DATE: January 10, 2017
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM:
Christopher L. Foss, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Agreement with Geosyntec Consultants for Assistance with Green
Infrastructure Planning and Stormwater Resource Plan Evaluation
Prepared by: Shannan Young, Environmental Coordinator
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider approval of a an Agreement with Geosyntec Consultants
to assist Staff with the conceptual development of the Green Infrastructure Work plan as
described in the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit provisions, including providing
preliminary green infrastructure project identification and budget analysis. In addition,
Geosyntec Consultants will assist the City in evaluating the benefits of developing a
stormwater resource plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving the Consultant Services Agreement with Geosyntec
Consultants for Assistance with Green Infrastructure Planning and Stormwater
Resource Plan Evaluation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds are available in the Environmental Services Program budget for Fiscal
Year 2016-17.
DESCRIPTION:
The reissued Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP), of which the City of Dublin
is a co-permittee, went into effect on January 1, 2016. The MRP includes a new
requirement for each permittee to prepare a Green Infrastructure Plan that
demonstrates it can meet targets for the amount of impervious surfaces to be retrofitted
with green infrastructure by 2020, 2030, and 2040, in accordance with mercury and
polychlorinated biphenyls load reduction requirements in Provisions C.11 and C.12 of
the MRP. Green infrastructure allows for the management of stormwater using
vegetation, soils, cisterns, and natural processes. At the citywide level, green
infrastructure refers to the patchwork of natural areas that provides flood protection,
cleaner water, and other benefits. At the neighborhood or site level, green infrastructure
Page 2 of 2
refers to stormwater management systems that mimic nature by soaking up and storing
water (also referred to as low impact development, or LID).
Green Infrastructure Plans are intended to:
Set goals for reducing, over the long term, adverse water quality impacts of
urbanization on receiving waters; and
Serve as an implementation guide to provide reasonable assurance that pollutant
load allocations in MRP Provision C.11 and C.12 will be met.
The green infrastructure planning process will account for:
Past projects, as indicated in the MRP;
Planned and potential projects required to include green infrastructure (private
development and capital improvements); and
Identification of additional projects for which Green Infrastructure may be required
in order to meet impervious surface area retrofit targets.
By June 30, 2017, a Green Infrastructure Framework for completing the City of Dublin’s
Green Infrastructure Work Plan must be approved by City Council. The Green
Infrastructure Work Plan must be completed by June 30, 2019. Geosyntec Consul tants
will assist the City as it begins the Green Infrastructure planning process.
Separately but related, California Water Code section 10560 requires the development
of a Stormwater Resource Plan and compliance with the provisions in the section to
receive grant funds from any bond act approved by the voters after January 1, 2014 for
stormwater and dry weather runoff capture projects. Geosyntec Consultants will
provide technical assistance to conduct an evaluation into whether it would be beneficial
for the City to complete a Stormwater Resource Plan or functionally equivalent
document to better position the City for grant funding opportunities to implement
projects which will help meet Green Infrastructure requirements.
Staff completed a Request for Proposal (RFP) process in the months of November and
December, 2016 to hire a consultant to assist with Green Infrastructure planning and a
Stormwater Resource Plan evaluation. Six responses to the RFP were received. Staff
interviewed the two most qualified firms, based on recent work projects, experience with
the MRP Green Infrastructure requirements, and cost proposals. Geosyntec
Consultants is the consultant selected as a result of that process with a not -to-exceed
budget of $85,000 over the contract term ending August 31, 2017.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A copy of the Staff Report was sent to Geosyntec Consultants.

