RECOMMENDATION: Adopt City Council Resolution No. 2026- , approving Construction Change Order No. 1 to the contract with Eagle Paving, LLC for the Slurry Seal Project 2026 (CIP Nos. 8262 & 8313).
CORRELATION TO CITY COUNCIL GOALS: Traffic: Continue to enhance mobility safety, improve the flow of traffic for all forms of travel, reduce congestion, and improve our roads and sidewalks.
PRIOR ACTION: On June 6, 2026, adopted City Council Resolution No. 2026-98, adopting a Capital Project Budget for Fiscal Years 2026/27 and 2027/28 (Vote: 5-0).
On May 26, 2026, adopted City Council Resolution No. 2026-85, awarding a construction contract Eagle Paving, LLC for the Slurry Seal Project 2026 (CIP Nos. 8232 & 8313) (Vote: 5-0).
STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) Nos. 8262 - Street Maintenance and Slurry and 8313 - Residential Street Rehabilitation and Maintenance, will maintain and improve the overall condition of City streets. Slurry seal maintenance prolongs the life of existing surface streets and prevents costly repairs and reconstruction later as the asphalt pavement degrades. This project will place asphalt slurry over existing paved roads in many different areas throughout the City and will add a new surface to streets that have been reconstructed over the past several years. The slurry seal will also help prevent cracking of the existing paved surface. A few arterial streets originally proposed for the slurry seal treatment are proposed for an asphalt overlay this year due to rapid deterioration from past heavy rainfall and have been included with the slurry seal work in this contract.
Change Order No. 1 to the Construction Contract: This change order adds two residential streets to the project scope, specifically E. East Drive (N. Santa Fe Ave. to E. Indian Rock Rd.) and Calle Chapultepec (W. California Ave. to W. Connecticut Ave). These streets were identified for repair with this project and will be improved with localized pavement repairs followed by an overlay to address existing pavement distress and extend the service life of the roadway.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of this change order is $399,988 for a new contract ceiling of $3,426,277.74.
Sufficient funding is budgeted and available in the Fiscal Years 2026/27 and 2027/28 Capital Improvement Budgets in CIP No. 8262, the Annual Street Rehabilitation and Maintenance Project Source Appropriation AGENDA

If the Engineer’s approval is conditional, the Change Order will include any conditions upon which the Engineer’s approval is based.
The Change Order shall also include the estimated net savings in the cost of performing the Work due to the accepted cost reduction proposal and provides that the Contract cost be adjusted by crediting the Agency with fifty percent (50%) of estimated net savings amount.
The Contract time will not be extended by the acceptance of the cost reduction proposal and performance of the Work unless specified otherwise in the Change Order.
The amount specified as payable to the Contractor in the Change Order is full compensation for the cost reduction proposal and the performance of the Work.
The Agency expressly reserves the right to adopt a cost reduction proposal for general use on contracts administered by the Agency when it determines that said proposal is suitable for application to other contracts. When an accepted cost reduction proposal is adopted for general use, only the Contractor who first submitted such proposal will be eligible for compensation subject to this subsection, and in that case, only for contracts awarded prior to submission of the accepted cost reduction proposal.
The cost reduction proposals identical or similar to previously submitted proposals will be eligible for consideration and compensation under the provisions of this subsection, if the identical or similar, previously submitted proposal were not adopted for general application to other contracts administered by the Agency.
Subject to the provisions contained herein, the Agency must have the right to use all or any part of any submitted cost reduction proposal without obligation or compensation of any kind to the Contractor.

The request for payment or extension must be made at least fifteen (15) Working Days before the specified completion date. Failure by the Contractor to file these items within the times specified will be considered grounds for refusal by the Agency to consider such request.
By submitting a request for compensation or time extension, the Contractor agrees to make all books and records, including original bid estimates, subcontracts, daily reports, and correspondence, available to the Agency for review. The Contractor also agrees to include this requirement in all subcontracts.

