estimated costs for helping you and the City of San Juan Capistrano (City) with the elements outlined in the
Request for Proposal (RFP).
The Amec Foster Wheeler Team assembled to support the City's Environmental and Storm water Quality
Compliance Programs has helped municipalities to comply with the regulatory requirements mandated by
the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board for the past 20 years. Our team members are uniquely
qualified to assist the City given both our individual and cumulative strengths, a history of working in the San
Juan Creek watershed, hands-on experience with the potential challenges ahead for the City during the Water
Quality Improvement Plan (WQ/P) development process, and an extensive work history helping municipalities
navigate the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit.

WQIPs, and Watershed Management Plans are some of the key reasons why we asked him to join the Amec
Foster Wheeler Team and help us to support the City's programs.
The proposed key team members as well as many other staff members within our organization will be
immediately available to perform work on this contract. The number of personnel required for this program is
only a portion of the total number of engineers, scientists, and watershed professionals that are available to

City of San Juan Capistrano— Environmental and Storm Water Quality Program Services J, 1
1. Work Plan and Schedule
Narrative Rendition of the Technical Work
Our proposal to assist with the City's storm water program (Program)focuses on three elements which are;
► First, we propose to provide Program Management support which focuses on tracking, verifying, and
reporting on storm water related activities performed by City staff, and to provide on an as-needed basis,
program training. We intend to help the City implement the storm water program by providing project
management oversight of the activities and programs performed by the City departments including the
Public Works, Utilities, and Community Services departments. Our Program Management services will
include coordination with staff from the other City departments to maintain an up-to-date accounting of the
activities and programs needed for the storm water program.
► Second, we propose to help the City implement the storm water program by providing hands-on services
for activities and programs that are outside of the current availability of other City departments. We will
help implement activities in support of the MS4 permit including but not limited to: Water Quality
Management Plan check services, Commercial and Industrial facility inspections, ID/IC investigations
related to bacteria sources in support of the Bacteria TMDL, Public Education and Outreach Program, and
preparation of the Annual Program Effectiveness Assessment Report. We will also attend the WQIP
development and TMDL stakeholder meetings on as-needed basis per the directions of the Senior Civil
Engineer.
► Third, we propose to help the City complete critical regulatory guidance documents updates in support of
the WQIP submittal to the Regional Board anticipated for early to mid-2017. The regulatory guidance
documents that will be updated include the Local Implementation Plan, BMP Design Manual, and if
necessary, the Comprehensive Load Reduction Plan.
Proposed Approach for Work Plan
Our Work Plan for the storm water program consists of two phases that will be concurrently implemented over
the life cycle of the contract. The two phases consists of a core stormwater and implementation of annual
priority projects.
In phase one, we propose to implement a core storm water program during each fiscal year that includes the
following areas of program support as defined in the RFP;
i. Program Management: Our intention for this element of the program is to assist the Senior Civil
Engineer and the City with the program activities including the evaluation of watershed management
plans, support with the San Juan Creek Bacteria TMDL program, and working with Orange County on
the MS4 monitoring program. Our attendance at the workgroup meetings will provide
recommendations on technical or policy related issues that may influence the City's implementation
strategy for the WQIP. For planning purpose we propose to attend Bacteria
TMDL stakeholder meetings and attend storm water program meetings. We Team Members
will provide a written electronic mail formatted meeting summary if the • Ted Von Bitner
information presented includes a City budget or program implementation • Yvana Hrovat
decision. ■ Paul Hartman
Deliverable: Project summary memorandum or written meeting notes submitted within 10 business
days.
ii. WQMP Plan Check: The WQMP plan checking process represents a Team Members
substantial amount of time for City staff to perform the document reviews. We • Yvana Hrovat
understand the time commitment needed for plan checks and our team • Brent Smith
includes a number of expert members with extensive experience performing
the WQMP reviews. Our support to the City will include providing WQMP plan check support on an
as-needed basis as directed by the Senior Civil Engineer or his appointed program lead. For budget
planning purposes, we propose to provide support on fifteen (15) small WQMP plan checks per year
or up to four (4) hours per event on large WQMPs which will be counted towards the required fifteen
(15) per year. In the event the WQMP requires a revision and resubmittal by the developer or
contractor, the second or subsequent review will be performed by City staff to avoid any potential
representation of Amec Foster Wheeler as an agent or employee of the City.
