SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER
INTO A CONTRACT WITH AND ESTABLISH A PURCHASE
ORDER FOR DEBRA DUNCAN FOR TRANSCRIPTION AND
PREPARATION OF MEETING MINUTES OF THE CITY’S
LEGISLATIVE BODIES AND SPECIALIZED ELECTRONIC
SERVICES FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022-2023 ($43,200)
SUMMARY
The City Clerk requests that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Debra Duncan for a period of twelve (12) month (i.e. July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023) and establish a purchase order in the amount of Forty Three Thousand Two Hundred Dollars ($43,200.00) for payment of services for transcription and preparation of meeting minutes of the City’s legislative bodies and specialized electronic services for the Fiscal Year 2022-2023.
BACKGROUND
The City Clerk is responsible for recording and maintaining a full and true record of all of the proceedings of the City’s legislative bodies; that is, the Compton Public Finance Authority, the Urban Community Development Commission, the Successor Agency to the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Compton, and the City Council (“legislative bodies”).
The City contracted with Debra Duncan last fiscal year to transcribe and prepare the meeting minutes for the Compton Public Finance Authority, the Urban Community Development Commission, the Successor Agency to the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Compton, and the City Council (“legislative bodies”). Use of her services allows the minutes to be prepared and submitted to the various legislative bodies for review and filing in a timely manner.
Additionally, Ms. Duncan’s responsibilities have included providing a variety of technological services attendant to the agenda preparation process for the City’s legislative bodies, such as:

3. Include accurate time stamps for agenda items (Public Comments on Agenda and Non-Agenda Items, Consent Agenda, etc.).
4. Perform application programming operations (enters specialized vocabulary into software) to assist in the rapid and accurate translation of spoken information into electronic and print materials; (roll call, motions, votes, resolution numbers, ordinance numbers, report out of closed session items, and adjournments).
5. Records amendments to resolutions and ordinances, incidental motions, requests to withdraw or modify motions, special privileges, and disciplinary procedures.
6. Evaluates and maintains software to determine suitability.
7. Identifies and takes corrective action to resolve routine operational problems.
8. Publishes training streams as necessary.
9. Provide user accessibility to archived meetings via the internet.
10.Operates peripheral equipment such as printers, desktop computers, and copiers to provide hard copies of summary minutes.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The City Clerk’s Office is minimally staffed; thus, it is vital to employ the services of an experienced and reliable provider to assure that meeting minutes are prepared and submitted to the various legislative bodies for review and filing in a timely manner. Thus, informal quotes were sought through [email protected], which is a network of current and former California City Clerks. There were only three (3) responses to our request.
Sharp’s Transcription Services – $1,500.00 per meeting date Debra Duncan - $900.00 per meeting date
Playback Communications - $120.00 per hour
The three quotes received were evaluated on experience, professionalism, knowledge, etc. Debra Duncan’s quote was the lowest quote received, with her ability to attend each meeting. Additionally, the City has previously contracted with Ms. Debra Duncan and has found her service reliable and very satisfactory.

Acceptance by City of the work performed under this Agreement does not operate as a release of said Contractor from such professional responsibility for the services performed.

City will not make any federal or state tax withholdings on behalf of Contractor or its agents, employees or subcontractors. City will not pay any workers' compensation insurance, retirement contributions or unemployment contributions on behalf of Contractor or its employees or subcontractors.

7. Nondiscriminatory Employment Practices.During the performance of this Agreement, the Contractor agrees not to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, sex, creed, color, religion, age, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, political affiliation, handicap or belief in accordance with requirements of City, State or Federal laws and regulations. Contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, sex, creed, color, religion, age, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, political affiliation, handicap or belief in accordance with requirements of City, State or Federal laws and regulations. Such actions shall include, but not be limited to the following:
employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoffs or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship.

8. Subcontracting.Contractor's services are unique and personal. Except as may be agreed to by the City, Contractor will not subcontract any portion of the services without prior written approval of City Manager or his/her designee. If Contractor subcontracts any of the services, Contractor will be fully responsible to City for the acts, errors and omissions of Contractor's subcontractor and of the persons either directly or indirectly employed by the subcontractor, as Contractor is for the acts and omissions of persons directly employed by Contractor. Nothing contained in this Agreement will create any contractual relationship between any subcontractor of Contractor and City. Contractor will be responsible for payment of subcontractors. Contractor will bind every subcontractor and every subcontractor of a subcontractor by the terms of this Agreement applicable to Contractor's work unless specifically noted to the contrary in the subcontract and approved in writing by City.
9. Other Contractors.The City reserves the right to employ other Contractors in connection with the services.
10. Indemnification.Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers (collectively hereinafter the “City”), against any and all damages to property or injuries to or death of any person or persons, including property and employees or agents of the City and shall indemnify and save the City from any and all liability and expense including reimbursement of reasonable defense costs and legal fees, and claims, demands, suits, actions or proceedings of any kind or nature, including Workers’ Compensation claims, of or by anyone whomsoever to the extent resulting from or arising out of the negligent, reckless or willful misconduct for the Contractor, its officers, employees, subcontractors, subcontractors or agents in the performance of the duties undertaken by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement.
This indemnification and hold harmless obligation does not extend to claims arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of the City.
11. Insurance.Without limiting the Contractor’s indemnification of the City, Contractor shall obtain and maintain, at its cost and expense, for the duration of the Agreement and any and all amendments, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise out of or in connection with performance of the services by Contractor or Contractor’s agents, representatives, employees or subcontractors. The insurance will be obtained from an insurance carrier admitted and authorized to do business in the State of California. Such evidence shall specifically identify this Agreement and shall contain express conditions that the City is to be given written notice at least thirty (30) days in advance of any termination or implementation of a reduction of limits or material change of insurance coverage as specified herein. Failure on the part of the Contractor to procure or maintain insurance shall constitute a material breach upon which the City may immediately terminate this Agreement. All insurance required hereunder shall be primary with respect to any insurance maintained by the City.

6 Coverages and Limits. Contractor will maintain the types of coverages and minimum limits indicated below, unless the Risk Manager or City Manager, in consultation with the City Attorney approves a lower amount. These minimum amounts of coverage will not constitute any limitations or cap on Contractor's indemnification obligations under this Agreement. City, its officers, agents, volunteers and employees make no representation that the limits of the insurance specified to be carried by Contractor pursuant to this Agreement are adequate to protect Contractor. The coverage will contain no special limitations on the scope of its protection to the below-indicated insureds except for Workers Compensation and errors and omissions insurance. Contractor will obtain occurrence coverage, excluding Professional Liability, which will be written as claims-made coverage. If Contractor believes that any required insurance coverage is inadequate, Contractor will obtain such additional insurance coverage, as Contractor deems adequate, at Contractor's sole expense.
11.1 Commercial General Liability Insurance. $500,000.00 combined single- limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage. If the submitted policies contain aggregate limits, general aggregate limits will apply separately to the work under this Agreement or the general aggregate will be twice the required per occurrence limit.
11.2 Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability. Workers' Compensation limits as required by the California Labor Code and Employer's Liability limits of $1,000,000 per accident for bodily injury. Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability insurance will not be required if Contractor has no employees and provides, to City's satisfaction, a declaration stating this.
Endorsements. For Commercial General Liability Insurance, Contractor will insure that the policies are endorsed to name the City of Compton and its respective elected and appointed officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers as “additional insureds” with respect to liability arising out of the activities of the Contractor. Any failure to comply with reporting provisions of the policies shall not affect coverage provided to the City. Prior to City's execution of this Agreement, Contractor will furnish certificates of insurance and endorsements to City.
Waiver of Subrogation. The policies shall contain a waiver of subrogation for the benefit of City.
12. Permits and Licenses.Contractor, at its own expense, during the term of this Agreement, shall obtain and maintain all appropriate business and professional permits, licenses and certificates that may be required in connection with the performance of services by the Contractor. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Contractor shall show evidence of a business license permit in conformance with Section 9-1.2 of the Compton Municipal Code.
13. Maintenance of Records. Contractor will maintain complete and accurate records with respect to costs incurred under this Agreement. All records will be clearly identifiable.

15. General Compliance with Laws. Contractor will keep fully informed of federal, state and local laws and ordinances and regulations which in any manner affect those employed by Contractor, or in any way affect the performance of the services by Contractor. Contractor will at all times observe and comply with these laws, ordinances, and regulations and will be responsible for the compliance of the services with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations.
16. Termination.In the event of the Contractor's failure to prosecute, deliver, or perform the services, after giving written notice of default and two (2) days to correct the same, then, in addition to any other remedies, City may terminate this Agreement for nonperformance by notifying Contractor in writing. Contractor has five (5) business days to deliver any documents owned by City and all work in progress to City address contained in this Agreement.
City will make a determination of fact based upon the work product delivered to City and of the percentage of work that Contractor has performed which is usable and of worth to City in having the Agreement completed. Based upon that finding City will determine the final payment of the Agreement. In the event City elects to terminate, City will have the right to immediate possession of all Work Product and work in progress prepared by Contractor, whether located at the project site, at Contractor's place of business, or at the offices of a subcontractor.
The City’s obligation is payable only from funds appropriated for the purpose of this Agreement. All funds for payments after the end of the current fiscal year are subject to the City’s legislative appropriation for this purpose. In the event this Agreement extends into succeeding fiscal year periods and the City Council does not allocate sufficient funds for the next succeeding fiscal year payments, this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon written notice from the City.
Either Party, upon tendering ten (10) calendar days written notice to the other Party, may terminate this Agreement for convenience. In this event and upon request of City, Contractor will assemble the work product without charge and put it in order for proper filing and closing and deliver it to City. Contractor will be paid for work performed to the termination date; however, the total will not exceed the lump sum fee payable under this Agreement. City will make the final determination as to the portions of tasks completed and the compensation to be made.
17. Covenants Against Contingent Fees. Contractor warrants that Contractor has not employed or retained any company or person, other than a bona fide employee working for Contractor, to solicit or secure this Agreement, and that Contractor has not paid or agreed to pay any company or person, other than a bona fide employee, any fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift, or any other consideration contingent upon, or resulting from, the award or making of this Agreement.