c. Streets to receive slurry seal shall be scheduled the day after trash, recycling, and green waste pick up day. This is to allow the slurry seal to cure for at least one week before heavy truck traffic with turning movements can commence. 09/08/2026 C3 136 of 264
124
d. No rippling, lumping, or balling of unmixed aggregate shall be permitted, nor shall segregation of the emulsion and aggregate fines from the course aggregate be permitted. If, on application, the course aggregate settles to the bottom of the mix, the slurry shall be removed from the pavement and reapplied at no additional cost to the City of Vista. No excessive breaking or separation of the emulsion in the spreader box will be allowed, nor shall the condition known as “skinning over” of the slurry be permitted. No streaks such as those caused by oversized aggregate will be left in the finished pavement. No additional water is to be added after the material leaves the application apparatus.
e. No excessive building causing unsightly appearance shall be permitted on longitudinal or traverse joints. Joints shall be 2" and shall be feathered. No payment will be made for the overlap between joints or excessive, unapproved, overlap. The Contractor shall be responsible for repairing unacceptable lap joints at no additional cost to the City of Vista to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
f. Joints between asphalt pavement and concrete pavement and/or concrete gutters shall be completely and neatly sealed without excessive slop-over onto the concrete.
Any unsightly and objectionable excess shall be immediately removed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer. No payment will be made for any material placed outside the project limits.
g. At street intersections and at the beginning and end of work segments, the slurry is to be neatly spread or trimmed to a straight line. The Contractor shall define the line at street intersections and knuckles in the field with approval from the City’s authorized agent.
h. Approved squeegees or lutes shall be used to spread the emulsion aggregate slurry in areas inaccessible to the machine. Texture of emulsion aggregate slurry spread by hand shall match that which was applied by machine. The Contractor shall be responsible for the removal of all excess emulsion spread beyond slurry limits on driveways, sidewalks, curb and gutter or other structures to include boot prints from Contractor personnel and tire marks resulting from inadequate traffic control measures.
i. Attached to the mixing machine and application apparatus shall be a mechanical type squeegee distributor equipped with flexible material in contact with the surface to prevent loss of emulsion aggregate slurry and adjustable to assure a uniform spread on varying grades and crowns. It shall be steerable, adjustable in width, with a flexible strike-off. The box shall not cause grooving of the slurry by any of its parts. It shall be kept clean and the build up of excessive material on the spreader will not be permitted.
The type of drag, linen or other textile, shall be approved by the Engineer and it shall be cleaned or changed as frequently as needed or when so directed by the Engineer. j. The finished surface of the emulsion aggregate slurry seal shall be at least as smooth as the original pavement surface. Any corrugations on the surface creating vibrations noticeable by passengers in an automobile driving over the slurry sealed surface at legal speeds will result in the rejection of the slurry seal construction. k. Any emulsion aggregate slurry seal application that has been rejected shall be 09/08/2026 C3 137 of 264
125
removed by cold planning to the original pavement. A new emulsion aggregate slurry seal application shall then be placed on the pavement. Any placement of emulsion aggregate slurry seal that is rejected shall be removed and replaced with the entire cost of removal and replacement borne by the Contractor. l. The quantity estimate for emulsion aggregate slurry seal has been calculated utilizing an average spread rate as follows:
Type II 1250SF/TN (or 14.4 pounds of dry aggregate per square yard) m. Payment shall be based on calibration of each individual mixing machine and field verification of tare tickets for dry aggregate. Tickets shall be collected and agreed upon by the Contractor and the City Inspector daily. Any tickets not presented and collected at the end of the day will not be counted for payment. Overall job quantity will be measured by subtracting any residual stockpile after the work is complete. By submitting a bid, the Contractor acknowledges that the actual quantity placed will not be the same as noted in the Bid List. By submitting a bid, the Contractor agrees to extend or contract the unit cost quoted for the Bid Item, Type II Polymer Modified Quick-Set Emulsion-Aggregate Slurry (3%PMCQS-1h-EAS) to the actual quantity placed regardless of the variance with the estimated quantity provided by the Engineer.
n. The slurry sealed area shall be subjected to a minimum of three (3) full coverage passes of a self propelled, 10 ton pneumatic roller with a tire pressure of 50 psi and equipped with a water spray system. Rolling shall not commence until the slurry has cured enough so that it will not pick up on the tires of the roller. Payment for rolling shall be included in the cost of the slurry seal and no additional payment will be made therefore.
o. The sealed surface shall not show separation of the emulsion and aggregate after setting.
p. Adequate means shall be provided to protect the slurry seal from damage from traffic until such time that the mixture has cured sufficiently so that the slurry seal will not adhere to and be picked up by the tires of the vehicles. Basis for rejection of improperly placing slurry seal includes, but is not limited to, striation of surface, “balling” of material due to quick-set and tracks of unauthorized vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. q. After two weeks from application of the slurry seal the street must be swept with a street sweeping vehicle. The same streets shall be swept two (2) times over the following two weeks to remove loose and freed aggregate from the surface and adjacent gutters.