City of San Juan Capistrano— Environmental and Storm Water Quality Program Services �'
Deliverable: Completion of up to fifteen (15)WQMP reviews.
iii. Public Education and Outreach: The public education program is a central element of the storm
water program. We understand that the education and outreach effort is a key Team Members
communication pathway to businesses, developers, and property owners. We . Ted Von Bitner
will help the City to utilize existing opportunities including but not limited to . Michelle Bowman
sponsored outreach events, public seminars, the City and County websites,
and the ongoing water conservation program to implement the Public Education and Outreach
program mandated by the MS4 permit. We intend to assist the City with outreach events including but
not limited to: the a-waste recycling event in support of stormwater trash management policies,
participation at the Children's Water Festival, Ocean Discovery Institute educational programs, and
the Annual Inner Coastal Clean Up day held on the 3rd Saturday of every September.
To assist the City with the Public Education and Outreach program implementation in year 1, we
propose to develop a set of written guidelines for City staff to record impressions made during the
fiscal year in addition to continuing the Annual Inner Coastal Clean Up event in September. We
additionally propose to help the City develop a method for promoting the Water Quality Improvement
Plan Public Participation process in lieu of sponsoring individual events as previously described.
In the third and fourth year of the agreement, we propose to implement a more formalized program in
response to the reduction that will be recognized with the conclusion of the Public Participation
program. We will help the City to hold up to four(4)outreach events per year.
Deliverable: (Year 1 and 2)written guidelines for City staff to record impressions and participation in
the Annual Inner Coastal Clean Up. (Year 3 and 4) participation in the Annual Inner Coastal Clean
Up and three(3)additional events per year.
iv. Inspection and Database Support
a) Commercial and Industrial Inspections: We intend to continue our Team Members
support with the Commercial and Industrial Inspection program by ■ Brent Smith
inspecting 20 percent of the City's current inventory. The annual number of ■ Mike Lowther
routine inspection needed for permit compliance is approximately forty-five ■ Ellen Smith
(45) based on the current inventory and approximately six (6) follow-up ■ Brad Michael
inspections may be needed.
We propose that the remaining nine (9) inspections may be allocated to performing as-needed
inspections of high priority areas or performing drive-by inspections of high priority geographic
areas. These additional inspections may be allocated towards runoff related issues including but
not limited to; performing follow up inspections of trash accumulating areas, performing drainage
areas surveillance in response to outfalls with persistent non-storm water flows, or for any other
priority water quality condition as directed by the City.
We will continue to review and update the City's current Commercial and Industrial inventory and
work with the City's business license administrator to evaluate bi-annual changes in the inventory
that may need to be included with the storm water program. In addition, during the first year of our
inspection program implementation we will focus on reviewing the results from FY2014-2105
inspections to determine the appropriate Standard Industrial Classification codes for businesses
that should or should not be included in the inventory.
We intend to implement the revised model inspection and reporting format developed by the
County of Orange during the 2015-2016 reporting year. Additionally, we intend to implement a
more robust feedback process into the inspection program whereby the property or business
owners receive a copy of the completed inspection form. We have adopted this approach for
other municipalities and in addition to the outreach and education value the approach has
generated, the feedback process is also considered a valuable method for documenting
compliance with the permit provisions.
Deliverable: Completed forms for up to sixty(60) inspections and submittal of the completed forms to
the property or business owners.
IV
City of San Juan Capistrano— Environmental and Storm Water Quality Program Services
b) Residential Inspections: We propose to support the City with the Mike Lowther
Residential Inspections program by utilizing the existing resources to meet Brenda Stevens
the permit requirements. We will work with the City's water conservation coordinator from the
Utilities Department to track and document outreach events that may be counted towards
compliance with the Residential Inspection, Public Education, and ID/IC program requirements.
Our support will include helping the Utilities Department staff to track and document over-irrigation
prevention incidences, reviewing printed materials for Utility customers and brochures developed
by the Orange County Public Works or the Municipal Water District of Orange County, turf-
replacement locations, and outdoor irrigation system upgrades. We intend to work with the water
conservation coordinator to maintain a GIS based map of the conservation efforts so that we can
develop a prioritization of properties or geographic areas that require frequent intervention to
prevent over-irrigation.
Deliverable: A GIS based map illustrating locations of water conservation program efforts.
c) Municipal Facility Inspections:We propose to support the City with the Team Members
Municipal Facility Inspections program by utilizing the existing resources to Brent Smith
meet the permit requirements. City staff performs the fixed facility and field
program inspections and our support with this program will be help City staff track and document
the completion of inspection results. . We will provide recommendations on additional program
training if our review of the inspection program suggests that additional effort may be needed to
fulfill the compliance requirements of the permit.
Deliverable: One to two page program summary memoranda describing purpose and need for
additional program training within 10 business days of completing program evaluation. Memos are
intended to describe purpose, audience, reason for location, and overall focus of the training event.