SUMMARY
Adoption of this Resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a twelve (12) month agreement (i.e. July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023) with All Star Interpreting Service (“All Star”) to provide Spanish language translation and interpretation services for the public meetings of the City’s legislative bodies for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 and establish a purchase order in the amount of Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000).

The City Council conducts much of the City’s business during its weekly public and televised meetings in the English language. A substantial portion of the City’s population is Spanish speaking and the City believes that it is important for all residents of the City to understand and participate in the governance of the City, thus the need to provide interpretation and translation services for City Council meetings and other community meetings. The City conducts public meetings of its legislative bodies up to four (4) times monthly.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The Clerk’s Office does not have staff to perform the professional services needed to provide professional, certified language translation and interpretation services for the various City’s legislative bodies. Thus, informal proposals were sought and received from four (4) firms; to wit:
All Star Interpreting Service - $750.00 flat rate per meeting BiLingual Services International - $595.00 times 2 Interpreters (required) up to 3 hours, $195.00 per each additional hour per interpreters Medrano Interpreting - 1000.00 times 2 Interpreters (required) up to 6 hours for a total of $2000.00 per meeting.
Reliable Translation Inc. - $432.00 times 2 Interpreters (required) up to 2 hours, (additional cost per every 15 minutes, and mileage)

FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
ADOPTING CURB MARKING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR RED,
GREEN, YELLOW AND WHITE CURBS IN THE CITY OF COMPTON
SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will adopt the Curb Marking Policies and Procedures for Red, Green, Yellow, and White Curbs in the City of Compton.
BACKGROUND
Curb markings, which are most often used to indicate parking restrictions, are regulated by the California Vehicle Code, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Controls Devices and the City of Compton’s Municipal Code (Section 12-3).
The City of Compton Municipal Code has identified five curb markings, representing different types of parking restrictions as follows:
Red No Stopping/Parking Any Time Zone
Green Time-Limited Parking Zone
Yellow Commercial Loading Zone
White Passenger Loading Zone
Blue Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons (separate policy) The policies and procedures for red, green, yellow and white curb markings were developed to meet the needs of the community while following standard practices for the installation of curb markings.
It is the responsibility of the Public Works Department to maintain all infrastructure in the public right-of-way. This includes the installation and maintenance of curb markings in the City. The City’s Traffic Authority or designated representative is authorized to determine and mark these painted curbs in accordance with the City of Compton’s Municipal Code.
For determining on-street parking, the City Engineer is the Traffic Authority’s designated representative.
POLICY
The objective of this policy is to identify the procedures and approval criteria associated with the installation of curb markings. The evaluation of all curb markings shall be
4.4.4.4. Staff Report – Curb Marking Policies and Procedures Policies and Procedures for Red, Green, Yellow, and White Curbs July 19, 2022, page 2 of 6
performed by the City Engineer to ensure the installation is in accordance with the engineering standards and the City’s Municipal Code.
Curb markings installed without the approval of the City Engineer will not be permitted.
These installation will be removed by the Public Works Department and the cost of the removal will be charged to the responsible party.
Curb Marking Designations
Each type of curb marking and the related parking restrictions are described below.
Red Curb – No Stopping/No Parking Any Time Zone
A red curb represents a no-stopping/no-standing/no-parking any time zone, where neither parking, standing nor stopping is allowed at any time. Red indicates no stopping, no standing, or no parking at any time whether the vehicle is attended or unattended; except that a bus may stop in a red zone marked or signed as a bus zone. No-stopping/no- standing/no-parking zones can be installed in any area of the City where the presence of vehicles stopped, standing or parked at the curb creates an unsafe situation for vehicular, pedestrian and/or bicycle traffic.
A red curb is usually installed adjacent to corners of an intersection of public roads to maintain safe and efficient vehicular maneuverability and/or sight distance, where streets may be too narrow for a vehicle to safely pass. A red curb may also be installed adjacent to crosswalks to provide adequate visibility of pedestrians in the crosswalk. If the space between two driveways is too small to accommodate a passenger vehicle, a red curb may be installed to prevent parked vehicles from blocking the driveways. These locations are considered critical Red Zones, where parking restrictions are necessary to maintain a safe roadway and traffic conditions as determined by the City Engineer.
A red curb can also include areas within 15 feet of fire hydrants, however, since this area is already regulated by the California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 22514 there is not usually a need for it to be marked as a red curb.
Private Driveway Clearance
The installation of a red curb adjacent to a driveway is used to discourage vehicles from parking too close and blocking driveways and to increase visibility and access in and out of the driveways. At the request of the fronting property owner/resident, a red curb may be installed on either side of a driveway to keep parked vehicles at a sufficient distance away from the driveway edges to facilitate access into and out of the driveway. Parking restrictions of a red curb adjacent to driveways are enforceable just as any other no- parking zone in the City. Any vehicle, including that of the property owner/resident, can be cited for parking in the red zone.
Staff Report – Curb Marking Policies and Procedures
Policies and Procedures for Red, Green, Yellow, and White Curbs July 19, 2022, page 3 of 6
Typically, a residential driveway clearance consists of three to five feet of red paint on either side of a driveway. If the requested red curb extends towards a neighbor’s driveway then an authorization letter is required from the adjacent neighbor. In evaluating each red curb request, the City must balance the issue of maintaining access in and out of the driveway while providing sufficient curb space for on-street parking. In a situation where the red curb installation results in an insufficient length to park a vehicle, then the City may install an additional red curb. There are limited situations where the length of the red curb can be adjusted on a case-by-case basis.
For a red curb requests adjacent to a multi-unit residence or business and/or commercial driveways, the property owner/manager or representative is required to submit an authorization letter stating they are in accordance with the red curb request.
Green Curb – Time-Limited Parking Zone
A green curb represents parking limited to a short period of time. Time-limited parking zones are areas where the length of time a vehicle can remain parked in a particular space is limited to a specific duration and are typically installed in commercial areas. A green curb is often installed where unrestricted curb space in front of a particular business is used for long-term parking during most of the day limiting access to the business. A green curb is intended to create parking turnover and prevent motorists from monopolizing on-street parking for an extended time. Green zones are open to all members of the public.
As defined in the City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.6.a.4, a green curb means no standing or parking for longer than 20 minutes at a time from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm any day except Sunday.
The City of Compton does not reserve on-street parking for individuals. A green curb does not constitute “personal reserved parking,” and is available for all vehicles during the specified time limit as designated by signs and curb markings.
Green zones are designated by painting the curb green, with the time limit either stenciled onto the green curb in white letters and/or shown on signs.
Yellow Curb – Commercial Loading Zone
A yellow curb designates parking areas that allow for temporary parking for the sole purpose of loading and unloading freight and/or passengers. Loading zones may be established where the City Engineer has determined the lack of a loading zone would create a safety hazard for the traveling public and no practical alternative exists. Loading zones are typically placed in commercial areas near the entrance to a business with high loading demand or in front of a place used for the purpose of public assembly.
Staff Report – Curb Marking Policies and Procedures
Policies and Procedures for Red, Green, Yellow, and White Curbs July 19, 2022, page 4 of 6
As defined in the City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.6.a.4, yellow zone loading or unloading activities are limited to 20 minutes for materials to/from commercial vehicles and the delivery of United States mail, and 3 minutes for passengers. Loading zones are in force from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm of any day except Sunday.
The City’s Municipal Code also authorizes the Traffic Authority to determine and mark loading zones and passenger loading zones at any place in the Central Traffic District or any business district, and elsewhere in front of the entrance to any place of business or in front of any hall or place used for the purpose of public assembly. In no event shall more than ½ of the total curb length in any block be reserved for loading zone purposes exclusive of the passenger loading zones at the entrance to public theaters.
The City of Compton does not reserve on-street parking for individuals. Yellow zones do not constitute “personal reserved parking,” and are available for all commercial vehicles or motor trucks for loading and unloading of materials, goods, or merchandise, and for passenger loading.
On-street yellow zones are designated by painting the curb yellow with the time limit either stenciled onto the yellow curb in black letters.
White Curb – Passenger Loading Zone
White curb designates areas where only passenger loading activities are permitted. White means no stopping, standing, or parking for any purpose other than loading or unloading of passengers, which shall not exceed three minutes. White Zones are typically found in commercial areas, near schools, senior care facilities, senior housing, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, apartment buildings, theaters, churches, and other large places of assembly. White zones can be installed in areas where it is desirable to permanently reserve curb-space to facilitate passenger loading.
As defined in the City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.6.a.3, White zone loading activities are limited to 3 minutes and the restriction is in force between 7:00 am and 6 pm of any day except Sunday, and except as follows:
When such zone is in front of a hotel the restrictions shall apply at all times. When such zone is in front of a theater the restrictions shall apply at all times except when the theater is closed.
The City of Compton does not reserve on-street parking for individuals. White zones do not constitute “personal reserved parking,” and are available for loading and unloading only of passengers or for depositing mail in an adjacent mailbox. On-street white zones are designated by painting the curb white, with the time limit stenciled onto the white curb in black letters.