302-5 ASPHALT CONCRETE PAVEMENT.
302-5.1 General.
Revise the first paragraph of this subsection to read as follows:
302-5.1 General. Asphalt concrete pavement shall consist of two (2) or more courses of a mixture of paving asphalt and graded aggregate as specified in Subsection 203-6 Asphalt Concrete.”), placed on a prepared surface of existing or new untreated base, or over existing paving, as necessary to construct the roadway as shown on the Plans or as required to complete the Work (i.e. where new curb is placed, utility cuts, and manhole reconstruction area). The courses shall be of the type of mixture specified. The thickness of asphalt concrete pavement for initial patch areas next to gutters, spandrels, and curbs shall be a minimum of six inches (6”), and the thickness in trenches next to curbs and driveways and in trenches shall be one-inch (1”) thicker than the existing pavement. The initial asphalt concrete patch base course for the items of work shown on the Plans shall be placed full depth from the aggregate base to the existing pavement surface as soon as the adjacent improvements are cured sufficiently to allow the paving to proceed. The initial asphalt concrete patch shall be placed in multiple move-ins to accommodate the required traffic control and staging phases, and to ensure that traffic is allowed to use the improvements as quickly as possible. Asphalt concrete in streets and parking lot areas where there is no base shall be placed on a prepared section of subgrade material to the thickness shown on the Plans. The surface course of asphalt concrete shall be a minimum of one and one-half inches (1-1/2”) thick with a one inch (1”) minimum thickness at the 09/08/2026 C3 139 of 264
127
overlay key. The surface course shall be placed in the minimum number of move-ins necessary to accommodate the required traffic control and staging phases, but minimize the joints in the new asphalt concrete surface. Before the surface course is placed, the edges of existing pavement shall be cold milled to form an overlay key as shown on the Plans or as specified.
In a parking lot, the entire accessible parking stall and loading area shall not exceed two percent (2.00%) in any direction, NO EXCEPTIONS.
Add the following paragraph to read as follows:
Temporary asphalt concrete pavement and striping may be required to implement the traffic control and construction phasing shown on the Plans or specified. In sidewalk areas temporary AC surfacing shall be at least one inch (1”) thick. In the streets, a greater thickness may be required. Temporary surfacing and striping shall be placed before the end of the work period so traffic can be restored at the time of day specified, and it shall remain in place or be replaced regularly until the area is ready for permanent pavement and striping. Full compensation for all work required to install, maintain, and dispose of temporary asphalt concrete pavement and striping will be considered as included in the price bid for Traffic Control and Construction Phasing and no additional compensation will be allowed therefore.
302-5.4 Tack Coat.
Replace the first sentence of the first paragraph with the following:
302-5.4 Tack Coat. If the asphalt concrete pavement is being constructed directly upon an existing hard-surfaced pavement, a Tack Coat of PG 64-10 paving asphalt shall be uniformly applied at a rate no less than 0.07 gallons per square yard (g/sq. yd.) upon the existing pavement preceding the placement of asphalt concrete. Payment for this item shall be included in the unit price for the related asphalt concrete pavement or overlay and no additional compensation will be allowed.
Replace the third paragraph with the following:
If the asphalt concrete pavement is being constructed directly upon an existing hard- surfaced pavement, a Tack Coat of PG 64-10 paving asphalt shall be uniformly applied at a rate no less than 0.07 gallons per square yard (g/sq. yd.) upon the existing pavement preceding the placement of asphalt concrete. Payment for this item shall be included in the unit price for related asphalt concrete pavement or overlay and no additional compensation will be allowed.
302-5.5 Distribution and Spreading.
Add the following paragraphs:
09/08/2026 C3 140 of 264
128
In addition to the requirements in Subsection 302-5.5 (“Distribution and Spreading.”) of the Standard Specifications, asphalt paving equipment shall be equipped with automatic screed controls and a sensing device or devices. When placing asphalt concrete, the automatic controls shall control the longitudinal grade and transverse slope of the screed.
Grade and slope references shall be furnished, installed, and maintained by the Contractor.
