Consultants may submit proposals as a single organization or firm with in-house capabilities, or as a team of consultants to fulfill services of this request for proposals (RFP).

3. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH

UNDERSTANDING
The project Team’s approach to environmental monitoring and assessment is based on our scientific and regulatory expertise and proven ability to provide cost-effective
solutions based on sound science and defensible studies.

We evaluate regulations under development with an eye
to the potential impact on City programs and develop
strategies that align with the City’s goals. Our Team
has decades of experience providing monitoring and
assessment services and we understand the importance
of designing studies and monitoring programs that address not only current and future regulatory drivers, but also support a sustainable approach that provides social,
economic, and environmental benefits to the community.

Regulatory Challenges
Our water resources compliance experts stay abreast of
regulatory changes and anticipate regulatory actions that may affect your short and long-term operations. NV5 staff are extensively involved with the California Storm-water Quality Association (CASQA) and are active participants in CASQA subcommittees. We share industry intelligence
with our clients to ensure you are “ahead of the learning curve” rather than having to implement unknown solutions in a reactionary manner. It is our commitment to industry excellence that results in long-term clients that trust and rely on our experts. The entire team’s key personnel have extensive and broad experience supporting municipal,
industrial, and construction stormwater monitoring and
reporting projects and special studies to address 303(d) listings, TMDLs, Regional Board Monitoring Orders and
Notices of Violation.

Our key staff are tracking the anticipated re-issuance of the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) Permit
and issuance of a Time Schedule Order for the Bacteria
TMDL. Our team’s extensive experience developing and
implementing local, watershed, and regional programs
during the previous two MS4 Permit re-issuances, will
provide the City with the historical perspective and
background on programmatic operations and how best to
navigate the new and changing regulatory challenges. The historical perspective and entrenchment in local programs will allow our team to consistently look towards the future, prepare the City for what is next, and provide solutions to navigate change best. Our team is at the forefront of emerging issues in bacteria monitoring, including leading high profile MST projects and special studies that will support the City’s Bacteria TMDL compliance strategies.

And we are also tracking the evolution of the Provision B.3.c Compliance Option for San Luis Rey Watershed
Management Area (WMA), and have recently developed
proactive monitoring strategies to evaluate the City’s
hydrologic contributions to the watershed.

Technical
Approach
The NV5 team
is committed
to supporting
compliance
requirements
based on robust
planning, creating
sound scientific
methodologies,
well documented
monitoring
events,
thorough quality
checks of data collected, and well-structured reports.

Our goal is to assure the City’s interests are considered while conducting work to provide legally defensible and high-quality monitoring data, assessment, analysis, and reporting. Our staff are prepared to implement consistent and objective sample process design, sampling methods,
and quality control to ensure accurate water quality and flow data collection when conducting inspections, water quality monitoring, stream gauging, mass loading station installations, hydrologic monitoring, automated sampling, monitoring plan development, special studies, best
management practice (BMP) effectiveness assessments,
Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program (SWAMP)
comparable data formats, California Environmental Data Exchange Network (CEDEN) formatting and uploads, and
reporting. NV5 will work collaboratively with the City and draw on our previous technical experience conducting all the elements in the proposed scope of services to provide monitoring and assessment support that meets deliverable due dates and provides meaningful information.

In-Stream Flow Monitoring: NV5 has performed the City’s in-stream flow monitoring station BVC-TIB since 2016
and understands the critical importance of quality flow data because its validity drives the accuracy of pollutant load calculations and short and long-term effectiveness assessments.

3. PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
Innovative Strategies to Eliminate Non-Stormwater
Discharges: NV5 prides itself on providing innovative
technology and efficient low-cost solutions for our clients.

With this expertise, NV5 developed a real-time continuous flow data system (MS4 Flow SystemTM) that allows staff to better plan non-stormwater source investigations to allow for a more data driven attempt at identifying when and
where non-stormwater sources are occurring within the
drainage system. And our commitment to finding solutions for eliminating dry weather flows continues to evolve. NV5 is currently using this technology in partnerships between the municipal agencies and water districts to integrate the nexus of water use, water conservation, public education and outreach, and non-stormwater discharge identification and elimination.

