STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:
This item supports the 2020-2025 Strategic Plan’s Service and Delivery Goals & Strategies - Building a High-Performing Organization by Attracting and Retaining High Performance Employees.
BACKGROUND:
The City recognizes the right of all employees to a safe workplace. The City values the importance of education and training for all staff to ensure safe work practices are understood and adhered to, and to aid in recognizing and mitigating hazards in the workplace.
The Human Resources Department recognizes the need for outside safety training and consultation services to maintain compliance with Federal, State, and local workplace safety regulations. These comprehensive training requirements apply to employees across multiple departments, industries, and working environments and collectively exceed the City’s internal resources and capacity to address on our own. The training and consultation services in this agreement will be instrumental in providing City employees with critical and timely safety training to meet those requirements.

Finance Committee, April 13, 2022
Agreement with NATEC International for Safety Consultation and Training Services
Over the past several years, the City has bolstered its internal safety resources, adding both a Safety Officer and Safety Specialist position in the Risk Management Division in 2018 and 2020, respectively. The Safety Officer will have the lead role in administering this agreement, and will work with the vendor to identify, prioritize and deliver all required safety training, with the goal of increasing efficiency and effectiveness of the safety training program where possible.
On May 7, 2019, by Resolution No. 2019-227, Council approved the award of proposal and contract for the furnishing of safety consultation and training services to Du-All Safety for a term of two years. On April 27, 2021, by Resolution No. 2021-159, Council approved an extension of that agreement through May 6, 2022 to allow staff time to complete a Request for Proposals (RFP) to renew or replace the existing agreement without a significant service disruption.
DISCUSSION:
With the current agreement approaching the end of its term, the City Manager authorized the Purchasing Manager to issue a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) for the furnishing of safety consultation and training services. The Purchasing Division issued RFP No. 2021-18 Safety Consultation and Training Services on November 9, 2021.
Proposals were formally opened in the City Clerk’s office. Twenty-eight (28) companies chose to download the document. Four (4) companies provided responsive and responsible proposals and one (1) company was non-responsive.
An evaluation committee comprised of City staff representing the Human Resources, Public Works, and Utilities Departments, and the Modesto City Employees’ Association, evaluated and graded the proposals.
Based on being ranked highest in total evaluation criteria, the evaluation committee recommends the award of proposal for safety consultation and training services to NATEC International, Inc., of Anaheim, CA, for an estimated annual cost of $115,000.
NATEC’s proposal demonstrated the company has decades of experience helping public entities similar to the City of Modesto achieve and maintain compliance with the Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), also known as Cal/OSHA, and other regulatory agencies’ requirements. NATEC’s services have been successfully utilized for consultation and training by over 300 clients nationwide, making them one of the largest Environmental Health & Safety companies in the State of California. With a wide-range of certified and specialized instructors on staff, NATEC is able to perform more than the full scope of services requested in the RFP. NATEC’s staff includes:
Certified Industrial Hygienists
Certified Safety Professionals
Certified Health and Safety
Technicians
AHA & Medic First Aid/CPR/AED
Instructors
NCCCO Certified Instructors
OSHA Outreach Instructors
Certified Asbestos Consultants
HAZMAT Specialists
CDPH Lead Professionals
Approving this agreement will authorize the necessary funds and authority to provide continuous, ongoing mandatory training. Staff recommends an agreement to provide regulatory #1..

Finance Committee, April 13, 2022
Agreement with NATEC International for Safety Consultation and Training Services
safety training to the City for an initial term of two (2) years with the option to add three (3) oneyear extensions, at the sole discretion of the City, for an annual cost not to exceed $115,000 and a total cost not to exceed $575,000.
Modesto Municipal Code Section 8-3.203 generally requires all purchases, which meet or exceed $50,000 for material, equipment or contractual services to be formally bid. The award of proposal and contract for safety consultation and training services to NATEC International, Inc., Anaheim, CA, conforms to the Modesto Municipal Code 8-3.203 because they had the highestranking score across all evaluation criteria.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds for these services are already budgeted in department’s FY21/22 budgets. Training expenses for FY 19/20 and 20/21 was $192,231 and $95,176 respectively. With the current alternative resources available, the scope of work has been refined. It is estimated that the majority of costs will be incurred by the below funds, with the remainder of the expenses split among all other funds over the term of the agreement:
Fund # Fund Name Percent Estimated Total Cost
4210 Wastewater 40.40% $232,300
4100 Water 21.10% $121,325
1700 Surface Transportation 8.80% $50,600
4891 Compost 5.40% $31,050
4892 Green Waste 4.10% $23,575

