Re: 2026-2029 On Call Public Works Services - 10 - NPDES Compliance Services Dear Mr. Perez:

Olaunu, LLC is pleased to submit our proposal to support the City of Laguna Beach (City) for On-Call Public Works Services, specifically NPDES Compliance Services. We understand the City is seeking highly qualified consultants who can provide responsive, technically sound, and reliable support aligned with regulatory obligations and operational needs. Olaunu is a company that brings a unique combination of local presence, direct City experience, and exceptional regional regulatory leadership that allows us to deliver immediate value as a seamless extension of City sta . These set us apart in several ways.

Local, South Orange County Based Team
Olaunu is incorporated in California with key team members that live and work in South Orange County. This enables us to provide responsive, in-person support. Our proximity allows us to be available for in person meetings, field needs, and urgent issues without delay, while bringing firsthand understanding of the coastal communities, priorities, and expectations that make Laguna Beach unique.

Prior Experience Leading the City of Laguna Beach NPDES Compliance Program The team brings direct experience managing the City of Laguna Beach NPDES program. Project Manager, Mary Vondrak, previously worked for the City and led the NPDES compliance program. This firsthand knowledge allows us to step in immediately with no learning curve, providing continuity, e ciency, and institutional knowledge.

Active Role Supporting the Lead NPDES Permittee Program Olaunu currently supports the County of Orange lead permittee compliance program for all Orange County municipalities. As advisor and developer of several program components, we understand the broader regional perspectives and can ensure Laguna Beach benefits from a coordinated e ort.

Olaunu is committed to serving as a trusted advisor to the City, providing responsive, high-quality support that gives Laguna Beach peace of mind regarding regulatory compliance, reduced risk, and proactive management of evolving regulatory requirements. We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and look forward to supporting the City of Laguna Beach.

Sincerely, ____________________________ Daniel Apt, President Docusign Envelope ID: 78624AA1-A273-8139-8100-DA2AB832615C City of Laguna Beach 2026-2029 On-Call Public Works Services Proposal Proposal for City of Laguna Beach 2026-2029 On-Call Public Works Services Submitted by Olaunu
PART I

1. Overview and Summary

1.1 UNDERSTANDING
The City of Laguna Beach is one of California’s most recognized coastal communities, with exceptional environmental resources, high public visibility, and a strong commitment to protecting water quality.

Maintaining compliance with municipal stormwater, wastewater, and related environmental regulations in Laguna Beach requires more than technical knowledge of permits and programs. It requires an understanding of the City’s unique geography, aging and modernized infrastructure systems, sensitive receiving waters, public expectations, operational constraints, and the importance of delivering practical solutions in a timely and professional manner.

Olaunu understands that NPDES compliance services must be responsive, flexible, and integrated with City operations. Regulatory requirements continue to evolve, reporting obligations remain complex, and public scrutiny is especially high in a community where beach water quality and environmental stewardship are central to the City’s identity. The City needs an on-call partner capable of stepping in quickly, solving problems efficiently, and supporting staff with seasoned judgment. What distinguishes our team is that we do not approach Laguna Beach as outsiders learning the City for the first time. Our team includes professionals who have directly managed Laguna Beach’s own compliance programs and who understand how to successfully navigate both regulatory obligations and day-to-day municipal realities.

1.2 OLAUNU’S VALUE
Olaunu is prepared to deliver all of the services noted in Attachment 2, number 10 NPDES Compliance Services, of the RFQ. Olaunu offers the City a highly effective alternative to large consulting firms that often rely on multiple layers of management and junior staff. Instead, we provide direct access to senior professionals who can assess issues quickly, communicate clearly, and deliver work products efficiently.

Our team is based nearby in San Clemente, which allows us to be highly responsive for meetings, inspections, emergency support, or coordination with City staff. More importantly, Olaunu brings direct institutional knowledge of Laguna Beach. Our proposed Project Manager previously served as the City’s Senior Water Quality Analyst and was responsible for managing the work under this scope. That experience reduces ramp-up time, improves continuity, and gives the City confidence that assigned personnel understand both the technical requirements and the City’s expectations. Lastly, our team brings broader Orange County and Southern California experience supporting municipalities, counties, and public agencies with permit compliance, inspections, training, water quality programs, stormwater capture planning, and regulatory implementation.