In particular, the evaluation will include a field review, consideration of the applicant’s needs, any impact on adjacent businesses or properties, consideration of the public’s needs, the feasibility of the request, and if indicated, the consideration of other possible measures to address the applicant’s concerns.
The City Engineer will notify the applicant whether or not the request has been approved. If approved:
oA one-time processing fee, in the amount noted on the application, may be collected.

City of Compton
Curb Marking Policy and Procedures
for Red, Green, Yellow and White Curbs
INTRODUCTION
Curb markings, which are most often used to indicate parking restrictions, are regulated by the California Vehicle Code, the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Controls and the City of Compton’s Municipal Code (Section 12-3).
The City of Compton Municipal Code has identified five curb markings, representing different types of parking restrictions, as follows:
1. Red – No Stopping/Parking Any Time Zone
2. Green – Time-Limited Parking Zone
3. Yellow – Commercial Loading Zone
4. White – Passenger Loading Zone
5. Blue – Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons (see separate policy) This policy and procedures, for red, green, yellow and white curb markings, were developed to meet the needs of the community while following standard practices for installation of curb markings. It is the responsibility of the Public Works Department to maintain all infrastructure in the public right-of-way. This includes the installation and maintenance of curb markings in the City. The City’s Traffic Authority or designated representative is authorized to determine and mark these painted curbs in accordance with the City of Compton’s Municipal Code. For determining on-street parking, the City Engineer is the Traffic Authority’s designated representative.
POLICY
The objective of this policy is to identify the procedures and approval criteria associated with the installation of curb markings. The evaluation of all curb markings shall be performed by the City Engineer to ensure the installation is in accordance with the engineering standards and the City’s Municipal Code. An excerpt from the City of Compton Municipal Code regarding parking prohibitions and curb markings is attached for reference.
Curb markings installed without approval of the City will not be permitted. These installations will be removed by the Public Works Department, and the cost of the removal will be charged to the responsible party.
City of Compton Curb Marking Policy
Curb Marking Designations
Each type of curb marking and the related parking restrictions are described below.
Red Curb – No Stopping/No Parking Any Time Zone
Red curb represents a no-stopping/no-standing/no-parking any time zone, where neither parking, standing nor stopping is allowed at any time. Red indicates no stopping, no standing, or no parking at any time whether the vehicle is attended or unattended; except that a bus may stop in a red zone marked or signed as a bus zone. No-stopping/no- standing/no-parking zones can be installed in any area of the City where the presence of vehicles stopped, standing or parked at the curb creates an unsafe situation for vehicular, pedestrian and/or bicycle traffic.
Red curb is usually installed adjacent to corners of an intersection of public roads to maintain safe and efficient vehicular maneuverability and/or sight distance, where streets may be too narrow for a vehicle to safely pass. Red curb may also be installed adjacent to crosswalks to provide adequate visibility of pedestrians in the crosswalk. If the space between two driveways is too small to accommodate a passenger vehicle, red curb may be installed to prevent parked vehicles from blocking the driveways. These locations are considered critical Red Zones, where parking restrictions are necessary to maintain a safe roadway and traffic conditions, as determined by the City Engineer.
Red curb can also include areas within 15 feet of fire hydrants, however, since this area is already regulated by the California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 22514 there is not usually a need for it to be marked as a red curb.
Private Driveway Clearance
The installation of red curb adjacent to a driveway is used to discourage vehicles from parking too close and blocking driveways, and to increase visibility and access in and out of the driveways. At the request of the fronting property owner/resident, red curb may be installed on either side of a driveway to keep parked vehicles at a sufficient distance away from the driveway edges to facilitate access into and out of the driveway. Parking restrictions of red curb adjacent to driveways is enforceable, just as any other no-parking zone in the City. Any vehicle, including that of the property owner/resident, can be cited for parking in the red zone.
Typically, a residential driveway clearance consists of three to five feet of red paint on either side of a driveway. If the requested red curb extends towards a neighbor’s driveway then an authorization letter is required from the adjacent neighbor. In evaluating each red curb request, the City must balance the issue of maintaining access in and out of the driveway while providing sufficient curb space for on-street parking. In a situation where the red curb installation results in an insufficient length to park a vehicle, then the City City of Compton Curb Marking Policy
may install additional red curb. There are limited situations where the length of red curb can be adjusted on a case-by-case basis.
For red curb requests adjacent to a multi-unit residence or business and/or commercial driveways, the property owner/manager or representative is required to submit an authorization letter stating they are in accordance with the red curb request.
Green Curb – Time-Limited Parking Zone
Green curb represents parking limited to a short period of time. Time-limited parking zones are areas where the length of time a vehicle can remain parked in a particular space is limited to a specific duration and are typically installed in commercial areas.
Green curb is often installed where unrestricted curb space in front of a particular business is used for long-term parking during most of the day, limiting access to the business. Green curb is intended to create parking turnover and prevent motorists from monopolizing on-street parking for an extended time. Green zones are open to all members of the public.
As defined in the City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.6.a.4, green curb means no standing or parking for longer than 20 minutes at a time from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, any day except Sunday.
The City of Compton does not reserve on-street parking for individuals. Green curb does not constitute “personal reserved parking,” and, is available for all vehicles during the specified time limit as designated by signs and curb markings.
Green zones are designated by painting the curb green, with the time limit either stenciled onto the green curb in white letters and/or shown on signs.
Yellow Curb – Commercial Loading Zone
Yellow curb designates parking areas that allow for temporary parking for the sole purpose of loading and unloading freight and/or passengers. Loading zones may be established where the City Engineer has determined the lack of a loading zone would create a safety hazard for the traveling public and no practical alternative exists. Loading zones are typically placed in commercial areas near the entrance to a business with high loading demand or in front of a place used for the purpose of public assembly.
As defined in the City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.6.a.4, yellow zone loading or unloading activities are limited to 20 minutes for materials to/from commercial vehicles and the delivery of United States mail, and 3 minutes for passengers. Loading zones are in force from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM of any day except Sunday.
The City’s Municipal Code also authorizes the Traffic Authority to determine and mark loading zones and passenger loading zones at any place in the Central Traffic District or City of Compton Curb Marking Policy
any business district, and elsewhere in front of the entrance to any place of business or in front of any hall or place used for the purpose of public assembly. In no event shall more than ½ of the total curb length in any block be reserved for loading zone purposes exclusive of the passenger loading zones at the entrance to public theaters.
The City of Compton does not reserve on-street parking for individuals. Yellow zones do not constitute “personal reserved parking,” and, are available for all commercial vehicles or motor trucks for loading and unloading of materials, goods, or merchandise, and for passenger loading.
On-street yellow zones are designated by painting the curb yellow, with the time limit either stenciled onto the yellow curb in black letters.
White Curb – Passenger Loading Zone
White curb designates areas where only passenger loading activities are permitted. White means no stopping, standing, or parking for any purpose other than loading or unloading of passengers, which shall not exceed three minutes. White Zones are typically found in commercial areas, near schools, senior care facilities, senior housing, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, apartment buildings, theaters, churches, and other large places of assembly. White zones can be installed in areas where it is desirable to permanently reserve curb-space to facilitate passenger loading.
As defined in the City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.6.a.3, White zone loading activities are limited to 3 minutes the restriction is in force between 7:00 AM and 6 PM of any day except Sunday, and except as follows:
When such zone is in front of a hotel the restrictions shall apply at all times; When such zone is in front of a theater the restrictions shall apply at all times except when the theater is closed.
The City of Compton does not reserve on-street parking for individuals. White zones do not constitute “personal reserved parking,” and, are available for loading and unloading only of passengers or for depositing mail in an adjacent mailbox.
On-street white zones are designated by painting the curb white, with the time limit stenciled onto the white curb in black letters.
Processing Fee
When a request for a curb marking is approved, a one-time processing fee, in the amount shown on the application form, may be collected to cover field investigation, installation, maintenance and removal costs.

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COMPTON ADOPTING THE ACCESSIBLE PARKING FOR
DISABLED PERSONS (BLUE CURB) POLICY AND
PROCEDURES IN THE CITY OF COMPTON
SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will adopt the Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons (Blue Curb) Policy and Procedures in the City of Compton.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of an accessible parking zone for disabled persons is to provide designated parking at major points of assembly for the exclusive use of physically disabled persons whose vehicles display a valid license plate or placard as authorized by the California Vehicle Code. In certain circumstances, on-street accessible parking zone may also be provided adjacent to or near an individual residence or business.
Accessible parking is regulated by the Access Board, an independent federal agency that is responsible for developing accessibility guidelines. Accessibility related to public roadways is also regulated by the US Department of Transportation, the California Vehicle Code, and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD). The City’s policy is in compliance with the applicable regulations of these agencies.
The City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.14, Subsections B & C authorize the Traffic Authority to determine the location of disabled parking at on- street locations and within publicly owned, leased or controlled parking facilities.
POLICY
This policy provides a procedure by which a Compton resident, business, or property owner (applicant) can apply for an on-street accessible parking space for disabled persons (blue zone) within the City of Compton.
On-street accessible parking spaces will only be considered when off-street parking is not available for an applicant or parking demands in the area prohibit
5.5.5.5. Staff Report – Blue Curbs
Policies and Procedures for the Adopting the Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons July 19, 2022, page 2 of 7
the applicant from having the use of existing on-street parking near a residence, business or major point assembly.
In establishing accessible on-street parking facilities for the disabled, a reasonable determination shall be made that the facility will serve more than one disabled person and that the need is of an on-going nature (accessible parking spaces will not be installed on the basis of a temporary disabled persons placard). The intent is to prevent the proliferation of special parking stalls that may be installed for a short-term purpose, but are seldom used. Unjustified installation of such parking stalls unnecessarily reduces available on-street parking for the general public, increases the City's maintenance and operation costs, and detracts from the overall effectiveness of the disabled persons parking program.
Accessible parking spaces will not be installed at locations with a no parking or no stopping any time prohibition. The accessible parking zones are in force twenty- four hours a day, seven days a week, unless otherwise posted. All must comply with ADA requirements. The total number of accessible on-street parking spaces will be limited to no more than 1% of the total number of on-street parking spaces available in the area and shall be distributed uniformly within the area.
Accessible parking spaces shall be provided within all publicly owned, leased or controlled off-street parking facilities as specified below. On-street accessible parking spaces will not be provided to residences with garages, driveways and/or carports. On-street accessible parking spaces will not be provided to businesses or facilities that do not provide the required off-street accessible parking. The total number of accessible off-street parking spaces to be provided within an off-street parking facility shall be measured on the basis of demonstrated need or as determined by the requirements of the Office of the State Architect, whichever is greater, and approved by the City’s Building Official.
Processing Fee
When a request for an on-street accessible parking space is approved, a one-time processing fee, in the amount shown on the application form, will be collected to cover field investigation, installation, maintenance and removal costs. The cost of installing accessible parking will be assumed by the City for all on-street spaces serving City-owned facilities and for City-owned off-street parking facilities. The cost of installing accessible parking either on-street or off-street, at all other facilities, will be assumed by the resident or proprietor of the facility.