Interested parties protesting procurements exceeding $250,000.00 shall comply with the procedures contained herein, except that in lieu of appeal to the Deputy City Manager, a protestor may request that the protest be heard and decided at an administrative hearing.
A written request for administrative hearing shall be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check in the amount of $1,500.00, (EXCEPT FOR PROTESTS OF FEDERALLY FUNDED PROJECTS; Refer to Purchasing Procedures Manual for the Transit Division and Federal Transit Administration Funded Purchases, Chapter 14) payable to the City of Modesto, and shall be received by the Purchasing Manager not later than fifteen (15) days after dispatch of the Purchasing Manager's decision. The request for hearing shall include the specific grounds of the appeal.
The City of Modesto shall select and engage an impartial and qualified person to act as hearing officer in the pending protest. The protestor shall have the right to twice reject the selected hearing officer, provided that the City is notified of such rejection within three (3) days of notice to protestor of the name of the hearing officer.
The protest shall be heard not later than twenty (20) days after receipt of protestor's request for hearing and the selection of a hearing officer. Protests not heard in a timely manner shall be deemed withdrawn, unless the City and the protestor mutually agree otherwise in writing. The protestor’s failure to accept a hearing officer after the third attempt by City staff to identify an impartial hearing officer shall be deemed a withdrawal of the protest.
The costs of the hearing officer and expenses of the protest shall be borne by the protestor. The sums deposited with the request for hearing shall be credited to the costs of the hearing officer and other hearing expenses.
The decision of the hearing officer shall be deemed as the final decision of the City, and no other appeal to City Staff or body shall be permitted.
D. PROCUREMENTS OBTAINED WITH FEDERAL FUNDS
#1..
- 56 -
32 1. If the protested procurement involves federal funds, e.g., from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) of the United States, the Deputy City Manager, City Council, or hearing officer shall give notice, accompanying their respective decisions, to the protestor that he or she has the right to appeal to the appropriate federal agency, for which an agency name, contact (where available) and address shall be provided by City staff. Such an appeal shall be filed with the appropriate agency within seven (7) business days of the dispatch or rejection notices to the protestor. Federal agencies may entertain protests alleging that the City has failed to adopt written protest procedures or has failed to follow such procedures. Appeals to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) shall comply with FTA Circular 4220.1E and the amendments and supplements thereto.
Additional information regarding protesting procurements obtained with Federal Funds can be found in the Purchasing Procedures Manual for the Transit Division and Federal Transit Administration Funded Purchases, Chapter 14.
2. The City Council is the highest authority of the City of Modesto. It is possible that the City Council may reverse the decision of any City staff member at the hearing before Council on the procurement at hand. In such cases, no internal appeal is possible since staff may in no case reverse a City Council decision. In such an event, a disappointed transit bidder or a contract involving expenditures of Federal funds shall have the right to appeal the City Council decision directly to the Federal Transit Administration. #1..

Stormwater runoff can be defined as the water
that flows over the land from rainfall during or after a storm event or as a result of snowmelt. Generally, part of this runoff will be absorbed through infiltration, while the rest will make its way to the streams and lakes.
This runoff must be controlled. The Clean Water Act
requires that Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans
(SWPPPs) be prepared and implemented at construction
sites and anywhere that industrial runoff occurs.
Three categories of control practices must be implemented:
• Erosion Control Practices
• Sediment Control Practices
• General Site and Materials Management
NATEC are benchmark leaders in stormwater
management. From initial conception to final
completion, we are your partners for
stormwater compliance needs.