Performance Management Approach
NV5 implements a proven project approach, including
frequent high-quality client communications, realistic
work schedules, adherence to budget, and effective staff communication. Our goal is to assure the City’s interests are considered while conducting work to provide legally defensible and high-quality monitoring data, assessment, analysis, and reporting. NV5 takes pride in performing work as an extension of your staff, to the highest standards, and in the safest manner possible. We understand that
clear, concise, and timely communications with the City are key to implementing a successful program. NV5
will work collaboratively with the City and draw on our technical experience in the region to provide monitoring and assessment support that meets deliverable due dates and provides meaningful information.

We are prepared to provide the City with excellent customer service with frequent, high-quality communications
throughout the duration of our service. NV5’s project
manager will provide hands-on, proactive management for your as-needed contract. Task progress and scheduling will be communicated through regular face-to-face meetings,
e-mails, telephone contact, via calls using virtual meeting technology and supplemented by monthly written progress reports. Our project manager will coordinate closely with the City staff, providing early and timely communication on critical path issues while leading the team, conducting negotiations, and assisting with problem-solving.

Our project manager will monitor the status of all activities related to a particular project and routinely update the City’s project manager to schedule changes needed in
order to achieve the project milestones and deliverables.

Conducting frequent project reviews and comparing the
progress of the project against schedule allows our project managers to determine if a particular project activity is on schedule. This is a proactive effort by our project managers who have the ability to react quickly to make sure the entire project stays on schedule.

NV5’s project management tools and systems for data and information management are integral to our overall quality system. NV5’s project systems include the use of a central computer file system on our in-house servers which are
backed up daily. Project work uses central standardized filing processes and job codes. NV5 uses Deltek Vision
accounting software for project performance, time tracking, project expenses, and invoicing to ensure project managers have access to the information needed to review project performance and provide client reports as needed and in real-time to track project budgets and status. Early and accurate planning, continual updating and monitoring, and attention to potential variances are essential in managing a budget for each task order. NV5 is committed to ensuring quality project delivery. Plan, do, check, and verify at every key step in the project is a key part of our quality culture.

NV5’S CLIENT FOCUS
✔Listen carefully to the City’s concerns and issues.
✔Solutions based on peer-reviewed data and sound
science.
✔Provide accurate budget estimates and cost saving
approaches.
✔Assure regulatory compliance.
✔Communicate clearly throughout the process.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER

CONSERVATION DISTRICT ON-CALL PROFESSIONAL NPDES

SERVICES

RIVERSIDE COUNTY

NV5 provides Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFC&WCD) with receiving water and outfall monitoring, continuous flow monitoring, special studies, and reporting services. NV5 is conducting the Santa Margarita River (SMR) wet weather monitoring and data processing services as outlined in the SMR WQIP for compliance with the San Diego Regional MS4 Permit. Responsibilities include field reconnaissance, permitting, equipment installations, flow monitoring, automated sample collection, and wet weather event data collection at receiving water mass loading stations and MS4 outfalls. NV5 formats field, chemistry, and toxicity monitoring data into California Environmental Data Exchange Network (CEDEN) compatible data files and uploads the files into the CEDEN database.

NV5 developed a post-fire monitoring plan with the District to assess the potential water quality impacts of the 2018 Holy Fire. NV5 implemented wet weather water quality and flow monitoring to assess post-fire contaminant concentrations and flux by sampling stormwater runoff from the terminal end of burned catchments. Monitoring included flow monitoring; water quality sampling; visual observations; and aerial drone survey to assess pre-storm, during storm, and post-storm receiving water conditions. NV5 calculated the post-fire contaminant flux and compared data from the burned catchments to reference sites to assess the effects on the hydrologic response, sediment loads, and contribution of pollutant loads. NV5 worked with District to create a final report and present the results to multiple agencies, including the Santa Ana Regional Board. The scientific data gained from the study is helping with future management decisions, including strategies used to comply with a nutrient TMDL.

