Date: May 6, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Craig Bilezerian, Public Works Director
By: Stephanie Holst, Engineering Manager | [email protected] Subject: Public Works – Approve Second Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to Fund the Beach Cities Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program.

Expenditure: $1,127,475 (General Fund: Approximately $375,825 Annually).

RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation of the Public Works Director that City Council approve a second amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Torrance and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (C2016-027), in the amount of $1,127,475, regarding administration and cost sharing for the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program and extend the term for additional one-year period beginning December 28, 2025 and ending December 31, 2026, with two one-year options to extend.

FUNDING
Funding is available in the fiscal year 2024-25 General Fund Public Works operating budget and is anticipated to be available in subsequent fiscal years.

DISCUSSION
On November 8, 2012, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Board) adopted the 2012 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for discharges from the municipal separate storm sewer system within the coastal watersheds of Los Angeles County (Permit). The Permit became effective on December 28, 2012. The Permit identifies conditions, requirements and programs that municipalities must comply with to protect regional water resources from adverse impacts associated with pollutants in stormwater and urban run-off. In addition, the Permit includes increased and expanded monitoring requirements including applicable Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) monitoring, receiving water monitoring, stormwater outfall-based monitoring, non-stormwater outfall monitoring, and regional monitoring.

The Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) document for the cities of Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Torrance and the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (Beach Cities) was submitted to meet the Permit deadline of June 30, 2014 and was approved by the Board. TMDL monitoring included in the CIMP addresses the following applicable TMDLs: Santa Monica Bay Beaches Bacteria TMDL, Santa Monica Bay Toxics TMDL, Dominguez Channel Toxics TMDL, and the Dominguez Channel Estuary Toxics TMDL. 1 City Council
May 6, 2025

4 5
1 The primary objectives of the CIMP are to:

1. Assess the chemical, physical, and biological impacts of stormwater discharges on receiving waters;

2. Assess compliance with Receiving Water Limitations (RWLs) and Water Quality-Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) established to implement TMDL wet-weather and dry-weather waste load allocations (WLAs);

3. Characterize pollutant loads for other pollutants of concern in stormwater discharges;

4. Identify sources of pollutants in stormwater discharges; and

5. Measure and improve the effectiveness of pollutant controls implemented under the Permit.

On February 23, 2016, City Council approved a cost-sharing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishing the amount each Beach City would pay for Santa Monica Bay Beaches Bacteria TMDL monitoring costs. That MOU was set to expire on December 28, 2020.

On December 8 th, 2020, City Council approved a first amendment (Amendment No. 1) to the MOU, extending the term of the MOU through December 31, 2023, with two optional one-year extensions. The two one-year extensions were agreed to, and Amendment No. 1 will expire on December 28, 2025.

The staff of the Beach Cities propose to again extend the term of the existing MOU via a second amendment through December 31, 2026, with the option to further extend the term in increments of one year at a time, up to two additional years. Services under this MOU include implementation of the CIMP and coordination of the Beach Cities Watershed Management Group including stormwater monitoring, data assessment, reporting, and public outreach. If the MOU term is extended beyond the first year, the annual cost for monitoring services in each successive year shall be escalated in accordance with Consumer Price Index changes, as it was under the first amendment.

The estimated cost for the three years of monitoring will be distributed among the Beach Cities agencies based on watershed area as follows:

Agency FY2025-26 FY2026-27 FY2027-28
City of Redondo Beach $170,447 $177,265 $184,355
City of Hermosa Beach $37,201 $38,689 $40,237
City of Manhattan Beach $107,544 $111,846 $116,320
City of Torrance $361,185 $375,632 $390,658
LA County Flood Control District $35,599 $37,023 $38,504 Total: $711,976 $740,455 $770,073

From: Geosyntec Consultants
Subject: Beach Cities CIMP Implementation
Proposed Scope and Budget for Extended Implementation
2020-2025
This proposal was prepared for the City of Manhattan Beach by Geosyntec Consultants (Geosyntec) in support of the Beach Cities Watershed Management Group Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP).

The focus of this letter proposal is to present a scope of work and budget for Geosyntec to conduct CIMP Implementation for the following Reporting Years:

Year 5 (July 1 2020 - June 30 2021)
Year 6 (July 1 2021 - June 30 2022)
Year 7 (July 1 2022 - June 30 2023)
Year 8 (July 1 2023 - June 30 2024)
Year 9 (July 1 2024 - June 30 2025)
•
•
It is understood that Year 8 and Year 9 are optional at this time, to be conducted only following approval by the City of Manhattan Beach.

