These inspections are required due to SB 1383 (The Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Bill) and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer system (MS4) Order No. R4-2021-0105. SB 1383 Inspections are required to be performed annually and stormwater inspections must be performed every two years.
To reduce the frequency of these inspections and reduce costs to businesses, staff is proposing to combine the inspections where possible. Staff solicited request for proposal through a formal bid process and received one bid from Charles Abbott Associates, Inc. The proposed Resolution 2024-58 outlines the fee schedule for each type of inspection for Industrial/Commercial Facilities based on the proposal received from Charles Abbott Associates, Inc. This report recommends entering into a five-year contract with the consultant for these inspections in the amount of $274,585.60, with a contingency of 15% ($41,187.83).
Historically, stormwater inspection costs have been passed through to the business subject to these inspections. Staff is proposing to use SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant funds to offset the cost of the SB 1383 component of the Industrial/Commercial Inspections. Currently, there is no funding available to off-set the stormwater inspection costs to businesses.

RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Award of Contract to Charles Abbott Associates, Inc. for Industrial/Commercial Inspections in the Amount of $274,585.60 including contingency over a period of five years.
2. Authorize appropriation of $27,068.69 from the General Fund to NPDES Professional Services (001.4341.024.020) and Revenue Account 001.322.005 to reflect inspection fees collected from businesses in addition to the budgeted $50,000 for a total of $77,068.69 and allocate $24,245.39 from the 2023 SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant (012.4310.020.008) to subsidize SB 1383 related inspections.to offset costs incurred by San Dimas businesses.
3. Adoption of Resolution 2024-58 approving associated Fee Schedule for the Industrial/Commercial Facility Inspection Program as Mandated by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Order No. R4-2021-0105 and the Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Bill:
Organic Waste Reductions (SB 1383).
4. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Contract with Charles Abbott and Associates in a form approved by the City Attorney.
FISCAL IMPACT
In order to comply with the MS4 Permit and SB 1383 mandates, the City is required to inspect and perform outreach to industrial/commercial facilities. There are approximately 350 businesses that meet this definition City-wide. Resolution 2024-58 (Attachment 1) proposes the Award of Contract to Charles Abbott Associates, Inc. and adopts new fees associated with these mandatory inspections.
The total contract amount for Charles Abbott Associates (Attachment 2) to complete Industrial/Commercial Inspection Program as mandated by the MS4 Permit and SB 1383 Programs is projected to cost $88,099.20 when completing both types of inspections bi-annually and projected to cost $5,144.95 when completing only the annual SB 1383 inspections. This contract is projected to cost $274,585.50 over five years, and up to $315,773.33 including the 15% contingency. Per the proposed agreement these costs will also be subject to an annual CPI adjustment. As stormwater inspections are only required every other year, the contract amount reflects the gap years in inspections:
Below are the inspection fees as proposed by Charles Abbott Associates, Inc. with the City’s 15% overhead fee included. This will be the first time SB 1383 inspection and outreach fees have been included in the City’s fee schedule. Previously, Industrial/Commercial Inspections on their own were charged as a pass through and $365 per business per inspection.

To offset these costs and minimize the number of times a business must be inspected, staff is proposing the use of SB 1383 Grant Funds for those business subject to annual SB 1383 edible food recovery inspections.
On February 28, 2024, the City of San Dimas was awarded a second SB 1383 Organics Grant in the amount of $96,342. This grant may be used for the implementation of the SB 1383 program including inspections of edible food generators and food recovery organizations. This funding may also be used for other aspects of SB 1383, such as education and outreach, SB 1383 program evaluation, procurement, and record keeping to name a few. Staff is proposing that $24,245.39 of these funds be appropriated to FY 2024-25 to offset the costs to businesses by that must be inspected for SB 1383 compliance. This will leave $72,096.61 for other aspects of SB 1383 Program implementation and compliance such as outreach and education communitywide and FY 25-26 SB 1383 inspections.
This is the second time the City has been awarded this grant, but these funds must be used by April 1, 2026. Staff anticipates there will be another opportunity for grant funding to be applied to off-setting the cost of SB 1383 inspections for businesses, however, should this grant funding not be offered, staff will bring a fee amendment back to the City Council to adopt a fee structure in which businesses that are required to be inspected for both programs are charged the full amount of both the MS4 Permit inspection and the SB 1383 inspection.

The General Fund Revenue Account 001.322.005 will also need to be adjusted to reflect $77,068.69 for fees collected from Industrial/Commercial businesses as the mandated inspections are completed. Staff is also requesting that $24,245.39 from the SB 1383 Organics Grant (012.4310.020.008) to offset the cost of SB 1383 Inspections for Industrial/ Commercial businesses.
BACKGROUND
Inspections of Commercial/Industrial facilities are required as part of are required due to SB 1383 (The Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Bill) and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer system (MS4) Order No. R4-2021- 0105. SB 1383 Inspections are required to be performed annually and stormwater inspections must be performed every two years. These inspections are intended to eliminate potential and identified illicit discharges that certain types of facilities have the potential to create that may result in stormwater pollution. These inspections ensure that Industrial/Commercial facilities are adhering to State Law by following procedures to ensure this contamination does not occur. The newest State Law approximately 160 businesses must now adhere to is the SB 1383 Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Bill that requires outreach, education, and inspection to ensure food recovery efforts are occurring and that businesses are reporting these efforts to the jurisdictions they reside in.
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
Stormwater/Water Quality Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) discharges consist of stormwater and non-stormwater generated from point sources throughout a watershed, collected and conveyed through the MS4, and ultimately discharged into surface waters. The MS4 includes curbs and gutters, man-made channels, catch basins, and storm drains throughout the Los Angeles region. Discharges may negatively affect the receiving surface water quality with pollutants such as bacteria, nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), metals, and pesticides, and other man-made compounds. Aquatic toxicity, specifically during wet weather, is also a concern.
Stormwater and non-stormwater discharges of debris and trash are also a pervasive water quality problem in the LA region. Pollutants in stormwater and non-stormwater may have damaging effects on both human health and aquatic ecosystems when present at certain concentrations above water quality thresholds.
What is the stormwater program?
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program was established under the Clean Water Act of 1972 to regulate stormwater discharges, and to prohibit any pollutant discharge, unless in compliance with an NPDES permit. The Environmental Protection Agency was given the authority to enforce these regulations. The act was further amended in 1987 whereby municipalities were required to by implementing Best Management Practices “BMP’s” to
Award Contract to Charles Abbott Associates, Inc.; Approve Resolution 2024-58 and Associated Fee Schedule for the Industrial/Commercial Facility Inspection Program Page 6 For the Meeting of August 27, 2024
help reduce the discharge of pollutants to the maximum extent practicable, and to prohibit nonstormwater discharges. BMP’s are defined as activities, practices, facilities, and/or procedures that when implemented to their maximum efficiency, will prevent or reduce pollutants in discharges.
In California, the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act was adopted that established the Regional Water Quality Control Board “RWQCB” as the State agency to develop policy for water control, and to monitor for compliance.