At locations where new asphalt concrete pavement joins an unimproved shoulder, the Contractor shall taper the new asphalt edge by raking out all aggregate three-eighths inch or larger (3/8+”) and feathering the new paving to form a smooth transition to join the unimproved shoulder. The transition shall extend a minimum of eighteen inches (18”) onto the shoulder. Additional tack coat shall be applied to all tapered transitions to prevent raveling of the new pavement. Tapers shall be raked, rolled, and compacted so there is no lip exceeding one-quarter inch (1/4”).
Should the methods and equipment furnished by the Contractor fail to produce a layer of asphalt concrete conforming to the requirements, including straightedge tolerance, of Subsection 302-5.6.2 (“Density and Smoothness.”) of the Standard Specifications, the paving operations shall be discontinued and the Contractor shall modify their equipment or furnish substitute equipment.
Careful attention shall be given to maintaining proposed surface drainage conditions during placement of asphalt overlay. Unless otherwise directed by the Engineer, existing drainage patterns shall be maintained.
Should the automatic screed controls fail to operate properly during any work period, the Contractor may use manual control of the spreading equipment for the remainder of the work period; however, the equipment shall be corrected or replaced with alternative automatically controlled equipment conforming to the requirements in this Subsection before starting another work period.
Prior to placing asphalt concrete, the Contractor shall provide covers over all existing storm drain grates and inlets to prevent entry of debris.
The streets identified for overlay may have rutting, offset crowns, high spots, or low spots that need to be corrected to re-establish the proper street grade. Cold milling shall be used to remove high spots. Tack coat and leveling courses of asphalt concrete shall be placed to fill low spots and ruts and to re-establish street grades prior to the placement of asphalt concrete overlay. The Contractor shall use cold milling to remove high spots and to provide joints for AC leveling course, in areas as directed by the Engineer. The Contractor shall place tack coat in the areas delineated by the Engineer, and rake the edges of the variable thickness AC leveling course to create smooth feathering. If a quantity of AC leveling course is included in the Bid Schedule, it is a rough estimate for bidding purposes. Subsequently, these bid items are exempt from the adjustment of bid unit prices under Subsection 3-2.2.3 (“Decreases of More than 25 Percent.”). If Leveling Course is needed, that work shall be directed by the Engineer in the field. The Contractor 09/08/2026 C3 141 of 264
129
shall cooperate with the Engineer in placing the leveling course as required to re-establish street grades, and perform the work as directed by the Engineer. 302-5.6 Rolling.
302-5.6.2 Density and Smoothness.
Add the following paragraphs to this subsection:
Contractor shall have a ten foot (10’) straightedge onsite at all times during all paving operations for use in checking the smoothness of the surface.
The finished surface of the asphalt concrete pavement shall be placed three-eighths inch (3/8”) above the gutter lip to allow full compaction of the asphalt at the gutter edge and to prevent damage to the gutter lip caused by the roller.
At curb ramps the finished surface of the asphalt concrete pavement shall be placed one-eighth inch (1/8”) above the gutter lip. If the asphalt concrete surface is more than one-quarter inch (1/4”) above the lip or if the slope of the asphalt concrete surface at the gutter lip exceeds five percent (5%), the Contractor shall grind the pavement until it is equal to or less than five percent (5%) and flush with the gutter lip. 302-5.7 Joints.
Add the following paragraph to this subsection:
Joints between successive runs shall be placed to match striped lane lines. If this placement pattern cannot be met, joints between successive runs shall be in the center of the driving lane.
302-5.8 Manholes (and Other Structures).
Add the following paragraphs to this subsection:
The Contractor shall mark out and note locations of all manholes, covers, survey monuments, vaults, and other structures located at the street surface before paving operations commence. As the paving operation proceeds, the Contractor shall mark all manholes and other structures with paint for the owner’s ease in locating them in case of an emergency.
The Bid Schedule lists separate bid items for the adjustment of [utility manholes and valve covers owned by other agencies, sewer cleanouts, water valve sleeves and covers, CP Test Station covers, survey monument covers, etc.] and other miscellaneous facilities requiring adjustment to the finished grade. Separate bid items are included for adjusting manholes to grade using pre-cast concrete grade rings. The Contractor shall adjust all facilities to grade as required to complete the work in accordance with the standards of 09/08/2026 C3 142 of 264
130
the facility owner, unless those facilities are designated to be adjusted to grade “By Others”.
