CC - Item 5G - Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with CWE Corporation for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit Compliance ServicesROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: BEN KIM, CITY MANAGERV---, DATE: DECEMBER 9, 2025 SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CWE CORPORATION FOR MUNICIPAL SEPARATE STORM SEWER SYSTEM (MS4) PERMIT COMPLIANCE SERVICES SUMMARY On September 27, 2022, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with CWE Corporation for services related to the Municipal Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit compliance assistance. The PSA is set to expire on December 31, 2025, and allows for up to two 18-month extensions (or 36-months) at the City's sole discretion. CWE has requested an extension for an additional 18 months, through June 30, 2027. The extension period will be from January 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, the contract compensation will be in the amount of $249,999. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an Amendment to the PSA with CWE for MS4 Permit services for one (1) additional 18-month term. BACKGROUND On November 8, 2012, the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region (Water Board) adopted the new county wide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (Permit) for the County, the County Flood Control District, and 84 of the 88 incorporated cities within Los Angeles County. This Permit became effective on December 28, 2012, and gave the permittees options for complying with the Permit. On July 27, 2013, the City of Rosemead chose to join the City of Los Angeles along with 17 other agencies to form the Upper Los Angeles River (ULAR) Watershed Management Plan (WMP) group to conform to the Permit requirements. As of July 23, 2021, the fifth term of the Permit was adopted. The mandated compliance with the MS4 Permit is specialized and complex. Requirements include stormwater runoff quality testing and reporting, industrial/commercial facility inspections, City staff/contractor education and training, community outreach, compliance with numerical limits set by Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), and collaboration among permittees and regional agencies. The City has utilized numerous firms to assist with MS4 Permit support services over the year and has retained CWE to manage the City's MS4 Permit program activities since 2018. AGENDA ITEM 5.G City Council Meeting December 9, 2025 Page 2 of 3 DISCUSSION CWE has submitted a proposal requesting to extend their existing PSA to continue providing NPDES and MS4 Permit compliance assistance through June 30, 2027. This contract extension will ensure that the City of Rosemead continues to meet state -mandated regulatory requirements for FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27. CWE is a well -established civil and environmental engineering firm specializing in water resource management, stormwater quality, and regulatory compliance for municipal agencies. The firm brings extensive technical and regulatory expertise related specifically to NPDES and MS4 Permit requirements, making them uniquely qualified to support the City's ongoing compliance needs. To date, CWE has successfully completed numerous critical NPDES and MS4 compliance tasks for Rosemead, including the preparation of MS4 Annual Compliance Reports, development of Safe Clean Water (SCW) Program Annual Plans and Expenditure Reports, technical review of development projects to ensure stormwater compliance, completion of more than 300 Industrial/Commercial Facilities Program inspections, preparation of public outreach and educational materials for facility inspections, participation in City community events, workshops, and regional water -quality group meetings. Additionally, CWE played a key role in helping the City apply for and successfully secure a $400K grant for a feasibility study to install stormwater capture infrastructure at Klingerman Park, as part of the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Stormwater Investment Plans for the Safe, Clean Water Program's Regional Program. Given CWE's proven performance, institutional knowledge, and technical depth, continuing to retain their services is the most advantageous and cost-effective option for the City. Extending the contract will allow Rosemead to maintain consistent compliance, minimize regulatory risk, and continue advancing stormwater quality goals in alignment with state and regional requirements. STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize an amendment to the agreement with CWE for MS4 permit services, extending services for an additional 18 months, through June 30, 2027. The total annual compensation for the period of January 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, will be in the amount of $249,999. FISCAL IMPACT There is no impact to the General Fund. Funding for MS4 program services was included as a part of the City's Fiscal Year 2025-26 Operating Budget and would utilize Measure W — Safe Clean Water Program Funds. City Council Meeting December 9, 2025 Page 3 of 3 ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as it constitutes an administrative activity of the City involving general policy direction and does not commit the City to a specific project or result in a physical change to the environment at this time. As such, the action does not meet the definition of a "project" under CEQA, and no environmental review is required at this stage. Should the City move forward with the implementation of a specific stormwater project as a result of this direction, the proposed project will be evaluated for environmental impacts in accordance with CEQA at that time. STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT Approval of this stormwater compliance contract is Strategic Plan, Goal C: Infrastructure and Facilities, conscious community through ongoing improvement with state and federal stormwater (NPDES) regulations. PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS consistent with the City of Rosemead's by supporting a safe, active, and climate - of public infrastructure and compliance This item has been noticed through the regular agenda notification process.

