(D-MAx) is pleased to submit this Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) to provide on -call project support services for National City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP). We are proposing to assist the City of National City (City) with the following disciplines listed in the RFQ: Environmental Planning, Design & Engineering, Environmental Compliance, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). D-MAx has worked with 20 agencies in San Diego, Orange, Imperial, and Riverside counties on storm water and wastewater projects, including the City of National City, since D-MAx was founded in 1996. As a result of our extensive project experience, we are very familiar with storm water and wastewater requirements and procedures both in National City and the San Diego region. We are also including Dudek and Greenpole Research, Inc., two local environmental consulting firms, on our team. Dudek will provide expertise for regulatory permitting, GIS, wastewater engineering, CEQA/NEPA, and hazardous materials services; and Greenpole Research Inc. will provide support for CEQA/NEPA and regulatory permitting services. Proven Record of Successful Program Support. City staff have trusted us to keep them up to date and in compliance with the ever -changing requirements of environmental regulations for two decades. D-MAx staff have provided updates on requirements to the City Council and represented the City in regulatory audits and permit negotiations. We have always been available to respond to unanticipated or emergency situations, and consistently complete required tasks on time even when a very short turnaround has been required. During this time, the City has established an excellent reputation with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board). Our staff have also built a strong rapport with City personnel and are very familiar with local policies and constraints. Local Knowledge and Experience. Over the last 20 years, D-MAx personnel developed in-depth knowledge of the City's development and construction requirements, local businesses, drainage patterns and design, biological resources, and areas of particular concern to members of the community. We helped bring $5.6 million in grant funding to the City for projects that will improve water quality through Low Impact Development (LID) and are consistent with the City's vision for more walkable, smart growth communities. We have also worked with the City and the National School District over the last several years to prepare an environmentally-themed calendar featuring artwork from local students. D-MAx also sponsored and coordinated creek cleanup events in National City for many years. These events have both improved the condition of local creeks and involved many members of the community. 7220 Trade Street • Suite 119 • San Diego, CA 92121 • (858) 586-6600 • Fax (858) 586-6644 Mr. Stephen Manganiello City of National City March 6, 2017 Page 2 wOM MP MN IMAMS - 7taAX Municipal Storm Water Program Expertise.

We coordinate the San Diego Bay Watershed group, in which National City is a member, and have completed watershed planning and reporting projects across the County. We have completed over 25,000 inspections of industrial, commercial, municipal, treatment control BMP, and construction sites; over 150 dry weather monitoring programs and additional special studies; and more than 35 program annual reports. Environmental Planning and Design Experience. D-MAx reviews all Water Quality Management Plans (SWQMP/WQTR) submitted to the City for compliance with the City's BMP Design Manual. Additionally we have assisted the City in reviewing grading and street improvement plans. We have provided LID design expertise and hydraulic/hydrologic modeling for City CIPs and grant -funded projects. We have prepared construction Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) for CIPs and helped City staff set up accounts for and enter data into the State's online reporting system. Our team member, Dudek, is widely -known across the San Diego region and throughout the State for its expertise in CEQA compliance, biological monitoring, and obtaining regulatory permits from resource agencies such as the Army Corps of Engineers and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Wastewater Compliance Experience. We rewrote the City's Sanitary Sewer Management Plan, revising standard procedures for sanitary sewer overflow response and reporting and training Public Works staff on the new procedures and forms. D-MAx also developed and implemented a Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) program for the City to comply with wastewater regulations. We worked with the City to identify areas of chronic FOG build-up and have worked with businesses to ensure they follow FOG requirements. Past Performance and Cost Effectiveness. As a team of professionals focused on providing environmental services, we adapt to our clients' needs and provide a level of flexibility that sets D-MAx apart. Our diverse group of professionals, close proximity to the City, and familiarity with the City allows us to respond to emergency requests quickly, reliably, and cost-effectively. As a small business, we maintain low overhead to provide our clients with highly qualified environmental professionals at affordable rates. For the last 20 years we have completed our projects for the City on time and within or under budget. We are very interested in this RFQ as it will allow us to continue to perform a variety of projects and to support the diverse community of National City. Because we have worked with the City for over 20 years we are very comfortable working with the City and staff, and we look forward to the opportunity to continue serving the City. We are confident that our familiarity with the City enables us to provide you with superior service at the best value. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this proposal in more detail, please feel free to contact me at (858) 586- 6600, extension 22. Sincerely, D-MAx Engineering, Inc. Arsalan Dadkhah, Ph.D., P.E., Principal Executive Summary D-MAx Engineering, Inc. (D-MAx) has provided environmental consulting services to 20 Southern California municipalities, including the City of National City, since 1996. Our main areas of expertise are storm water and wastewater regulations, and we are very familiar with storm water and wastewater requirements and procedures both in the City of National City and the San Diego region. We have also included Dudek, an Encinitas -based environmental planning and design company, on our team to provide regulatory permitting, GIS, wastewater engineering, CEQA/NEPA, and hazardous materials services. Greenpole Research, Inc., a woman -owned business enterprise (WBE) and a disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE), will also provide CEQA/NEPA and regulatory permitting support. The D-MAx team is proposing to assist the City in the following disciplines listed in the RFQ: Environmental Planning, Design & Engineering; Environmental Compliance; and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). D-MAx does not take any exceptions to the RFQ or the requirements stated within. It is our understanding that no addenda have been issued for the RFQ. Contact Information Arsalan Dadkhah, Ph.D., P.E., is the D-MAx contact person for this proposal. He can be reached at (858) 586-6600, extension 22, or via email at arsalanadmaxinc.com. The Contact Information section of this proposal provides contact information for our team members. Team Organization and Key Personnel Mr. John Quenzer will be our project manager. A Certified Professional in Storm Water Quality (CPSWQ) and Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD), he has served in this same role since 2006, and he has 13 years of experience working on projects for the City of National City. Dr. Arsalan Dadkhah, a licensed civil engineer with over 30 years of experience, including 20 years working with the City of National City, will be the Principal in Charge for this project. Other key D-MAx personnel include Jamie Richards, Tad Nakatani, Annika Kubischta, Brianna Martin, John Draminski, Manouchehr Dadkhah, and Alyssa Blackmon. Key Dudek personnel include Carey Fernandes, Nicole Peacock, Markus Lang, Vipul Joshi, Michael Metts, and Mark McGinnis. Nermin Nergis of Greenpole Research, Inc. will also be part of the team. The Team Organization and Key Personnel Section provides an organization chart and biographical information about key staff. Resumes are attached at the end of this proposal. Experience and Technical Competence The D-MAx team has extensive experience across all areas of the Environmental Planning, Design and Engineering; Environmental Compliance; and GIS disciplines. D-MAx has completed storm water, wastewater, and related GIS services for the City of National City and other jurisdictions in the San Diego region for many years. Dudek has completed many technically demanding CEQA/NEPA, biological permitting, hazardous materials, and GIS projects. Dudek also has completed wastewater engineering projects and has capacity to augment our team in this area as needed. Greenpole Research, Inc. has provided air quality and greenhouse gas emission analyses for the City of Indio and for the Port of San Diego. Greenpole also recently prepared comments for the City of National City on a greenhouse gas emissions analysis prepared as part of a Port of San Diego EIR. Our team has also been successful in obtaining grant funds for the City, including $2.5 million for the City's "A" Avenue Green Street LID retrofit project, $1.8 million for the Kimball Park LID and Paradise Creek Restoration project, $1.3 million for the Sweetwater River Park Bioretention SOQ for On -Call Project Support Services for National City's Capital Improvement Program Page 1 mit= A 4i 0.111101% SIAA project, and $250,285 for urban forestry management planning. We also supported Harris and Associates on the application for the Disadvantaged Community Involvement Program grant which resulted in $365,000 in grant funds to design water quality and flood control improvements in a portion of Paradise Creek. Additionally, Dudek provided biological construction monitoring and restoration implementation monitoring and crafted a consolidated restoration plan in support of the Kimball Park LID and Paradise Creek Restoration Project. Dudek also prepared a grant application for CAL FIRE's Urban Forest Management for Greenhouse Gas Reduction program which resulted in $250,000 in grant funds. We have worked closely with the City on project scopes, budgets, schedules, designs, reporting, and assessment. These grant projects have provided funding for projects that improve City assets, the environment, and the quality of life for City residents. The Experience and Technical Competence section provides more detail on our experience, including descriptions of selected highlighted projects. Methods Proposed to Accomplish Work Our goal is always to provide excellent service, communicate clearly and proactively, and impose minimal oversight and management burden on City staff. We recognize that City staff have many responsibilities and large workloads, and hiring a consultant should help decrease, rather than increase, these workloads. Our familiarity with the City, knowledge of local regulations, and relationships with regulatory agency staff allow us to provide efficient, high quality environmental support to the City. For routine projects, we will propose a scope of services based on what is needed to comply with relevant regulations, working out the details with City staff. These may include, for example, preparing SWPPPs or LID design for CIPs, preparing grant applications, reviewing storm water submittals for development projects, water quality monitoring studies, or preparing permitting documents for emergency channel maintenance. We will also always be available to respond to as -needed or emergency requests, such as promptly sending field staff to investigate reported spills or supporting the City during regulatory audits. Whenever we receive an as -needed request, we will work with the City to determine the required scope of services and associated budget, as well as the task manager and supporting team members. The Methods Proposed to Accomplish Work section of the main proposal provides additional details on our approach to the various areas of services within our selected RFQ disciplines. Financial Management and Accounting System Maintaining a modern, high quality financial management and accounting system is an important tool in providing good customer service. The systems used at D-MAx allow our project and task managers access to numerous reports on project billing and budget status on a near real-time basis. The project manager reviews