The Contractor shall adjust all storm drain manholes, sewer cleanouts and manholes, water valve sleeves and covers, survey monument covers and other structures requiring adjustment to the finished grade within the areas to be paved or planted in accordance with these Project Specifications and the Standard Specifications. The Contractor shall coordinate the adjustment of the covers with the associated utility owner and make sure the utility covers are uncovered and adjusted to grade immediately after the final paving to maintain access in case of an emergency. Frames and covers may need to be temporarily adjusted to be safe and provide access to the utilities during separate base course and surface course paving operations, but only the final adjustment will be a pay item. Repaving required as a result of reconstruction or adjusting frames and covers to grade shall be the responsibility of the Contractor and the cost thereof shall be included in the bid price paid for the related items of work requiring such adjustment.
Sewer and storm drain manholes belonging to Vista shall be adjusted or reconstructed in accordance with the Vista Sewer System Design Standard Specifications. Manholes are either twenty-four inch (24”) single covers or thirty-six inch (36”) two-piece covers.
Some manholes have existing cast-iron adjustment rings. For manholes that are in good condition and have no more than one cast-iron adjustment ring, the Contractor may adjust the manholes to grade using another cast-iron adjustment ring, for a maximum of two cast- iron rings. If the grout around the upper precast concrete riser rings or the frame is defective, the Contractor shall adjust the manhole to grade by removing the cover and frame, salvaging the cast-iron rings, and removing the precast concrete rings until the grout in the remaining precast concrete rings is in good condition, as determined by the Engineer. Then the Contractor shall adjust the frame and cover to grade using new precast concrete riser rings. If the cover is sitting low in the existing frame or adjustment ring, or the frame or cover is defective, the Contractor shall salvage the existing frame, cover, and rings, supply a new frame and cover, and adjust the new frame and cover to grade using precast concrete riser rings. If any manhole is defective to the extent that it requires fifteen inches or more (15”+) of pre-cast concrete riser rings to adjust the cover to grade, the Contractor shall reconstruct the manhole as described in the Specifications.
The Contractor shall exercise care so that surface materials such as rocks, dirt, and debris do not enter sewer lines, manholes, valve and cleanout sleeves, and other utility structures. In order to prevent contamination, Contractor shall provide a three-quarter inch (3/4”) thick plywood platform to be placed on the concrete shelf at the bottom of sewer manholes prior to cold milling pavement work. The shape of this platform shall conform to the circumference of the inside wall at the shelf elevation. After the manhole had been adjusted, the material accumulated on the plywood shelf along with the plywood shelf shall be removed from the manhole and disposed of in accordance with Subsection 300-1.3 Removal and Disposal of Materials.”) The Contractor shall remove all debris from the interior of manholes, valve covers, and cleanouts and shall clean all foreign material from the top of the frames and covers.
Because VID water valve cover and CP Test Station cover adjustments in paved areas must be done as the paving operation proceeds, VID typically has a crew working at the 09/08/2026 C3 143 of 264
131
same time the Contractor is performing the paving operations. If VID is not able to perform the work due to an unforeseen circumstance, the Contractor shall adjust those facilities to grade on behalf of VID as the paving work is being done. Because the quantity of VID covers to be adjusted depends on the availability of VID crews to perform the work, the quantity in the Bid is a rough estimate for bidding purposes only. Stipulated unit prices may be included in the Bid to eliminate for all bidders the risk of including prices for those items of work in the bid and not getting the work. Subsequently, these bid items are exempt from the adjustment of bid unit prices under Subsection 3-2.2.3 (“Decreases of More than 25 Percent.”).
Within five (5) Working Days of placing the asphalt concrete, the Contractor shall complete the adjustment of the manholes and miscellaneous utility frames and covers to grade. Immediately after the overlay operation, the Contractor shall mark all manhole and miscellaneous utility frames and cover locations with paint for ease of locating them in case of an emergency.
The tops of reset manholes and miscellaneous utility frames and covers shall meet the smoothness requirements as specified in Subsection 302-5.6.2 (“Density and Smoothness.”) and be reconstructed per the City of Vista Standard Drawing SWR-33 SEWER MANHOLE RECONSTRUCTION”).
302-5.9 Measurement and Payment.