Valley Boulevard Rosemead, California 91770 MS4P and SCWP Professional Compliance and Support Services Proposal Dear Sam, On August 8, 2022, the City of Rosemead issued Request For Proposals (RFP) No. 2022-18, to provide of Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit Professional Services, for an initial term of three, and potentially five, years. The City received four proposals, with CWE's determined to be most qualified, and on September 27, 2022, the City Council awarded CWE a Professional Services Agreement (PSA). The CWE proposal followed eighteen month, July first to December thirty first of the following year, State Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles (LARWQCB) 2021 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit (MS4P) cycles, which misalign with City of Rosemead Fiscal Year (FY)-based budgeting and contracting practices. Additionally, the requirements of the Los Angeles County Safe Clean Water Program (SCWP) Municipal Program Transfer Agreement (MPTA)1, which annually provides the City of Rosemead with approximately $580,000.00 in program support, have grown beyond what was anticipated in the original RFP and PSA. For these reasons, CWE was asked to provide this revised proposal, for MS4P and SCWP MPTA compliance and support services to be provided from January 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. CWE submits this proposal as our continued commitment to providing the leadership and resources necessary to promote timely and responsive services that benefit your City and community — so that we are Creating A Better Tomorrow, TodayTM together. We look forward to maintaining our relationship with the City and welcome the opportunity to further discuss our qualifications.

Respectfully submitted, 0 4 Gerald Greene, DEnv, PE CWE Director Stormwater 1 https://safecleanwaterla.org/ "Creating a Better Tomorrow, Today?M" N A ' a City of Rosemead Proposal to Provide MS4P and SCWP MPTA Professional Compliance and Support Services 1. Approach and Scope of Work Since 1990, the State of California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region (LARWQCB) has issued increasingly more complex Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits (MS4P) to Los Angeles and Ventura County Permittees, including the City of Rosemead (City). The 2012 MS4 NPDES Permit encouraged Permittees to form Watershed Management Program (WMP) Groups and develop implementation plans to achieve regional Water Quality Objectives (WQOs). Led by the City of Los Angeles, seventeen agencies, including the City of Rosemead, formed the Upper Los Angeles River (ULAR) WMP Group and March 29, 2016, ULAR EWMP Plan, approved by the LARWQCB Executive Officer on April 20, 2016, estimated City of Rosemead twenty- year, hundred acre feet capture volume, implementation project costs of approximately $110M. On July 23, 2021, the LARWQCB adopted its fifth term MS4P, as Order R4-2021-0105, which became effective on September 11, 2021. The revised December 19, 2023, ULAR WMP implementation Plan, approved by the LARWQCB Executive Officer on April 2, 2024, identified City of Rosemead 48.5 acre-feet runoff capture volume, thirteen -year, implementation project costs of approximately $70M. In contrast, the Los Angeles County, Safe Clean Water Program (SCWP), Municipal Program Transfer Agreement (MPTA), annual disbursement averages just $0.57M. On August 29, 2018, June 30, 2019, June 23, 2020, and September 7, 2021, the Rosemead City Council authorized issuance of annual cost-effective MS4P Professional Service Agreements (PSAs) with CWE, significantly repaid from the County SCWP MPTA. Municipalities, like the City of Rosemead, and their PSA consultants must be flexible and pragmatic in addressing evolving federal and state regulatory requirements. CWE assists baseline, small, medium, and large Watershed Management Program (WMP) Permittees, in furthering agency program objectives, by using cost-effective implementation strategies and matching our efforts to agency priorities and needs. When redevelopment declined, CWE shifted our resources to preparing an inventory of six Regional Best Management Practice (BMP) water quality capture facility locations to achieve LARWQCB WMP Plan goals of capturing 50 acre-feet of runoff; this in contrast with the twenty-eight facilities and 350 acre-feet of capacity identified in the ULAR WMP Pre-Stormwater Investment Program (Pre -SIP) draft Plan. Following receipt of the City Notice to Proceed (NTP), CWE will promptly meet with City Project Manager to identify upcoming priorities and develop a strategy to implement the following MS4 NPDES Permit services. Task 1 - Meetings CWE will attend monthly ULAR WMP Group, bimonthly Los Angeles Permit Group (LAPG), ad hoc, and up to twenty four (24) City Council, Staff, SCWP, or LARWQCB MS4 Permit meetings, from January 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, to identify cost-effective ULAR WMP and MS4 Permit implementation strategies. We have budgeted one hundred forty-four (144) hours for preparation, remote meetings, and task follow up. Task 2 - SCWP Municipal Program Transfer Agreement Assistance CWE has assisted the City of Rosemead in cumulatively receiving over $3.4M in Los Angeles County SCWP MPTA disbursements, by preparing Annual (budget) Plans, Metrics & Measures, Deviation, and Annual (expenditure) Reports. Based on staff priorities, CWE will continue with annually preparing and timely submitting these plans and reports, while assisting staff in documenting program expenditures. . A ' City of Rosemead Proposal to Provide MS4P and SCWP MPTA Professional Compliance and Support Services Task 3 - City Staff and Contractor Training Part VIII.A.3. of the 2021 LARWQCB MS4P requires annual City and contractor staff training in: Pesticide and Fertilizer Application Controls; Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE); Construction and Erosion Source Controls; and Industrial/Commercial (I/C) Facilities Programs. Consultants that provide these services may self -certify as to their staff training. CWE provides MS4P I/C Facility and Pre -storm Construction Site Inspections and will provide self -certifications City Annual MS4P Compliance Report inclusion. CWE assumes the Building & Safety consultant will similarly provide their self -certification. In consultation with Field Supervisors, CWE will continue to annually provide IDDE and Pesticide/Fertilizer Source Control training to City, or contractor, staff. For efficiency, this will be scheduled at either the beginning or end of a shift. These two-hour presentations are made by Senior CWE Management staff, experienced with both private and public agency examples, using an engaging, locally relevant, Microsoft PowerPoint° presentation for between five and twenty remote participants or at an adequately equiped City facility. The presentation begins with regulatory rationale and requirements, progressing to illustrative case studies. Six slide per page handouts are distributed for those wishing to take notes or write questions, along with a participation sign -in sheet to include with the annual report. Participants are encouraged to ask questions and provide relevant examples for an informative training session. Task 4 - Public Information and Participation Program (PIPP) Part VIII.D of the LARWQCB 2021 MS4P identifies the need for "culturally effective", such as various Asian and Hispanic language, outreach efforts and materials to control specific exemplary and locally relevant categories of stormwater pollutants; including documentation and informative tracking of those cumulative activities. CWE will assist City Staff in revising outreach materials to better convey current staff goals and objectives, then distribute those materials during I/C, construction site, post -construction BMP, and IDDE inspections. CWE staff will also participate in community events, such as Saint Pawtricks, Parks Make Life Better, or National Night Out, using enviroscape models to interact with young residents. Task 5 - Industrial/Commercial (I/C) Facilities Program During biannual Rounds 1 and 2 MS4P I/C Facility Program inspections CWE visited over three hundred (300) commercial and fifteen (15) Industrial General Permit (IGP) facilities, expanding the MS4P required City GIS-based Tracking Database to nearly 1,300 records. CWE will undertake a similar number of Round 3 I/C Facilities Program inspections, following the progressive enforcement protocols, of MS4P Parts VIII.B. and Part VIII.E. This would include any City identified new or replacement licensees or SB- 205/891 IGP non -filer scofflaws. Inspections are completed using a tablet device with city forms, images, and enforcement notifications, provided digitally to the business and City, along with updated GIS-based inventory on an annual basis. Facilities inspected by the Water Board staff and reported in SMARTS, will not be reinspected for at least six (6) months following the completion of those inspections. CWE will provide the MS4P required self -certification of inspector training, for annual compliance report inclusion. r , A � e City of Rosemead Proposal to Provide MS4P and SCWP MPTA Professional Compliance and Support Services Task 6 - Priority Redevelopment Program Planning CWE would annually provide up to six (6) timely, less than five (5) acre, Priority Redevelopment, Low Impact Development (LID), or General Construction Permit (GCP) Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) plan checks under the direction of a state certified Qualified SWPPP Developer or Practitioner (QSD/P). Written comments are normally returned within two (2) weeks of receipt by CWE, although extension may be required when preparing compliance submittals. Review time would be reported to the City Project Manager, upon request, to allow recharging to the project proponents. Available required data would be inserted into the Watershed Reporting Adaptive Management & Planning System (WRAMPS) or other Permit -compliant GIS-based tracking database and annually provided to the City for WMP progress and compliance reporting or regulatory audits. Task 7 - Construction and Post- Construction BMP Inspections CWE will annually provide up to four (4) MS4 Permit Priority Project LID, Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP), Construction General Permit (CGP), or City Project BMP Pre -storm Inspections, under the direction of a CWE QSD/P. Correction or violation notices with images, that result from these inspections, will be forwarded to the City for signature and delivery. Inspection data will be provided to the City Project Manager within one week of inspection. Over three (3) days, CWE will perform on -site reviews of City assembled, SUSMP, SWPPP, BMP design, and maintenance covenants for CGP and Priority Projects within the City, then use Best Professional Judgment (BPJ) to assess post -construction BMP implementation, maintenance, and effectiveness. CWE will record our Post -Construction BMP inspection observations, and tracking data, as identified in the MS4 Permit, and provide the City with GIS shape and database files. Finally, CWE will provide the City with digital records of our observational photographs, completed inspection forms, and any corrective enforcement actions initiated. Task 8 - Los Angeles River Trash TMDL Compliance In 2021, CWE drafted, submitted for LARWQCB review, and provided City Staff implementation and reporting guidance regarding the Sally Tanner Park Minimum Frequency of Assessment and Collection (MFAC) procedures. We provided another City Consultant with Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) data for its 2022 City Council approved Bid Package. These Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) have just been reissued for public comment and LARWQCB adoption. CWE will annually provide up to forty (40) hours of Trash TMDL compliance services that may include: 1) LARWQCB Trash TMDL Annual Compliance Reporting; 2) Identification and verification of undocumented catch basins; 3) Assessment of catch basin trash levels; 4) Identification of suitable Daily Generation Rate (DGR) study locations; and 5) collecting of physical data from structural deficient