In June 1990, the County of Los Angeles obtained a 5-year Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit from the RWQCB. This permit called for the development of a series of programs for Los Angeles County’s extensive storm drain system. Seeing the need to unify to consolidate efforts, after the permit was issued, 84 cities in Los Angeles County decided to become a co-permittee under the County’s permit. San Dimas became a co-permittee in 1992.
This permit is updated approximately every five years by the RWQCB.
On November 8, 2012, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) adopted a new MS4 Permit, Order No. R4-2012-0175 (2012 Permit). With the 2012 Permit, many additional regulations were required of cities and counties to ensure acceptable water quality standards are maintained with respect to stormwater and non-stormwater discharges, including the City of San Dimas. Compliance with the permit requires that cities address and measure both the quality of stormwater runoff and the quantity of storm runoff.
The State of California updates the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit periodically. As a result, on September 11, 2021, the new MS4 Permit (Order No. R4-2021-0105) became effective.
Stormwater Program Requirements: Minimum Control Measures The City of San Dimas has two drainage systems, (1) the sewers and (2) the storm drains. Sewers convey waste from homes and businesses (bathrooms and sinks) and are treated at wastewater treatment plants. The storm drain system was designed to prevent flooding by carrying excess rainwater away from city streets out to the San Gabriel River and finally, out to the ocean. Runoff that enters the storm water system is generally not treated to remove contaminants. During storms in urban areas, rainwater runoff carries pollutants generated from commercial businesses, residential areas, streets, and sidewalks, directly to the ocean, creating stormwater pollution.
Materials such as sediment, paint, plaster, yard waste, vehicle brake dust, oil dripping from engines, animal waste, and trash contain chemicals, nutrients, and bacteria that are harmful to aquatic life and humans. The goal of the MS4 permit is to prevent these harmful contaminants from entering the storm drain system and ultimately our drinking water and oceans.
The City tracks the implementation of stormwater compliance measures through the Annual Report process. Data is collected by the city throughout the year and reported to the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) each December.
The Annual Report summarizes the City’s MS4 compliance progress individually as well as the East San Gabriel Valley Watershed Management Group’s efforts. Amongst other requirements, the MS4 Permit requires the reporting of the following of Minimum Control Measures. Each jurisdiction must put these are measures as part of MS4 Permit compliance.
Award Contract to Charles Abbott Associates, Inc.; Approve Resolution 2024-58 and Associated Fee Schedule for the Industrial/Commercial Facility Inspection Program Page 7 For the Meeting of August 27, 2024
One of these minimum control measures include the Industrial/Commercial Facilities Inspection Program. In the current 2021 Permit, Industrial/Commercial Facilities must be inspected every two years, in the previous Permit these entities were required to be inspected twice during the life of the Permit.
Historically, the cost of Industrial/Commercial Inspections costs have been passed on the businesses that require these inspections, and staff is proposing that these businesses pay fees related to the inspection of their business. These are businesses that may potentially be sources of stormwater pollution if proper measures are not taken to eliminate hazards. Businesses subject to these types of inspections may include auto repair shops, manufacturers, restaurants, as well as businesses that use and store chemicals as part of routine operations.
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) Permit
Compliance with the MS4 Permit continues to be a partially unfunded mandate. With the passage of Measure W (Safe Clean Water Program), the City now receives approximately $600,000 per year in local return funds to assist with Permit compliance. However, the funds available for stormwater costs through the Safe Clean Water are less than the expenditures required to comply with the permit. Therefore, there is also an impact to the City’s General Fund to meet the numerous stormwater requirements outlined in the permit.
In order to comply with the Permit, there are several direct and indirect costs to the City. Direct costs include permit fees to the State Water Board (approximately $23,000 per year), consulting costs for project development, stormwater plan updates, and stormwater quality monitoring, program administrative costs. Other direct costs that are covered by Safe Clean Water funds include measures such as catch basin cleaning, channel clearing, employee stormwater training, public outreach, education, and enforcement activities. The Safe Clean Water Program will only pay for maintenance and operations costs up to 30% (or $180,000) of the annual allocation. Costs over this amount must be funded through other sources. For instance, street sweeping is required as part of MS4 permit compliance yet is paid for out of the General Fund because costs of the City‘s stormwater maintenance activities exceed 30% of the total Safe Clean Water Funds annual allocation.
The remaining 70% of Safe Clean Water funds are required to be used for new projects such as the Permit mandated catch basin screens and other capital improvements that clean and/or capture stormwater runoff. This amount of $400,000 or 70% of the Safe Clean Water Municipal Funding has been set aside for multiple years for these expensive capital projects.
All of the aforementioned activities have indirect costs, namely staff time for tasks like construction site inspections, Industrial/Commercial facility inspections, and filing numerous reports to State and County Agencies multiple times per year. Where possible, the costs are transferred directly to the business or property that it applies to as a pass-through fee.
In total, the City spends over half a million dollars, just in direct costs annually between Safe Clean Water Funding and the General Fund with no staffing costs included.
Industrial/Commercial Facility Inspections fall under the Operations & Maintenance category of Safe Clean Water Funding. These are expenditures that existed prior to the Safe Clean Water
Award Contract to Charles Abbott Associates, Inc.; Approve Resolution 2024-58 and Associated Fee Schedule for the Industrial/Commercial Facility Inspection Program Page 8 For the Meeting of August 27, 2024
Program under the 2012 MS4 Permit. As in 2012, City staff propose that these fees related to MS4 permit compliance be passed through to those businesses subject to these inspections. MS4 Permit or Stormwater Inspections are required every two years for the life of the MS4 Permit.
SB 1383: Short-Lived Climate Pollutants: Organic Waste Reductions SB 1383 requirements took effect on January 1, 2022. This bill mandates that commercial edible food generators are required to implement a food recovery program for diverting edible food, and food recovery programs are required to keep records as specified by CalRecycle. Furthermore, the City is must also conduct inspections to confirm compliance with this ordinance by organic waste generators, and regulated entities are required to allow access to the City for inspections on an annual basis.
Failure to comply with the MS4 Permit or SB 1383 mandates may result in fines to the City and/or the violator up to thousands of dollars per day for each infraction.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
In order to minimize disruption and financial impacts to San Dimas businesses, City staff created a Request for Proposal to solicit services from a firm that could conduct concurrent stormwater inspections and SB 1383 inspections for businesses that required both.
City staff released this Request for Proposal (RFP) via the City’s website, the Daily Bulletin, and Planet Bids, on June 3, 2024, to solicit services for Industrial/Commercial Inspections for MS4 Permit and SB 1383 compliance. In response, staff received one response to this RFP by June 17, 2024, from Charles Abbott and Associates, Inc. Charles Abbott Associates, Inc. has previously assisted the City of San Dimas with both types of these inspections and have been found to be proficient in ensuring the City’s compliance with both the MS4 permit and SB 1383 requirements.
