SCOPE OF SERVICES
Included in this Section is a list of possible service scopes which could be assigned to CGRME.
1) WQMP Reviews
Based on a discussion with City staff it is understood that electronic copies of the WQMP submittals will be provided to
the consultant. The reviews will need to be completed using electronic plan check software similar to Blue Beam or
another method so that pdf edits can be provided.
Plan checks are reviewed based on an agreed format and approach with City staff. Discussion will include approved
BMPs,City-specific requirements and common conditions of approval. These details will be agreed on before an initial
submittal review.
CGRME's approach to WQMP reviews starts with a Pre-Submittal letter. This letter is project specific but is based on a
template letter. This Pre-Submittal letter is provided to the project proponent/engineer before the first PWQMP and
FWQMP are submitted. The Pre-Submittal letter provides a section-by-section description of what the City will require
for the WQMP. This letter provides the basis for the applicant's submittal and is the starting point for the plan check.
With each submittal,the items on the review letter should reduce
Typical turn-around time for reviews is two weeks for both PWQMP and FWQMP reviews.

3.0 Fin al WQMP General Services and Rea uiremenIs and Res pan sib ilities
Consultant services for this phase of work,shall include but not be limited to,the following items:
• Consultant shall prepare and maintain a "Schedule of Performance"to include realistic periods for initial
reviews,final design review,and submittal of conditions of approval.
• Consultant shall be available to answer questions regarding the project scope,documents,milestones,plans,
specifications, etc. through various methods including meetings, telephone calls, e-mails, andlor written
correspondence.
Other Services:WQMP Training—In-House Staff
CGRME Staff can also provide WQMP Construction Inspection training to the Menifee staff. It is recommended to have
three inspection visits to a site including:
• At beginning of Project,within first few weeks of construction:Introductions and WQMP review
• Mid Construction Inspection: review of on-going construction. Usually based on on-going discussions with
contractor. Also discuss probable final inspection and remaining steps.
• Final Inspection: Confine all the BMPs have been installed. Work on final paperwork with contractor and
owner.
• Provide Project acceptance documentation
Due to the distance and,typically,last minute calls for inspections,CGRME recommends training in-house City staff for
this requirement.
1) Annual WQMP Inspections
As is required in the MS4 Permit,constructed WQMP sites,need to have inspections on a scheduled basis. At this time,
a site needs an"annual'inspection once every three years. A log will be prepared and the inspections completed will
be included.
Fees are on an hourly basis dependent on the number of sites inspected. Efforts are made to minimize expenses for
this task(combine in one day,sequence the locations,etc.). A four-hour minimum would be required. Travel time would
be charged for travel between the inspection sites.
Depending on the scheduling requirements, a sub-consultant may be used for this scope; either Cynthia Gabaldon or
Miguel Puente could be assigned to this task.
2) CommercialllndustrialInspections
The key to compliance with this NPDES Permit requirement is organization and efficient staff.CGRME has access to a
team who are Qualified Industrial SWPPP Practitioners (QISPs). The approach to the inspections would require a
meeting with the City,review of the available inventory and then analysis of the priorities.
A subcontractor,Lynn Merrill and Associates,will need to be used for this scope of work. The Merrill team completes the
task on a full-time schedule,meaning that the inspections are scheduled in the most efficient manner as possible The
Subcontractor description and resumes are included as an attachment to this proposal. This team has completed

thousands of industriallcommercial inspections As a result, we have learned to present ourselves to the business
owners as'teaching inspectors". Our goal is to gain compliance,not to penalize
The team has inspection options concerning documentation. Electronic inspection capture is available. Paper
inspections can also be done if the City does not have the capability to utilize the electronic inspections. We highly
recommend bundled inspections,meaning planning multiple inspections in one area. This is the most efficient method.
3) Regional NPDES Meeting Representation
CGRME can represent the City at Regional NPDES meetings,primarily the Regional TMDL meetings. These meetings
are typically once a month in either Lake Elsinore or Riverside. Cynthia can provide a post meeting summary of the
actions and will notify City staff of specific needs or required tasks as part of the TMDL implementation.
4) Assistance with Permittee Meetings
Assist in-house staff with attendance at the Permit required Pennittee meetings located at Riverside County Rood
Control District This scope is expected to include providing support to understanding meeting discussions and
reviewing meeting notes. Cynthia will discuss attendance needs with the assigned staff and review the meeting notes
taken.
5) Annual Report Assistance
As part of the MS4 Permit requirements an Annual Report submittal is required each year. CGRME can provide staffing
assistance concerning streamlining the annual report process. This would include reviewing City Program procedures
and providing spreadsheets and documentation methods to be used throughout the year. Annual Reporting analysis
and documentation usually occurs August through September of each year. Currently the City submits data using the
Riverside County NPDES Program template.It is probable that with the next revised MS4 Permit,the annual reporting
will be submitted on-line. The time spent on the Annual Report is dependent on City documentation. If the City is
organized and well-prepared,the Riverside County NPDES Program forms typically require 16 to 24 hours to prepare. If
there is research or document preparation required,that time would be dependent on the scope. Ms.Gabaldon would
be the staff for this task.
6) Additional Tasks
A range of additional tasks may be included in the future.These may include staff training,assisting with task delegation
to existing City staff,review and development of City Local Implementation Plan(LIP),review of quality assessment and
control procedures, and tracking needs. Development of the specific tasks will be on an as-requested basis. No
specifics are included in this proposal.
It is recommended that a schedule be prepared to review the City's LIP,current processes and listen to ideas to make
the LIP and the implementation more streamlined and userfriendly. A schedule can be prepared to review the sections
of the LIP,possibly on a monthly basis, so that the workload is not overwhelming for City staff. This will provide the
current NPDES staff an opportunity to understand and fine-tune the City-specific program.

Project Schedule
When tasks are assigned, execution will be completed at a 'full-time" capacity. Task specific schedules will be
discussed on a case- by-case basis. At that time any clarifications and concerns will be presented and schedule
adjustments agreed upon.
Miguel Puente is available for specific inspection tasks;his schedule allows for Friday and Saturday field work
FEES
CGRME has based these fees on previous experience. Typical annual fees for the WQMP scope of work has historically
been approximately$20,000 per year. This total is a function of the number of the WQMPs reviewed. Total inspection
fees are a function of the number of locations visited.Depending on the needs of the City and the total scope of services
requested,additional fees may be necessary.
Personnel Charges
The charge for all on-call and special projects required in the performance of the Scope of Service,including office,field
and travel time,will be approximately at the Unit Price Hourly rates set forth below for the labor classifications indicated
below:
Labor Classification Hourly Rate
Senior Project EngineedManager $135
Staff Scientist(Engineer $105
Senior Inspector $90
Staff Inspector $85
Travel time and mileage will be charged for meetings and deliveries. These rates are to be used for assignments,
analysis and deliverables otherthan the WQMP plan checks and the industrial/commercial inspections.
Vehicle and NN lea ge
The mileage charge for personal autos will be the then current mileage rate established by the Internal Revenue Service
(which is$.58 per mile in 2019).
