Additional project management details are discussed in section 4.0 below. 2.1.2 Kickoff Meeting I;E,C will hold a kick -off meeting with the City for introductions, to discuss the scope, parameters and schedule of the Project, and to discuss specific tasks, goals and milestones. Before this meeting, 1.1F.0 will review available documents, provide a draft agenda, and distribute SSMP element templates and surveys to ensure that the meeting is as productive as possible. After the meeting, EEC will distribute a memorandum with a clearly defined action plan for EEC and the City. Appropriate City staff will be interviewed by FEC to gather necessary information for the Project. V,EC will collect and review all documents applicable to this Project. Examples ofdocuments may include: 1. City of 1;1 Segundo Municipal Code 2. Sewage System Maintenance Overflow and Spill Prevention Program (MOSPP) 3.

Standard Specifications for the Construction of Sanitary Sewer Systems 14. Five year CIP 15. "Operating Budget" 2008 16. List of FOG Generators 17. Interceptor Monitoring Inspection Worksheet, if applicable 18. Best Management Practices for Restaurants, if applicable 19. Interceptor /Separator Application City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 2 EEC 3883. , 20. Interceptor /Separator Inspection Form 21. Copy of a Typical Notice of Violation 22. Restaurant Waste Grease Disposal Locations 2.1.3 Work Plan EEC will prepare a work plan for each task of this Project to set forth the significant milestones and deliverables for the team members (both City staff and EEC) and to ensure compliance with the established project execution strategy and project goals. EEC provides this service for many of our SSMP and FOG projects to confirm that all deliverables are completed on time and on budget. 2.1.4 City Staff Meeting EEC will meet with City staff to review the City's current documents, work plans for each task, and to collect additional information for completion of each deliverable. 2.1.5 Bi- weekly Progress Reports Bi- weekly progress reports will be prepared by and the upcoming work, updating the schedule, weekly progress reports will be e- mailed to the display the action items for the City. 2.1.6 Informal Meetinas with City Staff EEC summarizing the work performed and providing budget status. These bi- appropriate City staff and will clearly Meetings will be held with City staff on a frequent informal basis during the project to review progress, exchange ideas and information, and make sure that everyone is in agreement concerning responsibilities, deliverables, and deadlines. 2.1.7 Draft Reports As each task is nearing completion, EEC will present 6 copies of draft reports for City review and comment prior to finalization. In order to be more efficient and reduce costs, some draft reports will include multiple tasks. 2.1.8 City of El Segundo Council Presentation EEC will prepare and conduct a formal presentation to the City of El Segundo Council at the appropriate time as determined by the City to keep the City Council informed and to solicit their comments or comments from the public. EEC has conducted numerous city council and Special District Board presentations for our SSMP and FOG Control Program development projects and can use much of the presentation materials from these other projects to benefit this Project. 2.2 TASK 2 - LEGAL AUTHORITY As required in the WDR, the City must demonstrate through sanitary sewer system use ordinances, service agreements, or other legally binding procedures, that the City possesses the necessary legal authority required in the SSMP. EEC will review the City's City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 3 EEC 3883 . , existing Municipal Code, standards, and other sanitary sewer requirements and provide a written description demonstrating that these regulations sufficiently address the issues WDR requirements. Based on EEC's initial review of the Municipal Code, the City already has regulations governing wastewater discharge, but the FOG legal authority will require significant upgrading. Therefore, EEC is assuming that there will be minor modifications to the existing Municipal Code, and EEC will discuss with the City whether the new FOG regulations should be included in the Municipal Code or through a separate FOG ordinance. EEC has developed FOG regulations using both approaches for other projects depending upon city attorney preference. To avoid confusion, the anticipated FOG legal authority work is included in the FOG Control Program Task. If the existing Codes and standards do not sufficiently address WDR requirements, EEC will make recommendations for upgrades. 2.2.1 Prevent Illicit Discharges Prevent illicit discharges into the City's sanitary sewer system, including inflow /infiltration from laterals, stormwater, and other unauthorized debris. EEC will review the City's current legal authority to prevent illicit discharges and provide examples from EEC's other projects. 