V. Illegal Discharge and Illicit Connection Prevention: Our support with the storm water program will
include helping the City to implement a cohesive ID/IC program. Our approach Team Members
includes managing and evaluating data generated by inspections, City's Code . Ted Von Bitner
Enforcement Officers, monitoring results provided by Orange County, using . Corey Elliott
GIS visualization techniques to assess outreach and enforcement efforts,
reviewing and providing comments on the transitional and post approved-WQIP monitoring programs,
and keeping an updated inventory of events and locations using our web-based database system.
Our intent is to utilize the ID/IC program information to assist the City with developing prioritization
strategies for the non-storm water and storm water outfall monitoring and assessment program,
including development of BMP implementation strategies in response to program findings prepared by
the County of Orange.
Deliverable: A summary of ID/IC events and results presented tabular will be included as an MS
Excel attachment to the technical memo developed for Task 4.
In addition to these efforts, we propose to apply the results of the inspections, ID/IC prevention, water
conservation outreach program, and transitional monitoring program so that program compliance efforts can
be related to monitoring results and the permit provisions for assessing jurisdictional contributions to receiving
water conditions. We believe that relating the inspections, water conservation efforts, and monitoring results
represents a more robust approach towards assessing the effectiveness of the City's storm water program
and ultimately meeting the compliance requirements of the permit. We propose to include the GIS based
maps in the Annual Report Executive Manager's Fact Sheet(see item 6 for additional information).
vi. Annual Report Preparation: Under the transitional program, the City will need to continue preparing
the transitional program annual effectiveness assessment report, in a manner similar to the 2014-
2015 report format. This reporting format is anticipated to continue until the FY2017-2018 reporting
year or the approval of the WQIP. The reporting format of the approved WQIP annual reports has not
been developed yet for the Orange County Copermittees, but we propose that in coordination with our
services to the City, we will continue to utilize our contacts from San Diego County municipalities to
review and evaluate the WQIP annual report format. Our intention is to help the Senior Civil Engineer
better estimate the potential program and reporting requirements that may be needed during the
FY2017-2108 and subsequent reporting years for the MS4 program.

report.
vii. General Permit Compliance and Technical Guidance Support: Over the 2015-2016 and 2016-
2017 reporting period we provide advocacy for the City's interest through Team Members
participation in the Orange County WQIP development meetings. For planning . Ted Von Bitner
purposes, we propose to attend six (6) stakeholder meetings per year. Our ■ Yvana Hrovat, PE
support to the City will include attendance at the Public Participation events, a Paul Hartman
which are required as part of the development process.
During the 2016-2017 reporting year, in coordination with the submittal of the Orange County WQIP,
the City will need to update the Local Implementation Plan and BMP Design Manual. Our team has
hands-on experience performing these guidance document updates for municipalities in San Diego
County and can draw upon those lessons learned to provide efficient and cost-effective updates to the
City's plans.
Deliverables:
Draft and final BMP Design Manual adapted for City implementation
Draft and final Local Implementation Plan compliant with R9-2015-0100
Program Suggestions
The storm water program described in the previous section represents the core program that we intend to
implement on an annual basis. Likewise, Amec Foster Wheeler is committed to helping our clients look for
ways to increase the utilization of existing resources, make minor modifications to improve the effectiveness
of their program, or to adapt permit requirements into the existing program. The Amec Foster Wheeler Team
recognizes the City's unique opportunities and challenges and proposes the following phase 2 activities as
part of the overall program implementation. The projects and activities identified in this section are intended
to help the City work towards alternative compliance solutions, improve the cost-effectiveness of the current
program, and to make milestone program updates.
FY2015-2016
(Scope of Services Item 4) Start-up of a web-based Inspection Database: During Team Members
the 2015-2016 reporting year, we propose to migrate the City's current inspection - Brad Michael
program into a proprietary web-based database system. This automated system is . Corey Elliott
currently being implemented into the City of Santa Ana's inspection program and we
propose to utilize the program for the City of San Juan Capistrano, which will also follow the model program
developed by the County of Orange. Only a minor modification is required to adapt the database system to
the San Diego Region MS4 permit requirements.
This new system developed by Amec Foster Wheeler has been adopted for a wide variety of projects
including wastewater and drinking water infrastructure mapping projects, storm drain system monitoring
projects, restaurant, automotive, and commercial business inspection programs, a storm water treatment
system inspection program, and more recently a large scale environmental study.
This smart-phone based program allows field inspectors to integrate observations, photographs, and
inspection findings into a single unified electronic record. The benefit to the City for adopting this type of
database system is the flexibility to create a central information system for all inspection programs including
but not limited to: commercial, industrial, residential, construction, municipal, and FOG inspection programs.
Our database system has the option of integrating inspections results onto a GIS platform and can provide
standard reporting outputs in both tabular and graphical formats. Our database program additionally has the
ability to create an inspection schedule for the City PM to review in advance and can send email notifications
to the City PM when inspections are complete and/or to Code Enforcement Officers when a discharge event is
observed during the field program.
