Subject:EXECUTE Contract Amendment with O'Rorke, Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to obtain a Joint Municipal
NPDES permit from the San Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional 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 is made up of representatives of each of the
nineteen (19) cities, the County, and the Flood Control District. One of the most
important requirements of the Joint Municipal NPDES permit is to implement an
effective Public Education and Industrial Outreach Program. The education program is a
long-term commitment to modify social behavior to reduce pollution to the San Francisco
Bay/San Joaquin Delta.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Direct consequence if the contract amendment with O'Rorke, Inc. is not approved is
unknown, however, given that public education is a key component of the NPDES
permits issued and every opportunity to reach the public can have a positive impact, not
approving the contract amendment could mean failing to reach members of the general
public with important information.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