1.3 COMPANY DATA
Olaunu’s Vendor Information Form is included as Attachment A. 2. Staffing and References

2.1 STAFFING PLAN
To successfully address NPDES Permit Compliance Services, the City will benefit from Olaunu’s specialized experience and local knowledge. The Olaunu team has experience working directly with the City along with all of the other municipalities in the County through work being performed assisting the lead permittee on Regional compliance efforts. Our team will be led by Mary Vondrak, as Project Manager, who has over 22 years of experience in Municipal Stormater NPDES Permit Compliance. She will leverage her extensive knowledge of the City with the support of a team of experts in Green Infrastructure, water quality monitoring, permit negotiations, inspection programs, and reporting. Our project team organization is outlined in the following chart.

PROPOSED CATEGORY – 10 NPDES COMPLIANCE SERVICES

3. Overview and Understanding
The City of Laguna Beach is a co-permittee under the current San Diego Regional Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit issued by the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board and is subject to a uniquely complex regulatory environment compared with most jurisdictions in the region. Laguna Beach is distinguished by its extensive coastline, direct ocean discharges, Areas of Special Biological Significance (ASBS), and adjacent Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), all of which elevate the importance of stormwater quality, runoff management, and pollutant prevention. The City is also subject to bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements and ongoing watershed-based compliance obligations intended to protect public health and coastal receiving waters. With the Regional Water Board actively developing the next iteration of the municipal permit, evaluating potential revisions to existing compliance frameworks, and reopening the bacteria TMDL for reconsideration, this is a critical time for Laguna Beach to understand both current obligations and the future regulatory implications for City operations, capital planning, enforcement, and community expectations. Olaunu is exceptionally well positioned to assist the City in navigating these responsibilities by supporting implementation of the current permit while proactively tracking emerging regulatory changes and translating them into practical, cost-effective strategies for continued compliance and environmental stewardship.

3.4 TECHNICAL APPROACH TO ON-CALL NPDES COMPLIANCE SERVICES Olaunu’s approach to the On-Call NPDES Compliance Services is to function as a seamless extension of City staff. We understand that on-call contracts are most successful when consultants are easy to work with, responsive to changing priorities, and capable of independently advancing projects with minimal administrative burden. Upon receiving a task order request, we will promptly meet with City staff to confirm objectives, scope, schedule, budget, and communication expectations. Olaunu will meet with the City monthly with the goal of providing an update on City specific compliance requirements, upcoming deadlines, and summaries of important updates from the County and Regulators. We prioritize communication, realistic scheduling, and regular coordination with City management so emerging issues can be addressed before they become problems. Additional meetings may be required for communications with regulators, or updates to regulations as they become available. During unplanned emergency conditions, we can rapidly reallocate resources and provide focused support. During reporting seasons, we can shift emphasis toward deliverable production and deadline management. Flexibility is one of the key advantages of an experienced team. In our approach to project management, we understand that the Docusign Envelope ID: 78624AA1-A273-8139-8100-DA2AB832615C City needs clear, defensible work products that can withstand regulator review while remaining practical for staff to implement.

Beyond core compliance support, Olaunu can help the City modernize and strengthen program delivery through practical tools such as mobile inspection forms, dashboard summaries for management, preventive maintenance prioritization, and standard operating procedures that improve consistency across departments. Because our team has worked both inside public agencies and as consultants, we understand how to implement improvements that are realistic and sustainable.

3.4.1 Subcommittee Meeting Attendance
The County of Orange, as Lead Permittee, coordinates subcommittee meetings to provide regular forums for engagement on key permit implementation issues. The Olaunu Team will provide comprehensive support to the City of Laguna Beach through active participation in the NPDES-related subcommittee meetings that are critical to regional program implementation and regulatory coordination. Our approach is to serve as both a technical resource and strategic advisor, ensuring the City remains informed, engaged, and well-positioned in regional decision-making processes. Our team will review materials and provide the necessary feedback to the County from the perspective of the City.

All meeting notes and materials will be uploaded to a shared folder for City access. Key information and decision points will be discussed at the monthly meetings with the City.