NV5 conducts SMR Investigative Order (IO) River Monitoring and Reporting Services. In accordance with the workplan and QAPP, NV5 is conducting monitoring on the main stem of the Santa Margarita River monthly from May through October, and bi-monthly from November to April each year.

Monitoring includes collecting grab samples, including any field QC samples, and utilizes the District’s Survey 123 App for data collection. NV5 provides support to the District for the preparation and compiling quarterly event summary reports and final data packages.

NV5 is implementing a MS4 outfall continuous flow monitoring study to evaluate near real-time increases in dry weather flow and establish baseline flow levels. Data collected through this effort has been analyzed and converted into useful “heat maps” that identify when significant dry weather flows are likely to occur and has driven targeted Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) source investigations. Through the IDDE source investigations, sources of discharge were identified and public education outreach materials were provided to the discharging properties.

The third year of this study has been modified and expanded to include focused public education outreach distributed through multiple means and the implementation of additional source control and data sharing strategies through a partnership with the local water district.

City of Vista | As-Needed Stormwater & Environmental Monitoring Support CITY OF OCEANSIDE MS4 OUTFALL MONITORING AND

REPORTING

OCEANSIDE, CA
Since 2017, NV5 has conducted dry weather field screening and reporting activities. Each monitoring year, NV5 conducted two separate dry weather outfall field screenings at 75 major MS4 outfalls throughout the City of Oceanside. During the field screenings, NV5 looked for evidence of obvious illicit discharges and suspected/known discharge sources based on characteristics and conditions near the outfall. Field screening visual observation and applicable source identification investigation data were formatted into a regional data-sharing spreadsheet. CEDEN formatted spreadsheets were used when constituents required them to be uploaded to CEDEN under the regional MS4 permit.

During the second round of the 2019 dry weather MS4 outfall field screenings, NV5 conducted inspections during the early morning hours at targeted outfalls. In general, the early morning field screenings and upstream investigations resulted in increased effectiveness in tracing IC/IDs as compared to the afternoon inspections.

NV5 also conducted one wet weather MS4 outfall monitoring event at an MS4 outfall site within the Carlsbad WMA once during the 2018-2019 monitoring year to comply with the permit. After the data was finalized, NV5 compiled, formatted, and submitted the data to the City of Oceanside in a CEDEN-compatible format for watershed assessment purposes. The data included all site characteristics, visual observations, field measurements, and laboratory data. NV5 used the available data sharing templates to facilitate compilation of other Carlsbad WMA datasets for assessments and reporting. Our team also reviewed and finalized flow data, prepared flow volume calculations, flow hydrographs, and other appropriate information.

NV5 submitted all data and deliverables in a brief technical memorandum describing the methodology and presenting the results.

CITY OF VISTA AS-NEEDED WATER QUALITY MONITORING AND

ASSESSMENT

VISTA, CA
NV5 provides as-needed stormwater and environmental monitoring and assessment in support of watershed and jurisdictional strategies to improve the quality of stormwater and non-stormwater discharges for compliance with the San Diego Regional MS4 Permit. Our team provides hydrology, chemical, physical, and biological monitoring; data management; analyses; and reporting including summary reports and memorandums. NV5 is conducting dry weather continuous flow monitoring, inspections, investigations, source identification at persistently flowing outfalls, and developing and implementing studies to help identify contributions to highest and priority water quality conditions, as described in the Carlsbad and San Luis Rey Water Quality Improvement Plans (WQIPs).

NV5 evaluated historical data from the high priority MS4 outfalls within the Carlsbad and San Luis Rey WMAs to identify targeted strategies for conducting outfall investigations. NV5 evaluated the drainage area characteristics (e.g., land use, storm drain, topography) using GIS to assist in targeting potential sources of flow and pollutants contributing to water quality exceedances. Each targeted outfall investigation strategy includes a site-specific list of analytical tools (e.g., HF 183 marker, isotopes, nutrients), monitoring tools (e.g., continuous flow monitoring, CCTV), and the spatial and temporal extent of the investigations. A targeted outfall investigation strategy was created for each outfall. NV5 conducted a targeted dry weather investigation using the human-specific HF183 Bacteriodes 16S rRNA genetic marker to determine if human sources were contributing to the elevated historical bacteria concentrations that exceeded the Bacteria TMDL numeric targets.