ALTERNATIVES
In addition to the recommendation, the following alternative actions are available for the City Council’s consideration:
• Do not use funds from the SB 1383 Organics Grant and pass through all fees to business owners of Industrial/Commercial facilities that are subject to MS4 Permit and SB 1383 Inspections. This alternative will require a 45-day notice to be sent out to all businesses that must be inspected and a Public Hearing at the end of the 45-day period. • Do not use funds from the SB 1383 Organics Grant and use General Fund monies to fund Industrial/Commercial MS4 Permit and SB 1383 Inspections. • Take other action per City Council direction that will allow the City to remain in compliance with the MS4 Permit.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This item is not subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(2) and (5) which exclude “continuing administrative…activities” and
Award Contract to Charles Abbott Associates, Inc.; Approve Resolution 2024-58 and Associated Fee Schedule for the Industrial/Commercial Facility Inspection Program Page 9 For the Meeting of August 27, 2024
“administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment” from the definition of “project.”
Even if the item were a “project” it would be exempt from environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15307 and 15308 as actions taken by a regulatory agency for protection of natural resources and/or the environment, and exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this item may have a significant effect on the environment.

Inspection Services for Industrial/Commercial Facilities 3 Charles Abbott Associates, Inc. (CAA) is pleased to submit the enclosed Proposal for Inspection Services of Industrial/Commercial Facilities to the City of San Dimas (City). Having successfully assisted the City with these same Inspection Services since 2014, we greatly appreciate the opportunity to continue our partnership with the City. We have extensive experience with California SB 1383 and the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board MS4 permit, including compliance inspections and program coordination, and are able to provide expert services to support the City in its efforts to maintain regulatory compliance with current and future regulations.
CAA has successfully established long-term working relationships with a number of cities in Southern California for environmental compliance services. We have provided and continue to provide environmental program management services to cities in the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and Ventura, including the Cities of Avalon, Moreno Valley, San Dimas, La Verne, Aliso Viejo, Apple Valley, Calimesa, Culver City, Hidden Hills, Redondo Beach, La Palma, Los Alamitos, Pomona, Tustin and Yucaipa. Our services in these cities include but are not limited to precisely what is being requested in the City’s scope of work. Our corporate headquarter has been located in Mission Viejo, CA for many years and we have many employees that live and work near the City of San Dimas, giving us the ability to provide additional staff without delay if workload increases or emergencies arise.
CAA employs only highly qualified professionals with extensive experience. The firm recruits individuals who are looking for long-term employment with a stable firm and a rewarding career. We are proposing experienced staff that demonstrate exceptional work ethic and have a proven track record for implementing successful environmental compliance programs. Our team will work seamlessly as team members of your staff, thus effectively augmenting their efforts and reach.
Many members of the company have years of prior public and private sector experience, adding value to our municipal client’s service and environmental endeavors. Our proposed team is comprised of highly qualified and customer-service oriented environmental experts able to handle any aspects of the City’s Industrial/Commercial Inspections Program. Our staffing levels will ensure these activities are conducted in a timely and efficient manner that is responsive to the City and the public’s needs.
For day-to-day operations, CAA appoints a Project Manager as the primary contact for all CAA services with the City. The Project Manager assigned to the City of San Dimas is Ms. Rae Beimer, who is responsible for supervising the environmental services for our firm in Southern California and will provide day-to-day management and project oversight of the City’s program. Ms. Beimer will ensure that our policies, procedures, and manpower will provide the level of service the City desires and will maintain continuous communication with the City to ensure the City is 100% satisfied with our staff, our turnaround times, the quality of our work, and the overall teamwork between CAA and City staff.

Inspection Services for Industrial/Commercial Facilities 5 CAA has been providing the City with NPDES program compliance services as required in the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Order R4-2021-0105 NPDES Permit No. CAS004004 (NPDES Permit). CAA is intimately familiar with the requirements contained within the NPDES Permit as well as the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act (SB 1383), allowing CAA to effectively and efficiently provide quality inspections and technical/administrative services as requested to maintain the City’s program compliance. CAA will continue to inspect and review the City’s approximately 300 commercial/industrial facilities that are subject to inspection in accordance with the current NPDES Permit and ensure compliance efforts are completed in accordance with SB 1383 edible food recovery requirements.
We realize that there are many issues that arise when implementing an inspection program under the NPDES permit and SB 1383 regulations that may require a rapid review, assessment, and recommendations to City staff.
We are equipped to address these issues successfully as they arise by providing the necessary expert technical and regulatory advice to assist the City with its compliance efforts for planned and unplanned regulatory matters arising from the City’s NPDES Permit and SB 1383 In case where the work plan may need to be adjusted due to impromptu circumstances, CAA will meet with City staff to coordinate and prioritize program tasks as necessary.
CAA will continue to provide environmental services as an extension of City staff and will always maintain clear communication with City staff to ensure a successful program is executed.
CAA will continue to provide all personnel required to perform the work outlined in this proposal. Our staff assigned to the City will be available via phone and email, and will respond within 24 hours or less to any communication received from the City. CAA also provides all materials, resources, tools and training required for our professionals to perform their assigned duties, including vehicles, cell phones, iPads, and other technology devices that enhance our service. Our staff will continue to perform the following tasks for the City:
Task 1: Project Schedule
Ø CAA will work with the City to prepare a comprehensive project schedule with a breakdown, by facility type, of approximately 300 facilities that are subject to inspections under the NPDES Permit as well as approximately 75 Tier 1 and Tier 2 edible food generators subject to SB 1383. The project schedule will include a timeline for database preparation, necessary meetings, city reviews, inspection and potential re-inspection of all facilities found to have deficiencies or violations.
Task 2: Research, Review and Investigation
Ø CAA is very familiar with the requirements of the City’s NPDES Permit R4-2021-0105 as it pertains to the inspection of Industrial/Commercial facilities and will keep the City apprised of any revisions or updates that may affect the City’s compliance program.
Ø CAA is also intimately familiar with CalRecycle’s SB 1383 requirements for food recovery compliance efforts and will continue to plan and implement the City’s SB 1383 food recovery inspection compliance program.
Ø CAA will serve as a resource and technical consultant for everything related to the City’s NPDES program, policies, and regulations. Our proposed staff has extensive experience and knowledge of NPDES MS4 Permits issued throughout Southern California, and specifically by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board. We attend meetings for other jurisdictions as required by the NPDES Permit but also the elective meetings that are coordinated to ensure we are kept abreast of current and future happenings and to ensure our client cities are represented.
III. Approach and Scope of
Work
Inspection Services for Industrial/Commercial Facilities 6 Ø CAA will provide monthly reports identifying all facilities inspected, inspection outcomes, and tasks completed, as requested. This report will document the conditions of non-compliant facilities with photos and will include recommendations in response to the outcome of facility inspections as well as copies of all inspection forms.
CAA will also provide this information in tabular form that may be utilized for City database importing needs.