Mary Vondrak will lead this effort, bringing seven years of direct experience representing the City of Laguna Beach at these same meetings during her tenure as Senior Water Quality Analyst. Through this experience, she developed a deep understanding of the City’s unique priorities, including its coastal setting, hillside constraints, and heightened regulatory exposure due to ASBS and bacteria TMDL requirements. Mary will provide continuity by effectively bridging communication between regional bodies and City staff, advising when issues warrant involvement from specific departments, legal counsel, or executive leadership, and ensuring that City perspectives are clearly and strategically represented.

Olaunu’s strength is further enhanced by its direct involvement at both the municipal and regional levels. Daniel Apt’s ongoing work supporting the County of Orange and advising on countywide stormwater program elements provides valuable insight into the development and direction of regional initiatives, allowing the City to stay ahead of compliance goals and decisions. Additionally, through our partnership with Larry Walker Associates, the team brings advanced regulatory expertise. This capability is especially critical as the Regional Board develops the next MS4 permit iteration and reopens the Beaches and Creeks bacteria TMDL, both of which will significantly impact obligations and costs. The City will benefit from the teams ability to interpret, advise, and advocate for practical, achievable regulatory outcomes.

3.4.3 Support for Development Projects
The Olaunu Team will provide comprehensive support to the City of Laguna Beach for development project review and compliance with NPDES Permit requirements through a structured, end-to-end Docusign Envelope ID: 78624AA1-A273-8139-8100-DA2AB832615C approach that integrates technical review, coordination, and long-term tracking. Our services will include review of Water Quality Management Plans (WQMPs) or Water Pollution Control Plans (WPCPs) for both public and private development projects, beginning at initial project intake and continuing through final building approval and permit closeout. Mary Vondrak will lead this effort, bringing over 13 years of experience managing WQMP processes, including seven years directly overseeing this work for the City of Laguna Beach. She understands the City’s internal workflows and has extensive experience coordinating with the Community Development Department, applicants, and consultants throughout the project lifecycle. The Olaunu Team will review project plans to evaluate whether WQMP requirements apply and provide clear actionable comments to applicants and City staff. We will track project status, coordinate with the City’s WQMP plan check consultant or perform plan checks in-house to verify compliance with MS4 permit requirements. During active construction, we will coordinate with the City’s Water Quality Inspector to ensure structural BMPs are being installed to plan and protected during construction to maintain integrity of the systems. We will verify the WQMPs are recorded with the County before the final permit sign off. Finally, the team will establish and maintain a tracking system for post construction WQMP properties and associated BMPs to support long-term operation and maintenance compliance and provide the City with accessible, organized records that can be produced during future audits. We will coordinate annual communication with the legally responsible parties for public and private development projects and record their maintenance compliance. This information will be provided in the annual report to the Regional Board.

Olaunu has extensive experience with WQMPs. This not only includes experience developing WQMPs for numerous development projects, including those subject to the San Diego Regional MS4 Permit, but also with the plan check of WQMPs and other MS4 Permit post-construction or new and redevelopment requirements. Additionally, Olaunu is a leader and on the forefront of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI), Low Impact Development and stormwater capture systems. Daniel Apt is an expert in the field including GSI, LID, and integrated water planning, design, construction oversight, inspection, monitoring, WQMP and design plan check, maintenance specifications, technical guidance, and training. Tom Bonigut is a California licensed Professional Engineer with expertise in developing and plan checking WQMPs, BMP stormwater retrofits and green infrastructure with extensive experience developing WQMPs and plan checking structural stormwater BMPs. As needed, Olaunu may also provide services as a liaison with regulatory and resource agencies, including the Regional Water Quality Control Board, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Coastal Commission, to support permitting and compliance alignment. Olaunu staff has experience and relationships with each of the above identified resource agencies and will utilize this when coordination is needed with these agencies for the City of Laguna Beach.

3.4.4 Municipal Staff Training and Coordination
Olaunu has substantial experience developing workforce training that is practical, engaging, and tailored to relatable work situations. Whether the topic is BMP maintenance, inspection procedures, spill response, or documentation standards, our goal is to strengthen internal City capability and compliance.

