The Special Study included collection of DocuSign Envelope ID: 8505F0CB-9F4F-40D2-8F93-49306B867381 Ms. Kendra Mann, City of Gilroy May 5, 2022 Page 2 of 5 Y:\SS06\_Project Management\Gilroy\Gilroy FY 22-23 scope 5-5-22.docx outfall and MS4 samples during one wet weather event (March 28, 2022) to gather new information about potential bacterial sources. Eight locations within the Gilroy MS4 were targeted as part of the WY 2022 Special Study. All samples were analyzed for Fecal Indicator Bacteria (FIB; E. coli) and human genetic markers. A subset of samples (i.e., those collected in Morgan Hill and unincorporated County) was also analyzed for canine genetic markers. Under this task, EOA will develop a Technical Memorandum that describes the results of the outfall and MS4 monitoring conducted in WY 2022. The report will include maps, graphs, and tables to describe the data. New information about potential sources of bacteria as a result of the monitoring findings will be described. A Draft of the Technical Memorandum will be submitted to the Regional Partners for review. Upon receipt of comments, the Technical Memorandum will be finalized. This task also includes validation of WY 2022 monitoring data in compliance with the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) that was developed in FY 2020/21 at the request of Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) staff. The QAPP describes baseline data quality requirements to be met and outlines the procedures that will be used to ensure that data collected through the Regional Monitoring Plan meet those requirements. The QAPP requires that all monitoring data collected in receiving waters be submitted to the Regional Data Center (i.e., Moss Landing Marine Lab) for upload to the California Environmental Data Exchange Network (CEDEN). However, because all WY 2022 stations were within the MS4, no data will be submitted to CEDEN. Cost: $7,200. This cost represents approximately one half of the cost estimated to develop the Technical Memorandum and validate the data. The remaining costs will be paid through a separate contract with the County. Schedule: Draft Technical Memorandum (September 2022); Final Technical Memorandum will be submitted with the Regional TMDL Status Report (see Task 2) to the RWQCB by October 15, 2022. Task 2. Prepare FY 2021/22 Regional Total Maximum Daily Load Status Report Provision E.15.d of the Phase II Permit requires annual submittal to the RWQCB of a report describing the status of implementation of the Bacteria TMDL (i.e., TMDL Status Report). EOA will develop a Regional TMDL Status Report that describes implementation of the Bacteria TMDL and Regional Wasteload Allocation Attainment Plan (WAAP) during FY 2021/22. The report will document implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs) during FY 2021/22 and will include and/or summarize the WY 2022 Special Study Technical Memorandum. A Draft of the Regional TMDL Status Report will be submitted to the DocuSign Envelope ID: 8505F0CB-9F4F-40D2-8F93-49306B867381 Ms. Kendra Mann, City of Gilroy May 5, 2022 Page 3 of 5 Y:\SS06\_Project Management\Gilroy\Gilroy FY 22-23 scope 5-5-22.docx Regional Partners for review. Upon receipt of comments, the Regional TMDL Status Report will be finalized. Cost: $7,500. This cost is one third of the total cost estimated to prepare the report. It is assumed that Morgan Hill and the County will each contract with EOA for the same amount. Schedule: Draft Regional FY 2021/22 TMDL Status Report (September 2022); Final Regional TMDL Status Report must be submitted to the RWQCB by October 15, 2022. Task 3. Geographic Information System Services A Bacteria TMDL Geodatabase was developed in 2016 and updated to include the Gilroy jurisdictional area in 2018. The Geodatabase is useful in identifying potential sources of FIB and the likelihood that the sources will enter the MS4. The Geodatabase will be maintained in FY 2022/23 and updated with new information such as sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) reported by the State Water Resources Control Board and homeless encampments discovered by City staff. This task also includes as needed GIS services to support the City of Gilroy Stormwater Management Program. Tasks may include updates to Trash Management Area (TMA) maps, mapping of reported illicit discharges, and minor changes to the citywide storm drain layer. Cost: $5,000 (Approximately $1,500 of the total is earmarked for Bacteria TMDL Geodatabase work; the remainder for as-needed GIS services). Schedule: Updated maps