Section 4. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. Before beginning any work under this
Agreement, Consultant, at its own cost and expense, shall procure “occurrence coverage”
insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property that may arise from or in
connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the Consultant and its agents,
representatives, employees, and subcontractors. Consultant shall provide proof satisfactory to
City of such insurance that meets the requirements of this section and under forms of insurance
satisfactory in all respects to the City. Consultant shall maintain the insurance policies required
by this section throughout the term of this Agreement. The cost of such insurance shall be
included in the Consultant’s bid. Consultant shall not allow any subcontractor to commence
work on any subcontract until Consultant has obtained all insurance required herein for the
subcontractor(s) and provided evidence thereof to City. Verification of the required insurance
shall be submitted and made part of this Agreement prior to execution.
It shall be a requirement under this Agreement that any available insurance proceeds broader
than or in excess of the specified minimum insurance coverage requirements and/or limits shall
be available to City as an additional insured. Furthermore, the requirements for coverage and
limits shall be (1) the minimum coverage and limits specified in this Agreement; or (2) the
broader coverage and maximum limits of coverage of any insurance policy or proceeds
available to the named insured; whichever is greater. The additional insured coverage under
the Consultant’s policy shall be “primary and non-contributory” and will not seek contribution
from City’s insurance or self-insurance and shall be at least as broad as CG 20 01 04 12. In the
event Consultant fails to maintain coverage as required by this Agreement, City at its sole
discretion may purchase the coverage required and the cost will be paid by Consultant. Failure
to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of right to exercise later. Each insurance
policy shall include an endorsement providing that it shall not be cancelled, changed, or allowed
to lapse without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to City of such cancellation, change,
or lapse.
4.1 Workers’ Compensation. Consultant shall, at its sole cost and expense,
maintain Statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability
Insurance for any and all persons employed directly or indirectly by Consultant.
The Statutory Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Employer’s Liability
Insurance shall be provided with limits of not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS
($1,000,000.00) per accident. In the alternative, Consultant may rely on a self-
insurance program to meet those requirements, but only if the program of self-
insurance complies fully with the provisions of the California Labor Code.
Determination of whether a self-insurance program meets the standards of the
Labor Code shall be solely in the discretion of the Contract Administrator. The
insurer, if insurance is provided, or the Consultant, if a program of self-insurance
is provided, shall waive all rights of subrogation against the City and its officers,
officials, employees, and volunteers for loss arising from work performed under
this Agreement.
An endorsement shall state that coverage shall not be canceled except after
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, has
7
been given to the City. Consultant shall notify City within 14 days of notification
from Consultant’s insurer if such coverage is suspended, voided or reduced in
coverage or in limits.

Agreement. If a Commercial General Liability Insurance or an Automobile
Liability form or other form with a general aggregate limit is used, either
the general aggregate limit shall apply separately to the work to be
performed under this Agreement or the general aggregate limit shall be at
least twice the required occurrence limit. Such coverage shall include but
shall not be limited to, protection against claims arising from bodily and
personal injury, including death resulting therefrom, and damage to
property resulting from activities contemplated under this Agreement,
including the use of owned and non-owned automobiles.
4.2.2 Minimum scope of coverage. Commercial general coverage shall be at

Code 1 (“any auto”).

insurance coverage or added as an endorsement to the policy:
a. City and its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be
covered as additional insureds with respect to each of the
following: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf
of Consultant, including the insured’s general supervision of
Consultant; products and completed operations of Consultant;
premises owned, occupied, or used by Consultant; and
automobiles owned, leased, or used by the Consultant. The
coverage shall contain no special limitations on the scope of
protection afforded to City or its officers, employees, agents, or
volunteers.

and not on a claims-made basis.
8

with respect to the City and its officers, officials, employees and
volunteers, and that no insurance or self-insurance maintained by

of the policy shall not affect coverage provided to CITY and its
officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.

except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice by certified mail,
return receipt requested, has been given to the City. Consultant
shall notify City within 14 days of notification from Consultant’s
insurer if such coverage is suspended, voided or reduced in
coverage or in limits.
4.3 Professional Liability Insurance. Consultant, at its own cost and expense,
shall maintain for the period covered by this Agreement professional liability
insurance for licensed professionals performing work pursuant to this Agreement
in an amount not less than ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000) covering the
licensed professionals’ errors and omissions.
4.3.1 Any deductible or self-insured retention shall not exceed $250,000 per

precedes the date of this Agreement, Consultant must provide
9
extended reporting coverage for a minimum of five years after

right to exercise, at the Consultant’s sole cost and expense, any
extended reporting provisions of the policy, if the Consultant

the City prior to the commencement of any work under this

certificates and endorsements for each insurance policy are to be signed
by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. The
City reserves the right to require complete, certified copies of all required
insurance policies and endorsements. Failure to exercise this right shall
not constitute a waiver of right to exercise later.