NV5 has evaluated structural BMP performance and pollutant removal efficiency. Our team implemented the monitoring, assessment, and reporting requirements for the Paseo Santa Fe Green Streets Project to satisfy the requirements of the Proposition I Grant Program agreement between the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and the City. NV5 conducted wet weather and dry weather effectiveness assessment monitoring and collected a highly accurate record of the wet weather and dry weather flows to estimate the reduction in pollutant loads from the post-construction project area. In addition, NV5 prepared a report that included data analysis and project assessment as related to the Project Assessment and Effectiveness Plan. The effectiveness of the Paseo Santa Fe Green Streets Project was assessed by comparing the pre-construction monitoring data with the post-construction data to determine the estimated pollutant load reductions from the project area and individual BMPs. The report focused on the evaluation of the effectiveness of individual BMPs meeting the water conservation and pollutant load reduction performance measures.

NV5 is also providing as-needed stormwater outreach and education services, including environmental education support, public education and outreach events, program development, and the development of classroom educational materials for target audiences.

City of Vista | As-Needed Stormwater & Environmental Monitoring Support Burns worked with the responsible agencies to receive Regional Board approval to end this portion of the program resulting in approximately 10% annual cost savings for the project.

Southern California Regional Monitoring Program (Bight ’18) . Multiple clients, including RHMP – Port of San Diego/City of San Diego/County of Orange/City of Oceanside; San Diego County Lagoons – Cities of San Diego and Regional Stakeholders; Orange County Marinas and Estuaries, Orange County Public Works, Orange County, CA 2018–2022
Mr. Burns has provided State of California Sediment Quality Objective (SQO) field sampling and innovative strategies and equipment development to collect Bight-compliant SQO samples in multiple waterbodies throughout southern California. He led development of a small, shallow-water sampling platform that can be launched and retrieved in a variety of limited-access estuaries and other shallow waterbodies. This vessel allowed for Bight-compliant Van Veen sample collection in areas where typical boats and barges cannot access.

Hodges Reservoir Nutrient Investigation Study Plan Development and Monitoring Program, City of San Diego, San Diego, CA 2017-2022
Mr. Burns was the Project Manager for this watershed nutrient source investigation that includes data gap analysis and Study Plan development to identify future monitoring program needs; development of the monitoring plan and QAPP; and implementation of the monitoring program and working with the WSP Team to develop a watershed nutrient transport model. The monitoring program included continuous flow monitoring and wet and dry weather sampling in 9 creeks, 5 outfalls, 8 wetland locations, and 4 within- reservoir sampling points. Mr. Burns and his team developed new stream rating curves for 9 creeks using channel surveys, HEC-RAS modeling, and field flow measurements. Mr. Burns led the installation of continuous flow monitoring stations at the outfall and creek sites, which includes telemetry for real-time data evaluation, downloading, and control during sampling events. Flow-weighted composite samples were collected at creek and outfall sites during wet weather events. Continuous water level monitoring with telemetry and time-weighted composite sampling was conducted during wet weather events within the wetland area adjacent to the reservoir. Monthly grab samples were collected at the project sites during dry weather. Data from this program was used to develop a watershed model to evaluate nutrient sources within the watershed. The model may also be linked to an existing reservoir model to aid in developing revised water quality targets and evaluate potential management measures. Flow monitoring stations installed for the program are currently being utilized by the City’s Public Utilities Department for reservoir capacity management during dam repair and eventual reconstruction.

Famosa Slough Eutrophication and TMDL Alternative Compliance Monitoring, City of San Diego, San Diego, CA. 2017-present