catch basins to support reconstruction design and bid documents. Task 9 - Illicit Discharge Detection Elimination (IDDE) Investigations CWE will provide up to thirty-six (36) hours of timely, remote, or onsite IDDE support services on a 24 hour per day/365 day per year basis; emphasizing public outreach, BMP recommendation, permit and regulatory agency compliance reporting. Enforcement responsibilities would be shared with the City Code Enforcement Officers. Additional services would be provided on a time and materials basis. aCity of Rosemead Proposal to Provide MS4P and SCWP MPTA Professional Compliance and Support Services :�7--- 7 Task 10 - WMP Progress and Annual MS4P Compliance Reporting For the July 1, to December 31, 2025, January 1, to June 30, 2026, and July 1, to December 31, 2026, service periods, CWE will assist City Staff in preparing its ULAR WMP Progress Report submittals, due to ULAR during the early Spring or Fall, and LARWQCB on June and December fifteenth. CWE will also assist in preparing the July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, Annual MS4 Permit Compliance Report due on the following December fifteenth. CWE will transcribe City data using the Los Angeles County Watershed Reporting Adaptive Management & Planning System (WRAMPS) application and forms, resorting to Microsoft Word®, Excel°, and Portable Document formats to assist City Staff in making timely progress. Access to the electronic version of the submitted, reports will be provided to City Staff. Limitations and Assumptions As requested, CWE proposes a January 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, Professional Services Agreement (PSA) term, to coincide with the City's July 1st to June 30th Fiscal Years. CWE has utilized the following proposal assumptions to reduce our risks and your budget commitments during this PSA contract term: 1. This proposal does not address separate agreements between the City and any WMP Group or the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) on behalf of a WMP Group. 2. This proposal excludes regulatory and implementation priority changes initiated by the SWRCB, LARWQCB, ULAR or other WMP Group, legislature, or the City. Such actions may be addressed by agreed upon changes in budget or task work, or through a separate agreement with the City. 3. An Outfall Inventory and Non-Stormwater Discharge Elimination Survey is required following ULAR CIMP approval. This work and the required access permits are not included. 4. Installation of Full Capture System (FCS) Connector Pipe Screens are being addressed through the City Capital Improvement Program (CIP), using SCWP MPTA support. 5. Development of an alternative WMP implementation strategy is beyond this Scope of Work. 6. City Encroachment or Access Permits will be issued as no fee Permits. 7. The December 15, 2027, MS4P Annual Reporting of fiscal year 2026-27 MS4P tasks, is excluded. -4- r < rJF 31 >s. VA r k, (CWE M City of Rosemead Proposal to Provide MS4P and SCWP MPTA Professional Compliance and Support Services •r K� 2. Cost Proposal Our cost proposal for the period from January 1, 2026, until June 30, 2027, assumes no significant changes in implementation of the City MS4P Program. This proposal is good for ninety (90) days from the cover letter date of October 31, 2025. The LARWQCB is currently taking three or four years to review submittals and may require implementation of new program elements with little or no advance notice. Furthermore, we have encouraged the City to consider timely implementation of future Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), Receiving Water and Water Quality Based Effluent Limitations (RWLs & WQBELs), which the Board began to enforce over twenty months ago; however, this effort appears to have now stalled due to conflicting regulatory and enforcement priorities. The City also requested that CWE assist in preparation of a SCWP Technical Resource Application, just prior to the application date, which is moving through the SCWP Regional BMP funding process and scheduled for County Board of Supervisor (BOS) consideration on November 4, 2025. Ignoring these and other potential new City priorities, our budget is $249,999.00 for the period from January 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.

Valley Boulevard Rosemead, California 91770 Proposal to Provide Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit Professional Compliance and Support Services (RFP No. 2022-18) Dear Michael Chung, For many firms, stormwater management is a sideline niche; however, CWE was founded specifically to provide specialized National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) services to public agencies, and our clients trust us to initiate and complete complex stormwater planning assessments, even when no precedent exists. We have developed and implemented comprehensive stormwater management programs for over 50 Southern California municipalities, many of whom are within Los Angeles County limits that require extensive coordination with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Our extensive expertise in stormwater management and Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit compliance is the foundation upon which our civil, environmental, and water resource practices were built. CWE would be honored to continue serving the City of Rosemead (City) using our MS4 Permit compliance expertise, along with attending to and supporting the City's many industrial and commercial business owners and operators in complying with complex and confusing MS4 Permit regulatory and reporting requirements. CWE submits this proposal as our continued commitment to providing the leadership and resources necessary to promote timely and responsive services that benefit your City and community — so that we are Creating A Better Tomorrow, TodayT14 together. We look forward to maintaining our strong relationship with the City and welcome the opportunity to further discuss our qualifications. If you have questions or require additional information, please contact me at (714) 526-7500 Ext. 211 or jpereira@cwecorp.com.