SCOPE OF WORK
Task 1: Project Management and Permitting
As under the existing CIMP Implementation contract, the Geosyntec Team will provide project management services so that work deliverables are provided on or ahead of schedule and within budget. Subtasks will include the following:

Monthly Meetings: The Geosyntec Team will prepare for and attend monthly meetings of the Beach Cities WMG. For monthly meetings, Geosyntec will provide presentations and/or other relevant material, as requested. For cost saving Proposal for CIMP Implementation - 2020-2025

consultants
&
purposes, some meetings will be attended via telephone call, unless otherwise requested.

Other Meetings: The Geosyntec Team will attend, participate in, and/or support the Beach Cities WMG in meetings with other watershed management program groups, Regional Board staff, City Councils, County staff, stakeholders, and/or other consultants as necessary to deliver the Project.

Pennitting and Traffic Control: The Geosyntec Team will obtain the necessary permits for access to the various sampling locations. Based on the CIMP, it is anticipated that one encroachment/access Permit from the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) will be required for monitoring at various outfalls. As with previous years, permitting and access requirements are expected to be minimal. Geosyntec will coordinate with respective cities to confirm that appropriate protocol is adhered to when sampling at locations within that city.

Health and Safety Planning: The Site Health and Safety Plan (SHSP), which is already in place and being implemented under current CIMP monitoring efforts, will continue to be implemented under this proposed scope as a "living" document, to be updated as often as is necessary to provide the most helpful and accurate information for field personnel. The Geosyntec Project Manager, who is also the Geosyntec Los Angeles Health and Safety Coordinator, will confirm that field personnel communicate any and health and safety related issues directly to him so that the SHSP can be amended promptly.

Additional Project Management: The Geosyntec Team will perform project management duties, including regular communication with the City on the state of the scope, schedule, and budget; coordination of the Project Team, WMG, and Watershed Coordination Consultant; and organization of Team coordination calls.

For cost control purposes, the Geosyntec project manager will track earned value relative to budget spent on a weekly basis throughout the Project duration to confinn that the Project stays on schedule and budget and that deviations are identified, communicated, and mitigated early.

Task 1 Deliverables
Material for up to twelve Beach Cities WMG meetings per year, as requested. • Material for up to two additional meetings per year, as requested.

An updated HASP, as requested.

0 TASK 2: REVISED CIMP PER NEW MS4 PERMIT
With the anticipated release of a new MS4 Permit in Fall 2020, CIMP modifications will be necessary to incorporate changes set forth in the new Permit. It is assumed that GIMP revisions will begin in Year 1 (2020-2021), the revised CIMP will be finalized and submitted to the Regional Board in Year 2 (2021-2022), and the revised CIMP will begin to be implemented in Year 3(2022-2023).

CIMP revisions may include the following:

Removing/adding pollutants required to be monitored;
Modifying analysis methods to meet new reporting limits (RLs); Updating sample figures;
Altering monitoring frequencies; and
Revising reporting requirements.

Costs for revising the CIMP are only present for Years 5 (2020-2021) and 6 (2021-2022), since it is assumed the CIMP will be finalized prior to the end of Year 6. As a result of the CIMP revisions, the implementation approach for Tasks 3 - 6 (herein) will be altered starting in Year 7 and continuing through Year 9. Details of these changes are set forth in the task descriptions below.

Task 2 Deliverables
Draft and Draft Final CIMP, revised based on Beach Cities WMG comments.

One Final CIMP, revised based on Regional Board comments.

TASK 3: RECEIVING WATER MONITOMNG
Geosyntec will continue to conduct Receiving Water Monitoring per the approved Beach Cities GIMP. For Year 5 (2020-2021) and Year 6 (2021-2022), this means sampling in accordance with the currently established means and methods in the CIMP, including:

Near-shore receiving water monitoring at sites RW-BCEG-01 and RW-BCEG- 02; and
Santa Monica Bay Bacteria TMDL Shoreline Monitoring. This will include weekly monitoring for fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) consistent with the SMBBB TMDL, conducted at seven (7) coordinated shoreline monitoring locations.

Sampling will continue to be conducted on Monday mornings. Additional accelerated monitoring will be conducted on subsequent days when trigged in Proposal for CIMP Implementation - 2020-2025
30 Beach Cities CIMP Implementation
March 10, 2020

Geosyntec
consultants
0 response to exceedance of the single-sample bacteria objectives, as described in the SMBBB TMDL Coordinated Shoreline Monitoring Plan (CSMP). Bacterial parameters analyzed will include Total Coliform, Fecal Coliform, and Enterococcus.

