SUBJECT: APPROVE contract with O'Rorke, Inc., in the amount of$588,000 for the period November 1,

FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost is estimated to be $588,000; and, shall be funded by stormwater utility fee assessments collected by the
cities and county proportioned to their respective populations.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION AND BACKGROUND:
The United States Environmental Protection Agency issued the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES)Regulations for municipal stormwater discharges on November 16, 1990 requiring Contra Costa County,
nineteen(19)of its incorporated cities and the Contra 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-tern
commitment to modify social behavior to reduce pollution to the San Francisco Bay/San Joaquin Delta. The
recommendation of the Contra Costa Clean Water Program is to contract with O'Rorke,Inc.for the remainder of the
2008/2009 fiscal year.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the consulting services agreement with O'Rorke, Inc. 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.