Appendix A — Resumes CWE +, city of Rosemead Proposal to Provide Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit Professional +; Compliance and Support Services (RFP No. 2022-18) 1. Approach, and Scope of Work Since 1990, the State of California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region (LARWQCB) has issued progressively more challenging MS4 NPDES Permits to Los Angeles and Ventura County municipal Permittees, including the City of Rosemead (City). On July 23, 2021, the LARWQCB adopted its fifth term permit as Order R4-2021--0105, which became effective on September 11, 2021. The 2012 MS4 NPDES Permit encouraged Permittees to form Watershed Management Program (WMP), or Enhanced WMP (EWMP), groups and develop implementation plans to achieve regional Water Quality Objectives (WQOs). The City of Rosemead, along with fifteen other cities, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW), and Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD), formed the Upper Los Angeles River (ULAR) EWMP Group, led by the City of Los Angeles. The ULAR EWMP Plan, approved by the LARWQCB Executive Officer on April 20, 2016, identified potential twenty-year City project implementation costs at $110M, while the June 30, 2021, Draft revised ULAR EWMP Plan, identified the need for approximately 48.5 acre-feet of runoff capture volume, at a cost of at least $70M. In comparison, the Los Angeles County Safe Clean Water Program (SCWP) Municipal Program Transfer Agreement (MPTA), annually only returns approximately $580,000 to the City of Rosemead. Over the last several years, CWE has increasingly assisted the City of Rosemead with MS4 Permit Compliance and related Support Services, including the recovery of nearly a quarter million dollars, in prior City General Fund expenditures, through the SCWP MPTA. On August 29, 2018, June 30, 2019, June 23, 2020, and September 7, 2021, the Rosemead City Council authorized City Management to proceed with the issuance of MS4 NPDES Permit Professional Services Agreements (PSA) with CWE. Stormwater management and MS4 NPDES Permit compliance requires agencies and their consultants to be flexible and pragmatic to continually changing regulatory requirements and conditions. CWE assists baseline, small, medium, and large Watershed Management Program (WMP) Permittees, including the City of Rosemead, by furthering agency program objectives using cost-effective implementation strategies. Last year, CWE performed twice the proposed number of Low Impact Development (LID) plan checks, developed the Sally Tanner Park Trash Minimum Frequency of Assessment and Collection (MFAC) Program for City Staff Implementation, submitted the first SCWP MPTA cost recovery Plan, and prepared an inventory of six Regional Best Management Practice (BMP) water quality capture facility locations to achieve the LARWQCB required Reasonable Assurance Analysis (RAA) model goal of 50 acre- feet of runoff capture by the City; in contrast with the twenty-eight facilities and 350 acre-feet of capacity determined in the ULAR WMP Pre-Stormwater Investment Program (Pre -SIP) draft Plan. Following receipt of the City Notice to Proceed (NTP), CWE will promptly meet with City Project Manager to identify upcoming priorities and develop a strategy to implement the following MS4 NPDES Permit services. Task 1 - Meetings CWE has been and will continue to attend monthly ULAR WMP Group, pre -SIP, and Load Reduction Strategy Alternative (LRS-Alt), bimonthly Los Angeles Permit Group (LAPG), and up to four (4) City Council, City Staff, SCWP, or LARWQCB MS4 Permit meetings annually. Participation allows CWE to identify cost-effective ULAR WMP and MS4 Permit implementation strategies for Staff adoption. We have budgeted forty-eight (48) hours for remote meetings and follow up activities annually. CWZ i, City of Rosemead v� Proposal to Provide Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit Professional Compliance and Support Services (RFP No. 2022-18) Task 2 - Safe Clean Water Program Assistance CWE has assisted the City in securing $1.71VI in support by drafting the City FY 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23 SCWP MPTA Plans, due on the April 15t prior each fiscal year. CWE also prepared the FY 2020- 21 SCWP MPTA Report, which, like future reports, is due on December 15t' following the fiscal year. Based primarily on City directions, CWE will continue in annually preparing these plans and reports. Since funds not expended within three (3) years must be returned to the SCWP, one of our objectives for this year is to assist City Staff in better planning, budgeting, documenting, and accounting for the use of the support. Task 3 - City Staff and Contractor Training Part VIII.A.3. of the 2021 LARWQCB MS4 NPDES Permit requires that City Staff and contractors be trained in; Pesticide/Fertilizer Source Controls; Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE); Construction and Erosion Source Controls; and Industrial/Commercial (I/C) Facilities Programs. Following Field Supervisorial personnel scheduling, either at the beginning or end of a shift for staffing efficiency, CWE made these two-hour presentations, before being suspended due to the pandemic and extensive City Staff changes. These presentations are made by QSD/P or QISP-certified Senior CWE Management, experienced with both private and public agency examples, using an engaging, locally relevant, Microsoft PowerPoint© presentation for between five and twenty City Staff either remotely or at a City facility with adequate equipment. The presentation begins with regulatory rationale and requirements, before moving on to illustrative case studies. Six slide per page handouts are distributed for those wishing to take notes or write questions, along