2.2.2 Prover Sewer Connections Require proper design and construction of sewer connections. EEC will review the City's current legal authority to ensure proper sewer connections are made and will provide examples from EEC's other projects. 2.2.3 Minimum FOG Pre - treatment Standards Development of minimum FOG pretreatment standards at food service establishments (FSEs) such as permitted grease interceptors (e.g., gravity, hydromechanical, and grease removal devices). Best Management Practices (BMPs) can also serve as proper pretreatment for many FSEs, consequently, this pretreatment option will be evaluated by EEC as well. The current City of El Segundo Municipal Code refers to adoption of the 2007 California Plumbing Code, but this does not provide sufficient direction for proper pre- treatment standards. EEC will develop a pre- treatment approach for the City that is appropriate for the FOG blockage and maintenance issues in the City while being sensitive to the burden that pre- treatment can have on FSEs. 2.2.4 Draft FOG Ordinance EEC will develop a draft FOG ordinance with established penalties and enforcement mechanisms. The City can either choose to incorporate these FOG ordinance elements into the existing Municipal Code or can adopt a separate FOG Ordinance. EEC has developed FOG ordinances (or incorporated FOG ordinance elements into existing Municipal Codes) for over 20 cities and sewer districts to date. Similar to the FOG pre- treatment standards, EEC will develop a draft ordinance for the City that is appropriate for the FOG blockage and maintenance issues in the City while being sensitive to the burden that the FOG requirements can have on FSEs. City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 4 EEC 3883 . , 0 ,1 2.2.5 FOG Inspection Program EEC will develop a FOG inspection program which includes inspection frequency, permits, cost recovery, and coordination with existing stormwater and industrial waste inspections. EEC currently performs all of the FOG inspections for four cities and sewer districts on an annual contract basis. EEC has inspected over 10,000 food service establishments and has trained over 400 FOG inspectors throughout the State of California through our FOG Inspector Training Workshop that was originally offered through CalFOG and now is offered through the California Water Environment Association (CWEA). 2.3 TASK 3 - OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM REVIEW 2.3.1 Review Preventative Maintenance Program EEC will review the existing City's routine preventative operations and maintenance program and create or recommend improvements to the existing written Preventative Maintenance /Work order program, hot spot tracking program, and Standard Operating Procedures based on current program activities and necessary additions to meet SSMP requirements. EEC will also consult with City Operations and Maintenance (O &M) staff. In the SSMP, EEC will include a description of the routine preventative maintenance activities that the City performs on a regular basis. At a minimum, EEC will include the following: • Describe routine preventive operation and maintenance activities by City staff and contractors, including a system for scheduling regular maintenance and cleaning of the sanitary sewer system and sewer lift stations with more frequent cleaning and maintenance targeted at known problem areas. The Preventive Maintenance (PM) program will include a system to document scheduled and conducted activities, such as work orders. • EEC will review the existing City stock/spare parts supply and recommend any additions. Following this, EEC will work with City staff to create an equipment and replacement parts list inventory. In the SSMP, EEC will include a description of critical replacement parts and Emergency /Standby Equipment. EEC will consult with City Sewer O &M staff on identification of necessary replacement parts, emergency equipment, and current inventories of both. • EEC will recommend a 5 -year program and develop a schedule tracking the progress for CCTV inspections, physical facility inspections, and other PM activities for all gravity sewers, manholes, pumping facilities, and force mains. • Develop a plan to identify and prioritize system deficiencies and implement short - term and long -term rehabilitation actions to address each deficiency. This should include FOG problem areas and pipeline structural deficiencies. The program should include regular visual and CCTV inspections of manholes and sewer pipes, and system for ranking the conditions that are at risk of collapse or pone to more frequent blockages due to pipe defects. • The WDR requires the City to maintain up -to date maps of its wastewater collection system facilities. EEC will review existing City sewer system maps, Geographic City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 5 EEC 3883 • ,,$.A Information System (GIS), and associated goedatabases. EEC will also consult with City staff to ensure accuracy and currency of the sewer system. In the SSMP, EEC will include a description of the type of maps currently being used by the City. EEC will recommend improvements in the City's PM Program with an understanding that the City's current PM Program has proven to be very effective to this point. 