Policies and Procedures for the Adopting the Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons July 19, 2022, page 4 of 7
the number of on-site accessible parking spaces and why the requested parking space cannot be installed on-site.
3. The decision to install an on-street parking space will also be based on the sidewalk conditions adjacent to the building and the obstruction-free navigation of a disabled person from a vehicle parked in the accessible space to the sidewalk as determined by the Public Works Department.
Residential Eligibility Criteria:
It is not the intention of the City to provide reserved parking in the public right-of- way, especially in residential areas. However, exceptions may be made in special cases provided all of the following conditions exist:
1. Applicant (or guardian) must be in possession of a valid license plate or placard for “disabled persons” or “disabled veterans.”
2. The proposed accessible parking space must be in front of the applicant (or guardian’s) place of residence.
3. The applicant (or guardian) must provide at least one form of proof of residency at the subject address (i.e. current utility bill, State or Federal issued picture identification, or rental agreement). In addition, the applicant must be prepared to show proof of identity with a State-issued picture identification.
4. Residences with garages, carports and/or driveways are not eligible for an on-street accessible parking space.
5. On the application, the applicant (or guardian) must state why an on-street accessible parking space is being requested.
6. For residences not owned by the applicant (or guardian) the landlord/property owner must sign the application to confirm and agree to the accessible parking space being placed in front of the residence.
7. The decision to install an on-street parking space will also be based on the sidewalk conditions adjacent to the residence and the obstacle-free navigation of a disabled person from a vehicle parked in the accessible space to the sidewalk as determined by the Public Works Department.
8. To ensure continued eligibility, the applicant must submit to the City a copy of the disabled persons license or placard renewal provided by the State every two years.
Staff Report – Blue Curbs
Policies and Procedures for the Adopting the Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons July 19, 2022, page 5 of 7
Business Eligibility Criteria:
It is not the intention of the City to provide reserved parking in the public right-of- way, especially in business areas. However, exceptions may be made in special cases provided all of the following conditions exist:
1. All non-residential land uses with usable floor space of 50,000 square feet or less and that are not noted as a major point of assembly will be defined as commercial and/or office buildings. This category also includes assisted living facilities and senior apartments. The applicant must provide proof of business ownership or property ownership of the subject address.
2. For businesses located in a building or on property not owned by the applicant, the landlord/property owner must sign the application to confirm and agree to the accessible parking space being placed in front of the business.
3. Before an on-street parking space is considered, the applicant must demonstrate that the property currently meets City and State requirements regarding the number of on-site accessible parking spaces and state why the requested parking space cannot be installed on-site.
4. The decision to install an on-street parking space will also be based on the sidewalk conditions adjacent to the business and the obstacle-free navigation of a disabled person from a vehicle parked in the accessible space to the sidewalk as determined by the Public Works Department.
Evaluation of Location:
City staff will also consider the following when evaluating an application for accessible on-street parking. To qualify for an accessible on-street parking space, the proposed location must meet all of the following requirements:
1. The requested on-street space is immediately adjacent to an ADA compliant ramp or a compliant driveway approach with a clear path of travel.
2. The requested on-street parking space is located so that the disabled person is not required to wheel or walk behind or in front of a parked vehicle other than their own. The curb lane or street is wide enough that the disabled person is not required to wheel or walk in traffic.
3. There are no obstructions on the sidewalk adjacent to and for the full length of the parking space.
Note: If the requested on-street space is not located in close proximity to an ADA compliant curb ramp or driveway approach for access to the sidewalk or walkway, the accessible space may need to be provided in a different location such as at the nearest corner with an accessible curb ramp. If there is not an accessible curb Staff Report – Blue Curbs
Policies and Procedures for the Adopting the Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons July 19, 2022, page 6 of 7
ramp at the nearest corner, a compliant curb ramp may need to be installed prior to providing the accessible parking space.
The City of Compton is not required to make any structural changes to existing on- street parking if accessible on-street parking is already nearby. The City of Compton prefers that accessible parking be located off-street whenever feasible.

Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons
(Blue Curb) Policy and Procedures
Update Adopted by the City Council on ______________, 2022 DRAFT
City of Compton Blue Curb Policy
City of Compton
Accessible Parking for Disabled Persons (Blue Curb)
Policy and Procedures
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of an accessible parking zone for disabled persons is to provide designated parking at major points of assembly for the exclusive use of physically disabled persons whose vehicles display a valid license plate or placard as authorized by the California Vehicle Code. In certain circumstances, an on-street accessible parking zone may also be provided adjacent to or near an individual residence or business.
Accessible parking is regulated by the Access Board, an independent federal agency that is responsible for developing accessibility guidelines. Accessibility related to public roadways is also regulated by the US Department of Transportation, the California Vehicle Code, and the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD). The City’s policy is in compliance with the applicable regulations of these agencies.
The City of Compton Municipal Code, Section 12-3.14, Subsections B & C authorize the Traffic Authority1 to determine the location of disabled parking at on-street locations and within publicly owned, leased or controlled parking facilities.
POLICY
This policy provides a procedure by which a Compton resident, business, or property owner (applicant) can apply for an on-street accessible parking space for disabled persons (blue zone) within the City of Compton.
On-street accessible parking spaces will only be considered when off-street parking is not available for an applicant or parking demands in the area prohibit the applicant from having the use of existing on-street parking near a residence, business or major point of assembly.
It should be noted that on-street accessible parking spaces are NOT:
A reserved parking space for the applicant
Intended as a private parking space for the applicant
For temporary or short-term need
1The Traffic Authority is the City of Compton’s Street Superintendent or authorized representative. (For on- street accessible parking, the City Engineer has been designated as the authorized representative.) City of Compton Blue Curb Policy
2 In establishing accessible on-street parking facilities for the disabled, a reasonable determination shall be made that the facility will serve more than one disabled person and that the need is of an on-going nature (accessible parking spaces will not be installed on the basis of a temporary disabled persons placard). The intent is to prevent the proliferation of special parking stalls that may be installed for a short-term purpose, but are seldom used. Unjustified installation of such parking stalls unnecessarily reduces available on-street parking for the general public, increases the City's maintenance and operation costs, and detracts from the overall effectiveness of the disabled persons parking program.
Accessible parking spaces will not be installed at locations with a no parking or no stopping any time prohibition. The accessible parking zones are in force twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, unless otherwise posted. All must comply with ADA requirements. The total number of accessible on-street parking spaces will be limited to no more than 1% of the total number of on-street parking spaces available in the area and shall be distributed uniformly within the area.
Accessible parking spaces shall be provided within all publicly owned, leased or controlled off-street parking facilities as specified below. On-street accessible parking spaces will not be provided to residences with garages, driveways and/or carports. On- street accessible parking spaces will not be provided to businesses or facilities that do not provide the required off-street accessible parking. The total number of accessible off- street parking spaces to be provided within an off-street parking facility shall be measured on the basis of demonstrated need or as determined by the requirements of the Office of the State Architect, whichever is greater, and approved by the City’s Building Official.
Processing Fee
When a request for an on-street accessible parking space is approved, a one-time processing fee, in the amount shown on the application form, will be collected to cover field investigation, installation, maintenance and removal costs. The cost of installing accessible parking will be assumed by the City for all on-street spaces serving City-owned facilities and for City-owned off-street parking facilities. The cost of installing accessible parking either on-street or off-street, at all other facilities, will be assumed by the resident or proprietor of the facility.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON APPROVING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 83696 (SUB 21-003) A REQUEST BY
THE WIN PROJECT TO CREATE FIVE REDUCED SIZED LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL LOTS ON A 15,863 SQUARE FOOT SITE LOCATED AT 1716 E.
ROSECRANS AVENUE
SUMMARY
The WIN Project is requesting approval of Tentative Tract Map 83696 to create five reduced sized Low Density Residential lots from two existing Successor Agency owned lots totaling 15,863 square feet (.364-acre).
BACKGROUND
On June 8, 2022, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the above-listed request. After due consideration, the Planning Commission did not recommend approval to the City Council for Tentative Tract Map No. 83696. Tentative Tract Maps, (subdivisions) are approved or denied by the City Council; however, the Planning Commission must first hold a public hearing. However, the Planning Commission does not approve or deny subdivisions, but only issues a recommendation to the City Council to approve or deny the Tentative Tract Map.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
The subject site on Rosecrans Avenue is a vacant successor agency owned property, which has been unused for decades. The applicant is proposing to create five Low Density Residential lots for five affordable single-family detached homes. The lots range in size from 3,020 square feet to 3,746 square feet. The proposed lot widths range from 25 to 37.56 feet and have a lot depth of 110 feet.
The zoning code required minimum size for single-family lots is 5,000 square feet with a width of 50 feet and depth of 100 feet.
However, the applicant is invoking the provisions of AB 1763 and therefore does not require any Variances for the reduced size lots. AB1763 allows projects that are proposing 100% affordable housing to have administrative review, an 80% density bonus and four concessions (variances). The applicant is utilizing two of the concessions for reduced lot width and lot area. Therefore, the proposed five lots can be smaller than the typical Low Density Residential lot.
The applicant has already submitted an ARB application to develop five affordable detached single- family homes, which has been reviewed by staff and received preliminary approval pending approval of the subdivision (Tentative Tract Map 83696). The homes proposed are all two story with contemporary materials, architecture, five-foot front yard fences and two-car detached garages.
The project is categorically exempt in accordance with Section 15332 of the State CEQA Guidelines (Class 32 – In Fill projects). Class 32 consists of projects characterized as in-fill development meeting the conditions described in this section.(a) The project is consistent with the applicable
6.6.6.6.6.6.6.6. Staff Report – City Council Tentative Tract Map 83696 July 19, 2022
general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.(b) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.(c) The project site has no value, as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species.(d) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.(e) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None. No City funds will be used for this project. The project will result in the sale of two Successor Agency lots for private development.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Subdivision Case No. 2021-003 (Tentative Tract Map No. 83696) subject to the conditions of approval.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COMPTON AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO AMEND
THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH JOHN L.
HUNTER AND ASSOCIATES, INC. TO EXPAND THE SCOPE OF
SERVICES FOR THE NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE
SYSTEM PROGRAM COMPLIANCE SERVICES AND PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION ($399,774)
SUMMARY
Adoption of this resolution will authorize the City Manager to enter into a third amendment (3rd) to the professional services agreement with John L. Hunter and Associates, Inc. to expand the scope of services to address additional National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program Compliance requirements (i.e. mandated monitoring activities) and authorize the establishment of a purchase order in the amount of $399,774 in compensation for the expanded scope of services.
BACKGROUND
As authorized by the Clean Water Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) administers the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) permit program, which controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. Point sources are conveyances such as drainage pipes or man-made channels, and ditches.
Individual homes that discharge storm water to a municipal street’s curb and gutter do not need a NPDES permit; however, industrial, municipal and other facilities must obtain permits if their discharge goes directly to receiving water systems such as municipal street’s curb and gutter, catch basin, storm drains, etc. In most cases, the NPDES permit program is administered by authorized states. In California, the State Regional Water Quality Control Board (“Regional Board”) establishes policies and regulations that help protect and restore water quality.
Compliance with NPDES permitting rules is multi-faceted and very time consuming. The Public Works Department (“Department”) does not have sufficient staff resources to perform all tasks required by the complex NPDES permit program. Thus, on September 17, 2019, pursuant to Resolution No. 25,120, the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a three (3) year, (i.e. July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022) professional services agreement with two (2) one

