its failure to comply with any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, except such Liability caused by

claim for defense and indemnity by the City, unless this time has been extended by the City. If the
Contractor fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any
other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Contractor under and by virtue of this
Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until
disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Contractor accepts or rejects the
tender of defense, whichever occurs first.

under this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees
Retirement System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of City, Contractor shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer contributions
for PERS benefits on behalf of Contractor or its employees, agents, or subcontractors, as well as for the
payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions, which would otherwise be the responsibility of
City.

EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The three specific scopes of work under this contract include: 1) Developing 5-year and annual work plans
and conducting inspections to meet MRP Provision C.3 Operations and Maintenance Verification
requirements; 2) Developing 5-year and annual works plans and conducting inspections to meet MRP
Provision C.4 business inspection requirements; and 3) Providing illicit discharge and spill response
services. Detailed descriptions of each scope of work are provided below.
A. Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit (MRP) Provision C.3 Operations and Maintenance
Verification Inspections
MRP Provision C.3 mandates that permittees conduct an operations and maintenance (O&M) verification
program to ensure stormwater treatment and hydromodification management measures (collectively,
“stormwater management measures”) remain in effective operating condition in perpetuity. Permittees must
conduct O&M verification inspections according to the following formula:
• Inspection of an average of 20%, but no less than 15% of total number of Regulated Projects per
year, such that all Regulated Projects are inspected at least once every five years.
Currently, the City has over 100 Regulated Project sites with installed stormwater management measures.
During the first contract year, the City anticipates the Contractor will conduct inspections at approximately
30 Regulated Projects. Of those inspections, approximately 50% will require a second inspection and 10-
15% will require a third inspection. As the number of Regulated Projects with installed stormwater
management measures increases, the number of required annual inspections will increase.
A Regulated Project may have only one stormwater management measure or it may have multiple
stormwater management measures. Regulated Projects may also include sites that have only full trash
capture devices installed. Regardless of the number of stormwater management measures at a particular
Regulated Project, each inspection will be billed per site inspection in lump sum. Contractor shall provide
the proposed lump sum dollar amount per inspection in their proposal, indicating how that lump sum was
determined.
The Contractor will be responsible for developing a 5-year inspection plan in the first quarter of the contract
term. The 5-year inspection plan will be reviewed and approved by the Environmental Services Division in
the Public Works Department. The Contractor will develop the plan using the information provided in the
Clean Water Program ArcGIS On-Line database, or equivalent database (CWP database) and shall be
designed to meet the requirements of the MRP. In addition, the Contractor shall be responsible for
providing to the City for review and approval an annual inspection plan, which shall be based on the 5-year
inspection plan. Development of the annual inspection plan shall include identifying current site contacts
and reviewing the CWP database to verify that project locations in the 5-year plan are up to date. The
annual inspection plan shall be provided to the Environmental Services Division by October 1 each year.
As part of conducting inspections, Contractor shall set up appointments with site location contacts at least a
few days ahead of the inspection date. The Contractor shall use the Alameda Countywide Clean Water

Program (ACCWP) Standard Stormwater Treatment BMPs Inspection Report Form (SSBIR form). The
Contractor shall be familiar with and follow the City’s Enforcement Response Plan when issuing
enforcement actions to facilities with deficiencies in any stormwater management measure. The key tasks
under this scope of services for conducting C.3 Operations and Maintenance Verification Inspections shall
include the following:
A1. First Inspections
The follow describes the first inspection process that the Contractor shall follow:
1. In most cases, the City will send a letter to site locations scheduled for inspection prior to
Contractor contact. The site location list shall be the list developed as part of the annual inspection
plan developed by the Contractor and approved by the City. Once the letter has been sent, the
Contractor shall set up appointments with location representative(s) at least a few days ahead of
the inspection date and time. The Contractor shall review site drawings and previous inspections at
the location to determine compliance history prior to going to the site.
2. Visit the site and meet with location representative. Explain the purpose for the inspection and ask
questions to verify that stormwater management measures are operating and being maintained
adequately.
3. Ask location representative for maintenance records for all stormwater management measures,
particularly underground or proprietary management measures.
4. Fill out the SSBIR forms and obtain the location representative’s signature on the form. Also
include the following on the form:
o Comments/Remarks/Requirements Section. Indicate in the “remarks” if the on-site
catch basins/area drains are labeled “no dumping flows to creek.” If not, require location
representative to install storm drain markers.
o Take pictures of potential deficiencies to provide to City staff and the location
representative.
o Determine the appropriate enforcement response timeline, following the City’s
Enforcement Response Plan, provided in Attachment A, and indicate the timeline in the
SSBIR.
5. If specific locations are not in the Clean Water Program, collect geographic information system
(GIS) mapping information for each stormwater management measure. The GIS points shall be
correlated with a site map and provided to the City for upload into its ArcGIS on-line platform.
6. Distribute appropriate BMP handouts provided by the City to location representative.
7. Contractor shall refer location representative to the City for additional questions beyond the scope
of the inspection.
8. When a location representative is NOT available for inspection, Contractor shall contact the City to
determine the action the City would like to take.
9. If it is discovered that the site owner/operator is different than the owner/operator as listed in the
annual inspection plan, notify the City of the change. If the new site owner/operator is occupying
the location, the Contractor shall provide educational materials, as needed and complete the
inspection.
10. All first inspections shall be completed no later than May 15th of each year.
11. For site locations that have stormwater management measures with potential deficiencies,
Contractor will let the location representative know about the deficiency at the end of the first
inspection. Contractor will show the location representative the deficiencies and/or concerns and

