similar service to be performed for other employers while under contract with CITY.
CONSULTANT is not an agent or employee of CITY and is not entitled to participate in
any pension plan, insurance, bonus or similar benefits CITY provides for its employees.
Any provision in this Agreement that may appear to give CITY the right to direct

results of the work only.
21. AUDIT OF RECORDS. CONSULTANT will maintain full and accurate records with

A. Before commencing performance under this Agreement, and at all other
times this Agreement is effective, CONSULTANT will procure and
maintain the following types of insurance with coverage limits complying,
at a minimum, with the limits set forth below:
Type of Insurance
Commercial general liability:
Professional Liability
Business automobile liability
Workers compensation
Limits
$2, 000, 000
$1, 000, 000

Statutory requirement
B. Commercial general liability insurance will meet or exceed the

coverage. Liability policies will be endorsed to name CITY, its officials,
City of El Segundo Professional Services Page 6 of 11
Agreement No. 6254

and to state that such insurance will be deemed "primary" such that any
other insurance that may be carried by CITY will be excess thereto. Such
endorsement must be reflected on ISO Form No. CG 20 10 11 85 or 88, or
equivalent. Such insurance will be on an "occurrence," not a "claims
made," basis and will not be cancelable or subject to reduction except
upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to CITY.
C. Professional liability coverage will be on an "occurrence basis" if such
coverage is available, or on a "claims made" basis if not available. When
coverage is provided on a "claims made basis," CONSULTANT will
continue to renew the insurance for a period of three (3) years after this
Agreement expires or is terminated. Such insurance will have the same
coverage and limits as the policy that was in effect during the term of this
Agreement and will cover CONSULTANT for all claims made by CITY
arising out of any errors or omissions of CONSULTANT, or its officers,
employees or agents during the time this Agreement was in effect.
D. Automobile coverage will be written on ISO Business Auto Coverage Form
CA 00 01 06 92, including symbol 1 (Any Auto).
E. CONSULTANT will furnish to CITY duly authenticated Certificates of
Insurance evidencing maintenance of the insurance required under this
Agreement and such other evidence of insurance or copies of policies as
may be reasonably required by CITY from time to time. Insurance must
be placed with insurers with a current A.M. Best Company Rating
equivalent to at least a Rating of "A:VII."
F. Should CONSULTANT, for any reason, fail to obtain and maintain the
insurance required by this Agreement, CITY may obtain such coverage at
CONSULTANT's expense and deduct the cost of such insurance from
payments due to CONSULTANT under this Agreement or terminate
pursuant to Section 155.
23. USE OF SUBCONTRACTORS. CONSULTANT must obtain CITY's prior written
approval to use any consultants while performing any portion of this Agreement. Such
approval must approve of the proposed consultant and the terms of compensation.

status on the project, which will include a schedule update and a short narrative
description of progress during the past month for each major task, a description of the
work remaining and a description of the work to be done before the next schedule