status reports from the system and reviews the results with task managers at weekly project status meetings. Our financial management and accounting systems also meet the requirements of Title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 16.301-3, 18, and 31. More information about our systems is provided in the Financial Management and Accounting System section of the proposal. Conclusions Particularly in recent years, the City has completed or initiated many public projects to improve the quality of life for its residents, and several notable private projects have been completed as well. We are confident that our team's experience will enable us to support continued improvements by providing prompt, quality, cost-effective service in the areas of Environmental Planning, Engineering & Design; Environmental Compliance; and GIS. We have enjoyed working with the City of National City for two decades, and we would be honored to continue working with the City on this interesting project.

This insurance does not apply to "bodily injury" or "property damage" caused by "your work" and included in the "products - completed operations hazard" unless the "written contract requiring insurance" specifically requires you to provide such coverage for that additional insured, and then the insurance provided to the additional insured applies only to such "bodily injury" or "property damage" that occurs before the end of the period of time for which the "written contract requiring insurance" requires you to provide such coverage or the end of the policy period, whichever is earlier. 2. The following is added to Paragraph 4.a. of SECTION IV — COMMERCIAL GENERAL LABILITY CONDITIONS: The insurance provided to the additional insured is excess over any valid and collectible other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis, that is available to the additional insured for a loss we cover. However, if you specifically agree in the "written contract requiring insurance" that this insurance provided to the 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 available to the additional insured which covers that person or organizations as a named insured for such loss, and we will not share with the other insurance, provided that: (1) The "bodily injury" or "property damage" for Mich coverage is sought occurs; and (2) The "personal injury" for which coverage is sought arises out of an offense committed; after you have signed that "written contract requiring insurance". But this insurance provided to the additional insured still is excess over valid and collectible other insurance, whether primary, excess, contingent or on any other basis, that is available to the additional insured when that person or organization is an additional insured under any other insurance. © 2015 The Travelers Indemnity Company.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: N/A ORDINANCE: INTRODUCTION: FINAL ADOPTION: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution executing an Agreement with D-Max Engineering, Inc. for a not -to -exceed amount of $2,000,000 to provide on -call project support services for National City's CIP. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A ATTACHMENTS: 1. Explanation 2. Agreement 3. Resolution $ so\AmovA Explanation: National City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) estimates approximately $80 million in capital needs over the next five years. Approximately $67 million (or 84%) is available through traditional funding sources and existing grant awards. The City will need to explore alternative funding options and continue to aggressively pursue competitive grant opportunities to fund the remaining, approximately $13 million in capital needs. Projects include, for example, corridor enhancements for traffic calming, pedestrian / bicycle safety (including Americans with Disabilities Act compliance) and smart growth redevelopment; road diets and complete streets; safe routes to school; traffic signal modifications; new street lights; sewer replacement and upsizing; storm drain improvements and implementation of Low -Impact Development (LID) measures for treatment of urban storm water runoff; drought tolerant landscaping; park amenities; and energy efficiency upgrades to City -owned buildings. In order to successfully design, manage and construct these projects, the Engineering & Public Works Department advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for various engineering, architectural and construction support services on February 2, 2017. Additional services requested via the RFQ include, for example, plan and map reviews, preparation of plat and legal descriptions, sewer system management and financial administration, and environmental compliance involving storm water, wastewater and hazardous materials. The RFQ was advertised on the City's website, published in the San Diego Union Tribune, and e-mailed to over 100 professional consulting firms. The Department received 51 Statement of Qualifications (SOQs) from various firms by the March 6, 2017 deadline. Copies of the SOQs received are available in the Office of the City Engineer. Based on the strength of their SOQ, interview and past performance, staff recommends executing a two-year Agreement (with the option to extend for one additional year) with D-Max Engineering for a not -to -exceed amount of $2,000,000 to provide on -call project support services for National City's CIP, including, but not limited to, project management; engineering; environmental planning, compliance and assessments; construction support; plan reviews; community outreach and communications. See Exhibit "A" for general scope of work and Exhibit "B" for schedule of fees (to remain fixed throughout the term of the Agreement). Services will be provided "as -needed" based on available funding and capital priorities. In addition, staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to execute any project - specific supplemental agreements, as may be required for grant funded projects. These supplemental agreements would reference the terms and conditions of the attached master on -call Agreement, while incorporating additional project -specific grant requirements for use of consultant support services. Authorization to accept and appropriate grant funds, and execute grant agreements with the awarding agency (e.g. Caltrans, SANDAL, etc.) would still require separate City Council action.

