STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: The City of Vista (City) is identified as a copermittee within the San Diego region municipal stormwater permit, Order No. R9-2013-0001, as amended by Order No. R9 2015- 0001, issued by the San Diego Region Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) on February 11, 2015. Regulations require the City to conduct a variety of inspections at both private and City-owned properties to evaluate compliance with pollution prevention requirements and to maintain compliance with the municipal stormwater permit.
The City conveys sewage for treatment at the Encina Wastewater Authority’s Water Pollution Control Facility. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted Order Number 2006-0003-DWQ (Order) that established Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) for publicly owned and operated sanitary sewer collection systems that have one or more miles of collection pipelines. The WDR requires that each agency under the Order create and implement a Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP) to facilitate the proper funding, management, operation, and maintenance of their sanitary sewer collection system. As part of the City’s Sewer System Management Plan, food service establishments are inspected to ensure compliance with Fats, Oil and Grease (FOG) requirements to prevent sanitary system overflows.
On April 8, 2024, staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) for as-needed stormwater and FOG inspections. The RFP was advertised on the City of Vista’s website and the City’s electronic procurement portal, OpenGov.com. The following three firms responded to the RFP:

I. INTRODUCTION
The City of Vista, including the Buena Sanitation District (collectively “City”), is soliciting proposals from qualified professional consulting firms (Consultant) to conduct as- needed Stormwater and Fats, Oil, and Grease (FOG) inspection services. The stormwater inspections are for existing development and the FOG inspections are for Food Service Establishments (FSE) as part of the City’s Sewer System Management Plan (SSMP). Both inspection programs are intended to comply with applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board stormwater and sanitary sewer system permits.
This Request for Proposals (RFP) includes a description of the proposal requirements, criteria for selection, and the scope of services to be provided by the Consultant.
The City intends to award one contract to provide the requested services for a three- year term, with an optional extension for two additional years for a maximum term of five years from the date of the contract. Services under this contract are currently not anticipated to exceed $300,000 over the term of the agreement.
All Consultants must create an account on OpenGov Procurement to submit a proposal.
Consultants can register at: https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/cityofvista Once registered, Consultants must download this solicitation to appear on the Bidder’s List as a “Prospective Bidder.” Consultants that fail to specifically download this solicitation will not appear on the Bidders’ List and will be unable to participate or be considered for this RFP.
II. BACKGROUND AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Stormwater Inspections
The City is identified as a copermittee within the San Diego region municipal stormwater permit, Order No. R9-2013-0001, as amended (MS4 Permit), issued by the San Diego Region Water Quality Control Board. The MS4 Permit identifies waste discharge requirements for owners and operators of a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) within San Diego County. The City owns and operates a MS4 and is subject to these requirements.
Provision E.3 of the MS4 Permit, titled “Development Planning,” requires the City to implement a program to control and reduce the discharge of pollutants in stormwater discharges from development projects. Specifically, Provision E.3.e requires the City to 06/11/2024 C4 17 of 87
4889-7683-7293, v. 1 3
confirm proper design, construction and maintenance of structural BMPs (e.g., bioretention basins, hydrodynamic separators, vegetated swales) on Priority Development Project sites. The City intends to obtain a Consultant to assist with fulfilling these requirements through support of structural BMP inventory management and conducting routine inspections of City and privately owned structural BMPs.
Provision E.5 of the MS4 Permit, titled “Existing Development Management,” requires the City to implement a program to control and reduce the discharge of pollutants in stormwater discharges from existing development facilities. The existing development management program is required to include, but is not limited to the following, components:
• Inventory and tracking of existing development facilities, including Commercial, Industrial, Municipal, and Residential properties (Provision E.5.a) • Establish minimum BMPs to be implemented and maintained (Provision E.5.b) • Conduct inspections of existing development facilities (Provision E.5.c) The City intends to obtain a Consultant to assist with fulfilling these requirements through assistance with management of the facility inventory and conducting routine inspections of existing development facilities for compliance with minimum BMPs.