year options to extend, with John L. Hunter and Associates, Inc. (“Hunter”) for National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Compliance Program services in the total amount of $255,000.00 (i.e. $85,000 per fiscal year).
A monitoring program meeting the Regional Board requirements must be implemented and include samples collected at multiple locations at multiple intervals during both wet and dry weather. The monitoring portion of the NPDES compliance was not included in the scope of services under the original professional services agreement with Hunter. On April 14, 2020, pursuant to Resolution No. 25,238, City Council authorized the City Manager to amend the original professional service agreement (1 st Amendment) with Hunter to expand the scope of services to provide monitoring program services for Fiscal Year 2020- 2021 in compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge System Compliance Program standards and requirements at the additional costs of $292,024.50.
On September 7, 2021, pursuant to Resolution No. 25,546, City Council authorized the City Manager to amend the professional services agreement (2nd Amendment) with Hunter to expand the scope of services to provide monitoring program services for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 in compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge System Compliance Program standards and requirements at the additional cost of $342,300.
On April 13, 2022, Hunter, through and in conjunction with its sub-consultant, Alta Environmental dba NV5, submitted a proposal to provide the required Fiscal Year 2022-2023 monitoring services for the City’s compliance with National Discharge Elimination System requirements.

Professional Services Agreement/John L. Hunter and Associates, Inc.
Expand Scope of Services-Monitoring Services (FY 2022-23) July 19, 2022, Page 7 of 14
The expanded scope of services for monitoring will include the following:
Task 1 – Project Management and Coordination
NV5 will conduct the planning, preparation, and subcontractor scheduling required for the proposed monitoring and reporting services. This task will include coordination with the client and the City as-needed, and attendance at up to one (1) kick-off meeting and one (1) mid-term project meeting. This task will also be used to provide project updates, communications, and project invoicing.
Task 2 – Coordination, Permitting, Access Agreements with LADWP (1 Receiving Water Site (R1) and 3 MS4 Outfalls), and Updates to SAP/HASP NV5 will update necessary encroachment permits with Los Angeles County Flood Control (LACFD) for one (1) receiving water site in Compton Creek (R1) and three (3) MS4 Outfall sites in the City’s jurisdiction (FS1, FS2, and FS6). Additionally, Letter of No Objection (LNO) or no fee Section 408 Permit will be obtained from the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) for access to Outfall FS1. Other permits, although not anticipated, will be obtained from other jurisdictions as-needed (e.g., Railway right of ways or Caltrans). This task also includes any necessary updates to the site-specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) and Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP), which will be implemented during all proposed field activities. The SAP will define the final analyst list for the 2022-2023 Monitoring Season based on the 2021-2022 annual report assessment.
Task 3 – Equipment Installation, Maintenance, and Laboratory Coordination NV5 will procure equipment, obtain sample supplies, and coordinate with laboratories to ensure analytical procedures are well defined. Equipment will be installed and will include confined space entry as-needed, depending on the site access requirements. Flow meters, sample strainers, and sample tubing will be installed and maintained throughout the monitoring season. Site surveys (width, depth, roughness, and slope) will be performed at each location to define the flow meter parameter entries for ensuring accurate flow measurements. Autosamplers will be programmed accordingly for the sample pacing to ensure representative sample collection. All sampling equipment will be decontaminated prior to each sample event and stored bagged in clean enclosures prior to use.
Task 4a – Receiving Water Wet Weather Monitoring (3 Events x 1 site) NV5 will perform wet weather monitoring at one (1) receiving water site (R1) in Compton Creek during three monitoring events. NV5 will target sampling the first Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing Amendment

significant rain event of the 2022-2023 wet season with a predicted rainfall of at least 0.25 inch at a 70 percent probability of rainfall at the National Weather Service (NWS) Rain Gauge Station (CMGC1) at Compton Creek (33.88/-118.22) at least 24 hours prior to the event start time will be targeted. Two subsequent storm events that forecast sufficient rainfall and runoff to meet program objectives and site- specific study needs will also be targeted. Sample events will be planned to be conducted (when possible, though not required) during similar events as the City of Los Angeles Monitoring Program for data comparability with the Dominguez Channel and Los Angeles River Monitoring Programs. Sampling events will be preceded by a minimum of three days of dry weather (less than 0.1 inch of rain each day) at NWS CMGC1 prior to the forecasted event. Receiving water monitoring will begin as soon as possible after storm water outfall-based monitoring in order to be reflective of potential impacts from MS4 discharges.
Monitoring will include sample collection of a single grab sample using an autosampler pump and temporary tubing extended into the channel flow during or near the peak flow of the event (20% of base-flow conditions and during obvious storm flow influences). The R1 Monitoring Site is not amenable for installing a permanent station due to a soft channel bottom that is periodically maintained by LACFD. Samples will be collected and submitted to the laboratory under chain of custody and will be analyzed for the parameters listed in the Baseline Monitoring and Reporting Plan and as specified in the attached Analytical Cost Schedule (Table 3). Sample collection will include one duplicate and one blank sample per monitoring year for quality assurance procedures to represent the overall program.
Aquatic toxicity will be monitored twice per year during the first and second sample events using the test species H. Azteca which was determined to be the most sensitive test species during screening in accordance with section IX.H.3 of the 2021 Permit. Additional sample will be collected during same two sample events for Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIEs) in the event the toxicity is observed that triggers the TIE threshold in the toxicity test sample (i.e., 50% effect) (total of two TIEs per wet season). This assumes that a TIE will be initiated and assumes it will be conclusive to indicate which pollutant class is likely causing toxicity and will be supported by chemistry data assessment. This task does not include contingency for labor for up to one false start. Additional false starts will be coordinated as- needed through a change order process.
Task 4b – Wet Weather Outfall Monitoring (3 Events x 3 sites) NV5 will perform monitoring at three (3) MS4 Outfall sites (FS1, FS2, and FS6) at the same time and following the same mobilization criteria as listed in Task 4a.
Monitoring will include sample collection using either time weighted sampling techniques in accordance with the Permit and SAP. Samples will be collected and Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing Amendment
Professional Services Agreement/John L. Hunter and Associates, Inc.