Task 3: Prepare & Utilize City-Specific Inspection Forms Ø CAA has developed and will continue to maintain and update the City’s inspections forms and ensure all current NPDES Permit requirements are met and captured during each inspection, including but not limited to:
• Name of facility
• Name of owner/operator and contact information
• Address of facility (physical and mailing)
• North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code • Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code
• A narrative description of the activities performed and/or principal products produced • Status of exposure of materials to stormwater
• Name of receiving water
• Identification of whether the facility is tributary to a CWA § 303(d) listed waterbody segment or water body segment subject to a TMDL, where the facility generates pollutants for which the waterbody segment is impaired.
• If the facility is known to maintain coverage under the State Water Board’s General NPDES Permit for the Discharge of Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activities (Industrial General Permit) or other individual or general NPDES permits or any applicable waiver issued by the Regional or State Water Board pertaining to stormwater discharges.
• If the facility has filed a No Exposure Certification with the State Water Board.
Ø CAA will continue to utilize the City’s Edible Food Generator inspection forms and will develop other relevant forms and tracking systems as required and/or necessary for compliant Edible Food Recovery Program procedures and processes.
Ø CAA will coordinate with City staff to update and maintain the City’s existing list of Tier 1 and Tier 2 Edible Food Generators and ensure each generator has an existing contract with edible food recovery services to ensure compliance with SB 1383.
Ø CAA will conduct monthly status meetings outlining all facilities inspected, inspection outcomes, and other related tasks completed that month.
Task 4: Prepare & Distribute Appropriate City-specific Educational Materials Ø CAA staff will provide Public Outreach services in accordance with the NPDES Permit, which includes the updating of City specific public outreach handouts as necessary.
Ø CAA will distribute educational materials and BMP fact sheets for all types of facilities subject to inspection under the NPDES permit, including restaurants, automotive, nurseries, industrial and all other facilities determined to possibly contribute a significant amount of pollutants to the MS4.
Ø CAA’s educational materials include best management practices (BMPs) specific to each type of facility.
Task 5: Conduct Facility Inspections for MS4 Permit & SB 1383 Ø CAA will review the State’s SMARTS database to collect information on industrial facilities in the City that are subject to the State Industrial Permit.
Inspection Services for Industrial/Commercial Facilities 7 Ø CAA will update and maintain the City’s existing database as necessary, utilizing business listing data provided by the City.
Ø CAA will manage the inspection program, including follow-up inspections, in accordance with the current NPDES Permit and the pre-determined inspection schedule of identified Industrial and Commercial facilities.
Inspection schedules will be strictly adhered to in order to meet any time requirements imposed by the project, and the current NPDES Permit and SB 1383.
Ø CAA will conduct comprehensive facility inspections of the approximately 75 identified Tier 1 and Tier 2 edible food generators to ensure compliance with CalRecycle SB 1383 mandates, aimed at reducing organic waste and recovering edible food. CAA will conduct meticulous assessments of waste management practices, scrutinizing everything from organic waste collection and processing to record-keeping and reporting procedures.
Ø CAA will distribute BMP examples to facilities during NPDES inspections.
Ø CAA will provide inspection results on City approved inspection forms. Documentation will include photos of deficiencies as well as all written corrective actions with deadline for corrections. CAA will ensure appropriate follow-up deadlines are met and escalated enforcement is initiated if deemed necessary. Escalated enforcement will be performed under City approval only.
Ø CAA will issue notices of non-compliance or corrections that may be necessary and conduct follow-up inspections to ensure corrections were made. CAA will report to City staff any illegal discharges occurring during the inspection and coordinate the proper procedure to address them.
Ø CAA will verify food recovery efforts and ensure commercial edible food generators have establish a contract or written agreement with a food recovery organization or a food recovery service for food recovery.
Task 6: Project Management
Ø By cooperating and working closely with all of the entities responsible for project approval, we form a collaborative working relationship that centers on successful project processing. As a result, the approval process with other City departments is timely, seamless and efficient. CAA also recognizes the needs of sensitive projects and those that require special attention to meet the needs of the community.
Ø CAA will submit monthly invoices to the City detailing the number of hours worked, the hourly rates, amount billed to date and paid to date as well as any balances left to be paid. Your CAA project manager will be responsible for coordinating invoicing between the City and CAA, and will provide data to CAA's administrative personnel for the preparation of the monthly invoices to the City.
CAA’s Project Manager, Ms. Beimer, will continue to work with the City to ensure communication with the City is consistent, meaningful, and successful. She will keep the City informed of project timelines, budgets, and any project needs, and will provide clear insight into any decisions needed or roadblocks encountered.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Without limiting Consultant’s indemnification of Agency, and prior to commencement of work and/or services under this Agreement, Consultant shall obtain, provide, and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and, in a form, satisfactory to Agency.
General liability insurance. Consultant shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended.
Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.
Automobile liability insurance. Consultant shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the Consultant arising out of or in connection with Work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned, or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than 1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.
Professional liability (errors & omissions) insurance. Consultant shall maintain professional liability insurance that covers the Services to be performed in connection with this Agreement, in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this agreement and Consultant agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period no less than three years after completion of the services required by this agreement.
Workers’ compensation insurance. Consultant shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (statutory limits) and Employer’s Liability insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000).
Consultant shall submit to Agency, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of Agency, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers.
Umbrella or excess liability insurance. Consultant shall obtain and maintain an umbrella liability insurance policy with limits that will provide bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage liability coverage, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability. Such policy or policies shall include the following terms and conditions:
• A drop-down feature requiring the policy to respond if any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectible in whole or in part for any reason, other than bankruptcy or insolvency of said primary insurer;
• “Pay on behalf of” wording as opposed to “reimbursement”; • Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies.
Should Consultant obtain and maintain an excess liability policy, such policy shall be excess over commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability policies. Such policy or policies shall include wording that the excess liability policy follows the terms and conditions of the underlying policies.
Other provisions or requirements
Proof of insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance and required endorsements to Agency as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by Agency’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with Agency for the contract period and any additional length of time required thereafter. Agency reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
Duration of coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the contract period, and any additional length of time required thereafter, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, or financial loss which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by Consultant, their agents, representatives, employees, or subconsultants.
Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by Agency shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of Agency before the Agency’s own insurance or self- insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
Agency’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, Agency has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by Agency will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or Agency will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, Agency may cancel this Agreement.
Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the Agency’s Risk Manager.
Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against Agency, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against Agency and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the Agency to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the Agency nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage
feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the Agency requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the Agency.
Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide the Agency with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. If any of the Consultant’s insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then Consultant shall have the responsibility of notifying the Agency immediately in the event of Consultant’s failure to renew any of the required insurance coverages, or insurer’s cancellation or non-renewal.
Additional insured status. General liability, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that Agency and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies.
Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to Agency and approved of in writing.
Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by Consultant (hereinafter collectively “Subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. However, in the event Consultant’s Subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the Agency, Consultant may still be able to utilize the Subcontractor provided Consultant shall be required to ensure that its Subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with Subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the Consultant, but in all other terms consistent with the Consultant’s requirements under this Agreement. This provision does not relieve the Consultant of its contractual obligations under the Agreement and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide Consultant with the ability to utilize a Subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the Consultant under this Agreement given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with Subcontractors, and others engaged in the project and/or services, will be submitted to Agency for review.