Stormwater Monitoring
The challenge in reducing stormwater pollution with such a wide range of variables begins with stormwater monitoring.
There is an increasing focus on our state's natural resources and the potential contamination from stormwater runoff.
We see state and local agencies widening their regulatory authority to reduce the potential for contaminants entering the environment. Agencies are more closely scrutinizing such things as management and pollution prevention from stormwater runoff.
We have a vast network of QSD, QSP, and Stormwater
Technicians to support your site's storm water monitoring requirements.
NATEC can support in:
• Preparing sampling & analysis plans
• Installing monitoring stations
• Collecting runoff samples
• Analyzing for constituents
• Validating data
• Using data to characterize runoff quality
and compare constituents detected at
different sites
• Put findings in statewide characterization
annual report (required by NPDES permit)
Stormwater sampling and data is overseen
by a QSD and if necessary, a CIH.

Construction
Site Mana ement- BMPS
Controlling Material Pollution & Managing Construction Waste Construction Site Management (CSM) is a Standard Special Provision (SSP) that appears in CalTrans contracts. It requires controlling potential sources of water pollution that may come in contact with stormwater flows, storm drain systems or watercourses. Construction Site Management is defined as the "proper management of construction activities to preserve living and non-living elements of the ecological, environmental, aesthetic, and social landscape." The Contractor's Role
The Contractor is responsible for controlling material pollution and for managing wastes and nonstormwater water created by contractor activities during construction by implementing effective storage, handling, use, and disposal practices. The Contractor is also responsible for training all employees and subcontractors regarding:
A. Materials pollution prevention and control
B. Waste Management
C. Non-Stormwater Management
D. Identifying and handling hazardous substances
E. Potential dangers to humans and the environment from spills, leaks or exposure to toxic or hazardous substances.

Construction Safety Inspections
Construction safety inspections are the most effective means of identifying hazardous conditions at the worksite. Construction sites require constant monitoring and observations to keep ahead of safety issues. NATEC provides Site Inspection services for construction sites. Our safety professionals have been successfully performing construction safety inspections on some of the largest projects in the U.S.
NATEC works with our clients to identify potential OSHA violations and state violations, liability issues and risk exposures. We work with our clients to mitigate hazards and help keep your employees safe.
The best defense against injury and loss is a comprehensive understanding of risks and deficiencies within your construction company and projects. Through job site safety inspections and observations at your construction projects, our professionals will develop a useful and practical analysis of safety issues, along with recommendations for remediation of problems.

Air Monitoring
& Soil Sam lin
Soil Sampling
In the planning and execution of construction operations, it is vital to know as much information of engineering significance as possible about the subsurface conditions in the construction area.
That information includes not only the location, extent, and condition of the soil layers, but also the elevation of the groundwater table and bedrock; the drainage characteristics of the surface and subsurface soils; and the location of possible borrow areas from which soil and other mineral product materials may be "borrowed" for a construction operation. Soil surveys are conducted to gather (explore) this information.
NATEC provides soil sampling including, but not limited to the following techniques:
• Surface Samples
• Existing Excavation Samples
• Test Pits and Test Holes
Air Monitoring
The primary objective of an air monitoring program is to analyze the ambient air at a site during or prior to remedial action. Using a set of established protocols and contingency actions, we strive to manage the key aspects of air monitoring for all of our clientele.
Our services include:
• Monitoring levels of compounds in ambient air prior to or during remedial action • Documenting the ambient air conditions
• Identifying the need to implement mitigating abatement actions to reduce levels of airborne target compounds

Plans & Procedures
Hazardous Materials Management Plan (HMMP)
The purpose of the Hazardous Materials Plan, per CUPA,
is to prevent or minimize the damage to public health
and safety and the environment, from a release or
threatened release of hazardous materials. It also
satisfies community right-to-know laws. This is
accomplished by requiring businesses that handle
hazardous materials in quantities equal to or greater
than 55 gallons of a liquid, 500 pounds of a solid, or
200 cubic feet of compressed gas, or extremely
hazardous substances above the threshold planning
quantity (40 CFR, Part 355, Appendix A) to:
• Inventory their hazardous materials,
• Develop a site map,
• Develop an emergency plan, and
• Implement a training program for employees
NATEC is committed to assisting our clients with regulatory compliance and thedevelopment of their Hazardous
Material Management Plan(s).
ROUTINE, TRANSPORT, USE OR DISPOSAL OF
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS CONSTRUCTION
Construction sites may require the limited use of some
hazardous materials, including, but not limited to the
following: gasoline, diesel, motor oil, hydraulic oil,
solvents, and paint.
Improper management of hazardous materials during
construction and operational phases of the development
could pose a hazard to human health and the environment.
However, management of hazardous materials during and
after construction should follow best management practices and applicable laws regarding hazardous materials.
NATEC is committed to assisting our clients with
regulatory compliance and the development of their
Hazardous Material Management Plan(s).
NATEC assures regulatory compliance with:
Department of Transportation
Transportation of hazardous materials on the highways is regulated through the Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) and the California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans).
Department ofToxic Substance Control
The Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) regulates hazardous waste, cleans up existing contamination and looks for ways to reduce the hazardous waste produced in California.
DTSC regulates hazardous waste in California primarily under the authority of RCRA and the California Health and Safety Code. DTSC oversees the implementation of the hazardous waste generator and onsite treatment program.
Local and Regional Requirements
Local responsibility for hazardous materials oversight, permitting, and regulation is through the Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPA). These programs were developed
when the State of California delegated responsibility to local jurisdictions.

