Subject:Technical Contract with Bown and Caldwell for $120,000 from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Water Quality Control Boards. The permits require municipalities to eliminate all pollutants
from entering the municipal storm drain system.
The Contra Costa Clean Water Program (Program) is made up of representatives of each of
the nineteen (19) cities, the County, and the Flood Control District. One representative of
each municipality participates on the Management Committee, the Program’s decision
making body. The Management Committee has directed that important requirements of the
Joint Municipal NPDES Permits, such as stormwater monitoring, conducting special studies
and watershed assessments, be performed by the Program. Technical and project
management services provided by Brown and Caldwell are required to keep the Program in
compliance.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the consulting services agreement with Brown and Caldwell is not approved, then all
municipalities may be in non-compliance with the Joint Municipal NPDES permits issued
by the San Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Boards.
Potentially, fines totaling $10,000 per day and $10 per gallon of stormwater discharge for all
affected entities could be imposed.
