diego Bay WURMP Annual 5 w- s M -- a Mil NMI MI _-I_- �• IIIII A!A Reports, and the City has been listed as among the primary authors of those annual reports. The RWQCB has recently completed an evaluation of various WURMP programs in the San Diego region, including the San Diego Bay WURMP. A report with findings and more specific direction for future watershed activities is anticipated in the fall of 2008. It is expected that some additional activities and modification of existing activities will be required by the RWQCB's report. Representing the City in Various Meetings. D-MAx will represent the City of National City in various meetings including those with other Copermittees, the Regional Board, and/or Regional Workgroups. The City has taken on the responsibility of serving as the secretary for the Municipal Workgroup, and we will assist the City in fulfilling that responsibility. Other Storm Water Services. It has been our experience with other local municipalities and with the City of National City that storm water related situations arise from time to time that require immediate or expert action. For example, additional services related to the Paleta Creek/7t Street Channel TMDL, which is currently under development, may be required. D-MAx will be pleased to provide any other as -needed, on -call services to the City of National City that have not been identified above. 6 EXHIBIT B COST SUMMARY & FEE SCHEDULE We propose to complete the aforementioned services on a time and materials basis (not to exceed $200,000 total) in accordance with the attached schedule of fees.

BLANKET ADDITIONAL INSURED (ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS AND SURVEYORS) This endorsement modifies insurance provided under the following: COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY COVERAGE FORM 1. WHO IS AN INSURED (Section II) is amended to include any person or organization that you agree in a "contract or agreement requiring insurance" to include as an additional insured on this Coverage Part , but: a. Only with respect to liability for "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal injury"; and b. if the injury or damage arises out of the performance, by you or your subcontractor, of "your work" to which the "contract or agreement requiring insurance" applies. Such person or organization does not qualify as an additional insured with respect to their independent acts or for "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal injury" for which that person or organization has assumed liability in a contract or agreement. 2. The insurance provided to the additional insured by this endorsement is limited as follows: a. This insurance does not apply on any basis to any person or organization for which coverage as an additional insured specifically is added by another endorsement to this Coverage Part. CG D3 81 09 06 b. This insurance does not apply to the rendering of or failure to render any "professional services". c. The limits of insurance afforded to the additional insured shall be the limits which you agreed to provide in that "contract or agreement requiring insurance", or the limits shown in the Declarations for this Coverage Part, whichever are less. This endorsement does not increase the limits of insurance stated in the LIMITS OF INSURANCE (Section III) for this Coverage Part. 3. The following is added to Paragraph a. of 4. Other Insurance in COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY CONDITIONS (Section IV): However, if you specifically agree in a "contract or agreement requiring insurance" that the insurance provided to an additional insured under this Coverage Part must apply on a primary basis, or a primary and non- contributory basis, this insurance is primary to other insurance that is available to such additional insured which covers such additional insured as a named insured, and we will not share with the other insurance, provided that: Includes copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission. Page 1 of 2 Copyright, Insurance Services Office, Inc., 2001 (1) The "bodily injury" or "property damage" for which coverage is sought occurs; and (2) The "personal injury" for which coverage is sought arises out of an offense committed; after you have entered into that "contract or agreement requiring insurance". But this insurance still is excess over valid and collectible other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis, that is available to the insured when the insured is an additional insured under any other insurance. 4. The following is added to Paragraph 8. Transfer Of Rights Of Recovery Against Others To Us in COMMERCIAL GENERAL LIABILITY CONDITIONS (Section IV): We waive any rights of recovery we may have against any person or organization because of payments we make for "bodily injury", "property damage" or "personal injury" arising out of "your work" performed by you, or on your behalf, under a "contract or agreement requiring insurance" with that person or organization. We waive these rights only where you have agreed to do so as part of the "contract or agreement requiring insurance" with such person or organization entered into by you before, and in effect when, the "bodily injury" or "property damage" occurs, or the "personal injury" offense is committed. 5. As respects the insurance provided to the additional insured by this endorsement, the following definition is added to DEFINITIONS (Section V): "contract or agreement requiring insurance" means that part of any contract or agreement under which you are required to include a person or organization as an additional insured on this Coverage Part, provided that the "bodily injury" and "property damage" occurs, and the "personal injury" is caused by an offense committed: a. After you have entered into that contract or agreement; b. While that part of the contract or agreement is in effect; and c. Before the end of the policy period. All other terms of your policy remain the same. CG D3 81 09 06 Includes copyrighted material of Insurance Services Office, Inc., with its permission.