their subcontract the same requirements and provisions of this
Agreement including the Indemnification and Insurance requirements to
the extent they apply to the scope of the Subcontractor’s work.

insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be
endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a

written contract or agreement) before City’s own insurance or self -
insurance shall be called upon to protect City as a named insured.
4.4.7 Notice of Reduction in Coverage. In the event that any coverage
required by this section is reduced, limited, or materially affected in any
other manner, Consultant shall provide written notice to City at
Consultant’s earliest possible opportunity and in no case later than five
days after Consultant is notified of the change in coverage.
4.5 Remedies. In addition to any other remedies City may have if Consultant fails to
provide or maintain any insurance policies or policy endorsements to the extent
and within the time herein required, City may, at its sole option exercise any of

Obtain such insurance and deduct and retain the amount of the premiums for
such insurance from any sums due under the Agreement;
Order Consultant to stop work under this Agreement or withhold any payment
that becomes due to Consultant hereunder, or both stop work and withhold

and City Councilmembers, officers, agents and employees against any and all suits, claims or
actions arising out of any injury to persons or property, including death, that may occur, or that
may be alleged to have occurred, in the course of the performance of this Agreement by a
negligent act or omission or wrongful misconduct of the Consultant or its employees,
subcontractors or agents. Consultant further agrees to defend any and all such actions, suits or
claims and pay all charges of attorneys and all other costs and expenses arising therefrom or
incurred in connection therewith; and if any judgment be rendered against the City or any of the
other individuals enumerated above in any such action, Consultant shall, at its expense, satisfy

