Subject: Proposal for Municipal Stormwater Permit Assistance
Dear Ms. Katsouleas and Mr. Xu:
Geosyntec Consultants (Geosyntec) is pleased to provide to you this proposal for
consulting services to assist the City of El Segundo (City) in implementing the
municipal stormwater permit. The fourth Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control
Board (Regional Board) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Permit for discharges from the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) within
Coastal Watersheds of Los Angeles County (LA MS4 Permit) became effective on
December 28,2012.
The LA MS4 Permit identifies conditions, requirements and programs that
municipalities must comply with to protect regional water resources from adverse
impacts associated with pollutants in stormwater and urban runoff; the requirements
have been significantly expanded and intensified over those in the previous permit
which had been in effect since 2001. The City has determined to pursue the Enhanced
Watershed Management Program (EWMP) implementation option in cooperation with
other co-Permittees and to jointly fund the development of EWMPs and Coordinated
Integrated Monitoring Programs (CIMPs) for each watershed through separate scope(s)
of work and contracting mechanisms which are not included in this proposal. This
proposal provides a scope of work to assist the City in meeting its individual
requirements under the LA MS4 Permit during the development of the EWMPs. While
the EWMPs are being developed and until approved by the Regional Board, the City
must:
• Continue to implement existing stormwater management programs in each of
the six categories of minimum control measures;
NCP2014.4010Proposal-ElSegundo-if 5u ri-FY14e15(Final2).docx
engineers I scientists I innovators
Ms. Stephanie Katsouleas, Director
June 30, 2014
Page 2
• Continue to implement measures to eliminate non-stormwater discharges
through the MS4 that are a source of pollutants to receiving waters; and
• Implement measures identified in existing TMDL implementation plans to
achieve compliance with interim and final receiving water limitations deadlines
occurring prior to approval of the EWMP(s).
• Establish and implement an LID ordinance and Green Street policy prior to
submittal of the EWMP(s)
SCOPE OF WORK
The City is not requesting support for all permit elements at this time,but rather specific
assistance with discrete tasks as well as on-call support to address issues and needs as
they arise. In some instances work tasks can be distributed across multiple municipal
clients to provide our services and expertise in a cost-shared fashion. Subtasks where
we have proposed to carry out the work in a cost-shared fashion are identified with an
asterisk(*).
Task 1 — LA MS4 Permit Program*
This task provides an allocation of time to assist City staff in program level planning for
implementation of the LA MS4 Permit and for on-call support to address developments
arising from permit-wide workshops or other permit implementation support needs.
Task 2—Public Agency Activities Program Training*
The Public Agency Activities Program in the new LA MS4 Permit prescribes Best
Management Practices (BMPs) to limit water quality impacts from municipal activities.
Since the City is pursuing the EWMP implementation option, the City may continue to
implement existing BMPs under the previous LA MS4 Permit while the EWMP is
under development and will not need to make major changes in the program during
FY14-15.
This task is provided to meet the annual City staff training requirement for the ongoing
implementation of Public Works stormwater pollution prevention BMPs as well as on
new provisions of the permit that may not be customized through the EWMP such as
the non-stormwater discharge prohibitions. A workshop with the Public Works
Department staff, as well as appropriate staff from other departments, will be developed
and delivered at the City's offices. This workshop will include discussion of the
NCP2014.4010Proposal-E]Segundo-MS4-Support-FY14-15(Fina12).docx
engineers I scientists I innovators
4672 - -
Ms. Stephanie Katsouleas, Director

conditionally exempt non-stormwater discharges and required BMPs for those
exemptions.
A single two-hour workshop session is assumed with allowance for adequate
preparation time for structuring the workshop and providing handouts. Effort for
preparation of the presentation and handouts will be conducted in a cost-shared fashion.
Task 3—Industrial/Commereial Facilities Control Program
The new LA MS4 Permit requires the implementation of an Industrial/Commercial
Facilities Control Program to track, inspect, and evaluate compliance at facilities that
are critical sources of pollutants in stormwater. As in the previous LA MS4 Permit,
industrial/commercial facility assessments under the new LA MS4 Permit are required
to be conducted twice during the LA MS4 Permit term with the first round to be
conducted no later than December 28, 2014. Geosyntec understands that the City will
utilize in-house staff to conduct the necessary industrial/commercial assessments in
accordance with LA MS4 Permit requirements and is requesting that Gcosyntec provide
training for the in-house inspector in conducting the industrial/commercial assessments
and in tracking and managing the facility database as required by the LA MS4 Permit.