2.3.2 Trainine Proeram EEC will review the City's current training program and provide the following, as appropriate: EEC will develop a written training program for the City where training is provided on a regular basis for staff in sanitary sewer system operations and maintenance, and contractors are required to be appropriately trained. EEC will also develop recommended or suggested contract language for City contractors to obtain required training. 2.4 TASK 4 - OVERFLOW EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN EEC has already conducted a preliminary review of the City's Overflow Emergency Response Plan (OERP) that was provided as an Addendum to the RFP. The City's OERP is comprehensive and practical. However, EEC offers the following comments to provide a jump -start on upgrades to the Plan in order to meet the WDR requirements and to ensure effective emergency response: 1. City staff training should be addressed in the plan; 2. Some modifications relating to reporting should be added to communicate the chain of command and to fit the California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) on- line reporting requirements; 3. Additional detail relating to staff responsibilities and expected response times is recommended; 4. The incident assessment process should specify the criteria required to determine the appropriate response. EEC has included an example of a Spill Reporting procedure extracted from an Orange County SSMP that we developed: REPORTING THE SPILL After the spill is contained, all sewage spills, regardless of size, must be reported immediately by phone to the Environmental Health Division of the Orange County Health Care Agency ( OCHCA). During working hours, call OCHCA directly at (714) 433 -6419. After working hours and on the weekends, notify OCHCA by calling Orange County Control One (available 24 hours) at (714) 628 -7008. If the spill is small and you don't need assistance, let Orange County Control One know that you are making an official spill notification. If you need assistance from the Orange County Environmental Management Agency ( OCEMA) or OCHCA, ask Control One to have OCEMA or OCHCA call you (see Emergency Contractors and Mutual Aid section on page 9). Report all spills directly to the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) at (951) 782- 4130. During work hours, the person answering the phone will route your call. After work hours, leave a message on the answering machine with the following information: 1. Your Name 6. Status /End of Spill City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 6 EEC 3886.,,•, 2. City 7. Suspected Cause 3. Phone Number 8. Estimate of Spill Volume 4. Location of Spill 9. Did Spill Discharge into S.A. or Channel 5. Size of Spill If you see the release of what may be hazardous material from private property, call the City Fire Department Hazmat Team at and assist them with the problem. The Orange County Health Care Agency should also be called at (714) 433 -6419 for this type of problem. Other agencies may also need to be contacted, depending on the conditions present. Call the on- call Supervisor /Crew Leader for direction. Written reports of all spills must be prepared by a California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) authorized user (see Appendix A, blue sheet) and filed on the CIWQS on -line reporting system. For the on -call duty person, it is very important to write down all relevant information such as times, names of persons contacted and when, estimated flow rate and volume of sewage spilled, names of people responding, etc. Photographs of spill containment procedures will be required. Complete the attached Spill Reporting Field Form (see Appendix C, red sheet) and turn it in to the appropriate Supervisor. The on -call supervisor shall complete the attached Spill Reporting On -Call Supervisor /Crew Leader Form (see Appendix B, yellow sheet) from information received from the field personnel responding to the spill. CATEGORY 1 SPILL REPORTING: Category 1 spills are spills that meet any one or more of the following criteria: • Any spill that reaches a storm drain inlet and is not fully captured and returned to the sewer system. • Any spill that reaches a drainage channel and /or surface water. • Any spill equal to or greater than 1,000 gallons. Reporting for all Category 1 spills shall be made by the on -call duty person and shall be handled as follows: 1. Contact Orange County Health Care Agency at (714) 443 -6419 as described above WITHIN 2 HOURS after becoming aware of the spill. 2.