(D-MAx) is pleased to submit this Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) to provide on -call project support services for National City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP). We are proposing to assist the City of National City (City) with the following disciplines listed in the RFQ: Environmental Planning, Design & Engineering, Environmental Compliance, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). D-MAx has worked with 20 agencies in San Diego, Orange, Imperial, and Riverside counties on storm water and wastewater projects, including the City of National City, since D-MAx was founded in 1996. As a result of our extensive project experience, we are very familiar with storm water and wastewater requirements and procedures both in National City and the San Diego region. We are also including Dudek and Greenpole Research, Inc., two local environmental consulting firms, on our team. Dudek will provide expertise for regulatory permitting, GIS, wastewater engineering, CEQA/NEPA, and hazardous materials services; and Greenpole Research Inc. will provide support for CEQA/NEPA and regulatory permitting services. Proven Record of Successful Program Support. City staff have trusted us to keep them up to date and in compliance with the ever -changing requirements of environmental regulations for two decades. D-MAx staff have provided updates on requirements to the City Council and represented the City in regulatory audits and permit negotiations. We have always been available to respond to unanticipated or emergency situations, and consistently complete required tasks on time even when a very short turnaround has been required. During this time, the City has established an excellent reputation with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board). Our staff have also built a strong rapport with City personnel and are very familiar with local policies and constraints. Local Knowledge and Experience. Over the last 20 years, D-MAx personnel developed in-depth knowledge of the City's development and construction requirements, local businesses, drainage patterns and design, biological resources, and areas of particular concern to members of the community. We helped bring $5.6 million in grant funding to the City for projects that will improve water quality through Low Impact Development (LID) and are consistent with the City's vision for more walkable, smart growth communities. We have also worked with the City and the National School District over the last several years to prepare an environmentally-themed calendar featuring artwork from local students. D-MAx also sponsored and coordinated creek cleanup events in National City for many years. These events have both improved the condition of local creeks and involved many members of the community. 7220 Trade Street • Suite 119 • San Diego, CA 92121 • (858) 586-6600 • Fax (858) 586-6644 -7- Mr. Stephen Manganiello City of National City March 6, 2017 Page 2 IIIIIP1111%. - - _,_ MN --- Me r, rr arc A v .r..os - 111.11114111. Municipal Storm Water Program Expertise. D-MAx is well-equipped to help the City navigate the demands of new, more stringent storm water requirements. D-MAx designed storm water program plans for 11 municipalities in San Diego County, including National City, and represented the City throughout the permit development process negotiations with the Regional Board. We coordinate the San Diego Bay Watershed group, in which National City is a member, and have completed watershed planning and reporting projects across the County. We have completed over 25,000 inspections of industrial, commercial, municipal, treatment control BMP, and construction sites; over 150 dry weather monitoring programs and additional special studies; and more than 35 program annual reports. Environmental Planning and Design Experience. D-MAx reviews all Water Quality Management Plans (SWQMP/WQTR) submitted to the City for compliance with the City's BMP Design Manual. Additionally we have assisted the City in reviewing grading and street improvement plans. We have provided LID design expertise and hydraulic/hydrologic modeling for City CIPs and grant -funded projects. We have prepared construction Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) for CIPs and helped City staff set up accounts for and enter data into the State's online reporting system. Our team member, Dudek, is widely -known across the San Diego region and throughout the State for its expertise in CEQA compliance, biological monitoring, and obtaining regulatory permits from resource agencies such as the Army Corps of Engineers and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Wastewater Compliance Experience. We rewrote the City's Sanitary Sewer Management Plan, revising standard procedures for sanitary sewer overflow response and reporting and training Public Works staff on the new procedures and forms. D-MAx also developed and implemented a Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) program for the City to comply with wastewater regulations. We worked with the City to identify areas of chronic FOG build-up and have worked with businesses to ensure they follow FOG requirements. Past Performance and Cost Effectiveness. As a team of professionals focused on providing environmental services, we adapt to our clients' needs and provide a level of flexibility that sets D-MAx apart. Our diverse group of professionals, close proximity to the City, and familiarity with the City allows us to respond to emergency requests quickly, reliably, and cost-effectively.