(Scope of Services Item 5) ID/IC Investigation at TMDL Outfalls in San Juan Creek: f Team Members
Preventing human associated bacteria sources from the entering the storm drain . Ted Von Bitner
system represents one of the key strategies for changing the Bacteria TMDL - Darcy Ebentier
implementation requirements. We recognize an opportunity for the City to adapt the . Paul Hartman
current Sanitary Sewer Management Plan to support the City's implementation
City of San Juan Capistrano— Environmental and Storm Water Quality Program Services ,
perform a desktop based analysis of the drainage areas within the three priority outfalls identified during the
2011 Doheny Beach/San Juan Creek Source Identification Pilot Project lead by the State Water Resources
Control Board. Our support with this project is intended to assist the City with identifying potential wastewater
infiltration into the storm drain system and to address the high-risk sources of bacteria from these outfalls as
part of the non-storm water discharges monitoring program lead by the County of Orange. This work will
directly support the implementation of the Bacteria TMDL program.
Deliverable: A brief project summary will be included as part of the annual Jurisdictional Runoff Management
Program annual report submitted to the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
(Scope of Services Item 7) Construction Inspection Program Review: The City has Team Members
implemented a construction inspection program which is currently led by the Building - Brent Smith
Inspectors section. Our review of the program during 2014-2015 suggested that - Anna Wemet
additional documentation should be generated to fulfill the MS4 permit compliance - Mike Lowther
requirements. We propose to support the City with the Construction Inspections
program by utilizing the existing resources to meet the permit requirements. We will work with the City's
Building Inspectors from the Community Services Department to develop an enhanced tracking and
documentation process to be counted towards the Construction Management program requirements. We will
provide recommendations on additional program training if our review of the inspection program suggests that
additional effort may be needed to fulfill the compliance requirements of the permit. We will continue to review
and update the City's current Construction inventory and work with the inspectors to evaluate changes in the
inventory that may need to be included with the annual report.
Deliverable: One to two page program summary memoranda describing purpose and need for additional
program training within 10 business days of completing program evaluation. Memos are intended to describe
purpose, audience, reason for location, and overall focus of the training event.
FY2017-2018
The 2017-2018 reporting year will bring several potential priorities for the City. Given the uncertainty of the
formal approval process, the 2017-2018 reporting period may include the following major program elements;
o� The Regional Board may approve the Orange County WQIP, which will require the City's program to adapt
to new compliance implementation and reporting requirements, and
o- The State Water Resources Control Board is expected to open the solicitation for municipalities to apply for
Proposition 1 (Prop 1)funding opportunities during calendar year 2018. As both a public utility agency and
storm water regulated agency, the Prop 1 funding program offers enhanced opportunities for the City to
implement storm water capture based BMPs conceptualized as part of the WQIP development process.
While these two issues may require attention during the 2017-2018 reporting year, at this time we do not have
formal information to suggest these processes will not occur during the reporting year nor can we presently
anticipate the program requirements that may need to be implemented. We propose that the 2017-2018
reporting year effort should focus on implementing the core storm water program until such time that we have
a better understanding of the timelines for the above activities. We propose to continue tracking these
important items and will work with the Senior Civil Engineer should these priorities occur during the reporting
period.
FY2018-2019
The 2018-2019 reporting year will also present several potential priorities for the City. Given the uncertainty
of the formal approval process, the 2017-2018 reporting period may include the following major program
elements;
op- The Regional Board has informally announced they are likely to include the statewide amendments on
trash control into the MS4 permit with the adoption process expected in late 2018, and
While these issues may require attention during the 2018-2019 reporting year, at this time we do not have
formal information to suggest these processes will not occur during the reporting year nor can we presently
anticipate the program requirements that may need to be implemented. We propose that the 2018-2019
reporting year effort should focus on implementing the core storm water program until such time that we have
a better understanding of the timelines for the above activities. We propose to continue tracking these
important items and will work with the Senior Civil Engineer should these priorities occur during the reporting
period.

Quality Assurance Review
Water quality plans and reports are typically complicated documents that require input from a number of
experts and include analysis of data from multiple sources. The Amec Foster Wheeler Team has developed a
document production and review process over years of working with a large number of team members to
produce coherent documents with a consistent voice.
The process begins with task leads and key experts drafting specific portions of a document with staff
assistance. The Project Manager coordinates this stage of the process by communicating the overall goals of
the document and providing clear direction for the content of each component. The Project Manager and
Project Principal review these components during their development and guide the task leads toward the
overall goals. A senior engineer or scientist is assigned to compile the various portions of the document. Once
compiled, a technical editor reviews the document for consistency in terminology, voice, grammar, and
accessibility. Our approach has helped us to consistently deliver high quality documents that meet or exceeds