Beginning in Year 7 (2022-2023), the following changes are anticipated to impact receiving water monitoring:
• Reporting Levels (RLs) for all sampled parameters will be significantly reduced, resulting in an increased laboratory fee;
• The "core monitoring constituents" required to be sampled will be required for the first three events of the year, rather than just the first. This will result in a significantly higher laboratory fee; and
• Toxicity sampling will require the use of three different test species for the first year. Following this, the most sensitive species can be used. This too will result in a higher laboratory fee.

Although there is the possibility that the number of SMBBB monitoring locations is reduced based on the proposed changes to the SMBBB TMDL, this change has not been accounted for at this time.

Task 3 Deliverables
No Task 3 deliverables, as reporting is handled under Task 6.

TASK 4: STORMWATER OUTFALL MONITORING
Geosyntec will continue to conduct Stormwater Outfall Monitoring per the approved Beach Cities CIMP. As with receiving water monitoring. Year 5 (2020-2021) and Year 6 (2021-2022) will be sampled in accordance with the currently established means and methods in the CIMP. This will include:

Sampling at outfalls OF-BCEG-1, OF-BCEG-2, OF-BCEG-6, and OF-BCEG-7 in Year 5; and
• Sampling at outfalls OF-BCEG-4a, OF-BCEG-5, and OF-BCEG-7 in Year 6.

Beginning in Year 7 (2022-2023), the following changes are anticipated to impact outfall monitoring:

c-
•
Reporting Levels (RLs) for all sampled parameters will be significantly reduced, resulting in an increased laboratory fee; and
The increase to required receiving water sampling constituents will likely result in a larger number of required outfall sampling constituents. This will result in a significantly higher laboratory fee;
Task 4 Deliverables
No Task 4 deliverables, as reporting is handled under Task 6.

TASK 5: NON-STORMWATER OUTFALL MONITORING
Non-stormwater outfall monitoring will continue to be implemented per the Beach Cities CIMP during Year 5 and Year 6. This sampling will include two sample events per year at the two outfalls currently monitored.

Beginning in Year 7, the following changes are anticipated to be made to the Non- Stormwater Outfall Monitoring Program:
•
•
A re-screening of all Beach City-Owned outfalls will be conducted by the Geosyntec Team, in order to evaluate where significant non-stormwater discharges are occurring. This screening is assumed to be necessary in the Dominguez Channel Watershed only, since all known major outfalls in the 8MB Watershed are diverted or otherwise do not discharge.

Sampling will increase to four times per year, in accordance with the new Permit.

As with stormwater outfall sampling, laboratory analyses coupled with the number of constituents required to be sampled are expected to increase.

Task 5 Deliverables
•A technical memorandum summarizing screening results.

Post-event sampling memoranda (two per year) summarizing the results of the non-stormwater monitoring.

Annual updates of the MS4 Outfall GIS database.

TASK 6: DATA ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING
Geosyntec will continue with all necessary data assessment and reporting to help the Beach Cities comply with the MS4 Permit and their CIMP. Specific items covered under this task include:

310-213-4979 [email protected]
April 1, 2020
Stephanie Katsouleas, P.E., Director of Public Works
Shawn Igoe, Utilities Division Manager
City of Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach, CA 90266
RE: PROPOSAL FOR BEACH CITIES WMG COORDINATION SERVICES Dear Ms. Katsouleas and Mr. Igoe:

McGowan Consulting, LLC, is pleased to provide this proposal to the City of Manhattan Beach (City) to coordinate and implement watershed activities for the Beach Cities Watershed Management Group (WMG).

McGowan Consulting provides environmental consulting services focused on stormwater quality and watershed protection to municipalities in the south Santa Monica Bay. Our two senior staff members have more than 25 years of combined experience in municipal stormwater consulting. We are adept at tracking and coordinating joint activities and in synthesizing complex technical and regulatory issues into cogent analysis on which clients can rely for decision-making and policy setting. McGowan Consulting has been providing these watershed coordination services to the Beach Cities WMG for the past five years and we have an in-depth understanding of the particular needs and technical challenges faced by this group and the watershed area it manages.