from the Bacteria TMDL Geodatabase will be provided to the City or submitted with the FY 2022/23 TMDL Status Report by October 15, 2023. The schedule for other mapping products will be determined as needed. Task 4. Implement Regional Monitoring Plan (FIB Monitoring in WY 2023) For WY 2023, the Regional Monitoring Plan calls for collection of outfall and receiving water samples during ten sampling events (five wet season events and five dry season events) at designated stations with the jurisdiction of the Regional Partners. Two outfalls and four receiving water stations are located within the City of Gilroy. All samples will be analyzed for FIB (E. coli and fecal coliform). In prior years, as an optional task, samples were also analyzed for species specific genetic markers using Microbial Source Tracking (MST) techniques; however, the Regional Partners have decided not to pursue this optional approach in WY 2023. DocuSign Envelope ID: 8505F0CB-9F4F-40D2-8F93-49306B867381 Ms. Kendra Mann, City of Gilroy May 5, 2022 Page 4 of 5 Y:\SS06\_Project Management\Gilroy\Gilroy FY 22-23 scope 5-5-22.docx EOA will conduct the WY 2023 monitoring at the Gilroy stations concurrent with the Morgan Hill and County stations. Following sample collection FIB samples will be delivered, under chain-of-custody to Alpha Analytical in the City of Livermore or arrangements will be made for currier services. This scope of work includes one third of the total labor costs to conduct the monitoring program. The remainder of the labor costs will be paid by the County. This scope of work includes laboratory costs for samples collected from the two outfalls and four receiving water stations located within Gilroy. The estimated laboratory costs reflect the assumption that it will not be possible to sample the outfalls during the dry season due to lack of flow. Remaining laboratory costs associated with implementation of the Regional Monitoring Program will be paid by Morgan Hill under their contract with Alpha Analytical. All monitoring and sample analysis must be performed using California Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program (SWAMP) comparable protocols and quality assurance objectives. These protocols include collection of two field quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) samples and one laboratory QA/QC sample during each of the ten monitoring events. These include a field duplicate, a field blank, and a laboratory duplicate. This scope of work includes costs for one half of the required QA/QC samples. The other QA/QC costs will be covered by Morgan Hill. A preliminary review of each data report from Alpha will be conducted as part of this scope of work. The full data validation process and development of the WY 2023 Monitoring Report will be contracted separately in FY 2023/24. Cost: $30,740. This cost represents approximately one third of the total labor cost to implement the Regional Monitoring Plan field investigation (i.e., FIB monitoring during 10 events) in WY 2023 plus laboratory costs associated with Gilroy samples which are estimated to be $11,100 with EOA’s 10 percent markup. The remaining labor costs will be paid through a separate contract with the County. Schedule: Preparation for field monitoring will begin in November 2022. Wet season monitoring will begin after sufficient seasonal precipitation has occurred (approximately 8 cumulative inches) which is likely in January or February 2023. Dry season monitoring will begin in April 2023. Task 5. Public Outreach Support Services This task includes budget for EOA to purchase supplies that will support City public outreach efforts. City staff will inform EOA of the required supply types, quantities, and providers. All purchases will be marked up 10 percent, consistent with EOA’s 2022 Fee Schedule (attached). Cost: $2,500 DocuSign Envelope ID: 8505F0CB-9F4F-40D2-8F93-49306B867381 Ms. Kendra Mann, City of Gilroy May 5, 2022 Page 5 of 5 Y:\SS06\_Project Management\Gilroy\Gilroy FY 22-23 scope 5-5-22.docx Schedule: To be determined Task 6. Miscellaneous On-Call Services This task includes time for EOA to provide project management related to this scope of services and miscellaneous on-call tasks to assist Gilroy comply with the Phase II Permit. For example, Gilroy may wish for assistance with responses to RWQCB communications, review of the re-issued Phase II Permit (anticipated in FY 2022/23), and/or trash assessment protocols. Details of this task will be developed as needs arise. Tasks requested by Gilroy will be conducted as budget allows.