However, simply meeting the SSMP general FOG requirements does not necessarily result in an effective and business - friendly FOG Control Program. EEC proposes to conduct a thorough analysis of the City's current program based on our wealth of FOG experience described in the following paragraphs. FOG in sewers can be problematic, often causing blockages in small to medium sized, low flowing sewer pipes and resulting in public and private SSOs such as the private SSO experienced in El Segundo in June 2008. To address this issue, the WDR requires that cities and sewer districts develop new FOG Control Ordinances and FOG Control Programs to reduce FOG - related SSOs. EEC is proud to have played a significant role in the reduction of FOG related SSOs for many agencies in California, having designed, implemented, and managed numerous FOG Control Programs. This success is borne by the combined effort of permitting and inspection of Food Service Establishments (FSEs), public outreach and education, and periodic cleaning of sewers, particularly the problematic "hot spots ". City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 8 EEC If left uncontrolled, FSEs contributor of troublesome the heart of a successful 3883.,,,,E re by far the most significant FOG into sewer systems. At FOG Control effort is the implementation of the FOG Control Procedures (FOG Program Manual). Some agencies have chosen to assist FSEs by providing suggestions on various Kitchen Best Management Practices (BMP) that can be implemented. Effective implementation of such BMPs within the facility avoids having to construct costly grease traps or interceptors for exiting businesses. Public outreach to residential neighborhoods has also begun, informing citizens about the impact of dumping FOG down the drain. EEC has a diverse staff, experienced in every facet of FOG control. The team is well equipped with experienced engineers, GIS analysts, scientists, and inspectors to assist the City with addressing all FOG issues, including staff training and optimizing your current FOG assessment programs. 2.5.1 Public Education and Outreach EEC will evaluate the current Public FOG Education and Outreach program and make recommendations for upgrades, if necessary, along with a plan and schedule. EEC has developed many FOG education and outreach programs and materials for FOG programs throughout the country which can benefit this project. 2.5.2 Disposal of FOG EEC will research the FOG waste disposal options and facilities in the area and document that there is adequate disposal options for the yellow and brown grease generated in the City. 2.5.3 Leeal Authority As was discussed in Task 2 above, EEC will ensure that the City of El Segundo has the proper legal authority to control FOG discharges in the City. The costs for this work are included in this FOG task. The other legal authority costs are included in Task 2. 2.5.4 Grease Removal Devices, BMPs, Record Keepine and Rmortine FOG Source Control is the first line of defense in controlling SSOs caused by FOG blockages and is a combination of two important programs: BMPs and Grease Removal Devices. First, FOG can be prevented from entering drains that lead to the sewer system through the promotion and implementation of kitchen BMPs such as "Don't Pour Grease Down the Drain" or "Scrape Grease and Food Particles Into the Trash Before Washing Plates or City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 9 EEC Cookware ". For residential dischargers, this can be accomplished through an effective education and outreach program. Second, FOG that does enter drains at FSEs can be captured before it flows to the public sewer system through the requirement for the proper design, installation, and maintenance of Grease Removal Devices (i.e., grease interceptors and traps). EEC completed the largest FOG Control Study (Study) in the country on behalf of Orange County Sanitation District and 26 other cities and wastewater agencies in Orange County. Phase I of the Study resulted in recommendations for sewer cleaning and BMP programs that have become the backbone of FOG Control Programs throughout Orange County and California. The Phase I1 Study field tested new FOG Control Technologies such as Additives, Automated Grease Removal Devices, and Interceptor Monitoring Devices. The report provided the detailed results of the field testing and provided testing, monitoring, and agency approval procedures for these technologies. EEC is aware that the City adopted the 2007 M ; California Plumbing Code which means that it also adopted the recent Uniform Plumbing Code Chapter 2 and Chapter 10 changes. Based on these changes, all grease control devices (i.e., grease interceptors, grease traps, and grease removal devices) will be classified as "Grease Interceptors ". Furthermore, conventional grease interceptors will be named "Gravity Grease Interceptors" and grease traps will be named "Hydromechanical Grease Interceptors ". A more significant change in the Code is the sizing of conventional (Gravity) Grease Interceptors. New Gravity Grease Interceptors will now be sized based on the number