The Scope and Cost of Services in this proposal have been developed to provide support to the Beach Cities WMG based on the proposed tasks and needed services discussed with and previously approved by the representatives of the Beach Cities WMG. Given that the schedule for adopting the 5th term MS4 Permit has been delayed with a revised target of Fall 2020, the representatives understand that the proposed scope of services and budgets for FY2122 and FY2223 are estimated based on our best professional judgement. CIMP Coordination Services are identified and authorized as Task 7 in the Beach Cities CIMP Memorandum of Understanding (CIMP MOU), and accordingly this Scope of Services is organized into Tasks 7.1 through 7.9.

Excluded from this Scope of Services is effort to carry out the Beach Cities CIMP Implementation scope of work, i.e.. Tasks 1 through 6 of the Beach Cities CIMP MOD, including preparation of the Integrated Monitoring Compliance Report, which is contracted separately by the City with the CIMP Implementation Consultant on behalf of the Beach Cities WMG. 37 Scope of Services
This Scope of Services provides for McGowan Consulting to serve as the Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) Coordination Consultant forthe Beach Cities WMG for fiscal years 2020- 21(FY2021), 2021-22 (FY2122), and 2022-23 (FY2223). The scope and assumptions for Tasks 7.1 through 7.9 are outlined below.

Task 7.1 Meeting Planning, Agendas and Minutes
Plan, revise and distribute the Beach Cities WMG agendas and minutes for monthly meetings.

Arrange for guest speakers as needed. A level ofeffortoffour(4) hours per month is assumed based on previous experience.

Task 7.2 Meeting Preparation, Attendance, Coordination
Prepare materials for information, discussion and decision-making at the Beach Cities WMG meetings. Attend and coordinate the meetings, take notes during the meeting for documentation in the minutes, and follow up on action items from each meeting. A level of effort of eight (8) hours per month is assumed based on one staff person attending in-person and running the meeting with a second staff person calling in and taking notes during the meeting.

Task 7.3 WMG Coordination Activities
Project management, planning and scheduling of group activities. As directed by the Beach Cities WMG, provide support to the group in carrying out required activities, including maintaining an up- to-date schedule ofWMG implementation activities, milestones and deadlines, and other as-needed assistance. In FY2223 additional effort is provided to amend the CIMP MOU for approval by the Beach Cities WMG governing boards prior to its expiration.

Task 7.4 Support for Adaptive Management
Since a second Adaptive Management Report including re-run of the RAA and revision of the EWMP is required for submittal by June 2021, effort in this task for FY2021 is to finalize an MOU for EWMP/RAA Update, to review and comment on deliverables provided by the EWMP Consultant, and to provide supporting information as-needed. Also in FY2021, a Time Schedule Order (TSO) request is anticipated to be needed to obtain a time extension prior to the final wet weather Santa Monica Bay Beaches Bacteria TMDL deadline of July 15, 2021. The TSO request will be prepared by McGowan Consulting in coordination with the Beach Cities WMG for submittal to the Regional Board by April 15, 2021 (90 days prior to the final TMDL deadline). Effort during FY2122 will include support for responding to comments from Regional Board staff on the revised EWMP/RAA, and possible presentations to the Regional Board. This effort may also include further negotiations with Regional Board staff on the TSO. Increased allocation in FY22-23 is provided to account for new EWMP Implementation support following EWMP approval and to prepare notifications as-needed to the Regional Board for minor EWMP revisions to reflect progress on the Beach Cities WMG implementation actions.

Task 7.5 CIMP Review & Support
Provide technical and regulatory review of data and reports prepared by CIMP Implementation Consultant, including: semi-annual data reports, microbial source tracking deliverables, and periodic BEACH CITIES WATERSHED COORDINATION SERVICESPage 2
38 memos. During FY2021 this will also include review and comment on the revised CIMP as prepared by CIMP Implementation Consultant to conform to the requirements in the next Regional Permit. In FY2122 this may also include assistance in responding to Regional Board comments on the revised CIMP.

Task 7.6 Develop & Manage Joint Outreach
Development of joint public outreach materials utilizing contract services for graphic layout and illustration. Management of ongoing website content and hosting utilizing contracted services from the Environmental Services Center staff of the South Bay COG. In FY2021, effort is anticipated to include: the finalization of the South Bay Rainwater Harvesting Guide, development of revised webpage content and layout for the existing Environmentally Friendly Landscaping, Gardening and Pest Control webpages, and development of new South Bay Rainwater Harvesting webpage content/layout including the development of a QR code to be incorporated into existing print outreach materials. In FY2122, this effort is anticipated to include the development of short narrative pieces on rainwater harvesting to be distributed via existing digital networks. In FY2122 and FY2223, the effort is anticipated to include aligning outreach efforts to address new MS4 Permit objectives such as including the development of metrics to track Outreach Program effectiveness.