Exhibit A
SCOPE OF SERVICES – City of Dublin Green Infrastructure/ Stormwater Resource
Plan
Task 1 – Kick-off Meeting
As part of Task 1, Geosyntec will conduct a kick-off meeting with the City’s Project
Manager to discuss: 1) the goals of the project; 2) proposed methodology to complete
the scope; and 3) proposed workflow and schedule. The objectives for the meeting will
be to obtain an understanding of the project goals, as well as the available data related
to past, current, and planned development projects and any efforts conducted by the
City which may contribute to the GI planning effort. Geosyntec will prepare a meeting
agenda and handouts for discussion prior to the meeting.
Deliverables: Kick-off meeting with meeting agenda and handouts.
Task 2 – Develop GI Analyses Methodology and Data Needs Memorandum
Following the discussion with the City regarding data availability and analyses
methodologies in the kick-off meeting, Geosyntec will develop a memorandum to
describe the analyses methodologies that will be used to:
1. Estimate the total impervious area needed to meet the City’s portion of the load
reductions required by the MRP using GI (e.g., 0.7 grams per year by 2020 and
18 grams per year by 2040 for PCBs);
2. Identify existing public and private development projects (MRP 1.0 C.3 projects),
current public and private development projects (MRP 2.0 C.3 projects), and
potential future private development projects (2020 – 2040);
3. Estimate the public impervious retrofit area needed to meet the City’s portion of
the PCBs and mercury load reductions, if needed based on the C.3 project
analysis; and
4. Identify potential public parcel-based and regional project locations.
The methodology to identify the public impervious area targets (#3) and potential GI
retrofit locations is anticipated to entail a combination of GIS analyses and load
reduction calculation.
Public Impervious Area Targets for Retrofit or Redevelopment
During the kick-off meeting, Geosyntec will discuss with the City how best to incorporate
the spreadsheet tool developed for ACCWP member agencies (distributed in August
2016) to quantify the area of impervious surface that must receive GI stormwater
treatment to meet the TMDL wasteload allocations in the MRP. The method for
establishing public impervious area targets is proposed to entail identification of two
estimates of retrofit and/or redevelopment area:
1. Approximating the total area needed to be redeve loped or retrofit to meet the
load reduction targets for years 2020 and 2040 by land use category (i.e., 28
acres of Old Urban area would meet the City’s PCBs-related GI requirement for
2020 and 681 acres would be required by 2040 per the spreadsheet tool default
inputs).
2. Identifying the public and private parcels or areas that could feasibly be retrofitted
or redeveloped by 2020, 2030, and 2040.
Identifying the area needed from a load-reduction perspective can be answered by
utilizing the ACCWP GI Implementation Tool.
Any approach will entail identification of all C.3 projects that are currently or will be
implemented in the City and an estimation of the extent to which C.3 projects could be
implemented by 2040. Geosyntec will discuss with the City the best approach to
understand what data are available to identify specific parcels or areas that could be
subject to C.3 requirements during the kick-off meeting. Once the load reduction
associated with the C.3 projects has been calculated, the difference bet ween the
required load reduction and the C.3 load reduction can be used to calculate the required
retrofit area.
The total area feasibly retrofitted or redeveloped, from a total available area and cost
perspective, will be discussed with the City during the kick-off meeting, and a method to
identify this total area will be established in the memorandum. This method may include
a cost-based analysis along with other data gathering steps. The cost -based analysis
method is anticipated to be either qualitative or on a planning level, using rough
approximations for cost/acre/year.
The methodology for this total area analysis will be discussed during the kick -off
meeting and documented in the memorandum. The analyses will be carried out as part
of Task 3.
Public Retrofit Projects and Regional Projects for MRP Term 2.0
The approach proposed to identify potential regional or public GI retrofit project
locations is anticipated to entail a detailed GIS desktop analyses used to identify
specific parcels or locations for regional facilities within the City for GI retrofit project
opportunities. ACCWP is developing an online GIS Tool that could be used to identify
and prioritize opportunities for C.3.j projects. This GIS Tool, if available in time, will be
used in combination with any other desktop analyses conducted as part of this task. At
the project kick-off meeting, Geosyntec will discuss how to best incorporate this GIS
Tool into the analysis or alternatives if the Tool is not available in time for this project.
It is anticipated that the GIS analyses will use specific characteristics of parcels to
screen for feasible project locations. Parcel data will be obtained from the City or other
publicly available sources. Geosyntec will also utilize this approach to eval uate
opportunities for installing regional controls (i.e., facilities that treat drainage from
multiple parcels), potentially in combination with existing flood control basins, if present.
The GI retrofit sites identified as potentially feasible through the GIS analysis can then
be analyzed in terms of potential for reduction of POC loads and runoff volume for the
area tributary to each potential retrofit location. The evaluation will be based on a
hydrologic budget combined with land use-based pollutant loading. Ideal locations are
those where GI control measures could be installed that can treat higher pollutant-
loading land uses, such as old industrial and old urban, as well as those that can retain
and/or treat as much runoff onsite from the target design storm as is feasible using
infiltration and evapotranspiration.
The approach to identifying public retrofit project sites and regional project sites will be
documented in the memorandum produced as part of this Task, and carried out as part