of Drainage Fixture Units (DFUs) in the kitchen rather the number of meals served at peak hour or the FSE's hours of operation. This will result in new Building Department plan check procedures and close coordination with the FOG program. ft«n EEC was a member of the +ate IAPMO FOG Task Group °u'" that worked on these changes. In fact, EEC developed the new Gravity Grease Interceptor sizing formula with help from a plumbing engineer on the sods Task Group. The new sizing formula was developed due to the concern that the old formula was leading to "over- sized" outdoor grease interceptors which resulted in incomplete cleaning, corrosive conditions, hydrogen sulfide generation, and odors. EEC is currently assisting other sewering agencies such as the City of Santa Ana and the Irvine Ranch Water District in the implementation of the City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 10 EEC 3883, new sizing formula. This specialized experience will allow EEC to provide expert guidance to the City of El Segundo, if requested, during this transition to the new Code. EEC will help the City with many important decisions as it relates to the requirements that it will place on FSEs to minimize their financial burden while still protecting the sewer system. EEC will also develop simple and logical record keeping and reporting requirements for the City's FSEs. 2.5.5 FSE Inspections and Enforcement As a result of EEC's FOG Inspector services offered for sewering agencies, EEC staff has conducted over 6,000 FSE BMP inspections and over 4,000 Grease Interceptor /Grease Trap inspections, and has issued Notices of Non - Compliance to ensure that the food service establishments are adhering to FOG Control requirements. EEC has assisted in the development of 20 FOG Control Ordinances and has developed the FOG Control Program Enforcement Response Plans, FSE Permits, Inspection Forms, Notices of Non - compliance, Fact Sheets and Database /GIS support for 6 sewering agencies. EEC developed and currently conducts California's only Grease Interceptor Inspector Training Workshop for the California Water Environment Association (formerly conducted for CalFOG). Seven (7) workshops have been conducted to date and over 400 inspectors have been trained by EEC. If requested, EEC can offer our in -house expertise to provide or enhance the City's use of powerful tools including GIS, Microsoft Access Database structures, Visual Basic programming to provide an uniquely effective and efficient inspection program (Figure 1). EEC has created a methodology to characterize an FSE as high risk, low risk, or Limited Food Preparation (LFP). This characterization is used to determine an FSE's inspection frequency.

This method of inspection management reduces the likelihood that an agency's resources are misappropriated. The GIS and database integration also provides customized tools that quickly query copious amounts of FSE data for usable results. For example, an inspector or manager can find an SSO or hotspot in the GIS and quickly determine which FSEs are related to that liability. Hyperlink tools in the GIS are designed to quickly query the FSE database to return usable pertinent information, inspection histories, pictures, and inspection forms. City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 12 EEC Although EEC has many FOG capabilities, we know that the City has initiated FSE inspections that are working and the City's FOG blockage problem is not severe; therefore, we will work with City staff, such as Steve Tsumura, to recommend logical upgrades to the FSE inspection and enforcement program that comply with the WDR and do not overly burden the City or the FSEs. 2.5.6 FOG Hot Spot Identification and Cleaning EEC has extensive experience in sewer line closed- circuit television (CCTV) monitoring of FOG accumulation (FOG Source Characterization) that could be used to determine the specific sources of FOG blockages, verify the effectiveness of FSEs' BMPs, and assist in the enforcement of the conditional waiver program. To this point, EEC has characterized over 350 hot spots and identified numerous individual sources of FOG blockages in Southern and Northern JW ' California. The FOG Characterization data has also provided other very valuable information beyond what can be determined based on an FSE inspection. EEC understands that FOG is not the only reason for SSOs and that a thorough understanding of the system is critical when reducing SSOs. EEC's experience in sewer line characterization activities has provided a keen understanding of how hydraulic defects in the sewer, such as offset joints, roots, and sags can impact the ability of a sewer to transport grease within the sewer system. Through implementation of innovative new approaches such as GIS integration with asset management technologies, EEC can provide simple and efficient management solutions for sewer system maintenance activities and system asset management. EEC is well equipped to support the City with their sewer system evaluation and troubleshooting needs. Again, EEC knows that the City does not have a serious FOG blockage problem, so we will work with the sewer maintenance staff to see if there is a need for an upgrade in the current Hot Spot identification and cleaning program. 