Services Agreement between July 1, 2021
City of Dublin and S2S Environmental Resource Mgmt. Exhibit A – Page 3 of 7
provide a timeline to cure the deficiency to the location representative. Contractor shall follow the
City’s Enforcement Response Plan when determining the compliance schedule.
Contractor shall take pictures of any potential problem areas, document number of pictures taken for a site
and note that on the SSBIR form and/or site map. A copy of the SSBIR and accompanying photographs
shall be provided by the Contractor to the location representative within 3 business days following the
inspection. As necessary and as outlined in the City’s Enforcement Response Plan, the Contractor shall be
responsible for writing warning letters, Notice of Violations, or other letters to the location representative
outlining violations deficiencies, along with appropriate guidance to address the violations. Contractor shall
notify the City by the 3rd business day of the week following the inspection of all locations that require a
reinspection.
A2. Reinspections of Stormwater Management Measures
The follow describes the re-inspection process that the Contractor shall follow:
1. Contractor shall email the City weekly (within 3 business days of the week following the inspection)
a “reinspection spreadsheet” list of all site locations that require a reinspection.
2. The City will inform the Contractor within 3 business days following the submittal of “re-inspection
Spreadsheet (see reporting below)” if the reinspection will be conducted by the City. In most cases,
the Contractor will be expected to perform the reinspection. If the inspection is determined to be
done by the Contractor, Contractor shall perform the re-inspections within the appropriate
timeframe (generally within 30 business days of the previous inspection as indicated in the City of
Dublin’s Enforcement Response Plan).
3. At the reinspection, Contractor shall complete a new SSBIR form and indicate if the appropriate
measures have been taken to remedy the deficiencies in the stormwater management measures.
Contractor shall take pictures of the areas that were a problem at initial inspection, and email them
to the City with the next weekly report to validate that the issue has been remedied. If the City
indicates that the deficiencies have been addressed, then the site inspection is considered
complete. If a second reinspection is required due to serious deficiencies, Contractor shall notify
City staff immediately, and work with City staff to determine what action needs to be taken.
B. Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit Provision C.4 Business Inspections
MRP Provision C.4 requires permittees to conduct inspections at all industrial and commercial facilities that
could reasonably be considered to cause or contribute to stormwater pollution if proper best management
practices are not implemented. The City anticipates that the selected Contractor will be required to conduct
a total of 120 to 150 first inspections on a yearly basis. Out of these, it is expected that approximately 10 -
15% will require a second inspection and approximately 5% will require a third inspection.
The Contractor will be responsible for developing a 5-year inspection plan in the first quarter of the contract
term. The 5-year inspection plan will be reviewed and approved by the Environmental Services Division in
the Public Works Department. The Contractor shall develop the plan using the general stormwater
business list included in the City’s most recent Annual Report to the Regional Water Quality Control Board
and using information provided in the City’s inspection database. The 5-year plan shall be designed to
meet the requirements of the MRP. The Contractor shall include in the 5-Year inspection plan details
regarding which businesses are required to file a Notice of Intent under the Industrial General NPDES

Permit with the State Water Resources Control Board and include compliance status with that State
requirement. The Contractor shall use the State Stormwater Multiple Application and Report Tracking
System to verify compliance.
In addition, the Contractor shall be responsible for providing to the City for review and approval an annual
inspection plan, which shall be based on the 5-year inspection plan. Development of the annual inspection
plan shall include identifying current site contacts and reviewing the new business list provided by the City
to the Contractor to verify the business list is up to date. The contractor shall review the new business list
to determine which businesses may cause or contribute to stormwater pollution and therefore should be
added to the annual inspection plan for the year. As part of the developing the annual inspection plan, the
Contractor shall verify compliance with the State Industrial Permit for businesses included in the annual
inspection plan. The new business list will be provided to the Contractor by August 1 annually and the
Contractor shall provide the updated annual inspection plan, including new businesses, by September 1
annually. The inspection list may be modified from time-to-time in response to businesses opening/closing
or complaints.
As part of conducting inspections, Contractor shall set up appointments with businesses at least a few days
ahead of the inspection date. Each inspection will be billed on a per inspection basis, (i.e. lump sum).
Contractor shall provide their proposed lump sum dollar amount per inspection in their proposal, indicating
how that lump sum was determined.
The Contractor will be required to use the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program (ACCWP) Standard
Stormwater Facility Inspection Report Form (SSFIR form). The Contractor shall be familiar with and follow
the City’ Enforcement Response Plan in the enforcement actions issued to facilities with violations. The key
tasks under this scope of services for conducting C.4 Business Stormwater Inspections will include the
following:
B.1. First Inspections
The follow describes the first inspection process that the Contractor shall follow:
1. In most cases, the City will send a letter to businesses to be inspected prior to Contractor contact.
Once the letter has been sent, the Contractor shall set up appointments with businesses at least a
few days ahead of the inspection date and set an approximate time for the inspection. The
Contractor shall review previous inspections at the location to determine compliance history prior to
going to the site.
2. Visit the business site and meet with business representative. Explain the purpose for the
inspection and ask questions to ascertain that operational Best Management Practices are
implemented by the business to prevent stormwater pollution, and for those facilities that are also
Regulated Projects under Provision C.3, to verify that on-site stormwater management measures
are operating and being maintained adequately. The inspection shall include rooftop observations,
as safety allows. As applicable, the inspection shall also note the potential presence of
equipment/activities that contain PCBs, mercury, copper, or Styrofoam products. If such products
are discovered on-site, the Contractor shall provide information on proper use/disposal of said
materials.
3. Fill out the SSFIR forms, obtain the business representative’s signature on the form, and provide a
copy of the form to the business representative.