Experience and Technical Competence The D-MAx team has extensive experience across all areas of the Environmental Planning, Design and Engineering; Environmental Compliance; and GIS disciplines. D-MAx has completed storm water, wastewater, and related GIS services for the City of National City and other jurisdictions in the San Diego region for many years. Dudek has completed many technically demanding CEQA/NEPA, biological permitting, hazardous materials, and GIS projects. Dudek also has completed wastewater engineering projects and has capacity to augment our team in this area as needed. Greenpole Research, Inc. has provided air quality and greenhouse gas emission analyses for the City of Indio and for the Port of San Diego. Greenpole also recently prepared comments for the City of National City on a greenhouse gas emissions analysis prepared as part of a Port of San Diego EIR. Our team has also been successful in obtaining grant funds for the City, including $2.5 million for the City's "A" Avenue Green Street LID retrofit project, $1.8 million for the Kimball Park LID and Paradise Creek Restoration project, $1.3 million for the Sweetwater River Park Bioretention SOQ for On -Call Project Support Services for National City's Capital Improvement Program Page 1 -9- 1111111.111116.- ! i 11MUM i RR _AI_ ! !WI® - l/ i- AV fir- - riebL7111. project, and $250,285 for urban forestry management planning. We also supported Harris and Associates on the application for the Disadvantaged Community Involvement Program grant which resulted in $365,000 in grant funds to design water quality and flood control improvements in a portion of Paradise Creek. Additionally, Dudek provided biological construction monitoring and restoration implementation monitoring and crafted a consolidated restoration plan in support of the Kimball Park LID and Paradise Creek Restoration Project. Dudek also prepared a grant application for CAL FIRE's Urban Forest Management for Greenhouse Gas Reduction program which resulted in $250,000 in grant funds. We have worked closely with the City on project scopes, budgets, schedules, designs, reporting, and assessment. These grant projects have provided funding for projects that improve City assets, the environment, and the quality of life for City residents. The Experience and Technical Competence section provides more detail on our experience, including descriptions of selected highlighted projects. Methods Proposed to Accomplish Work Our goal is always to provide excellent service, communicate clearly and proactively, and impose minimal oversight and management burden on City staff. We recognize that City staff have many responsibilities and large workloads, and hiring a consultant should help decrease, rather than increase, these workloads. Our familiarity with the City, knowledge of local regulations, and relationships with regulatory agency staff allow us to provide efficient, high quality environmental support to the City. For routine projects, we will propose a scope of services based on what is needed to comply with relevant regulations, working out the details with City staff. These may include, for example, preparing SWPPPs or LID design for CIPs, preparing grant applications, reviewing storm water submittals for development projects, water quality monitoring studies, or preparing permitting documents for emergency channel maintenance. We will also always be available to respond to as -needed or emergency requests, such as promptly sending field staff to investigate reported spills or supporting the City during regulatory audits. Whenever we receive an as -needed request, we will work with the City to determine the required scope of services and associated budget, as well as the task manager and supporting team members. The Methods Proposed to Accomplish Work section of the main proposal provides additional details on our approach to the various areas of services within our selected RFQ disciplines. Financial Management and Accounting System Maintaining a modern, high quality financial management and accounting system is an important tool in providing good customer service. The systems used at D-MAx allow our project and task managers access to numerous reports on project billing and budget status on a near real-time basis. The project manager reviews status reports from the system and reviews the results with task managers at weekly project status meetings. Our financial management and accounting systems also meet the requirements of Title 48 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 16.301-3, 18, and 31. More information about our systems is provided in the Financial Management and Accounting System section of the proposal. Conclusions Particularly in recent years, the City has completed or initiated many public projects to improve the quality of life for its residents, and several notable private projects have been completed as well. We are confident that our team's experience will enable us to support continued improvements by providing prompt, quality, cost-effective service in the areas of Environmental Planning, Engineering & Design; Environmental Compliance; and GIS. We have enjoyed working with the City of National City for two decades, and we would be honored to continue working with the City on this interesting project.