Agency’s right to revise specifications. The Agency reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in
substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the Agency and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.
Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by Agency. Agency reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible, or require proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention through confirmation from the underwriter.
Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give Agency prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of San Dimas (“The City”) is located midway (about 27 miles) between Los Angeles and San Bernardino, at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains. The San Dimas community has a population of approximately 36,000 residents. The City incorporated in 1960 and has developed into a well-balanced community offering industrial, commercial, and residential living. As part of this Request for Proposals (RFP), the Consultant will work closely with the City of San Dimas Public Works Department.
INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL INSPECTION PROGRAM
A. MS4 Permit: Industrial/Commercial Facilities Inspection Program The City is soliciting proposals from qualified and experienced firms to provide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program management support services and assist the City with compliance efforts related to Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) ORDER NO. R4-2021-0105 NPDES Permit No. CAS004004.
There are business licenses issued to approximately 300 industrial/commercial facilities that are subject to inspection in accordance with the NPDES Permit issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) on September 11, 2021.
San Dimas joined the neighboring Cities of Claremont, La Verne, and Pomona to form the East San Gabriel Valley Watershed Management Area (ESGV WMA) and developed a Watershed Management Program (WMP) and a Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) Plan to comply with the 2021 NPDES Permit.
Industrial facilities are to be inspected upon review of the State Water Board’s Storm Water Multiple Application and Report Tracking System (SMARTS) database. The NPDES Permit further mandates maintaining an updated watershed-based inventory or database containing the latitude / longitude coordinates of all industrial and commercial facilities that are critical sources of stormwater pollution. • Perform stormwater related inspections of all designated industrial and commercial facilities (approximately 300) as required by the MS4 Permit to ensure implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs), eliminate illicit connections and/or discharges to control discharge of pollutants to the MS4, and verify permit coverage.
• Update the Watershed-based database of all industrial and commercial facilities.
• Distribute BMP examples to facilities (ex. From CASQA manual) during NPDES inspections.
• Conduct follow-up inspections as required.
• Conduct public outreach to facilities.
Commercial facilities subject to inspection:
• Restaurants
3 • Automotive service facilities (including those located at automotive dealerships) • Retail Gasoline Outlets
• Nurseries and Nursery Centers (Merchant Wholesalers, Nondurable Goods, and Retail Trade) USEPA “Phase I” Facilities [as specified in 40 CFR §122.26(b)(14)(i)- (xi)]
• Municipal landfills
• Hazardous waste treatment, disposal, and recovery facilities • Industrial facilities subject to section 313 “Toxic Release Inventory” reporting requirements of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) [42 U.S.C. § 11023]
• All other commercial or industrial facilities determined to possibly contribute a substantial pollutant load to the MS4.
B. SB 1383 Tier 1 & Tier 2 Inspection Program
The qualified firm will also assist with the planning and implementation of programs associated with the “Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Act” (SB 1383) Edible Food Recovery Program requirements. The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) created standards for SB 1383 which can be found at https://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/organics/slcp/ . SB 1383 establishes statewide targets to reduce the amount of organic waste disposal in landfills. It also sets a goal to recover at least 20% of edible food that is thrown away by donating it to people in need by 2025.
The City must identify edible food generators that are required to implement an edible food recovery program and connect them with a local food recovery organization. The City must also conduct annual outreach to edible food generators about their requirements under SB 1383 and perform annual inspections to ensure they have contracts in place with edible food recovery organizations and are keeping records of all recovered edible food. The City is seeking a qualified firm to ensure SB 1383 edible food recovery requirements are being met.
The Edible Food Recovery generators mentioned will also require either an Industrial or Commercial Inspection per the MS4 permit. The City would like to limit the number of times a business must be inspected by combining these two types of inspections listed above.
Edible Food Recovery Generator Inspections:
• Perform inspections of Tier 1 and Tier 2 edible food generators (approximately 75) as required by CalRecycle SB 1383 mandates.
• Ensure that each applicable location meet or exceeds State guidelines for food recovery.
• Conduct follow-up inspections as required.
• Provide completed inspection forms for each inspection.
The Contractor shall be knowledgeable in solid waste management practices and compliance specifically with, but not limited to, AB 939, AB 1826, and SB 1383.
4 Commercial edible food generators subject to inspection:
Tier 1 Commercial Edible Food Generators
• Wholesale food vendors
• Food distributors
• Food service providers
• Grocery stores greater than/equal to 10,000 square feet and supermarkets Tier 2 Commercial Edible Food Generators
• Hotels with on-site food facility and 200+ rooms
• State agency cafeterias greater than/equal to 5,000 square feet or 250+ seats • Restaurant facilities greater than/equal to 5,000 square feet or 250+ seats • Health facilities with on-site food facility and 100+ beds • Large venues and events
• Local education agencies with on-site food facility
The Consultant must have the ability to provide trained and experienced personnel/staff to perform the Services set forth in this RFP which includes inspection services for both the MS4 Permit & SB 1383 Tier 1/Tier 2 edible food generators.
The successful Consultant will be required to enter into a written agreement with the City and provide certificates of insurance on forms acceptable to the City.

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Without limiting Consultant’s indemnification of Agency, and prior to commencement of work and/or services under this Agreement, Consultant shall obtain, provide, and maintain at its own expense during the term of this Agreement, policies of insurance of the type and amounts described below and, in a form, satisfactory to Agency.
General liability insurance. Consultant shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended.
Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted.
Automobile liability insurance. Consultant shall maintain automobile insurance at least as broad as Insurance Services Office form CA 00 01 covering bodily injury and property damage for all activities of the Consultant arising out of or in connection with Work to be performed under this Agreement, including coverage for any owned, hired, non-owned, or rented vehicles, in an amount not less than 1,000,000 combined single limit for each accident.
Professional liability (errors & omissions) insurance. Consultant shall maintain professional liability insurance that covers the Services to be performed in connection with this Agreement, in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 per claim and in the aggregate. Any policy inception date, continuity date, or retroactive date must be before the effective date of this agreement and Consultant agrees to maintain continuous coverage through a period no less than three years after completion of the services required by this agreement.
Workers’ compensation insurance. Consultant shall maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance (statutory limits) and Employer’s Liability insurance (with limits of at least $1,000,000).
Consultant shall submit to Agency, along with the certificate of insurance, a Waiver of Subrogation endorsement in favor of Agency, its officers, agents, employees, and volunteers.
Umbrella or excess liability insurance. Consultant shall obtain and maintain an umbrella liability insurance policy with limits that will provide bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage liability coverage, including commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability. Such policy or policies shall include the following terms and conditions:
• A drop-down feature requiring the policy to respond if any primary insurance that would otherwise have applied proves to be uncollectible in whole or in part for any reason, other than bankruptcy or insolvency of said primary insurer;
• “Pay on behalf of” wording as opposed to “reimbursement”; • Concurrency of effective dates with primary policies.