Fats, Oil, and Grease Inspections
The City of Vista and Buena Sanitation District each convey sewage for treatment at the Encina Wastewater Authority’s (EWA) Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF). The City’s SSMP has developed a FOG Program and needs to conduct inspection of FSEs to ensure compliance with City requirements. The City intends to obtain a Consultant to assist with fulfilling these inspection requirements. The City has FOG binders with informational flyers and BMP manuals available for distribution to FSE’s during inspections by the selected Consultant. Enforcement actions are not the responsibility of the Consultant, and will only be conducted by City staff.
Additional Resources
This solicitation of proposals will be used to select the Consultant most qualified to support and conduct as-needed stormwater and FOG inspection services on behalf of the City. Proposers should be familiar with the City’s stormwater and FOG inspection requirements identified in the following documents:
• National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit and Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges from the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) Draining the Watersheds within the San Diego Region (California Regional Water Quality Control Board San Diego Region, Order No.
R9-2013-0001, as amended).
06/11/2024 C4 18 of 87
4889-7683-7293, v. 1 4
• National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities (California State Water Resources Control Board, Order No. 2014-0057 DWQ) • City of Vista Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program, 2023 update. • City of Vista BMP Design Manual for Permanent Site Design, Stormwater Treatment and Hydromodification Management, Updated September 2021. • City of Vista & Buena Sanitation District – Sewer System Management Plan, Updated May 2019.
This will be an as-needed job order contract for professional services. A separate scope of work and purchase order will be prepared for each request for work performed through the contract. The Consultant shall be capable of conducting any of the City’s stormwater and FOG inspections identified in the aforementioned documents. The City does not anticipate the Consultant will be executing all these services, but rather be able to respond to specific requirements as requested by the City.
The MS4 Permit is anticipated to be reissued in the 2025 calendar year.. The City intends to utilize this contract to support existing and future permit inspection requirements on an as-needed basis through a three year contract, with options to extend an additional two years.
III. PROPOSED SCOPE OF SERVICES
The City is soliciting proposals from a Consultant, or team of consultants, to conduct as- needed stormwater and FOG inspection services to improve the quality of stormwater discharges, including the elimination of non-stormwater discharges and the potential for FOG-based sanitary sewer overflow events. Services requested of the Consultant will be guided by the aforementioned documents identified in the Background and Project Description (Section II). Examples of activities likely to be conducted by the Consultant are described in the following subsections.
For all inspections discussed in this RFP, the City utilizes Cityworks software as its GIS- based interface to manage inventories, conduct inspections, record violations, and track enforcement actions for annual reporting. It is expected that the selected Consultant will use Cityworks for these inspection services through use of in-field tablets or laptops, and/or desktop computer. Examples of Cityworks forms used to complete activities described in this RFP are provided in Attachment A.
Selected Consultant shall be responsible for securing their own transportation to access inspection sites and their own tablets to access Cityworks.

4889-7683-7293, v. 1 6
Storm Sewer System Permit (MS4 Permit). The City’s existing development facility inventory includes approximately 1,100 properties including approximately 3,100 industrial and commercial businesses. These properties and businesses are required to implement BMPs to prevent the discharge of pollutants to the storm drain system, consistent with the City’s Stormwater Standards Manual (see Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program document, Appendix C). Inspections are conducted to confirm facilities remain in compliance with these requirements, as well as applicability of other environmental regulations (e.g., Industrial General Permit or hazardous waste management).
The City uses business license data, GIS, and Cityworks software to regularly maintain and update the facility inventory. Properties are prioritized annually for inspection.
Approximately 20 percent of the inventory is inspected annually so that all properties in the inventory are inspected at least once during the 5-year MS4 Permit cycle.