with a participation sign -in sheet to include with the annual report. City staff and contractors are encouraged to ask questions, resulting in an informative training session that maintains staff attention. Task 4 - Public Information and Participation Program (PIPP) Part VIII.D of the tentative fifth term MS4 NPDES Permit identifies the need for "culturally effective", such as various Asian and Hispanic languages , outreach efforts and materials to control specific exemplary and locally relevant categories of stormwater pollutants; including documentation and informative tracking of those cumulative activities. CWE will meet with City Staff to review the previously prepared outreach materials and determine how they might be revised to better convey City goals and objectives, then revise and distribute those materials during I/C, construction site, post -construction BMP, and IDDE inspections. Task 5 - Industrial/Commercial (I/C) Facilities Program CWE recently completed more than two hundred (200) I/C Facility Program inspections, expanding the City GIS-based Tracking Database to over eight hundred (800) inspection records of the approximately three hundred (300) commercial and fifteen (15) Industrial General Permit (IGP) facilities in the City. If selected, we will continue implementing the I/C Facilities Program and Progressive Enforcement requirements, found in Part VIII.E. and Part VIII.B. respectively, of the 2021 LARWQCB MS4 NPDES Permit. This includes reviewing the City Business License database for new or replacement I/C facilities, inclusion of City identified SB-205 and SB-891 IGP scofflaws, and the State Stormwater Multiple CWZ t A City of Rosemead -\\ Proposal to Provide Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit Professional Compliance and Support Services (RFP No. 2022-18) t Application and Reporting Tracking System (SMARTS), excluding IGP Permittees jurisdictional within adjacent communities, but claiming City or Rosemead residency. Based on enhanced biannual (alternating year) requirements, CWE would annually notify approximately one hundred sixty (160) I/C Facilities, using City approved verbiage and letterhead sent by United States Postal Service (USPS) first class mail of planned visits; then conduct up to two hundred (200) initial and progressive enforcement inspections. Scanned inspection forms, images, and enforcement notifications, would then be digitally provided to the City, along the updated GIS-based inventory on, at minimum, an annual basis. New Inspections of compliant facilities, or those inspected by the Water Board and reported in SMARTS, will not be reinspected for at least six (6) months from the time the prior inspection(s) were completed. Task 6 - Redevelopment Planning CWE would provide up to eight (8) timely, less than five (5) acre, Priority Redevelopment, Low Impact Development (LID), or General Construction Permit (GCP) Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) plan checks under the direction of a state certified Qualified SWPPP Developer or Practitioner (QSD/P). Written comments are normally returned within two (2) weeks of receipt by CWE, although extension may be required when preparing compliance submittals. Review time would be reported to the City Project Manager, upon request, to allow recharging to the project proponents. Available required data would be inserted into the Watershed Reporting Adaptive Management & Planning System (WRAMPS) or other Permit -compliant GIS-based tracking database and annually provided to the City for WMP progress and compliance reporting or regulatory audits. Task 7 - Redevelopment Construction Inspections CWE will annually provide up to four (4) MS4 Permit Priority Project LID, Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP), Construction General Permit (CGP), or City Project BMP Inspections, under the direction of a CWE QSD/P. Correction or violation notices with images, that result from these inspections, will be forwarded to the City for signature and delivery. Inspection data will be provided to the City Project Manager within one week of inspection. Task 8 - Post- Construction BMP Inspections Over three (3) days, CWE will perform on -site reviews of City assembled, SUSMP, SWPPP, BMP design, and maintenance covenants for CGP and Priority Projects within the City, then use Best Professional Judgment (BPJ) to assess post -construction BMP implementation, maintenance, and effectiveness. CWE will record our Post -Construction BMP inspection observations, and tracking data, as identified in the MS4 Permit, and provide the City with GIS shape and database files. Finally, CWE will provide the City with digital records of our observational photographs, completed inspection forms, and any corrective enforcement actions initiated. Task 9 - Regional BMP Development Opportunities The 2016 ULAR EWMP Plan, approved by the LARWQCB Executive Officer on April 20, 2016, committed the City to implement challenging water quality protection and pollution source control measures by 2028, due to the Los Angeles River (LAR) Watershed Metals TMDL and 2037, due the LAR Bacteria TMDL. CWE City of Rosemead Proposal to Provide Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit Professional Compliance and Support Services (RFP No. 2022-18) The City summary', on Table 7A-33, identified the need for 106 acre-feet of runoff capture volume, spread among 31 "jurisheds", to attain storm event capture volume compliance criteria; alternatively, 79 acre-feet of appropriately distributed capture volume was projected to achieve Basin Plan identified, concentration based, Water Quality Objectives (WQOs). For both of these capture volumes, the goals were "front -loaded" with the majority of volume being required by 2028, while