Should Consultant obtain and maintain an excess liability policy, such policy shall be excess over commercial general liability, automobile liability, and employer’s liability policies. Such policy or policies shall include wording that the excess liability policy follows the terms and conditions of the underlying policies.
Other provisions or requirements
29 Proof of insurance. Consultant shall provide certificates of insurance and required endorsements to Agency as evidence of the insurance coverage required herein. Insurance certificates and endorsements must be approved by Agency’s Risk Manager prior to commencement of performance. Current certification of insurance shall be kept on file with Agency for the contract period and any additional length of time required thereafter. Agency reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies, at any time.
Duration of coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the contract period, and any additional length of time required thereafter, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, or financial loss which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Work hereunder by Consultant, their agents, representatives, employees, or subconsultants.
Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by Agency shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of Agency before the Agency’s own insurance or self- insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.
Agency’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, Agency has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by Agency will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or Agency will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, Agency may cancel this Agreement.
Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the Agency’s Risk Manager.
Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against Agency, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against Agency and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
Enforcement of contract provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the Agency to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the Agency nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage
30 feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the Agency requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to the Agency.
Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide the Agency with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage. If any of the Consultant’s insurers are unwilling to provide such notice, then Consultant shall have the responsibility of notifying the Agency immediately in the event of Consultant’s failure to renew any of the required insurance coverages, or insurer’s cancellation or non-renewal.
Additional insured status. General liability, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that Agency and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies.
Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to Agency and approved of in writing.
Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.
Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party who is brought onto or involved in the project/service by Consultant (hereinafter collectively “Subcontractor”), provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant under this Agreement. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. However, in the event Consultant’s Subcontractor cannot comply with this requirement, which proof must be submitted to the Agency, Consultant may still be able to utilize the Subcontractor provided Consultant shall be required to ensure that its Subcontractor provide and maintain insurance coverage and endorsements sufficient to the specific risk of exposure involved with Subcontractor’s scope of work and services, with limits less than required of the Consultant, but in all other terms consistent with the Consultant’s requirements under this Agreement. This provision does not relieve the Consultant of its contractual obligations under the Agreement and/or limit its liability to the amount of insurance coverage provided by its subcontractors. This provision is intended solely to provide Consultant with the ability to utilize a Subcontractor who may be otherwise qualified to perform the work or services but may not carry the same insurance limits as required of the Consultant under this Agreement given the limited scope of work or services provided by the subcontractor. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with Subcontractors, and others engaged in the project and/or services, will be submitted to Agency for review.
Agency’s right to revise specifications. The Agency reserves the right at any time during the term of the contract to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in
31 substantial additional cost to the Consultant, the Agency and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation.
Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by Agency. Agency reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible, or require proof of ability to pay losses and related investigations, claim administration, and defense expenses within the retention through confirmation from the underwriter.
Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give Agency prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.
Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the work.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of August 27, 2024
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Scott Wasserman, Director of Parks and Recreation and Joseph Jones, Recreation Manager
Subject: Consideration and Approval of a Facilities Use Agreement with Bonita Unified School District for Use of the San Dimas Recreation Center Swimming Pool and Related Facilities
____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The City has signed a new Facility Use Agreement with the Bonita Unified School District (BUSD) for use of a portion of the San Dimas Recreation Center.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:
• Approve the Facility Use Agreement with Bonita Unified School District to utilize a portion of the Recreation Center and authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
The BUSD is paying $160 per hour for pool use with an estimated annual usage of 811 hours.
The estimated annual revenue associated with the BUSD’s use of the pool is $129,760. The agreement allows the exclusive use by the Bonita Unified School District (BUSD) during the approved schedule.
BACKGROUND
In July 2023, the City Manager negotiated an hourly pool rental fee of $160 per hour in an effort to help offset the actual cost of operating and maintaining the facility. The Bonita Unified School District submitted a formal Facilities Use Agreement to use the Recreation Center for the FY 2024-25 school year (Attachment 1).
Consideration and Approval of a Facilities Use Agreement with Bonita Unified School District for Use of the San Dimas Recreation Center Swimming Pool and Related Facilities Page 2 For the Meeting of August 27, 2024
The proposed agreement is for an amount not to exceed $129,760, which reflects an estimated 811 hours of use. In accordance with the City’s contracting guidelines, the proposed Facilities Use Agreement must be approved by the City Council, as it is anticipated to generate over $100,000 in revenue.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The San Dimas Recreation Center located at 990 W. Covina Boulevard is owned and operated by the City of San Dimas. The BUSD is the main user group of the facility. San Dimas High School uses the swimming pool approximately 811 hours annually for physical education classes, water polo and swim teams. Per the new Facility Use Agreement with the City, the BUSD pays a flat rate of $160 per hour for use of the swimming pool. The contract with the BUSD is expected to generate revenue of approximately $129,760 per year ($160/per hour x 811 hours=$129,760) to help offset the actual cost of operating and maintaining the facility. The actual revenue generated will depend on actual use.
ALTERNATIVES
The City Council can decide not to approve the Facilities Use Agreement submitted by the BUSD.
Under this scenario, the City Council can provide direction to staff regarding specific concerns or desired next steps with respect to the BUSD’s use of the Recreation Center.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph Jones
Recreation Manager

Drain Replacement Inspection 1.0 $ 13,588.00 $ 13,588.00 Customer had a major concern about their main drain because their 1st floor recently flooded with sewage and they had to remodel and replace all the floors.
During sewer inspection we discovered that there is a 10' section of pipe with a major back grade due to roots. To fix this problem permanently we will have to excavate entire back graded pipe and reinstall at the proper grade. This process will require Cutting concrete, excavator, hand digging and shoring to make pipe accessible and safe work environment due to depth. Once pipe is replaced and graded correctly hole will be backfilled with proper compaction.
Cars will not be allowed in driveway during project
Job is estimated to take to be excavated, repaired and backfilled first day Second day concrete will be poured depending on concrete schedule.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of August 27, 2024
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Luis Torrico, Director of Community Development Subject: Introduce Ordinance 1310, Approving Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-06 to Amend Chapter 8.40 Camping and Storage on Private and Public Property to be Aligned with Recent Court Decisions and Consistent with the Governor’s Executive Order N-1-24, Along with Associated Clean Up Items, and Determination of Exemption from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3). ____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
On January 23, 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1302 approving Municipal Code Text Amendment 23-0002 to create provisions to regulate unlawful camping and unlawful storage of personal property on private and public property. At the time of adoption, the ordinance aligned with recent court decisions that prevented the criminalization of homelessness, and recognized the right to occupy public spaces when no shelter is available.
On June 28, 2024, the Supreme Court ruled that cities can prohibit people from sleeping in all public spaces regardless of if shelter is available or not. In addition, on July 25, 2024, Governor Newsome signed Executive Order N-1-24, which provides guidance for cities when addressing homeless encampments. In order to continue to be aligned with recent court decisions and be consistent with the guidelines set forth by Executive Order N-1-24, the ordinance should be amended.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Read by title and introduce Ordinance 1310 (Attachment 1) approving Municipal Code Text Amendment 24-06 to amend Chapter 8.40 Camping and Storage on Private and Public Property to be aligned with recent court decisions and consistent with the Governor’s Executive Order N-1-24, along with associated clean up items, and determine the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3).