of Task 4.
Memorandum
Based on discussions with the City during the kick-off meeting, Geosyntec will
document the proposed approach to conducting the two main analyses identified (i.e.
calculating total area targets, and identifying public GI retrofit and regional project
locations) in a technical memorandum. The memorandum will be provided to the City in
draft form for review, and a conference call will be set following City review to discuss
any major questions or revisions the City may have. This memorandum will a lso be
revised as needed and incorporated into the final Project Documentation as part of Task
6. The memorandum will serve to guide the analyses conducted as part of Tasks 3 and
4.
Data Needs
An initial data needs document will be sent to the City as an attachment to the draft
Memorandum. The initial data needs will be based on the discussions with the City and
the content in the draft memorandum; however, it will be updated as needed based on
comments received from the City and changes incorporated into a final Data Needs
request.
The GIS files required to conduct the analyses are anticipated to include land use,
existing stormwater and flood control infrastructure, parcel ownership, tributary
information, and available information regarding site constraints, such as geotechnical
hazards, groundwater contamination, underground utilities, or other data. Any of this
information contained within the ACCWP GIS Tool provided is not anticipated to be
requested from the City.
Deliverables: Draft GI Analyses Methodology Memorandum, Initial Data Needs request,
Conference Call, Final Data Needs request.
Task 3 – Identify Public Impervious Area Targets for Retrofit or Redevelopment
Utilizing the data, ACCWP spreadsheet tool, and methodology documented in the GI
Analyses Methodology Memorandum, the targets for public impervious surfaces to be
retrofitted or redeveloped by 2020, 2030, and 2040, as connected to mercury and PCB
load reduction requirements in MRP Provisions C.11 and C.12 will be calculated.
The result of these analyses are anticipated to provide an estimation of the total area
needed to be retrofit or redeveloped as well as the total area feasibly retrofit or
redeveloped by the target dates. The area targets will be summarized in a table and
planning level map and shared with the City.
Deliverables: Target area calculation result table, planning level map.
Task 4 – Identify Retrofit Projects and Regional Projects
Utilizing the methodology summarized in the GI Analyses Methodology Memorandum,
ACCWP GIS Tool (if available), and data provided by the City, public and private GI
retrofit projects and potential regional project locations will be identified. Prior to
initiating the analyses and/or as part of Task 3, Geosyntec will work with the City to
identify existing, planned, or potential GI projects that should be included in the
prioritization analysis.
These identified parcels or regional facility locations will then be prioritized based on
their implementation feasibility and load reduction potential, utilizing the approach
documented in the GI Analyses Methodology Memorandum. Ideal locations are those
where GI BMPs could be installed that can retain and/or treat as much runoff onsite
from the target design storm as is feasible using infiltration and evapotranspiration. GI
BMPs should also target areas that are comprised of higher pollutant -loading land uses,
such as industrial, commercial or transportation land uses. To examine load reduction
potential, the methodology described in the GI Analyses Methodology Memorandum will
be used along with the ACCWP GIS Tool (if available). It is anticipated that this
analyses will include an estimation of the hydrologic volume potentially captured by the
proposed site (using available tributary area data) along with the potential pollutant load
from adjacent land-uses.
Geosyntec’s preliminary analysis of land use data shows that there are less than 9.8
acres of Old Industrial land uses within the City; however, there are approximately 2,058
acres of Old Urban land uses. Geosyntec will also examine locations where
opportunistic retrofits could be implemented which may not meet the target design
storm volume (due to site conditions/constraints), as allowed by the Draft Framework for
GI Plan Development, but could result in some hydrologic or water quality benefits.
The results of the prioritized analysis will be delivered to the City in a list of potentially
feasible GI project sites, as well as a planning-level map of project locations. The map
will indicate the identified site locations, the volume that could be captured based on the
hydrologic calculations conducted using available data, the land use types draining to
the site locations, and a baseline estimate of load tributary to the sites. Following
delivery, the sites will be discussed with the City to eliminate any sites that are
infeasible.
Deliverables: List and map of potential GI project locations, including baseline estimate
of tributary load.
Task 5 – Cost Analysis and Memorandum
Following delivery of the target area calculation list and map, as well as the list and map
of potential GI project locations, Geosyntec will schedule an in-person meeting or
conference call with the City of Dublin to discuss the best approach for developing a
cost estimate for implementing the GI Plan, including O&M of GI projects. At this time,
cost data needs will also be discussed and/or delivered to the City.
Geosyntec will utilize cost data provided by the City as well as available cost data
obtained from other regions that have implemented GI, including extensive data from
Los Angeles County Enhanced Watershed Management Plans, to examine costs. Cost
data requested from the City to conduct the analysis is anticipated to include
construction costs from GI projects that have been implemented, as well as O&M costs
or annual budgets, coupled with estimations of hours spent maintaining GI sites. The
City cost data will be extrapolated using cost data from other regions to estimate the
planning level costs of implementation of GI over MRP Term 2.0, as well as the time
ranges from 2020 to 2030, and 2030 to 2040.
The cost data will be documented in a short memorandum along with a summary of the