Revise the first paragraph of this subsection to read as follows:
302-5.9 Measurement and Payment. Asphalt concrete pavement will be paid for at the Contract Unit Price per square foot for 4” AC Pavement for Dig Out Areas as shown in the bid. The unit price bid for asphalt concrete pavement shall include full compensation for applying tack coat, supplying and placing the base course, compacting and finishing the asphalt concrete pavement, and all other related items of work, and no additional compensation will be allowed.

CITY OF VISTA
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PERMIT INSTRUCTIONS
To accompany all grading and/or building permit application(s).
In order to comply with the federal Clean Water Act, the State Water Code and City Ordinances, the City of Vista requires that property owners and/or contractors complete a Stormwater Management Permit prior to issuance of any grading and/or building permit(s). The purpose of a Stormwater Management Permit is to document Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be implemented to prevent pollutants (including sediment) from entering stormwater conveyances and receiving waters. The Stormwater Management Permit becomes a part of the grading and/or building permit(s) and is subject to enforcement by City of Vista Inspectors and others. Stormwater Management Permits include the elements described in the following sections:
SECTION 1: REQUIRED INFORMATION – This section is used to provide the City with basic information necessary to evaluate and prioritize project activities. Each of the items in this section must be completed, except projects with less than 1 acre of disturbed area are not required to have a Waste Discharge Identification Number WDID). Grading projects with a disturbed area of greater than 1 acre must also meet additional requirements from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). Those additional requirements include filing a Notice of Intent NOI) and preparation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). Please note that watercourses and waterbodies include ephemeral drainages (i.e. those that are dry during part of the year).
SECTION 2: BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES – Best Management Practices (BMPs) must be selected and implemented to prevent erosion and construction-related materials, sediment, wastes and spills from entering stormwater conveyance system and receiving waters.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the property owner and/or the contractor to determine the types of BMPs that will be used, as well as the levels of application necessary to comply with the City of Vista’s Stormwater and Grading Ordinances. Failure to prevent soil erosion and discharges of sediment and other pollutants from construction sites is subject to enforcement by the City, RWQCB or others.
At a minimum, the City requires that the BMPs designated as required in Table 1 (attached) be installed and maintained for all construction projects, as applicable. Additional BMPs listed in Table 1 may also be required in correlation to a project’s scope, potential for discharges and proximity to a watercourse or other receiving waters. The property owner and/or contractor must complete Table 2 (attached) indicating which BMPs will be used.
SECTION 3: CERTIFICATION – The property owner and/or contractor must sign this section certifying that they understand the City of Vista’s minimum requirements for stormwater management of construction activities and will implement, monitor and maintain the selected BMPs to ensure their effectiveness.
BMP manuals can be found at the City of Vista’s permit counter. These manuals include all of the referenced BMPs listed in Table 1 from the Caltrans Storm Water Quality Handbooks and the California Stormwater BMP Handbooks.
The entire manuals may also be ordered directly from the following sources:

Are there any watercourses or waterbodies within 50 feet of the limits of soil disturbance? YES NO Does the project site have or propose slopes higher than 25 feet or steeper than 1:1? YES NO Does the soil type have high erosion potential (fine grain soil like sand, silt, fine disintegrated granite)? YES NO SECTION 2 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The goal of stormwater management planning is to reduce pollution to the maximum extent practicable by implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs). There are five categories of BMPs: 1) Erosion control practices, and; 2) Velocity reduction, and; 3) Sediment control practices, and; 4) Offsite sediment tracking control, and; 5) General site and; materials management. BMPs from each of the five categories must be used together as a system in order to prevent erosion, sediment, waste, spills, and residues from leaving the site. When properly implemented, monitored and maintained, BMPs will function to prevent pollutants (including sediment) from leaving the site. It is the responsibility of the property owner and the contractor to determine the types of BMPs that will be used, as well as the levels of application necessary to comply with the City of Vista’s Stormwater and Grading Ordinances.
Best Management Practice Table
Table 1 (attached) must be used to select those BMPs that will be used to prevent stormwater pollution. At a minimum, the City requires that the BMPs designated as required in Table 1, be installed on all construction projects. However, some BMPs may not be applicable to every project. For example, if storm drain inlets are not present, then Storm Drain Inlet Protection (BMP SC10) would not be applicable. Table 2 attached) must be completed by the project proponent to indicate which BMPs will be used.
Grading and/or Building Plan(s) Best Management Practice Checklist The following applicable information shall be shown on the grading, building and/or erosion control plans:
Project boundaries