Introduction of Ordinance 1310 Approving MCTA 24-06 Page 2 For the Meeting of August 27, 2024
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no fiscal impacts directly associated with this action; however, the City has already incurred costs prior to and after adopting Ordinance 1302 earlier this year. The amendments will strengthen the applicability of the ordinance, which will assist both the individual engaging in camping activities, and City staff. With these regulations in place, the goal is that it will lead to fewer situations in which the City needs to collect and store personal property. Additionally, the City maintains and incurs costs associated with the Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (LACADA) which provides an array of services with dedicated beds to the City of San Dimas.
BACKGROUND
Ordinance 1302, which approved Municipal Code Text Amendment 23-0002 to create provisions to regulate unlawful camping and unlawful storage of personal property on private and public property, was introduced on January 9, 2024, and subsequently adopted on January 23, 2024, by the City Council. Adoption of the ordinance provided the City with tools to mitigate impacts associated with unlawful camping and unlawful storage of personal property. Since then, the City has continued to collaborate with the Los Angeles Center for Drug and Alcohol (LACADA) to provide comprehensive services including street outreach, housing navigation, mental health support, case management, and facilitating access to healthcare and housing for individuals experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness.
The ordinance was drafted to be in compliance with recent court decisions that prevented the criminalization of homelessness, recognizing the right to occupy public spaces when no shelter is available. Thus, as part of the collaboration with LACADA, the City has dedicated four (4) beds within the city for residential treatment and emergency transitional housing. This allows the ordinance to be fully implemented, but also empathizes the City’s commitment to provide support and solutions.
On June 28, 2024, the Supreme Court ruled that cities can prohibit people from sleeping in all public spaces regardless of if shelter is available or not. In addition, on July 25, 2024, Governor Newsome signed Executive Order N-1-24, which provides guidance for cities when addressing homeless encampments. In order to continue to be aligned with recent court decisions, be consistent with the guidelines set forth by Executive Order N-1-24, and to ensure we have the proper tools to address issues stemming from the Executive Order, the ordinance should be amended.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The proposed amendments will align the City’s ordinance with recent court rulings and would also incorporate guidance from the Governor’s Executive Order N-1-24. Changes to the ordinance will be as follows:
Grants Pass June 28, 2024, Court Ruling
Per the ruling issued on June 28, 2024, enforcement of laws regulating camping on public property does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eight Amendment of the Constitution. The City’s current ordinance prohibits camping on any public property in the city, with a few exceptions such as city-designated campsites, county-owned property where camping
Introduction of Ordinance 1310 Approving MCTA 24-06 Page 3 For the Meeting of August 27, 2024
is allowed by the property owner, and on property owned by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority or the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority where camping is allowed by the property owner. However, when shelter is not available, the current ordinance limits camping restrictions to Prohibited Public Places, including, but not limited to, any portion of Bonita Avenue or Arrow Highway, any public property located within 1,000 feet of Bonita Avenue or Arrow Highway, all city-owned or leased building and facilities, and city parks.
The proposed amendments will remove Prohibited Public Places from the ordinance as the restrictions against camping in public places can now be enforced at all times, even when individuals have no access to shelters. In addition, the section of the ordinance that relates to shelter availability will be removed as this is no longer a requirement. While the provision of shelter is no longer required to enforce the camping restrictions, the City will continue to provide assistance through the partnership with LACADA, which includes providing access to the dedicated four (4) beds within the city for residential treatment and emergency transitional housing.
Executive Order N-1-24
Governor Newsome’s Executive Order N-1-24 contains guidelines for cities when clearing encampments. While these guidelines are not legally binding, Staff believes incorporating them into the City’s ordinance would be beneficial when dealing with encampments. Our current ordinance requires a 24-hour notice before clearing an encampment; however, the Executive Order states agencies should provide 48-hour notice. In addition, our current ordinance requires that the City store collected property for 90 days; however, the Executive Order states that agencies must collect, label, and store personal property that is removed for at least 60 days. The proposed amendments will align the City’s ordinance with the recommendations in the Executive Order. Providing the 48-hour notice prior to clearing an encampment will provide individuals additional time to remove their camping paraphernalia and may not require the City to clear and collect the property, and reducing the number of days that removed camping paraphernalia must be kept by the City will prevent storage capacity issues that could arise from multiple encampments being cleared.
The proposed amendments would bring the City’s camping ordinance in compliance with recent court rulings and be aligned with best practices recommended by the Governor’s Executive Order.
While the provision of shelter is no longer required to enforce the camping ordinance, the City will continue to provide supportive services and four (4) beds within the city for residential treatment and emergency transitional housing through the partnership with LACADA. This will allow the City to continue to balance the public health and safety, with the rights of individuals experiencing homelessness.
ALTERNATIVES
There are no alternatives proposed as part of this request; however, the City Council may propose revisions to the proposed Ordinance or not consider the Ordinance in its entirety.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because there is no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.

§ 8.40.010. Purpose.
The purpose of this chapter is to protect the public health, safety and welfare against adverse impacts caused by unlawful camping, unlawful storage of personal property, unlawful fires, littering, and loitering on private and public property. These activities can lead to serious health, safety, and accessibility concerns, contribute to conditions of blight, and deteriorate private and public property and city facilities.

Agenda Item Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council
For the Meeting of January 9, 2024
From: Chris Constantin, City Manager
Prepared by: Luis Torrico, Interim Director of Community Development Subject: Introduce Ordinance 1302 Approving Municipal Code Text Amendment 22-0002 to Regulate Camping and Storage on Private and Public Property, and Determination of Exemption from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3) ____________________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The proposed Ordinance aims to establish provisions to regulate unlawful camping and unlawful storage of personal property on private and public property, which can lead to serious health, safety, and accessibility concerns. The San Dimas Municipal Code has existing provisions that regulate overnight camping in parks but not anywhere else in the City.
Ordinance 1302 would add a new chapter to the Municipal Code that will expand the City’s authority to mitigate impacts associated with unlawful camping and storage of personal property citywide.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Read by title and introduce Ordinance 1302 (Attachment 1) approving Municipal Code Text Amendment 22-0002 to Amend Title 8 of the San Dimas Municipal Code by Adding a New Chapter, Chapter 8.40 to Regulate Camping and Storage on Private and Public Property, and Determine the Ordinance is Exempt from CEQA under CEQA Guidelines 15061(b)(3).
FISCAL IMPACT
While there will be costs associated with the implementation of the Ordinance, these costs are already being incurred by the City as the City already collects and stores personal property. The Ordinance will create regulations for camping and storage of personal property, which will assist both the individual engaging in camping activities, and City staff. With these regulations in place, the goal is that it will lead to fewer situations in which the City needs to collect and store personal ATTACHMENT 2
Introduction of Ordinance 1302 Approving MCTA 22-0002 Page 2 For the Meeting of January 9, 2024
property. Additionally, the City maintains and incurs costs associated with the Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse (LACADA) which provides an array of services with dedicated beds to the City of San Dimas.