2.5.7 FOG Hot Spot Identification and Source Control Even though the City does not have a severe FOG blockage problem, there are always a few FOG - related Hot Spots that are being impacted by one or two significant sources of FOG. EEC will work with the sewer maintenance and source control staff to see if increased source control efforts are necessary at specific locations upstream of Hot Spots. City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 13 EEC -3 883...6_.46 2.6 TASK 6 - SYSTEM EVALUATION AND CAPACITY ASSURANCE PLAN EEC will evaluate the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to determine if it addresses hydraulic capacity issues for key sanitary sewer system elements during dry weather peak flow conditions, as well as the appropriate design for storm or wet weather event. At a minimum, the plan should include: • Evaluation: Actions needed to evaluate those portions of the sanitary sewer system that are experiencing or contributing to an SSO discharge caused by hydraulic deficiency. The evaluation must provide estimates of peak flows (including flows from SSOs that escape the system) associated with conditions similar to those causing overflow events, estimates of the capacity of key system components, hydraulic deficiencies (including components of the system limiting capacity) and the major sources that contribute to the peak flows associated with overflow events. • Design criteria: Where design criteria do not exist or are deficient, undertake the evaluation identified in (a) above to establish appropriate design criteria. • Capacity Enhancement Measures: The steps needed to establish a short- and long- term CIP to address identified hydraulic deficiencies, including prioritization, alternatives analysis, and schedules. The CIP may include increases in pipe size, UI reduction, increases and redundancy in pumping capacity, and storage facilities. The CIP shall include an implementation schedule and shall identify sources of funding. • Schedule: A schedule of completion dates for all portions of the capital improvement program developed above. This schedule shall be reviewed and updated consistent with the SSMP review and update requirements. EEC will coordinate with City staff to provide the following services to ensure that these requirements are adequately addressed: • Compile current City practices into a single comprehensive description for the System Evaluation and Capacity Assurance Plan; • Conduct interviews with City staff and review of City sewer inspection and flow reports, evaluate those portions of the sewer system experiencing capacity related overflows and I &I; • Review the City's most recent Sanitary Sewer Master Plan Update Report (2002) to identify deficiencies and recommended corrective measures; • Review the City's sewer system CIP and provide recommendations; • Develop a schedule for necessary work identified in the SSMP (Table to be included in the SSMP) 2.7 TASK 7 - MONITORING, MEASUREMENT, AND PROGRAM MODIFICATION EEC will evaluate the City's plan to measure and track the effectiveness of the SSMP. As a minimum, this plan should include the following elements: City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 14 EEC • Maintain relevant information that can be used to establish and prioritize appropriate SSMP activities; • Monitor the implementation and, where appropriate, measure the effectiveness of each element of the SSMP; • Assess the success of the preventive maintenance program; • Update program elements as appropriate, based on monitoring or performance evaluations; • Identify and illustrate SSO trends, including: frequency, location and volume. EEC will assist the City in developing the metrics needed to monitor and measure the effectiveness of required SSMP elements as follows: • Review current City Monitoring and data collection programs for the sewer system; • Develop a tracking system or matrix for performance indicators that measure the effectiveness of the SSMP elements in reducing SSOs; • Provide recommendations for upgrades to current data collections systems or for the specification of a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). 2.8 TASK 8 - SSMP PROGRAM AUDITS EEC will prepare the City to conduct periodic internal audits, appropriate to the size of the system and the number of SSOs. At a minimum, these audits must occur every two years and a report must be prepared and kept on file. This audit shall focus on evaluating the effectiveness of the SSMP and the City's compliance with the SSMP requirements, including identification of any deficiencies in the SSMP and steps to correct them. EEC will coordinate with City O &M and GIS staff to develop internal audit procedures and forms to include the following: • Document Control; • Training; • Target and Objectives — Strategic Plan with measurable targets and objectives; • Data Management; • Documented Procedures; • Outcomes — Performance data linked to CIP and Program budgets. 