submitted to the laboratory under chain of custody and will be analyzed for all required parameters listed in the Baseline Monitoring and Reporting Plan, and as specified in the attached Analytical Cost Schedule (Table 3). Sample collection will include one duplicate and one blank sample per monitoring year for quality assurance procedures for Hi Resolution Pesticides and PCBs for FS6. The QC duplicate for R1 in Task 4a will be used for FS1 and FS2. Additional sample will be collected at FS1 and FS2 during the second event for Toxicity Identification Evaluations (TIEs) in the event the toxicity is observed that triggers the TIE threshold in the receiving water toxicity test sample (i.e., 50% effect). Therefore, up to two toxicity tests using the test species H. Azteca would potentially be performed during the second wet event at the Outfalls FS1 and FS2, and one potential TIE has been budgeted in the event significant toxicity was identified at a given sample location. Additionally, based on the available of unused budget from the dry weather toxicity test (Task 4c), and assuming no TIEs were required, NV5 will coordinate with JLHA to determine the best use of funds for assessing TIE requirements within the available budget. This task does include contingency for labor for up to one false start. Additional false starts will be coordinated as-needed through a change order process.
Task 4c – RW Dry Weather Monitoring (2 Events x 1 sites) NV5 will perform dry weather monitoring at one (1) receiving water site (R1) in Compton Creek. One event will be conducted during a month with the historically lowest baseflow or during the historically driest month of 2022 in accordance with the Permit (or upon approval of access agreements with LADPW). The other monitoring event will occur in May 2022. Dry weather monitoring will occur when preceded by at least 7 days of dry weather with no measurable precipitation at the National Weather Service Rain Gauge Station (CMGC1) at Compton Creek (33.88/-118.22). Monitoring will include sample collection using either flow weighted or time weighted sampling techniques in accordance with the Permit.
Samples will be collected and submitted to the laboratory under chain of custody and will be analyzed for the parameters listed in the Baseline Monitoring and Reporting Plan, and as specified in the attached Analytical Cost Schedule (Table 3). Sample collection will include one duplicate and one blank sample per monitoring year for quality assurance procedures.
Aquatic toxicity will be monitored once per year, once during the month with the historically lowest flows (August). In accordance with the 2021 Permit, test species sensitivity is required to determine the most sensitive test species for future monitoring. NV5 has conducted the screening for weather during the 2021-2022 Season and determined H.zateca to be the most sensitive wet weather species.
However, only one dry weather test screening is scheduled for June 2022.
Therefore, an additional screening has been provided for the August 2022 dry Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing Amendment
Professional Services Agreement/John L. Hunter and Associates, Inc.

weather event for P. promelas, C. dubia, H. Azteca, and C. dilutes to complete the required sensitivity testing. Additional sample will be collected during one event for Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) in the event the toxicity is observed that triggers the TIE threshold in the toxicity test sample (i.e. 50% effect). However, based on toxicity test results from the first dry weather event in Fall 2021, no toxicity was observed at Site R1. Therefore, budget has been included for one TIE to be performed for the receiving water site R1 for one dry weather event. In the event that a TIE is not required (no significant toxicity), the remaining budget will be utilized for Task 4b TIEs as-needed.
Dry weather monitoring in May 2023 will also include one event for Benthic Macroinvertebrate Bioassessment in accordance with the Southern California Storm Water Monitoring Coalition (SMC) Regional Stream Bioassessment Program. Bioassessment is not recommended during the historically driest period (in August or September) as the SMC Bioassessment Program is aligned for taking representative and comparable samples in the spring or early summer.
Task 5 – Non-Stormwater Outfall Source Identification
The City is required to perform non-stormwater outfall screening and monitoring to meet the following objectives outlined in the Permit:
1. Develop criteria or other means to ensure that all outfalls with significant non-stormwater discharges are identified and assessed during the term of the Permit.
2. For outfalls determined to have significant non-stormwater flow, determine whether flows are the result of illicit discharges, authorized or conditionally exempt non-stormwater flows, natural flows, or from unknown sources.
3. Address illicit discharges in accordance with the IDDE Program (Part VIII.I of the Permit) for appropriate action.
4. Prioritize monitoring of outfalls considering the potential threat to the receiving water and applicable TMDL compliance schedules.
5. Based on existing screening or monitoring data or other institutional knowledge, assess the impact of non-stormwater discharges (other than identified illicit discharges) on the receiving water.
6. Conduct monitoring or other investigations to identify the source of pollutants in non-stormwater discharges, consistent with the IDDE Program.
7. Conduct monitoring or other investigations to identify the source of pollutants in non-stormwater discharges, consistent with the IDDE Program.
8. Use results of the screening process to evaluate the conditionally exempt non-stormwater discharges identified in Parts III.A.2 and III.A.3 of the Permit and take appropriate actions pursuant to Part III.A.5.c of the Permit for those discharges that have been found to be a source of pollutants.

9. Maximize the use of the City’s resources by integrating the screening and monitoring process into existing monitoring and/or screening efforts.
The City performed three (3) outfall screenings at major MS4 outfalls during the 2021-2022 monitoring year to identify significant non-stormwater outfalls.
Significant non-stormwater discharges are determined by one or more of the following characteristics:
1. Discharges from major outfalls subject to dry weather TMDLs.
2. Discharges that have caused or have the potential to cause overtopping of downstream diversions.
3. Discharges exceeding a threshold discharge rate as proposed by the City.
4. Discharges from areas where there is evidence of ongoing potential illegal dumping or illicit connections. This shall include evidence gathered from field observations and/or monitoring data.
5. Other characteristics as determined by the City and incorporated within the City’s screening program. If other characteristics are used, the City will provide a definition or a criterion for how a significant non-stormwater discharge will be determined. If the criterion is field measurements and/or water quality data, thresholds will be specified in the written procedures.
A total of two (2) significant non-stormwater outfalls were identified for source investigations during the 2021-2022 monitoring year screening and prioritization process. The City is required to conduct source investigations for outfalls identified to have significant non-stormwater discharge. The City is required to prioritize source investigations with consideration of dry weather TMDL compliance schedules, 303(d) listed waterbodies for dry weather constituents, dry weather receiving water monitoring data with recurring exceedances, geographic location, and other necessary factors.
During the 2022-2023 monitoring year, NV5 will conduct detailed upstream source investigations at two (2) significant non-stormwater outfalls to determine the sources (s) of significant non-stormwater discharge as outlined in the Permit:
1. If the source of a significant non-stormwater discharge is determined to be an illicit discharge, then the City will implement procedures to eliminate the discharge consistent with IDDE requirements.
2. If the source of a significant non-stormwater discharge is determined to be an NPDES permitted discharge, a discharge subject to a Record of Decision approved by U.S. EPA pursuant to section 121 of CERCLA, a conditionally exempt essential non-stormwater discharge, or entirely Staff Report – Resolution Authorizing Amendment

comprised of natural flows as defined at Part III.A.2 of the Permit, then the City will document the source.
3. If the source of a significant non-stormwater discharge is either unknown or a conditionally exempt, but non-essential, non-stormwater discharge, then the City will conduct monitoring required in Part VII.E of the Permit.
4. If the significant non-stormwater discharge is comprised of more than one source, then the City will attempt to quantify the relative contribution from each individual source or group of similar sources (e.g., irrigation overspray) and classify the contributions as authorized, conditionally exempt essential, natural, illicit discharge, conditionally exempt non- essential, or unknown.
5. If the source of a significant non-stormwater discharge is unknown, then the City will describe the efforts undertaken to identify the source.
Methods for identifying the source of non-stormwater discharge may include inspection and/or surveillance, discharge monitoring and data loggers, video or physical inspection, monitoring for indicator parameters (e.g., surfactants, chlorine, pyrethroids), or other means.
6. If a source of a significant non-stormwater discharge originates within an upstream jurisdiction, then the City will inform in writing both the
7. upstream jurisdiction and the Los Angeles Water Board within 30 days of determination of the presence of the discharge, all available characterization data, contribution determination efforts, and efforts taken to identify its source.
NV5 will provide with summary of the source investigation activities and findings.
Depending on the source (s) of the significant non-stormwater discharge at the two (2) significant non-stormwater outfalls, NV5 will provide recommendations for follow-up actions necessary to address the source (s) of the significant non- stormwater discharge according to the Permit requirements outlined above. The follow-up actions and any possible monitoring is not included in this proposal and will be conducted under a separate specific investigation scope of work (as- needed).
Task 6 – Analytical Data QA/QC, Data Tables, and CEDEN Formatting and Uploads

event and wet weather season hydrographs will be provided in both Excel and Adobe Acrobat format. Event rainfall summaries from each wet weather sampling event and wet weather season rainfall summaries will be provided in both Excel and Adobe Acrobat format.
Analytical data records (bookmarked PDF and EDD formats) will be generated by the laboratories and submitted to NV5 upon completion. NV5 will review, finalize, format, and submit all field and analytical data to JLHA.
Data verification will include a review for completeness and accuracy, review for outliers and omissions, and the use of performance criteria to identify laboratory quality control sample outliers. Data validation consists of accepting, rejecting, or applying qualifiers to data based on the QAPP, analytical method criteria, and professional judgement. Once the data has been appropriately reviewed and QA/QC performed, the results will be tabulated and reviewed for accuracy and completeness. Any qualified or missing results will be explained and noted.
NV5 will include the data from the required TMDL stations S10 and DOM-RW- DCE01 (via cost sharing agreements with the watershed groups).
Sample results and tables will be coordinated with JLHA and the City. Following approval, the results will be sent electronically per the Regional Board’s paperless office guidelines to [email protected]. The results will highlight exceedances of applicable WQBELs, receiving water limitations, action levels, or aquatic toxicity thresholds and include basic information regarding sampling dates, locations, or other pertinent documentation. Results will be transmitted using SMC Standardized Data Transfer Formats (SDTFs), which is equivalent to the California Data Exchange Network (CEDEN) format. The results will be provided to the Regional Board and uploaded directly to the CEDEN database.
In accordance with the 2021 Permit, results collected between January 1 through June 30 will be provided submitted by December 15 and results collected between July 1 through December 31 of the prior year will be submitted by June 15. NV5 will provide sufficient time for JLHA to review and comment on the draft report submittals prior to submitting the data to CEDEN.
Task 7 – Draft and Final Monitoring Report
NV5 will prepare a draft and final annual monitoring report. The draft report will be provided by August 30, 2022. The final report will be provided approximately two weeks after review by JLHA and the City (assuming two weeks for client review).
Comments will be addressed, and a final report will be provided via pdf (electronic delivery) by September 30, 2022.