Where possible outreach efforts will leverage work done through the South Santa Monica Bay WASC.

Subcontracted work to be performed by staff of the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (COG) will include continued website hosting, preparation ofwebsite analytics for annual reporting, and updating the webpages with additional content as directed by McGowan Consulting. Subcontracted work to be performed by Christine Barnicki/Desktop Design during FY2021 will include completion of the South Bay Rainwater Harvesting Guide based on comments provided by the Beach Cities WMG. Other graphic design/layout assistance may be needed for short narrative pieces and/or a new outreach piece following adoption of the Regional MS4 Permit.

As in previous years, it is assumed that McGowan Consulting's level of effort and supporting subcontracted services for joint outreach will be offset by 50% through combined work for the Peninsula WMG.

Task 7.7 Permit/Region-wide Coordination
Participation in Los Angeles region-wide WMG Coordination and Regional Board meetings and workshops on behalf of the Beach Cities WMG. During FY2021 this task includes an allocation of time to represent the WMG and participate in Los Angeles region-wide WMG Coordination and Permit negotiation meetings. Regional Board meetings and workshops assuming two (2) Regional Board meetings or workshops plus three (3) Region-wide WMG coordination calls with effort cost- shared between Beach Cities WMG and Peninsula WMG. Additional time is also included for meeting preparation and/or preparation of brief statements of testimony but excludes preparation of formal visual presentations for Regional Board meetings. During FY2122 and FY2223 the effort will be utilized to coordinate as needed with other WMGs and permittees in implementing the new Regional Permit requirements for CIMPs and WMPs, which may include participating in meetings to negotiate revisions to the annual reporting templates.

BEACH CITIES WATERSHED COORDINATION SERVICESPages
39 Task 7.8 Regional Project Funding Assistance
Assistance aligning joint projects for funding opportunities as directed by the Beach Cities WMG, such as assistance with: presentations to South Bay WASC or submittal of a joint project into the SCW online project module for scoring or for technical resources funding; representation at South Bay Steering Committee meetings of the Greater Los Angeles Integrated Regional Water Management Program (IRWMP) for the final round of Prop 1 IRWM; and coordination between the Beach Cities WMG and other entities such as Industrial sites on potential joint regional projects.

Note that the allocation of effort in this task is not sufficient to prepare a full grant proposal.

Task 7.9 Watershed Annual Report
Preparation of the Beach Cities WMG Watershed Annual Report. This subtask also includes review and coment on the Integrated Monitoring Compliance Report (IMCR) prepared by the CIMP Implementation Consultant for incorporation into the Watershed Annual Report. During FY2021a level of effort is assumed consistent with previous efforts under the 2012 LA MS4 Permit. An increased effort is assumed for FY2122 and FY2223 to account for new reporting requirements and forms as required following adoption of the Regional MS4 Permit.

Cost of Services
McGowan Consulting will conduct the work effort as outlined in the above Scope of Services during the period from July 2020 through June 2023 for an amount not to exceed $295,880 as detailed in the attached Budget Table and Rate Schedule. Labor rates for FY2021 are shown in the attached Rate Schedule include automobile mileage, parking fees, and routine printing and copying; labor rates for FY2122 and FY2223 will be adjusted annually based on increases in the Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles area as calculated by the U.S. Department of Labor - Bureau of Labor Statistics. Other direct costs chargeable to the project may include: subcontracted graphic design, illustration, website design and hosting services; translation services; report reproduction and binding; courier services; and other direct project costs not specifically included in labor rates. An allocation for other direct costs such as for subcontracted graphic design, website updates and hosting services is included as a separate line item in the Budget Table.

McGowan Consulting will adhere to the Scope of Services and inform City staff and Beach Cities WMG representatives of changing requirements and emerging issues as part of regular communication. In order to provide a measure of flexibility to best meet the needs of the Beach Cities WMG, it is understood that reallocation of level-of-effort and cost between tasks and subtasks and if necessary between fiscal years may occur so long as the total contract amount is not exceeded.It is the nature of regulatory and monitoring-driven programs to be subject to uncertainty such as unforseen technical issues, new regulatory requirements, or regulatory enforcement action.

If it becomes necessary to provide additional consulting services to meet the needs of the Beach Cities WMG and at City of Manhattan Beach staff's direction, McGowan Consulting will submit an authorization request for a change to the Scope and Cost of Services.