2.9 TASK 9 - DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE PROVISIONS EEC will review existing City sewer system engineering design and construction standards for new and rehabilitation/repair projects. EEC is aware that the City is utilizing the Green Book for most of the standards. EEC will make recommendations and/or design changes to standards to meet current and industry standards if necessary. In the SSMP, EEC will describe the existing and/or revised City design and performance standards. EEC will work closely with the City Engineering Department. EEC will review existing City inspection and testing standards and procedures for new, rehabilitated, and repaired sewer infrastructure. EEC will ensure that City inspection City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal is EEC 3883•... standards are updated and current and that training is identified to keep City personnel up -to -date with the changing standards. In the SSMP, EEC will describe the existing and or revised City Inspection, Testing, and Training Standards in the SSMP. 2.10 TASK 10 - FINANCIAL PLAN EEC will review the City's current financial plan to fund the identified staffing needs, operating costs, CIP project costs, equipment requirements, on -going CCTV activities, and other WDR compliance costs. EEC will work with City staff to determine if additional revenues are needed to fund these projects in the near and long term. If additional revenues are needed, EEC will develop justifications and recommendations for rate adjustments. The fee for an extensive cost analyses and rate study is not included in this proposal, but could be added, if requested. 2.11 TASK 11 - COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM EEC will evaluate the City's current communications program and determine if it has the following elements: • Communicate on a regular basis with the public on the development, implementation, and performance of its SSMP. The communication system shall provide the public the opportunity to provide input to the Enrollee as the program is developed and implemented; • Create a plan of communication with collection systems that are tributary and/or satellite to the City's sanitary sewer system; EEC will review the City's existing communication tools, such as public information notices and City website, and as needed, develop enhancements to the communication program The communications program will provide a means for the City to disseminate information on SSMP development, implementation and performance to the public, effected businesses /stakeholders and satellite sewer systems. City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 16 EEC 3.1 STAFFING 3.0 Key Personnel Environmental Engineering & Contracting, Inc Project Organizational Chart for the City of El Segundo .s t5 b .s . No sub - consultants are needed for this project due to EEC's in -house expertise. All of EEC's key personnel for this project have been working together on developing similar SSMPs and FOG Control Programs for the past 5 years. The key personnel are all available to perform this project based on their current workload. Additionally, due to our personnel's extensive experience working together on similar projects, they are tremendously flexible should something unexpected happen that limits a given personnel member's availability. Mr. Kolk will attend the kick -off meeting and he will attend the review meeting/workshop, final report meeting, and presentation to the Chino City Council depending upon the main emphasis of those meetings. Mr. Shaffer will be involved in key conference calls and will attend at least one meeting and the presentation to the City Council. 3.2 QUALIFICATIONS John Shaffer will be the Principal -in- Charge for the project and will ensure that all of the business aspects of the project are handled professionally, that the quality of the deliverables is of the highest caliber, and that there are no slippages in the project schedule. Mr. Shaffer has served this role for every SSMP and FOG project for EEC. Mr. Shaffer will also be assisting Mr. Kolk in the FOG Control Program development task. Mr. Shaffer has developed twelve FOG Control Programs and eight FOG control ordinances. A resume for Mr. Shaffer is included in the Appendix. Jim Kolk will be Project Manager for the project. Mr. Kolk has managed other similar SSMP projects, has personally developed eight FOG Control Programs, and has managed the implementation of six FOG Control Programs, including restaurant inspections and enforcement. Mr. Kolk will also be leading the review of the key City documents and procedures. A resume for Mr. Kolk is included in the Appendix. City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 17 EEC I 3883 . • � y Stan Steinbach, P.E. will be the civil engineer for the overall development of the SSMP. Stan Steinbach is a Professional Civil Engineer and has extensive experience developing similar SSMPs such as those for the Cities of Fullerton and Stanton. Mr. Steinbach is experienced with every element of the SSMP, both as an engineer and as a task manager. A resume for Mr. Steinbach