Re: Proposal for City of Compton NPDES Monitoring and Reporting for the 2022-2023 Monitoring Year
Dear Mr. Hunter:
Alta Environmental, LP DBA NV5 (NV5) is pleased to submit this cost proposal to John L. Hunter and Associates, Inc. (JLHA) to provide monitoring services for the City of Compton’s (City) compliance with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requirements. This proposal provides monitoring services as outlined in the Baseline Monitoring and Reporting Plan to meet the intent of Enclosure 2 of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board’s (RWQCB) letter dated August 5, 2016 . The letter specifies the monitoring and reporting requirements of Attachment E of the NPDES Permit No.
CAS004001: Order No. R4-2012-0175 (Former Permit). The proposal has also been updated to include recent changes in accordance with Attachment E of the NPDES Permit No. CAS004004: Order No. R4- 2021-0105 (Permit)
This proposal provides monitoring services for one (1) receiving water site in Compton Creek, three (3) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) outfalls, and continued monitoring services for the Non- Stormwater Outfall-Based Screening and Monitoring Program requirements.
This proposal does not include services for the Dominquez Channel Estuary Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) monitoring site (DOM-RW-DCE01) and the Los Angeles River Mass Emission Site (S-10), which are supported via cost sharing agreements with the watershed groups. 1 SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1 – Project Management and Coordination
NV5 will conduct the planning, preparation, and subcontractor scheduling required for the proposed monitoring and reporting services. This task will include coordination with the client and the City as- needed, and attendance at up to one (1) kickoff meeting and one (1) mid-term project meeting. This task will also be used to provide project updates, communications, and project invoicing.
Task 2 –Coordination, Permitting, Access agreements with LADPW (1 Receiving Water Site (R1) and 3 MS4 Outfalls), and Updates to SAP/HASP NV5 will update necessary encroachment permits with Los Angeles County Flood Control (LACFD) for one (1) receiving water site in Compton Creek (R1) and three (3) MS4 Outfall sites in the City’s jurisdiction

2 (FS1, FS2, and FS6). Additionally, Letter of No Objection (LNO) or no fee Section 408 Permit will be obtained from the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) for access to Outfall FS1. Other permits, although not anticipated, will be obtained from other jurisdictions as-needed (e.g., Railway right of ways or Caltrans).
This task also includes any necessary updates to the site-specific health and safety plan (HASP) and Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP), which will be implemented during all proposed field activities. The SAP will define the final analyte list for the 2022-2023 Monitoring Season based on the 2021-2022 annual report assessment.
Task 3 – Equipment Installation, Maintenance, and Laboratory Coordination NV5 will procure equipment, obtain sample supplies, and coordinate with laboratories to ensure analytical procedures are well defined. Equipment will be installed and will include confined space entry as-needed, depending on the site access requirements. Flow meters, sample strainers, and sample tubing will be installed and maintained throughout the monitoring season. Site surveys (width, depth, roughness, and slope) will be performed at each location to define the flow meter parameter entries for ensuring accurate flow measurements. Autosamplers will be programmed accordingly for the sample pacing to ensure representative sample collection. All sampling equipment will be decontaminated prior to each sample event and stored bagged in clean enclosures prior to use.
Task 4a – Receiving Water Wet Weather Monitoring (3 Events x 1 sites) NV5 will perform wet weather monitoring at one (1) receiving water site (R1) in Compton Creek during three monitoring events. NV5 will target sampling the first significant rain event of the 2022-2023 wet season with a predicted rainfall of at least 0.25 inch at a 70 percent probability of rainfall at the National Weather Service (NWS) Rain Gauge Station (CMGC1) at Compton Creek (33.88/-118.22) at least 24 hours prior to the event start time will be targeted. Two subsequent storm events that forecast sufficient rainfall and runoff to meet program objectives and site-specific study needs will also be targeted. Sample events will be planned to be conducted (when possible, though not required) during similar events as the City of Los Angeles Monitoring Program for data comparability with the Dominguez Channel and Los Angeles River Monitoring Programs. Sampling events will be preceded by a minimum of three days of dry weather (less than 0.1 inch of rain each day) at NWS CMGC1 prior to the forecasted event. Receiving water monitoring will begin as soon as possible after storm water outfall-based monitoring in order to be reflective of potential impacts from MS4 discharges.”
Monitoring will include sample collection of a single grab sample using an autosampler pump and temporary tubing extended into the channel flow during or near the peak flow of the event (>20% of base - flow conditions and during obvious storm flow influences). The R1 Monitoring Site is not amenable for installing a permanent station due to a soft channel bottom that is periodically maintained by LACFD .
Samples will be collected and submitted to the laboratory under chain of custody and will be analyzed for the parameters listed in the Baseline Monitoring and Reporting Plan and as specified in the attached Analytical Cost Schedule (Table 3). Sample collection will include one duplicate and one blank sample per monitoring year for quality assurance procedures to represent the overall program. Aquatic toxicity will be monitored twice per year during the first and second sample events using the test species H. Azteca which was determined to be the most sensitive test species during screening in accordance with section IX.H.3 of the 2021 Permit. Additional sample will be collected during same two sample events for Toxicity Identification Evaluations (TIEs) in the event the toxicity is observed that triggers the TIE threshold in the toxicity test sample (i.e., ≥ 50% effect) (total of two TIEs per wet season). This assumes that a TIE will be

3 initiated and assumes it will be conclusive to indicate which pollutant class is likely cau sing toxicity and will be supported by chemistry data assessment. This task does include contingency for labor for up to one false start. Additional false starts will be coordinated as-needed through a change order process.
Task 4b – Wet Weather Outfall Monitoring (3 Events x 3 sites) NV5 will perform monitoring at three (3) MS4 Outfall sites (FS1, FS2, and FS6) at the same time and following the same mobilization criteria as listed in Task 4a. Monitoring will include sample collection using either time weighted sampling techniques in accordance with the Permit and SAP. Samples will be collected and submitted to the laboratory under chain of custody and will be an alyzed for all required parameters listed in the Baseline Monitoring and Reporting Plan, and as specified in the attached Analytical Cost Schedule (Table 3). Sample collection will include one duplicate and one blank sample per monitoring year for quality assurance procedures for Hi Resolution Pesticides and PCBs for FS6. The QC duplicate for R1 in Task 4a will be used for FS1 and FS2. Additional sample will be collected at FS1 and FS2 during the second event for Toxicity Identification Evaluations (TIEs) in the event the toxicity is observed that triggers the TIE threshold in the receiving water toxicity test sample (i.e., ≥ 50% effect).
Therefore, up to two toxicity tests using the test species H. Azteca would potentially be performed during the second wet event at the Outfalls FS1 and FS2, and one potential TIE has been budgeted in the event significant toxicity was identified at a given sample location. Additionally, based on the available of unused budget from the dry weather toxicity testing (Task 4c), and assuming no TIEs were required, NV5 will coordinate with JLHA to determine the best use of funds for assessing TIE requirements within the available budget. This task does include contingency for labor for up to one false start. Additional false starts will be coordinated as-needed through a change order process.
Task 4c – RW Dry Weather Monitoring (2 Events x 1 sites) NV5 will perform dry weather monitoring at one (1) receiving water site (R1) in Compton Creek. One event will be conducted during a month with the historically lowest baseflow or during the historically driest month of 2022 in accordance with the Permit (or upon approval of access agreements with LADPW). The other monitoring event will occur in May 2022. Dry weather monitoring will occur when preceded by at least 7 days of dry weather with no measurable precipitation at the National Weather Service Rain Gauge Station (CMGC1) at Compton Creek (33.88/-118.22). Monitoring will include sample collection using either flow weighted or time weighted sampling techniques in accordance with the Permit. Samples will be collected and submitted to the laboratory under chain of custody and will be analyzed for the parameters listed in the Baseline Monitoring and Reporting Plan, and as specified in the attached Analytical Cost Schedule (Table 3). Sample collection will include one duplicate and one blank sample per monitoring year for quality assurance procedures.
Aquatic toxicity will be monitored once per year, once during the month with the historically lowest flows (August). In accordance with the 2021 Permit, test species sensitivity is required to determine the most sensitive test species for future monitoring. NV5 has conducted the screening for wet weather during the 2021-2022 Season and determined H.azteca to be the most sensitive wet weather species. However, only one dry weather test screening is scheduled for June 2022. Therefore an additional screening has been provided for the August 2022 dry weather event for P. promelas, C. dubia, H. Azteca, and C. dilutus to complete the required sensitivity testing. Additional sample will be collected during the one event for