As-needed support for industrial and commercial facility inspections may include, but is not limited to, the following tasks:
• Review of property-based inventory,
• Assess facility and/or parcel threat to water quality and prioritize for inspection • Develop inspection schedule consistent with MS4 Permit inspection requirements • Conduct property-based inspections, assessing compliance with BMPs • Conduct follow-up property and business inspections to ensure corrective actions are implemented

• Identification and immediate notification of illicit connections or discharges • Input all inspection data, including photographs, field notes, and corrective actions into Cityworks software
• Prepare technical memorandums, procedures, inspection summary reports, and outreach materials (e.g., fact sheets) for facility/parcel inspections
Existing Development Inspections – Residential Properties The City maintains an inventory of 20 Residential Management Area (RMAs) within its jurisdictional boundary. The RMAs are delineated by drainage basins and/or common development patterns. Residential properties are required to implement BMPs to prevent the discharge of pollutants to the storm drain system, consistent with the City’s Stormwater Standards Manual (see Jurisdictional Runoff Management Program document, Appendix C). RMA inspections are conducted to confirm properties remain in compliance with these requirements.

2 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City has been implementing its stormwater inspection programs pursuant to its existing Jurisdictional Runoff Management Plan (JRMP) and Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Order R9-2013- 0001 and amendments (MS4 Permit). Further, the City implements its Fats, Oil and Grease (FOG) inspection program pursuant to its Sanitary Sewer Management Plan and State Water Resources Control Board Order No. 2022-0103-DWQ. The intent of the collective inspection programs is to achieve improved water quality in the City’s outfall discharges (or stormwater discharges), as well as downstream receiving water bodies.
The City must inspect its entire inventory of existing development once every five years using one of three inspection types: driving patrols, onsite, or visual inspections of publicly accessible inventoried facilities or areas by volunteer monitoring or patrol programs that have been trained by the City. At a minimum, the City must annually perform onsite inspections of an equivalent of at least 20 percent of its inventoried existing development areas and facilities. Furthermore, all properties in the inventory must be inspected at least once during the 5-year MS4 Permit cycle.
Based on several considerations, the City must evaluate the structural BMPs (private and City-owned) in its regularly updated inventory to designate high-priority structural BMPs. The City must inspect all designated high-priority structural BMPs at Priority Development Projects annually prior to each rainy season (October 1st).
The City conducts FOG inspections at Food Service Establishments (FSEs) annually. These inspections are intended to reduce the amount of FOG in the sanitary sewer collection system and the resulting overflows that adversely impact the environment. Inspections include reviewing the practices and FOG control devices at FSEs and prioritizing an education and outreach approach rather than enforcement.
The City also seeks support for prioritizing the inspections based on several factors, including facility type, areas of the sanitary sewer collection system that have been impacted by FOG, and other considerations.
MOE shares the City’s overall approach to compliance inspections. The following are a few examples of this shared approach:
The importance of maintaining good working relationships with regulated communities as exemplified by electing not to perform FSE inspections during peak operating hours of 11 am to 1 pm. Maintaining good working relationships enhances the opportunity for compliance by the regulated communities.
Performing meaningful inspections and not simply “checking off boxes”: inspecting to protect and improve water quality.
Seeking programmatic efficiencies while maintaining water quality effectiveness. Evaluating and documenting program elements to identify source threats to water quality as well as demonstrate program effectiveness.

MANAGEMENT APPROACH TO PROJECT
The proposed approach described herein to accomplish the work is inclusive of all management tasks identified in the RFP.
Our approach to overall project management and implementation includes several key elements:
Communication: MOE recognizes the need to be available for meetings with City staff to coordinate efforts and confirm management and implementation approaches. Our staff is available at all times to meet and discuss or respond to all situations regarding project services.
Our Project Manager, Nehemiah Martinez, will maintain appropriate contact with City representative(s) to ensure proper coordination during all phases of the project. Leadership: Our Principal-In-Charge, Mikhail Ogawa, will support the Project Manager, Nehemiah Martinez, by ensuring appropriate resources are continuously available to deliver project services.
Mikhail will be available to communicate with City staff any concerns or successes regarding MOE and the project. Mikhail will support Nehemiah to be successful in his role. Compliance Focused Implementation: One of the primary foundations of our firm’s approach is providing cost effective and efficient services that are compliant with regulatory requirements. We take the time to understand the requirements of the MS4 Permit, City applicable Water Quality Improvement Plans, JRMP, and other applicable regulatory documents so that the recommendations we offer are sound and maintain compliance. Experience: We use our experiences within the region to enhance the services provided. MOE is currently involved in many key regional, watershed, and jurisdictional efforts including, but not limited to: WQIP implementation, MS4 permit reissuance, TMDL implementation, reporting and assessment standards, effectiveness assessment, monitoring programs, trash amendment implementation, land development efforts and regional workgroups.