is included in the Appendix. Ramon Gallegos will be the FOG task manager and leading the document development, data management and GIS elements, when required. Mr. Gallegos is a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analyst with 10 years experience including 5 years experience with FOG database management and Food Service Establishment (FSE) inspection coordination for FOG programs. A resume for Mr. Gallegos is included in the Appendix. The allocation of time for each key person discussed above is shown in the cost estimate. EEC develops all SSMPs and FOG Control Programs from our office in Santa Ana, California. All SSMPs are California projects, but EEC develops FOG control programs all over the United States. This means that all of EEC's key project personnel work together in the same office with work spaces not more than 50 feet from each other. This project consists of meetings and documentation - oriented tasks that will likely not require more than 4 or 5 trips to the City, so travel time and expenses will not be significant. City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 18 EEC 4.0 Project Management System EEC has provided many details within the individual task approaches; however, EEC will ensure that the overall approach is not unnecessarily complicated due to the fact that the City has such a low occurrence of SSOs and has already completed most of the work required for each SSMP element or due to the fact the SSMP element is extremely straightforward. One exception is the FOG Control Program, which EEC will develop side -by -side with the City in a methodical and comprehensive fashion to ensure a fair and business - friendly impact on the restaurants. This approach will ensure that the SSMP elements are completed with a level of effort and complexity that is appropriate for each task. EEC utilizes proven templates for each SSMP and FOG element based on previous SSMP and FOG projects. EEC will adjust these based on the City's particular structure and programs, but these templates have already been approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board for the original WDR requirements in North Orange County and have been adapted slightly to the State -wide WDR requirements. EEC also uses proven project management tools that we use on similar projects to track the progress on deliverables and the budget. A typical monthly report would track the progress of each deliverable and the major elements of each task as well as the budget for each task. It would also identify the next steps and who is responsible for that next step. An example of an SSMP monthly progress report is provided in the Appendix. City of El Segundo SSMP Proposal 19 EEC 3883 5.0 Budget and Schedule EEC has developed the following detailed cost breakdown for the project with a total not - to- exceed cost estimate of $35,505 to be performed on a time - and - materials basis.

Since joining EEC, Mr. Gallegos has accomplished a number of GIS projects which included tasks such as creating and editing spatial data and attribute data, analyzing data, and producing layouts. He has also managed GIS research, fieldwork, data collection, data processing, data management, and asset management. EDUCATION M.A., Geography, California State University, Fullerton, 2007 SPECIAL TRAINING ArcGIS, ESRI File and Personal Geodatabase structures, Access, Trimble GPS, Excel, RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE Various Cities and Water Districts in the County of Orange, California — GIS specialist for the development of city and water district maps of FSEs, city and county sewer systems, sanitary sewer overflows, and sewer hotspots. These maps were linked to an Access databases which housed characterization data for each FSE in the agencies. These systems were employed to more efficiently and more completely manage inspections of over 5,000 FSEs for the various FOG programs. Mr. Gallegos managed these inspections, processed the data, and coordinated any resulting compliance inspections. Various Cities and Agencies, California —Mr. Gallegos designed and implemented system- wide sewer atlases for these agencies. The atlases included manholes (symbolized by their types), sewer pipe segments (symbolized by their ownership or relevant problems), sewer hotspots (symbolized by cleaning frequency), aerial photography, parcel data, and various landmark features such as rivers, lakes, learning institutions, parks, and railroads. The atlases displayed all data necessary (such as pipe segment and manhole IDs, pipe segment material, footage, and size, and street and highway names) for sewer maintenance field crews to effectively and efficiently accomplish their work orders. Various Cities and Water Districts in the County of Orange, California — Mr. Gallegos designed, implemented, and maintained a methodology to track and monitor FSE inspections including compliance inspection. This methodology has been tested and proven to capture all necessary inspections of all FSEs regardless of their necessary inspection frequencies: Quarterly, Semi - Annually, Annually, and Bi- Annually.