calculation approach.
Deliverables: In-person cost discussion meeting and data needs; Cost Analysis
Memorandum including estimated costs for implementation and description of
calculation approach.
Task 6 – Modification of Countywide Clean Water Program GI Details for City
Standards
Geosyntec will also meet with the City to discuss changes to the ACCWP GI Details to
meet the City Standards. This meeting could take place at the same time as the cost
meeting or could be scheduled as a subsequent conference call. Prior to the meeting,
Geosyntec will review applicable City Standards (stormwater standards as well as
additional standards identified by the City) which could affect the details. Geosyntec will
discuss with the City the changes needed for the details and will utilize CAD to make
the changes to the files. Draft CAD detail files will be submitted to the City for review
and comment. Based on feedback from the City, Final CAD detail drawings (in CAD and
pdf) will be submitted to the City. This task assumes that the City or ACCWP will
provide Geosyntec with the original CAD files that will be revised.
Deliverables: Meeting or conference call to discuss details; Draft GI Details; Final GI
Details.
Task 7 – Final Documentation
Geosyntec will compile the memoranda, tables, maps, and figures from Tasks 2 through
6 and develop documentation to summarize the project methods and findings. The
documentation will be prepared consistent with the format included in the Framework for
Green Infrastructure Plan Development (ACCWP, 2016, currently DRAFT) and
anticipated planning documents. The documentation developed as part of this scope will
be prepared with the intent of being directly utilized in the City’s Green Infrastructure
Workplan document.
Deliverables: Draft documentation summarizing the project methods, findings, and
compiled result figures and tables; final documentation summarizing the methods and
findings and compiled result figures and tables.
Task 8 – Identify Additional Needs for SWRP
As part of Task 8, Geosyntec will review plans and reports relevant to the SWRP
prepared for and provided by the City. Then, using a comparison table, the work
needed to complete the GI Plan will be compared to the water code requirements for
the SWRP to understand the additional analyses and SWRP text that will be needed. A
summary of the additional needs for the SWRP will be provided to the City of Dublin for
discussion. Based on the requirements above, they are anticipated to include but are
not limited to:
1. A more comprehensive summary of City watersheds and the water quality
priorities for those watershed (in addition to the TMDL POCs);
2. A summary of Plan consistency or integration with GI Plan and MRP
Requirements;
3. Identification of projects which could meet multiple benefits (not just reduction of
TMDL POCs), including flooding, water supply, and other environmental and
community benefits, using input from stakeholders and an expanded GIS
analysis;
4. Prioritization of projects based on a multiple benefit approach (not just reduction
of TMDL POCs);
5. Expansion on GI Plan-required implementation strategy and schedule to include
additional projects; and
6. Expansion on Education and Outreach.
An estimate of effort associated with the development of the SWRP will also be
developed and provided to the City.
Deliverables: Table comparing SWRP requirements to GI Plan requirements; Estimate
of additional effort needed to complete SWRP.
Task 9 – Analysis of Stormwater Capture Project Feasibility
For Task 9, Geosyntec will conduct a desktop analysis to examine the feasibility of
implementing stormwater capture projects in the City. These include projects that use
stormwater and urban runoff as a water supply either directly via surface storage, or
indirectly through groundwater recharge. The approach is anticipated to include an
analysis of potential stormwater supply sources, as well as an examination of possible
integration of stormwater sources to optimize yield, and a planning level investigation of
where and how to transport, treat, and store the captured stormwater. Water storage
and/or recharge locations are anticipated to be identified using a GIS-based feasibility
analysis. Parameters which affect feasibility may include but are not limited to: d rainage;
parcel ownership; geotechnical constraints; soils and geology; depth to groundwater;
transport feasibility; treatment capability; runoff quantities; environmental
considerations; community impacts; aesthetic concerns; and others.
Feasibility data will be requested and obtained from the City, the ACCWP Tool, or other
publicly available sources discussed with the City. Following receipt of data, Geosyntec
will conduct an analysis to identify feasible stormwater capture project locations in GIS.
Based on the watershed area and imperviousness obtained from available data, an
estimate of the total runoff that could be captured in the identified project locations can
be calculated. The identified locations will be displayed in a map format and the
methodology used to identify the locations (which will be similar to that developed for
Task 4), will be summarized in a memorandum.
In addition to a map of locations, Geosyntec will include a section in the memorandum
which describes example stormwater capture technology, and identify potential project
partners that could design, install, and maintain (if needed) the technology.
Deliverables: Map of potential stormwater capture locations; memorandum describing
methods, potential stormwater capture technologies, and potential project partners.
Task 10 – Project Management and Meetings
This task provides the overall management of the project. Immediately upon award of
the contract, the Geosyntec PM will develop a Project Administration Plan (PAP) based
on discussions with the City.
This task will also include conference calls and other communications that Geosyntec
has with the City that are not specifically called out in tasks above. These are
anticipated to include phone meetings that occur as needed for projec t coordination or
to discuss emerging issues that require prompt attention.
Deliverables: Project Management; Client Communication.