MOE will coordinate and schedule all tasks to maintain a high level of efficiency. Many of the inspection tasks’ activities have the opportunity for synergy – meaning they can be performed in conjunction with each other to best make use of staff’s expertise and time. Prior to implementing any of the major project tasks (i.e. structural BMP inspections), MOE will prepare a schedule to be reviewed and approved by the City that considers synergy between inspection tasks.
Upon receipt of task order requests from the City, Mr. Martinez will meet with City task managers to review project objectives, approaches, schedules, and deliverables. Mr. Martinez will identify a plan to address the task order within the schedule and approaches confirmed by the City. MOE will then prepare a scope proposal, including methodology to complete the work, fee estimate, and schedule for the City to review.
Once the City has issued a Purchase Order and Notice to Proceed, Mr. Martinez will be responsible for directing the team and delivering work products to the City while maintaining continued communication with City staff throughout each task. MOE maintains a proactive style of project management designed to keep project schedules and budgets on track.
MOE recognizes the importance of tracking the progress of inspection programs for compliance with the MS4 Permit. Equally important is the progress of the contract, both for schedule(s) and budget. MOE will inform the City of project progress through meetings or periodic status reports and budget updates to communicate the progress of the tasks and overall project.
QUALITY AND COST CONTROL MEASURES
Quality and cost controls are most effective when clear scopes of work and budgets are established at the start of a project – during the job order development process. MOE will work with the City to select the desired approaches and project deliverables and develop scopes of work that are well defined, realistic and achievable. Along with clear scopes, there is a need for appropriate and well described project budgets. Ensuring each task is appropriately budgeted is essential to the success of each project.
MOE’s methods of Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) implementation are as follows:
06/11/2024 C4 62 of 87
City of Vista – As-Needed Property Inspections: Stormwater and Fats, Oil & Grease (FOG) April 22, 2024
Prior to beginning any job order for the City, Nehemiah Martinez (Project Manager) and Genel Davis (QA/QC lead) will confirm the QA/QC requirements with the City for project deliverables and activities.
For each project, Ms. Davis will prepare a project control plan. • The plan will establish the goals, objectives, methods, project staff, and QC requirements necessary for the project's proper development and implementation. It will be updated as necessary as the project proceeds.
• Inspection activities require a specific type of QC Plan that uses checklists and periodic reviews of collected data to ensure appropriate data is collected for City use. MOE has developed and used inspection specific QC plans for Vista and other cities. • When required to develop documents for this project, the QC Plan will accomplish the following:
1) Identify the level of detail to be applied to each review and which milestones will require QC reviews.
2) Identify the QC reviewers responsible for reviewing each task and the Project/Task Manager responsible for QA verification. Mr. Martinez will be reviewing each written memorandum, report or plan document before submission to the City. 3) The QC Plan will include a review log to be used by the task manager for tracking and documenting the QC process. The QA/QC lead will also use the review log to confirm that appropriate QC reviews have occurred.
As necessary, with confirmation of City staff, QC reviews will be outlined as work tasks and integrated into the project schedule. With the completion of each work product, the product author will assemble a set of documents to be reviewed by the designated QC reviewers and Mr. Martinez.
In the event that any work product or deliverable is to be released to the City before required QA/QC procedures have been performed, the following will be implemented:
• Mr. Martinez will approve the release of the work product or deliverable, • The documents will be marked “Draft/Review Copy – For Information Only,” and • The City will be notified in the transmittal correspondence that the QC process has not been completed for the specified work products or deliverables. All QA/QC documentation will be kept in project files to demonstrate that the project QA/QC requirements are met.
TECHNICAL APPROACH TO PROJECT
The proposed approach described herein to accomplish the work is inclusive of all scope of work tasks identified in the RFP.