4 Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) in the event the toxicity is observed that triggers the TIE threshold in the toxicity test sample (i.e., ≥ 50% effect). However, based on toxicity test results from the first dry weather event Fall 2021, no toxicity was observed at Site R1. Therefore, budget has been included for one TIE to be performed for the receiving water site R1 for one dry weather event. In the event that a TIE is not required (no significant toxicity), the remining budget will be utilized for Task 4b TIEs as -needed.
Dry weather monitoring in May 2023 will also include one event for Benthic Macroinvertebrate Bioassessment in accordance with the Southern California Storm Water Monitoring Coalition (SMC) Regional Stream Bioassessment Program. Bioassessment is not recommended during the historically driest period (in August or September) as the SMC Bioassessment Program is aligned for taking representative and comparable samples in the spring or early summer.
Task 5 – Non-Stormwater Outfall Source Identification
The City is required to perform non-stormwater outfall screening and monitoring to meet the following objectives outlined in the Permit:
1. Develop criteria or other means to ensure that all outfalls with significant non-stormwater discharges are identified and assessed during the term of the Permit.
2. For outfalls determined to have significant non-stormwater flow, determine whether flows are the result of illicit discharges, authorized or conditionally exempt non-stormwater flows, natural flows, or from unknown sources.
3. Address illicit discharges in accordance with the IDDE Program (Part VIII.I of the Permit) for appropriate action.
4. Prioritize monitoring of outfalls considering the potential threat to the receiving water and applicable TMDL compliance schedules.
5. Based on existing screening or monitoring data or other institutional knowledge, assess the impact of non-stormwater discharges (other than identified illicit discharges) on the receiving water.
6. Conduct monitoring and assess the monitoring data to determine the impact of non-stormwater discharges on the receiving water.
7. Conduct monitoring or other investigations to identify the source of pollutants in non -stormwater discharges, consistent with the IDDE Program.
8. Use results of the screening process to evaluate the conditionally exempt non -stormwater discharges identified in Parts III.A.2 and III.A.3 of the Permit and take appropriate actions pursuant to Part III.A.5.c of the Permit for those discharges that have been found to be a source of pollutants.
9. Maximize the use of the City’s resources by integrating the screening and monitoring process into existing monitoring and/or screening efforts.
The City performed three (3) outfall screenings at major MS4 outfalls during the 2021-2022 monitoring year to identify significant non-stormwater outfalls. Significant non-stormwater discharges are determined by one or more of the following characteristics:
1. Discharges from major outfalls subject to dry weather TMDLs.
2. Discharges that have caused or have the potential to cause overtopping of downstream diversions.
3. Discharges exceeding a threshold discharge rate as proposed by the City.
4. Discharges from areas where there is evidence of ongoing potential illegal dumping or illicit connections. This shall include evidence gathered from field observations and/or monitoring data.
5. Other characteristics as determined by the City and incorporated within the City’s screening program. If other characteristics are used, the City will provide a definition or a criterion for how a significant non-stormwater discharge will be determined. If the criterion is field measurements and/or water quality data, thresholds will be specified in the written procedures.
NV5
JLHA-22-10887-Compton NPDES Monitoring & Reporting
March 29, 2022
5 A total of two (2) significant non-stormwater outfalls were identified for source investigations during the 2021-2022 monitoring year screening and prioritization process. The City is required to conduct source investigations for outfalls identified to have significant non-stormwater discharge. The City is required to prioritize source investigations with consideration of dry weather TMDL compliance schedules, 303(d) listed waterbodies for dry weather constituents, dry weather receiving water monitoring data with recurring exceedances, geographic location, and other necessary factors.
During the 2022-2023 monitoring year, NV5 will conduct detailed upstream source investigations at two (2) significant non-stormwater outfalls to determine the source(s) of significant non-stormwater discharge as outlined in the Permit:
1. If the source of a significant non-stormwater discharge is determined to be an illicit discharge, then the City will implement procedures to eliminate the discharge consistent with IDDE requirements.
2. If the source of a significant non-stormwater discharge is determined to be an NPDES permitted discharge, a discharge subject to a Record of Decision approved by U.S. EPA pursuant to section 121 of CERCLA, a conditionally exempt essential non-stormwater discharge, or entirely comprised of natural flows as defined at Part III.A.2 of the Permit, then the City will document the source.
3. If the source of a significant non-stormwater discharge is either unknown or a conditionally exempt, but non-essential, non-stormwater discharge, then the City will conduct monitoring required in Part VII.E of the Permit.
4. If the significant non-stormwater discharge is comprised of more than one source, then the City will attempt to quantify the relative contribution from each individual source or group of similar sources (e.g., irrigation overspray) and classify the contributions as authorized, conditionally exempt essential, natural, illicit discharge, conditionally exempt non-essential, or unknown.
5. If the source of a significant non-stormwater discharge is unknown, then the City will describe the efforts undertaken to identify the source. Methods for identifying the source of non -stormwater discharge may include inspection and/or surveillance, discharge monitoring and data loggers, video or physical inspection, monitoring for indicator parameters (e.g., surfactants, chlorine, pyrethroids), or other means.
6. If a source of a significant non-stormwater discharge originates within an upstream jurisdiction, then the City will inform in writing both the upstream jurisdiction and the Los Angeles Water Board within 30 days of determination of the presence of the discharge, all available characterization data, contribution determination efforts, and efforts taken to identify its source.
NV5 will provide with summary of the source investigation activities and findings. Depending on the source(s) of the significant non-stormwater discharge at the two (2) significant non-stormwater outfalls, NV5 will provide recommendations for follow up actions necessary to address the source(s) of the significant non-stormwater discharge according to the Permit requirements outlined above. The follow up actions and any possible monitoring is not included in this proposal and will be conducted under a separate specific investigation scope of work (as-needed).
Task 6 – Analytical Data QA/QC, Data Tables, and CEDEN Formatting and Uploads NV5 will review and finalize all flow data, prepare flow volume calculations, flow hydrographs and other appropriate information necessary for assessment. Once the data has been appropriately reviewed using quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedures, event flow hydrographs from each wet weather sampling event and wet weather season hydrographs will be provided in both Excel and Adobe Acrobat

6 format. Event rainfall summaries from each wet weather sampling event and wet weather season rainfall summaries will be provided in both Excel and Adobe Acrobat format.
Analytical data records (bookmarked PDF and EDD formats) will be generated by the laboratories and submitted to NV5 upon completion. NV5 will review, finalize, format, and submit all field and analytical data to JLHA.
Data verification will include a review for completeness and accuracy, review for outliers and omissions, and the use of performance criteria to identify laboratory quality control sample outliers. Data validation consists of accepting, rejecting, or applying qualifiers to data based on the QAPP, analytical method criteria, and professional judgment. Once the data has been appropriately reviewed and QA/QC performed, the results will be tabulated and reviewed for accuracy and completeness. Any qualified or missing results will be explained and noted.
NV5 will include the data from the required TMDL stations S10 and DOM-RW-DCE01 (via cost sharing agreements with the watershed groups).
Sample results and tables will be coordinated with JLHA and the City. Following approval, the results will be sent electronically per the Regional Board's paperless office guidelines to [email protected]. The results will highlight exceedances of applicable WQBELs, receiving water limitations, action levels, or aquatic toxicity thresholds and include basic information regarding sampling dates, locations, or other pertinent documentation. Results will be transmitted using SMC Standardized Data Transfer Formats (SDTFs), which is equivalent to the California Data Exchange Network (CEDEN) format. The results will be provided to the Regional Board and uploaded directly to the CEDEN database.
In accordance with the 2021 Permit, results collected between January 1 through June 30 will be provided submitted by December 15 and results collected between July 1 through December 31 of the prior year will be submitted by June 15. NV5 will provide sufficient time for JLHA to review and comment on the draft report submittals prior to submitting the data to CEDEN.
Task 7 – Draft and Final Monitoring Report
NV5 will prepare a draft and final annual monitoring report. The draft report will be provided by August 30, 2022. The final report will be provided approximately two weeks after review by JLHA and the City (assuming two weeks for client review). Comments will be addressed, and a final report will be provided via pdf (electronic delivery) by September 30, 2022.

7 2 PROJECT COST
NV5 proposes to implement the scope of work on a time-and-materials basis not to exceed a base cost of $ $292,024.10.
A Summary Cost Schedule and a Detailed Cost Schedule are attached in Table 1 and Table 2, respectively. Additional work provided beyond those services described will be provided on a time-and- materials basis. The Analytical Cost Schedule is attached in Table 3. 3 COST ASSUMPTIONS
1. Costs are provided for receiving water and MS4 Outfall sampling and reporting for sites in the City of Compton’s jurisdiction (R1, FS1, FS2, and FS6).
2. Permitting costs for LADPW access agreements are included at a rate of $1,439.00/area (1 for RW and 1 for three for MS4 Outfalls). This cost is estimated based on previous similar access agreements. If significant engineering drawings or extensive permitting costs exceed this value, NV5 will promptly notify JLHA to address LADPW’s concerns. It is also assumed that ACOE will not require a fee permit for the FS1 Site.
3. The estimated costs for Task 3 are based on establishing temporary monitoring stations for flow monitoring and autosamplers. Should permanent stations be needed and/or specific accommodations be required to obtain permits with LACFD or other jurisdictions, revisions to the cost estimate for this task will be needed.
4. Traffic control equipment will be required for site FS2.
5. Security Staffing has been included for sites FS1 and FS6 to prevent theft, vandalism, or personal safety concerns from transients during wet weather events (as-needed).
6. Work is dependent upon a sufficient number of storm events meeting sampling criteria.
7. If the source of a significant non-stormwater discharges under Task 5 is determined to be either an illicit discharge or either an unknown, or conditionally exempt, but non-essential, non-stormwater discharge that requires further assessment, such monitoring is not included in this proposal and will be determined under a separate specific investigation scope of work.