the last 14 acre-feet, were required by 2037 to comply with the Bacteria TMDL, In contrast, Figure 7-24 from the revised June 2021 ULAR WMP Plan, which is expected to soon be conditionally approved by the LARWQCB Executive Officer, identified less than 50 acre-feet of required capture volume within the City and less than half of that by 2028. To implement this revised ULAR WMP Plan, the draft ULAR pre -SIP identified 28 potential and unprioritized projects for the City of Rosemead, that would manage up to 350 acre-feet of runoff; values far greater than identified in the soon to be approved revised WMP Plan and likely to overwhelm the attention of City and consultant staff. CWE prepared, for City Staff review and comment, a concept or preliminary evaluation of five potential Regional BMP Projects with recommended implementation priorities. CWE also expanded the City Priority Project Planning Review process to include Permit required stormwater management measures in Condition Use Permits (CUPS) for Planning Commission consideration. Finally, we summarized the 28 potential projects, in the draft ULAR pre -SIP study, in a way that prioritizes them for staff evaluation. Based on City Staff input and the upcoming 2028 Metals TMDL compliance deadline, that will likely be reiterated in the LARWQCB Executive Officer 2021 rWMP Conditional Approval letter, CWE will prepare one Project Feasibility Study, including project phasing, to support the preparation of grant and SCWP regional BMP design and construction applications during the next submittal date in July of 2023. Task 10 - Los Angeles River Trash TMDL Compliance In 2021, CWE drafted, submitted for LARWQCB review, and provided City Staff implementation and reporting guidance regarding the Sally Tanner Park Minimum Frequency of Assessment and Collection (MFAC) procedures. We provided another City Consultant with Bid Package information that was anticipated would lead to issuance of a County Construction Permit in early 2022. CWE will provide up to twenty (20) hours of Trash TMDL compliance services that may include: 1) revision of LARWQCB Trash TMDL Annual Compliance Reporting; 2) the Identification and verification of undocumented catch basins; 3) assessment of catch basin trash levels; 4) identification of locations suitable for Daily Generation Rate (DGR) studies; and 5) collecting of physical data from structural deficient catch to support reconstruction design and bid documents. Task 11 - Illicit Discharge Detection Elimination (IDDE) Investigations CWE will provide up to sixteen (16) hours of timely, remote, or onsite IDDE support services on a 24 hour per day/365 day per year basis; emphasizing public outreach, BMP recommendation, and permit reporting. Enforcement would remain the responsibility of City Code Enforcement. Additional services would be provided on a time and materials basis, using the provided multi -year rate sheet. 1 https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/losangeles/water issues/programs/stormwater/municipal/watershed manaQement/los angeles/upper losangeles/20160127/UpperLARiver revEWMP Appendix7 Jan2016.pdf A"' City of Rosemead vt� Proposal to Provide Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit Professional Compliance and Support Services (RFP No. 2022-18) Task 12 - WMP and Annual Reporting For each July first to June thirtieth service period, CWE will assist City Staff in preparing the two required WMP Progress Report submittals, due to the Board on June and December fifteenth and the Annual MS4 Permit Compliance Report due on December fifteenth. As a member of the ULAR WMP Group, City draft submissions are typically due several months before these Board dates and only limited revisions are typically allowed during the final month. CWE will transcribe the raw City data using the, then current, Los Angeles County Watershed Reporting Adaptive Management & Planning System (WRAMPS) application and forms, resorting to Microsoft Word°, Excel°, and Portable Document formats, as may be necessary for assisting City Staff in making timely progress. Access to the electronic version of the final, submitted, reports will be provided to City Staff. Limitations and Assumptions CWE recommends following an eighteen -month overlapping Professional Services Agreement (PSA) term, to coincide with the MS4 Permit July 15t to June 3011, Implementation period, followed by reporting through approximately December 315t of the trailing year. We propose that first period begin on approximtely October 1, 2022, and end on December 31, 2023. Potentially, the final period could end on December 31, 2027. CWE has utilized the following proposal assumptions to reduce our risks and your budget commitments during this Fluid period between various draft Permit and EWMP Plan versions; 1. This proposal does not address separate agreements between the City and any WMP Group or the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG) on behalf of a WMP Group, 2. This proposal excludes regulatory and implementation priority changes initiated by the SWRCB, LARWQCB, ULAR or other WMP Group, legislature, or the City. Such actions may be addressed by agreed upon changes in budget or task work, or through a separate agreement with the City. 3. This proposal responds to City RFP identified tasks, rather than potential compliance priorities. 4. Confined space entry of MS4 facilities is unnecessary and outside of our Scope of Work. 5. Installation of Full Capture System (FCS) Connector Pipe Screens are being addressed through the City Capital Improvement Program (CIP), using SCWP MPTA support. 6. Development of an alternative WMP implementation strategy is beyond this Scope of Work. 7. City Encroachment or Access Permits will be issued as no fee Permits.