Environmental Site
Assessments - Phase I
Phase I Environmental Assessments
Phase I Environmental Site Assessments are a common requirement today for most real estate transactions. Typically, the purchaser or the bank that is financing the purchase will require a Phase 1 assessment of the property to qualify for the CERCLA "Innocent Land Owner Defense", which is designed to allow the owner of contaminated property to defend against liability for hazardous substances that were put on the property by an unrelated third party.
During the Phase 1 site assessment, the property is site inspected by our Certified Inspector, and a thorough mile radius survey is compiled from state and federal historical data of properties with underground storage tanks/wells, or hazardous chemicals. The report delivery is within 7-15 business days.
The actual sampling of soil, air, groundwater and/or building materials is typically not conducted during a Phase I ESA. The Phase I ESA is generally considered the first step in the process of environmental due diligence.
If a site is considered contaminated, a Phase II environmental site assessment is recommended.
Standard Scope:
• Performance of an on-site visit to view present conditions (chemical spill residue, die-back of vegetation, etc.); hazardous substances or petroleum products usage (presence of above ground or underground storage tanks, storage of acids, etc.); and evaluate any likely environmentally hazardous site history
• Evaluation of risks of neighboring properties upon the subject property • Review of Federal, State, Local and Tribal Records out to distances specified by the ASTM 1528 and Ml Standards (ranging from 1/8 to 1 mile depending on the database) • Interview of persons knowledgeable regarding the property history (past owners, present owner, key site manager, present tenants, neighbors).
• Report Generation and Submittal to Client

Environmental Site
Assessments - Phase 11
Phase II Environmental Site Assessments
Phase II Environmental Assessments typically involves the testing of soil and groundwater on the property. Some of the most common reasons a Phase II may need to be conducted include, but are not limited to, the following:
• The property is currently used or was formerly used by a dry cleaner that conducted dry cleaning on the premises.
• The property has underground fuel storage tanks and no soil or groundwater testing has ever been conducted to determine if the tanks have leaked.
• The site has a long history of commercial or industrial use and the current or former owners or operators used hazardous substances. Examples include many industrial manufacturers and sites engaged in automotive repair.
• The site has imported fill material, the fill is relatively deep (not all visible at surface), and comes from an unknown source.
Sampling of soil and groundwater is conducted by our experts. The soil and groundwater samples are then sent to a laboratory for analysis. At the end of this period, our team will provide a report on our findings. The report will typically include a scaled site plan showing the sampling locations, the certified laboratory reports, and a comparison of the test results to regulatory standards.

NATEC INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Mr. Lokkesmoe developed this training program for the Orange County Public Works Department as part of their internal program for compliance with their MS4 Permit. The NPDES Coordinator for the Construction Division collaborated with Mr. Lokkesmoe to create a one-day training program for their inspectors. The objective was to enhance the ability of their field construction inspectors to inspect active construction sites for implementation of the appropriate measures (BMPs) and general compliance with the conditions of the CGP.
Following the classroom portion, a field trip to a nearby active construction site provides the students with an opportunity to conduct practice inspections using the official inspection form developed for the purpose. Then it’s back to the classroom for review and discussion of the inspection process. Each student discusses what they observed and outlines the follow-up procedures they would implement. An open review test is conducted to clarify the main concepts and reinforce comprehension and retention. The course was well received by the students and the Construction Division management was very satisfied with the overall results.
