The prime consultant mark-up for sub-consultants and direct costs shall not exceed ten percent (10%). The City reserves the right to request proposals from other firms throughout for special projects requiring unique qualifications.

2 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING OF REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
The City of Vista implements its stormwater program per its Jurisdictional Runoff Management Plan (JRMP) and the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit (Order R9-2013-0001, as amended). Vista is a Copermittee in the Carlsbad and San Luis Rey Watershed Management Areas (WMAs), coordinating strategies through the respective WMA Water Quality Improvement Plans (WQIPs).

In the Carlsbad WMA, the City currently focuses on hydromodification as the highest priority water quality condition, while addressing other priority water quality conditions (PWQCs) through phased, adaptive monitoring and management. In the San Luis Rey WMA, Vista’s tributary area is relatively small; however, the City has remained an active partner in WQIP implementation, Bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) issues, and in the recently completed Provision B.3.c watershed planning process, which refined pollutant priorities, schedules, and multi-benefit project opportunities.

As the MS4 Permit Reissuance approaches, Vista must continue balancing regulatory expectations across both WMAs. Our team understands this context and will support the City in meeting its obligations efficiently, ensuring regulatory compliance while focusing resources where they have the greatest water quality benefits. Among other updates, the permit reissuance is expected to include trash requirements and a new WQIP process. This process will allow the City to reevaluate and adapt its PWQCs and Highest Priority Water Quality Conditions (HPWQCs). The MOE Team closely monitors the trash requirements, statewide cost-reporting obligations, and the anticipated changes to the watershed management provisions of the MS4 Permit Reissuance. MOE’s involvement in regional and statewide efforts provides insights into and an understanding of the regulatory environment the City faces. Our involvement includes, but is not limited to:
Directly engaging with the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) across many topics: MS4 Permit, Construction General Permit (CGP), Wastewater Permits, Industrial General Permit (IGP) Maintaining a strong leadership role in the San Diego Region for the MS4 Permit Reissuance process Participating in SD Regional Copermittee groups: Program Planning Subcommittee; several WMA groups; Land Development Workgroup, Project Clean Water Workgroup
Leading (as watershed coordinator) efforts of the Carlsbad WMA Copermittees Managing programs for several Copermittees in the San Diego Region Participating in California Stormwater Quality Association (CASQA) Committees focused on Policy and Permitting, the incorporation of trash requirements into MS4 permits, and statewide cost reporting for Copermittees Although the MS4 Permit is the City's most significant regulatory issue, other state and national issues, including those listed in the table below, also have implications for the City. While it is beyond the scope of this discussion to elaborate on each of these issues, it is enough to note that these policies and regulations will likely have some impact, ranging from minor to significant, on the City of Vista.

• WOTUS: New State legislation to revise the definition of WOTUS 3 PROPOSED TASK ORDER APPROACH

Our approach to managing task orders under Vista’s as-needed contract builds on proven methods of effective communication, workload management, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance. The following key elements define our approach:

TIME AND BUDGET MANAGEMENT
Time and budget management are essential for completing multiple task order assignments successfully. When task orders are initiated, our Project Manager, Mikhail Ogawa, will meet with the City to confirm scope, deliverables, and expectations. We ask that the City provide high-level and key scope points to help streamline development and reduce revisions. Our team will prepare a proposal letter with a budget and schedule for the City's review. Any necessary adjustments will be made quickly to speed up the purchase order process. Each task order will include a timeline with City milestones, regulatory deadlines, and delivery dates.

Individual task order budgets and total agreement capacity will be monitored using our internal project management tools, which forecast completion costs. This approach ensures resources are aligned with the City’s needs and that all work stays within approved budgets.

MOE Overall Project Management and Implementation
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 always available to meet and discuss or respond to all situations regarding project services. Our Project Manager, Mikhail Ogawa, will maintain appropriate contact with City representative(s) to ensure proper coordination during all project phases. Leadership: MOE’s two Principals, Mikhail Ogawa and Roshan Christoph, will support the City, by ensuring appropriate resources are continuously available to deliver project services. Our Principals will be available to communicate with City staff about any concerns or successes regarding MOE and the project. 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 WQIPs, JRMP, City Municipal Code, and other applicable regulatory documents so that the recommendations we offer are sound and maintain compliance. Experience: We leverage our regional experiences to improve the services we offer. MOE is actively involved in many important regional, watershed, and jurisdictional initiatives including, but not limited to: WQIP implementation, MS4 permit reissuance, TMDL implementation, reporting and assessment standards, effectiveness evaluation, monitoring programs, trash program deployment, land development efforts, and regional workgroups. 10/14/2025 C4 50 of 156

City of Vista – As-Needed Stormwater Program Technical Support Services August 22, 2025

Page 3 of 10 ends

DOCUMENTATION
We will provide a budget update with each task order invoice. This process offers the City a clear and concise view of progress and costs. We use standardized electronic filing systems for all task orders, ensuring consistent organization of communications, technical submittals, and billing data.

REQUIREMENTS FROM THE CITY
We will request available data, records, and other relevant information at the beginning of each task order to support efficient project execution. Depending on the nature of the task, we may seek City guidance, oversight, or participation in technical and regulatory discussions. Our goal is to reduce the burden on City staff by developing clear scopes and identifying deliverables early.

WORKLOAD MANAGEMENT
We carefully oversee staff availability and workload for each task order. MOE management holds weekly workload meetings to assess utilization, upcoming deliverables, and staffing requirements. We also have regular check-ins with subconsultants to ensure balanced workloads and timely deliverables. With access to a deep pool of regional staff, we can bring in additional resources if needed to support the City.

QUALITY ASSURANCE / QUALITY CONTROL (QA/QC)
MOE’s methods of QA and QC implementation are as follows:
Before beginning any task order for the City, Mikhail Ogawa (Project Manager) and Roshan Christoph (QA/QC lead) will confirm with the City for project deliverables and activities. For each project, Ms. Christoph will prepare a project control plan. • The plan will establish the goals, objectives, methods, project staff, and QC requirements for proper project development and implementation. It will be updated as necessary as the project proceeds. • When required to develop documents for this project, the QC Plan will accomplish the following:
1) Identify milestones for QC reviews.
2) Maintain a review log for the task manager to use for tracking and documenting the QC process. 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. Ogawa.
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. Ogawa 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.

COMPLIANCE AND EXPERIENCE
We recognize that typical task orders align with MS4 Permit requirements, WQIPs, the City’s JRMP, and other applicable regulations. Prior to beginning any task order, our team will identify the relevant regulations and provide recommendations that meet those regulations' requirements and compliance.

MOE’s Approach Ensures Excellent Project Execution
Clear communication with City staff at all stages of task order development and implementation. Strong leadership to manage resources, resolve issues, and deliver high-quality products. Proactive time and budget management to keep work on track and within scope. Rigorous QA/QC to ensure deliverables meet City and regulatory standards. Efficient use of resources while maintaining compliance and program effectiveness. 10/14/2025 C4 51 of 156

LWA assists the San Luis Rey Watershed agencies in implementing MS4 Permit Provision B.3.c through a watershed-wide strategy that balances higher implementation standards with flexibility in measures, monitoring, and schedules. For Vista, whose drainage area is small, compliance efforts are scaled appropriately, with primary focus on Guajome Lake and pollutant concerns of bacteria and nutrients. Dry weather efforts emphasize eliminating non-stormwater flows and addressing possible groundwater contributions, while wet weather strategies prioritize cost-effective, non- structural actions such as agricultural partnerships and sediment controls.

The approach provides Vista with targeted, efficient programs that maintain compliance without straining budgets or ongoing efforts.