Bests rating of A- or better and a minimum financial size Vll. General conditions pertaining to provision of insurance coverage by Consultant. Consultant and City agree to the following with respect to insurance provided by Consultant: 1. Consultant agrees to have its insurer endorse the third party general liability coverage required herein to include as additional insureds City, its officials, employees and agents, using standard ISO endorsement No. CG 2010. Consultant also agrees to require all contractors, and subcontractors to do likewise. 2. No liability insurance coverage provided to comply with this Agreement shall prohibit Consultant, or Consultant's employees, or agents, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. Consultant agrees to waive subrogation rights against City regardless of the applicability of any insurance proceeds, and to require all contractors and subcontractors to do likewise. 3. All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage. 4. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing. 5. No liability policy shall contain any provision or definition that would serve to eliminate so-called "third party action over" claims, including any exclusion for bodily injury to an employee of the insured or of any contractor or subcontractor. 6. All coverage types and limits required are subject to approval, modification and additional requirements by the City, as the need arises. Consultant shall not make any reductions in scope of coverage (e.g. elimination of contractual liability or reduction of discovery period) that may affect City's protection without City's prior written consent. C-2 7. Proof of compliance with these insurance requirements, consisting of certificates of insurance evidencing all of the coverages required and an additional insured endorsement to Consultant's general liability policy, shall be delivered to City at or prior to the execution of this Agreement. In the event such proof of any insurance is not delivered as required, or in the event such insurance is canceled at any time and no replacement coverage is provided, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain any insurance it deems necessary to protect its interests under this or any other agreement and to pay the premium. Any premium so paid by City shall be charged to and promptly paid by Consultant or deducted from sums due Consultant, at City option. 8. Certificate(s) are to reflect that the insurerwill provide 30 days notice to City of any cancellation of coverage. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify such certificates to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the certificate. 9. It is acknowledged by the parties of this agreement that all insurance coverage required to be provided by Consultant or any subcontractor, is intended to apply first and on a primary, noncontributing basis in relation to any other insurance or self insurance available to City. 10. Consultant agrees to ensure that subcontractors, and any other party involved with the project who is brought onto or involved in the project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subcontractors and others engaged in the project will be submitted to City for review. 11. Consultant agrees not to self -insure or to use any self -insured retentions or deductibles on any portion of the insurance required herein and further agrees that it will not allow any contractor, subcontractor, Architect, Engineer or other entity or person in any way involved in the performance of work on the project contemplated by this agreement to self -insure its obligations to City. If Consultant's existing coverage includes a deductible or self -insured retention, the deductible or self - insured retention must be declared to the City. At that time the City shall review options with the Consultant, which may include reduction or elimination of the deductible or self insured retention, substitution of other coverage, or other solutions. 12.The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the City will negotiate additional compensation proportional to the increased benefit to City. C-3 13. For purposes of applying insurance coverage only, this Agreement will be deemed to have been executed immediately upon any party hereto taking any steps that can be deemed to be in furtherance of or towards performance of this Agreement. 14. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on City nor does it waive any rights hereunder in this or any other regard. 15. Consultant will renew the required coverage annually as long as City, or its employees or agents face an exposure from operations of any type pursuant to this agreement. This obligation applies whether or not the agreement is canceled or terminated for any reason. Termination of this obligation is not effective until City executes a written statement to that effect. 16. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. A coverage binder or letter from Consultant's insurance agent to this effect is acceptable. A certificate of insurance and/or additional insured endorsement as required in these specifications applicable to the renewing or new coverage must be provided to City within five days of the expiration of the coverages. 17. The provisions of any workers' compensation or similar act will not limit the obligations of Consultant under this agreement. Consultant expressly agrees not to use any statutory immunity defenses under such laws with respect to City, its employees, officials and agents. 18. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits or other requirements nor as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all- inclusive. 19.These insurance requirements are intended to be separate and distinct from any other provision in this agreement and are intended by the parties here to be interpreted as such. 20.The requirements in this Section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impairs the provisions of this Section. 21. Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not C-4 the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.