Our approach is to align training with the City’s existing structure, responsibilities, and workflows to Docusign Envelope ID: 78624AA1-A273-8139-8100-DA2AB832615C ensure that staff not only understand regulatory requirements but are equipped to implement them effectively. Mary Vondrak will lead this effort, bringing direct experience training Laguna Beach municipal staff during her tenure with the City. Her familiarity with the City’s departments, staff roles, and operational priorities allows her to tailor training content to specific audiences, whether field inspectors, maintenance staff, planners, or management, ensuring that each group receives relevant, actionable guidance. Because she understands how the City functions and the types of challenges staff encounter, training sessions will focus on NPDES compliance as it relates to real-world scenarios, common compliance issues, and practical solutions that can be implemented immediately. This familiarity also enables seamless coordination across departments, eliminating the learning curve typically associated with onboarding a new consultant and allowing Olaunu to deliver value from the outset. Customized in depth training would be coordinated with the City and conducted annually for targeted departments that have core activities that require knowledge and implementation of NPDES compliance measures and more broadly as an onboarding requirement for new employees.

Olaunu’s training capabilities are further strengthened by the expertise of Daniel Apt, a recognized industry leader and Trainer of Record for the Statewide Construction General Permit, as a certified trainer for the National Green Infrastructure Certification Program (NGICP). Daniel helped to develop the stormwater training program for the County of Orange and was the first California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) Training Subcommittee Co-Chair for its first 10 years of its existence. Daniel has trained thousands of municipal staff and industry professionals on stormwater compliance, certification programs, and best practices, bringing a depth of technical knowledge and instructional experience that ensures training is both accurate and engaging. Olaunu is at the forefront of changes to NPDES mandates and regulations and can provide a unique combination of local insight and statewide expertise to keep City staff abreast of the latest regulations and impacts to the City. Our approach ensures that municipal staff are well-informed, coordinated, and prepared to meet the City’s high standards for environmental protection and public service.

3.5.5 Code Enforcement and Spill Response Coordination
When illicit discharges, nuisance flows, spills, or public complaints arise, the City needs to rapidly mobilize to investigate conditions, trace likely sources, document findings, and recommend corrective actions. We recognize that timely response is especially important in Laguna Beach, where environmental incidents can quickly become visible community concerns. The Olaunu Team will support the City of Laguna Beach with a structured, defensible approach to NPDES-related code enforcement coordination and spill response, ensuring all activities are consistent with the City’s Storm Water Management and Urban Runoff Enforcement Response Plan. Our role will focus on coordination, documentation, and compliance oversight to ensure that all incidents are properly tracked, reported, and resolved in accordance with regulatory expectations. Emergency spill response and cleanup will continue to be conducted by City staff and the County of Orange’s 24-hour emergency response personnel while Olaunu will act as a liaison between the City and these responders to ensure alignment with NPDES requirements. Services will include coordination and advisory support for Code Enforcement and Emergency Response staff, documenting incidents, maintaining organized and audit-ready records, Docusign Envelope ID: 78624AA1-A273-8139-8100-DA2AB832615C supporting regulatory reporting, and providing follow-up services to confirm proper cleanup, compliance, and, when necessary, enforcement actions. This approach ensures that spill response efforts are not only effective in the field, but also fully defensible from a regulatory and audit perspective while maintaining fiscal accountability.

Olaunu’s strength in this area is grounded in direct experience. Mary Vondrak previously supervised spill response staff for the City of Laguna Beach and coordinated efforts between City personnel and the County’s emergency response contractors. She has trained and worked closely with emergency responders, marine safety personnel, utilities field staff, and code enforcement officers to ensure consistent and effective responses to water quality incidents. Building on this experience, the Olaunu Team will provide targeted training and ongoing guidance to City emergency, field, and code enforcement staff to strengthen response protocols and ensure alignment with the City’s enforcement framework. Our approach would entail reviewing existing processes and procedures with representatives from each emergency response department to ensure alignment with current standards and compliance protocols. We would ensure clarity for response to spills or discharges and proper procedures were being performed. We would also ensure proper documentation protocols and notifications were being routed to appropriate contacts. Proactive coordination, clear communication, and thorough documentation will allow the City to respond efficiently to incidents while maintaining a high level of regulatory compliance and program defensibility.