Our technical approach starts with several key elements:
Safety: MOE takes safety seriously and adopts a safety culture into all projects. Our field staff are trained and certified to identify and implement necessary practices for confined spaces. We are trained and equipped to address first aid needs in all project settings. We have the proper equipment and tools necessary to access structural BMPs and FOG devices in a safe manner. Resource Management: MOE proactively plans and schedules resources to deliver diverse project services. We use resource management software to ensure that appropriate staff are available to perform services.
Training and coordination: MOE conducts continued training for staff and has periodic internal workshops to maintain our understanding of the types and severity of issues identified from compliance inspections. At the workshops, staff share findings, resolutions and discuss the impacts to jurisdictional programs and effectiveness.
Specific to the inspection tasks, the following general approach will be applied. Following the general approach description, supplemental approach elements are identified for each of the inspection types.
For all inspection types, our approach to implementing the services described in the RFP will begin with assisting the City with its inventory management and prioritization for inspections. We will schedule the 06/11/2024 C4 63 of 87
City of Vista – As-Needed Property Inspections: Stormwater and Fats, Oil & Grease (FOG) April 22, 2024
required inspections to ensure inspections and necessary follow-up with responsible parties are complete by the regulatory timelines. Inspections include data management and QC oversight to ensure that inspection data are adequate for both demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements and effectiveness of the City’s program.
Similar to services provided to the City of Vista and other regional jurisdictions, if requested, MOE will prepare memorandums, procedures, inspection summary reports, and support materials (e.g., fact sheets) for the four inspection types.
While performing field work in the City, upon identification, MOE will immediately notify City staff of illicit connections or discharges. This notification has typically been completed by emailing [email protected] so that the City can readily record the illicit discharges and illegal connections identified by MOE.
STRUCTURAL BMP INSPECTION PROGRAM
We will schedule annual inspections to achieve any
follow-up with responsible parties and the completion
of the inspections by October 1st each year.
As discussed in the RFP, if requested, MOE will use
our experience to perform structural BMP design
reviews and construction verification.
MOE understands that the City has maintained
detailed files for each Priority Development Project
and can provide those files so that we may use
appropriate documents to evaluate structural BMP
field conditions fully. Further, we will use our work
experience in Vista to identify onsite locations and
conditions of structural BMPs efficiently.
MOE assumes the City will manage the self-
verification element of the program. However, we
have experience managing several self-verification
programs and can assist in the implementation of the
City’s program if requested.
EXISTING DEVELOPMENT INSPECTIONS – INDUSTRIAL AND
COMMERCIAL FACILITIES
MOE will work with the City to identify the properties to be inspected using the City’s Property Based
inspection protocols, developed with the support of MOE. MOE will inspect the assigned properties and use our own cell service-enabled tablets to record findings into the City’s Cityworks system.
EXISTING DEVELOPMENT INSPECTIONS – RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES If the City desires support, we will schedule patrols to ensure the minimum number of Residential Management Area inspections are completed on an annual basis. MOE will conduct driving patrols of RMAs, assess compliance with BMPs, and conduct follow- up stormwater compliance inspections.
FATS, OIL AND GREASE (FOG) INSPECTIONS
MOE will review the City’s developed FOG BMP Manual and poster and provide comments, if any, for revisions.
MOE will provide the necessary and proper equipment and tools to perform the FOG inspections.
Upon review of the FSE’s grease control devices and associated documentation/records, MOE will enter all data into Cityworks.

City of Vista – As-Needed Property Inspections: Stormwater and Fats, Oil & Grease (FOG) April 22, 2024
It is anticipated that MOE will use
City provided materials to prepare
binders for FSEs use.
MOE will provide education and
outreach to the FSE
owner/manager as-needed.
MOE will notify the City frequently
of FSEs that require a follow-up
inspection from City staff.
PROGRAM ADAPTATIONS
As-needed MOE will support the
City through the identification of
program adaptations that can
improve the efficiency or
effectiveness of program elements
while maintaining a focus on water
quality protection and
improvement.
Recently, MOE used this approach to support the City’s revisions to the TCBMP prioritization process and implementation of a property-based commercial/industrial existing development program.
PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS
Through years of experience, we have found that it is often difficult to engage with business owners who are untrusting of non-patrons entering their businesses. Unfortunately, solicitors and nefarious individuals have attempted to take advantage of business owners. The resulting suspicion can make it difficult to gain entry to perform required inspection activities. The process of gaining entry can be lengthy and may burden City staff by requiring their valuable time to communicate with the business owners. We have found effective and efficient methods of engaging with the business owners by providing City business cards or City-issued contractor badges to contract inspectors. If City policies do not allow cards or badges to be issued, authorization letters printed on City letterhead are recommended. MOE has identified these letters to proceed as effective tools in gaining access for inspections. 3 PROJECT TEAM AND ORGANIZATION CHART
The organizational chart on the following page identifies MOE staff that will provide services to the City of Vista for this project. All team members are experienced, versatile and critical to our service mission.
Resumes for all proposed team members available to support the City are included at the end of this proposal as Attachment 1. MOE will not substitute staff without prior written approval of the City.
Although all staff in the chart are available to fulfill the required services, key personnel expected to be involved with this project are listed below with brief discussions of their relevant experience.
Nehemiah Martinez, as the Project Manager and Mikhail Ogawa, as the Principal-In-Charge, will maintain a strong presence and role in all tasks. This includes participation in task scoping efforts, kickoff and coordination meetings, and providing review of all project deliverables. This management style allows for high quality work products and minimal administrative burden on City of Vista staff. As services are requested by the City, Mr. Martinez will individualize a task-specific team, including a task-lead, that will support the City’s needs.
Nehemiah and Mikhail will be the primary contacts for this contract. To maintain project efficiencies, MOE proposes to have task leads communicate directly with City staff for day-to-day scheduling and field issues identified that require immediate attention of the City.
Mr. Ogawa is committed to this project and his role as Principal-In-Charge, supporting Nehemiah, the Project Manager, and the entire project team. One of his responsibilities in this role is to ensure that all team members have the resources to work and deliver quality products for the term of the project.

Recent Relevant Project Experience
MOE has developed and implemented successful inspection programs in the region for the past 20 years.
Some highlights of our recent experience connected with the City’s RFP program elements are presented below:
MOE has provided the As-Needed Property Inspection Services requested in the City’s RFP for municipalities in the local region, including the City of Vista. In some cases, we have evaluated existing programs and enhanced the inspection programs to be more effective. For all of our services, we work closely with staff to ensure that our inspection schedules meet program needs and requirements.
Through programmatic implementation, MOE has experience using Cityworks for several jurisdictions, including the City of Vista, and other proprietary systems for tracking inspection data and information.
We provide our own field equipment (i.e. tablets) and internet connectivity. Our experience in data management and documenting findings allows cities to appropriately follow-up or, in some cases, enforce.
MOE continually looks to enhance and create efficiencies in JRMP program elements that allow for efficient implementation that meets permit compliance and supports the protection and improvement of water quality.
MOE is a pioneer of parcel/property-based patrols in the region. MOE developed the concept and established the first stormwater parcel-based inspection program in the region. We have honed the implementation procedures and documented protocols to be as effective and efficient as possible. Parcel- based inspections implemented in the region highlight our innovation with programmatic implementation.
MOE recently supported the development and implementation of protocols for Property-based Inspections for the City of Vista’s existing development inspection program. Protocol development included enhancements to inventory structure and the creation of inspection procedures. Through this process, MOE has streamlined the workflow for conducting efficient and cost-effective inspections.
MOE has a robust training program that includes technical, safety, ethics, cyber-security, and professionalism elements. MOE does not release staff to perform independent field services for clients until they have been thoroughly trained in all facets of our services. We have had tremendous success through our training program with clients providing feedback that our staff are thorough, demonstrate technical expertise, excellent communication, and are professional when engaging City staff and the public.
Table 1 below identifies the relevance of some of MOE’s recent projects to the scope of work identified in the City’s As-Needed Property Inspections: Stormwater and Fats, Oil & Grease (FOG) RFP.