The Industrial/Commercial Facilities Program of the new LA MS4 Permit is
substantially similar to the previous permit requirements, with some minor
modifications and one significant new requirement. Because the City will be training a
new inspector, it is assumed that rather than continue with the existing program under
the previous permit, the minor modifications of the program will be implemented as
specified in the current LA MS4 Permit (thus avoiding the need to retrain the inspector
and modify the program once the EWMP is implemented). However, it is assumed that
the significant new requirement for establishment of a Business Assistance Program
may be customized during the EWMP development process and is excluded from this
scope of work.
Subtask 3.1 Facility Inventory and Notification
The new MS4 Permit requires that each Permittee maintain an updated inventory of all
industrial and commercial facilities within its jurisdiction that may be critical sources of
stormwater pollution. The permit recommends but does not require that the facility
information be incorporated into geographical information system (GIS). Geosyntec
will assist the City's inspector in establishing and organizing an inventory of industrial
and commercial facilities in Excel® spreadsheet format for use in tracking inspections.
If the City wishes to link the spreadsheet to its GIS system, Geosyntec will coordinate
NCP2014.4010Proposal-E1Segundo-M S4-Support-FY 14-15(Fina12).docx
engineers I scientists I innovators
Ms. Stephanie Katsouleas, Director
June 30, 2014
Page 4
with City's GIS analyst to set up the spreadsheet in a format which can readily be
imported into the City's GIS. It is assumed that the City will provide Geosyntec an
initial output to Excel® from its business license database of the businesses in the
various commercial and industrial categories regulated by the LA MS4 Permit. It is
assumed that no GIS database management effort is required by Geosyntec in
establishing the inventory.
At least once during the five-year period covered by the MS4 Permit, each Permittee is
required to notify owners/operators of commercial and industrial facilities in its
inventory of the best management practice (BMP) requirements applicable to potential
sources of stormwater pollution at those facilities. To assist the City in meeting the
facility notification requirement, Geosyntec will prepare draft template letters for the
City to mail to commercial and industrial facilities in the inventory. The letters will
notify the facilities of upcoming visits and of the BMP requirements that may be
applicable to each facility based on business type, and will provide a website link to the
California BMP Handbook for Industrial Facilities. This task includes preparing four(4)
template letters for four groups of facilities: restaurant, automotive/retail gas, nurseries,
and industrial facilities. It is assumed that City staff will finalize and mail the letters to
the facilities in the inventory prior to facility visits.
Subtask 3.2 Facility Assessment Checklists and Training of City Inspector
The LA MS4 Permit specifies the scope of facility assessments for specific categories
of commercial and industrial facilities. Geosyntec will prepare three (3) template
assessment checklists for specific categories of commercial facilities listed in the permit
grouped as follows:
• Restaurants
• Automotive service facilities, auto dealerships, and retail gasoline outlets
• Nurseries and garden centers
Geosyntec will also prepare two types of checklists for industrial facilities:
• Light industrial and/or warehousing facilities
• Industrial and larger more complex facilities
The checklist items will address the LA MS4 Permit mandatory scope elements
including effective source control BMPs and will be structured for ease of use in the

Beaches Bacteria, Marine Debris (trash), DDT and PCBs in Santa Monica Bay; and
Toxics (metals, legacy pesticides and PCBs, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and
aquatic toxicity) for Dominguez Channel/LA Harbor. This task is to provide as-needed
assistance to City staff upon request in support of watershed activities for either one or
both watersheds.
COST PROPOSAL
Geosyntec will conduct the work effort described in the Scope of Work for $24,130
based on actual time and materials expended in accordance with Geosyntec Consultants
2014 Rate Schedule. This amount will not be exceeded without prior approval. A
budgetary cost breakdown is presented in Table 1 showing anticipated expenditures of
time and materials. It is understood that reallocation of cost between tasks and subtasks
may occur so long as the total contract amount is not exceeded.
It is the nature of regulatory-driven programs to be subject to uncertainty and
unpredictable events such as changes in regulatory requirements, emerging issues,
enforcement action or third-party lawsuits, or simply additional support required by
City staff that was unanticipated. If such unpredictable event(s) or needs arise,
Geosyntec stands ready to assist the City and, at City staffs request, will submit a
request for an authorization for scope change to provide the City with additional
consulting services to respond to such an increased scope.