3.5.6 Facility Inspections
The Olaunu Team will support the City of Laguna Beach with a coordinated, data-driven approach to commercial, industrial, and municipal facility inspections for both NPDES and FOG compliance. Our role will focus on program management, oversight, and compliance assurance to ensure inspections are conducted consistently, documented properly, and aligned with permit requirements. Olaunu will curate and maintain an annual inspection inventory, prioritize facilities based on risk and regulatory requirements, and track inspection completion and follow-up actions through a robust and intuitive database. Olaunu will provide oversight to the City’s existing FOG and facility inspection consultant, municipal staff, or other agents, to ensure inspections are conducted in conformance with applicable permits and City standards. This includes reviewing inspection results, identifying compliance issues, coordinating with City staff for enforcement actions, and ensuring all activities are well-documented and audit ready. The team has the capability to provide dashboards and reporting tools to give the City clear visibility into inspection status, trends, and compliance outcomes.

For municipal facilities, Olaunu will work closely with existing City field staff to integrate NPDES facility inspection requirements into their current workflows wherever feasible, minimizing disruption while enhancing compliance. For higher priority or more complex municipal facilities, Olaunu can perform inspections directly or provide supplemental support as needed. In addition, Olaunu will either support or perform the City’s annual inspections of public WQMP facilities to verify proper operation and maintenance. Olaunu assisted the City with WQMP inspections, WQMP inspection protocols, and WQMP inspection training in the past. The team can also provide targeted training to City staff on WQMP facility operation and maintenance to strengthen internal capabilities and ensure long-term Docusign Envelope ID: 78624AA1-A273-8139-8100-DA2AB832615C compliance. Olaunu’s strength in this area is grounded in long-standing relationships, program knowledge, and practical implementation experience. Mary Vondrak has worked closely with the City’s FOG inspector for over 13 years and understands how inspection programs integrate across NPDES and wastewater compliance efforts. This continuity allows Olaunu to seamlessly coordinate between inspectors and City staff, ensuring efficient communication, consistent expectations, and effective program management. Where special monitoring studies are required, Olaunu can deploy LWA to perform sampling, receiving water assessments, pollutant source studies, and data interpretation. We can then translate technical findings into clear recommendations, actions, and reporting documents for City use.

3.5.7 Annual Report Preparation
The Olaunu Team will provide comprehensive support for preparation of the City of Laguna Beach’s NPDES Permit Compliance Annual Report through a structured, collaborative, and audit-ready approach.

Our process begins with early coordination across City departments to identify data needs, establish timelines, and ensure consistent tracking of program activities throughout the reporting year. Olaunu will compile, review, and synthesize information from multiple sources including inspections, development review, enforcement actions, public outreach, and WQIP-related activities. These will be drafted into a clear, accurate, and well-organized report that demonstrates compliance with MS4 permit requirements. Emphasis will be placed on ensuring that all documentation is complete, consistent, and aligned with regulatory expectations, while also streamlining the reporting process to reduce the burden on City staff. Our approach ensures that the Annual Report is not only compliant, but also defensible and efficient to produce year after year.

Olaunu’s strength in this area is led by Mary Vondrak, who coordinated the City’s Annual Report for approximately seven years during her tenure with Laguna Beach and has continued to support report preparation as a consultant in recent years. She brings a deep understanding of the City’s program history, past reporting approaches, and the internal coordination required to successfully develop the report. Mary recognizes that the Annual Report is not only a regulatory requirement, but also an opportunity to showcase the City’s accomplishments. The Olaunu Team will highlight areas where the City excels, align reporting themes with City Council priorities, and clearly communicate the value of the City’s programs to both regulators and the community. Olaunu will coordinate to provide data to the County of Orange and the Regional Water Board by the respective reporting deadlines.

4. PROJECT CONTROLS
Olaunu places strong emphasis on accountability. All major deliverables undergo Quality Control reviews prior to submittal to verify technical accuracy, clarity, and consistency with City direction. We believe quality review saves time, protects the City, and reduces avoidable revisions. We understand the importance of staying within authorized budgets. For each task order, we track scope progress, labor utilization, and schedule status so the City receives early notice of any possibility of changing conditions.

Invoices will be timely, transparent, and easy to review. Each invoice will clearly identify task order numbers, staff classifications, hours worked, progress completed, and current status.

Docusign Envelope ID: 78624AA1-A273-8139-8100-DA2AB832615C Olaunu offers City of Laguna Beach a rare combination of direct City experience, regional regulatory expertise, engineering capability, and highly responsive local service.
