RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Larry Walker Associates, Incorporated, a California Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $675,000, to provide professional stormwater quality services for a variety of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit requirements for the Contra Costa County Watershed Program, for the period April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2023, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project is funded by Stormwater Utility Assessment Funds (100%).

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Watershed Program (CWP) is responsible for implementing The San Francisco Bay Regional Water Control Board Municipal Stormwater Permit (MRP) under the NPDES Permit No. CAS612008, as amended (Permit), on behalf of Contra Costa County (County) and the County Flood Control and Water Conservation District.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Permit requires municipalities to reduce pollutants in the stormwater flowing through its drainage systems and waterways.

CWP requires an on-call professional services contract for the provision of professional technical support and coordination services for a variety of NPDES Permit requirements in support of meeting stormwater quality requirements of the Permit and additional County initiatives.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the approval of this contract by the Board of Supervisors, the County will be unable to meet its requirements under the MRP and the NPDES Permit.