BACKGROUND
Homelessness is a multifaceted challenge that impacts not only the individuals directly experiencing it but also the broader community, affecting public safety, community well-being, and the allocation of tax dollars. In the City of San Dimas, we are committed to addressing this issue with compassion and effectiveness, providing an array of resources aimed at assisting those currently homeless and those at risk of homelessness.
Our recent collaboration with the Los Angeles Center for Drug and Alcohol (LACADA) marks a significant step in expanding our support network. This partnership focuses on comprehensive services including street outreach, housing navigation, mental health support, case management, and facilitating access to healthcare and housing. Additionally, we have dedicated four beds within the city for residential treatment and emergency transitional housing, emphasizing our commitment to tangible solutions.
LACADA's outreach team, active in San Dimas four days a week, prioritizes building personal relationships with the homeless population, encouraging engagement with our services. We recognize the importance of voluntary participation in these programs, respecting the autonomy of each individual.
Acknowledging the complexities of homelessness, it is important to note that not all unsheltered individuals readily accept assistance, with a significant portion in our community displaying service resistance. In this context, our proposed camping and property storage regulations aim to strike a balance: maintaining community standards and public health, while also acting as a catalyst for those resistant to services. By setting clear and fair guidelines, we hope to encourage more individuals to engage with the support available, ultimately aiding them in transitioning off the streets and into a pathway for sustained help.
The City's approach aligns with recent court decisions that prevent the criminalization of homelessness, recognizing the right to occupy public spaces when no shelter is available. This understanding, however, does not extend to individuals who can afford temporary shelter but choose not to use it, or to those who decline available shelter options, such as the beds provided through our LACADA partnership.
Our goal is not to penalize homelessness but to offer a balanced solution that respects the rights of the unhoused while addressing community needs. Through these regulations, we aim to gently encourage those resistant to services to reconsider the assistance we offer, moving them towards a path of recovery and stability.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS
The proposed camping ordinance would create standards with the goals of mitigating impacts that result from camping on private or public property. Camping can create an unsanitary and unhealthy environment for the individuals engaged in camping, as well as for the general public.
In addition, camping on private or public property can impede access to businesses and public facilities. The proposed Ordinance will allow the City to implement camping restrictions related to unlawful camping and unlawful storage of personal property on private and public property, which
Introduction of Ordinance 1302 Approving MCTA 22-0002 Page 3 For the Meeting of January 9, 2024
can lead to serious health, safety, and accessibility concerns. In addition, the Ordinance will be in compliance with recent court decisions in that it will include provisions for individuals without available shelter.
In situations where shelter is not available, the Ordinance will prohibit individuals from camping in certain prohibited public places and any transit shelter and on private property, prohibit camping facilities from being erected between 7:00 AM and sunset, prohibit individuals from obstructing access to a street, sidewalk, park playground, public utility, public property, or other public rightof way open for pedestrian travel or governmental use, and prohibit individuals from camping or occupying any public property that is closed to the public.
The Ordinance seeks to balance the public health and safety, with the rights of individuals experiencing homelessness. When a shelter bed is available, the Ordinance will prohibit camping on any public or private property in the City.
There will be some exceptions such as public property designated for camping, private property licensed for camping activities, temporary backyard camping on private property, and camping on at the Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles Center, located at 146 W. Arrow Highway, with the property owner’s permission. As previously mentioned, to be in compliance with recent court decisions the city-wide camping ban cannot be enforced if there is no shelter available to those experiencing homelessness. In these situations, only certain areas will prohibit camping. The Ordinance defines these Prohibited Public Places as the following locations:
• Any portion of Bonita Avenue or Arrow Highway, and any public property located within 1,000 feet of Bonita Avenue or Arrow Highway.
• All City-owned or leased buildings and facilities, or those owned or leased by the San Dimas Housing Authority, as well as the entire parcel or parcels on which they are located, including but not limited to:
o San Dimas Civic Center.
o San Dimas City Hall.
o San Dimas Stanley Plummer Community Building.
o San Dimas Senior Citizen/Community Center.
o San Dimas Recreation Center.
o San Dimas City Yard.
o Martin House.
o Walker House; and
o Charter Oak Estates Mobile Home Park.
• City parks and all structures located therein.
• All County-owned property within the City, including but not limited to the Los Angeles County Public Library and County parks, unless camping is authorized on the property by the County.
• All property owned by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority or the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority, unless camping is authorized on the property by the property owner.
• On, under, or within 500 feet of bridges and highway underpasses, with the exception of property that is part of a state highway.
• Very high fire severity zones; and
• Flood zones.
Introduction of Ordinance 1302 Approving MCTA 22-0002 Page 4 For the Meeting of January 9, 2024
The Ordinance will also include provisions related to obstructing public property or doorways, unlawful storage of personal property on public property, procedure for removal of camp facilities and personal property, and prohibition against living in motor vehicles.
One of the goals of the Ordinance is to ensure that access to sidewalks, streets, and building entrances is maintained. The Ordinance would prohibit any person from obstructing, by sitting, lying, sleeping, storing, using, maintaining, or placing personal property in a manner that obstructs access required by the Americans with Disabilities Act, within 15 feet of any driveway, building entrance, or any prohibited public place.
The Ordinance would make it unlawful to store personal property on any public property. The Ordinance further outlines what steps the City will need to take in removing unlawfully stored property. The City will provide notice that if the property is not removed within 24 hours it will be removed by the City. It also includes provisions that allow the City to immediately remove personal property that poses an imminent threat to public health or safety, is contraband, or is evidence of a crime. Once removed, the City will leave a notice in a prominent place for any property taken and said notice will contain the address and phone number of where the property is being stored, the hours during which the property may be retrieved, and the length of time that the property will be stored before being destroyed. A similar process will be utilized to remove camp facilities and paraphernalia that are in violation of the Ordinance.
Lastly, the Ordinance will include a citywide prohibition against living in motor vehicles. It shall be unlawful for any person to sleep overnight in, bathe in, cook in, or otherwise use as a place of residence or habitation any parked trailer, camper shell, motor home, or any other vehicle anywhere in the city. However, if the individual has no available shelter, the prohibition shall be limited to any Prohibited Public Place discussed above.
The City’s existing homelessness resources are intended to assist those individuals currently experiencing homelessness as well as those at risk of becoming homeless. However, the City lacks established protocols on how to mitigate negative impacts associated with unlawful camping and storage or personal property. This Ordinance will achieve this by creating standards that are intended to protect the individual engaging in camping activities and the general public and do so in compliance with recent court decisions.
ALTERNATIVES
There are no alternatives proposed as part of this request; however, the City Council may propose revisions to the proposed Ordinance or not consider the Ordinance in its entirety.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Pursuant to CEQA guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3), CEQA does not apply to this item because it can be seen with certainty there is no possibility the proposed ordinance may cause a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no additional environmental review is needed at this time.