January 10, 2022
Ms. Cheryl Ebert
City of El Segundo — Public Works
350 Main St.
El Segundo, California 90245
Subject: Proposal for Continued Pretreatment Program Management for the City of El Segundo
Dear Ms. Ebert:
Pursuant to your request, EEC Environmental (EEC) is pleased to present this proposal for the continued
development and management of the Industrial Pretreatment Program for the City of El Segundo (City).
This scope of work in this proposal is based on information from the current progress of the City's
program development, discussions with you regarding desired program development, as well as, EEC's
expertise in the development and implementation of industrial pretreatment programs.
This proposal covers the existing scope of work that EEC is currently assisting the City with, and the new
scope identified during the Pretreatment Program development process. The EEC team is thoroughly
familiar with the project scope of work. The proposal herein is designed to address all items in the scope
of work including program development, inspections, monitoring, permitting, reporting, coordinating
and administrative functions required to support the City.
PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1 Significant Industrial User and Non-FSE Industrial User Inspections
For the one (1) Industrial User (IU), the methodology that will be followed in performing the inspection
is similar to the methodology followed by the U.S. EPA as generally outlined in the U.S. EPA's Control
Authority Pretreatment Audit Checklist and Instructions document dated February 2010. Inspections will
include a visit of the facility, interviews with IU representatives and a review of records. The frequency
of the inspections will be in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 403.
As part of the inspections, EEC will review the established procedures and implemented Best
Management Practices (BMP), including internal inspection logs and reports. Based on the results of the
inspections or as requested by the City, EEC will investigate and respond to infractions and complaints.
In the event that inappropriate actions are observed, or evidence of past or present unauthorized
discharges is found, EEC will notify the City and will assist in determining whether or not an enforcement
order is required. In some situations, all that might be required is for EEC to coordinate with the City and
the facility to conduct a follow-up inspection to ensure that the facility is in compliance. After
conducting inspections, EEC will prepare a draft inspection report for the City's signature and issuance to
the industrial user.
Agreement No. 6254
EEC will also inspect all limited industrial users (LIU). EEC will follow similar inspections procedures as
the ones followed for the permitted IU, but will focus more on BMP implementation and employee
training aimed at preventing harmful discharges. If required, EEC will make recommendations to the City
regarding facilities requiring permits or simply additional monitoring including sampling.
Task 2 Permitted Industrial User Sampling
For all permitted IUs, EEC will coordinate annual sampling events in order to monitor the discharge from
each IU. Samples results will be compared with permit limits. Any exceedances will be promptly
reported to the City with recommendations for appropriate follow-up actions.
If required, periodic surveillance monitoring will be conducted as -needed in the sewer system to identify
sources of suspected unauthorized dumping of high strength or pollutant loading that violates the City's
existing wastewater discharge limitation. If a facility is suspected of illicitly discharging into the sewer
system, the matter would be discussed with the City and EEC would recommend the best strategy for
future surveillance monitoring.
Task 3 Annual Permit Preparation
For each IU requiring permitting, EEC will draft wastewater discharge permits for review by the City. EEC
will address comments and edits and will prepare final permits for signature and issuance by the City.
Activities associated with permitting include the collection of general information on the permittee and
verification of the manufacturing and other activities conducted at the facility (typically conducted
during facility inspections).
EEC will develop a Permit Basis Document (PBD) for each new IU and existing PBDs will be reviewed and
revised, if necessary. The PBD is considered the foundation for every wastewater discharge permit and
EEC will provide the level of expertise needed for the adequate identification of all applicable Federal
categorical industrial classifications and of their respective applicable requirements. Permitting activities
for dry cleaners, automotive cleaning facilities, maintenance facilities, and other commercial and light
industrial facility will follow the same level of scrutiny and verification.
Task 4 Reporting
EEC will assist the City in meeting its regulatory reporting including spill reporting, annual reporting,
annual inventory updating, and the Pretreatment Compliance Schedule (PCS) Summary report.
EEC will ensure that all reports are prepared promptly to allow sufficient time for review by the City,
addressing comments by EEC and timely submittal by the City. EEC is aware of the reporting schedule
including the February yearly due date to Los Angeles County, for the annual report, respectively. EEC
will also assist in the publishing of the list of SIUs in significant non-compliance. All required reports will
be provided to the City for review and final signatures and issuance once City's comments are received
and addressed by EEC.
Agreement No. 6254
Task 5 Pretreatment Program Audit Preparation
PG Environmental, on behalf of the EPA, conducts annual audit of the City of Los Angeles Pretreatment
Program. These audits typically include an in-depth look at two to three member agencies that are
contracted with City of Los Angeles. Based on the previous audit conducted by PG Environmental, it is
EEC's understanding that in 2020 the City of El Segundo could be subjected to the in-depth audit. To
prepare for this audit, EEC staff reviews the previous in-depth audits conducted by PG Environmental,
the current Pretreatment Program documents to ensure that all program requirements are met, and will
coordinate a site inspection of an industrial user if requested by PG Environmental.
Task 6 Industrial Waste Survey/Industrial Inventory
The existing industrial user listing developed by the City will be maintained and updated by EEC as new
IUs are identified and/or as new survey activities are conducted. EEC will utilize the tools available to
conduct surveys in order to identify new facilities. Examples of tools include business license
applications, changes in sewer service, new tenant improvements and field observations made during
inspections. EEC will submit, on behalf of the City, an updated list of its permitted IUs, which is derived
from the Master Industrial User Tracking List and shows deletions and additions keyed to a previously
submitted list. In addition to the typical business evaluated, EEC will also evaluate the local dental
facilities to determine if they should be permitted under the newly adopted EPA Dental Rules.
Task 7 Enforcement and Public Participation
EEC will review IU self -monitoring reports and will assist the City with all enforcement actions including
verbal and/or written warnings and civil and/or criminal enforcement actions.
In addition, EEC will assist the City in the tracking progress toward compliance once enforcement has
been initiated. EEC will document, in the City database, all communication and will track all actions,
including all verbal or written extensions granted to the IUs, in accordance with the Enforcement
Response Plan (ERP).
Task 8 Sewer Use Ordinance Updates
Based on the recent update to the City of Los Angeles Sewer Use Ordinance, EEC will update the City of
El Segundo ordinance to align with the requirements of the City of Los Angeles. EEC will also incorporate
the necessary changes to comply with the recommendations provided by PG Environmental during the
recent Pretreatment Program Audit.
Task 9 Enforcement Response Plan Development
EEC will review and update the current Enforcement Response Plan (ERP) (if available). If an ERP is not
available for review, EEC will develop a new ERP. The ERP will be based on the existing procedures for
evaluating and acting upon IU non-compliance that are dictated by the EPA Model Ordinance. EEC will
provide a complete re -write of the ERP including staff responsibilities and notification procedures.
Agreement No. 6254
ESTIMATED COST
Assumptions
1. Projected cost estimates are for three years.
2. In addition to the SIU, up to 25 IUs will be inspected.
3. Follow-up inspections of IUs are not included in the scope of this proposal.
4. Cost for sample collection and analyses, by an outside laboratory, is not included in the cost
estimate and would be billed separately.
Cost
Based on the project man-hours, EEC will provide the services described above on a time -and -materials
basis with a not to exceed cost of $25,000. This work will be conducted pursuant to EEC's most current
Fee Schedule and Standard Terms & Conditions (attached). Monthly progress invoices will be submitted
for payment which will be due and payable in net 30 days. This proposed cost is valid for thirty (30) days
after the proposal date. If additional work is requested or due to extenuating circumstance required
outside of the aforementioned scope of work EEC will notify the City for approval prior to proceeding.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide industrial pretreatment services to the City of El Segundo. EEC
can begin work upon receipt of authorization to proceed. Should there be any questions regarding the
contents of this proposal, please contact me at (714) 667-2300 orjjenkins@eecenvironmental.com.
