SECTION 2—SCOPE OF SERVICES
A. Business Stormwater Inspections
City desires the Consultant to perform Business Stormwater Inspections for the City of Dublin as per the
Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit Order No. R2-2015-0049 (MRP). The Consultant must be
well informed about Provisions C3, C4 and C5 contained in the MRP. The Consultant will be required to
use the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program (ACCWP) Standard Stormwater Facility Inspection
Report Form (SSFIR form). The Consultant shall be familiar with and follow the City' Enforcement
Response Plan in the enforcement actions issued to facilities with violations. The key tasks under this
scope of services for conducting Business Stormwater Inspections will include the following:
A.1.1. Inspections:
1. Set up appointments with businesses at least a few days ahead of the inspection date and set an
approximate time for the inspection.
a. Visit the business site and meet with Business representative. Explain the purpose for the
inspection and ask questions to ascertain that operational Best Management Practices are
implemented by the business to prevent stormwater pollution and/or to verify that on-site
stormwater treatment measures are operating and being maintained adequately. .
b. Fill out the SSFIR forms.
i. Comments/Remarks/Requirements Section. Indicate in the "remarks" if
the on-site catch basins/area drains are labeled "no dumping flows to
creek." If not, require applicant to install storm drain markers.
ii. Priority for Re-Inspection and Enforcement sections.
c. If an active discharge is observed during the inspection, the Consultant shall take the
necessary steps to stop the discharge and immediately contact the City.
d. Consultant shall refer businesses to contact the City for additional questions beyond the
scope of the inspection.
e. When a business representative is NOT available for inspection, Consultant will perform a
visual inspection of the exterior and document observations on the SSFIR form, then drop
off or mail the unsigned 3rd copy to the business. Facility representative signature will be
signed "not available" by Consultant, and the report shall note that business was not
available for consultation.

owners/managers—there are three the City uses— (Automotive, Restaurant and General),
check box and note which were distributed to the business.
g. Sign the report as "Inspector" and have the Business manager sign the bottom of the
report. Give Business manager the back copy of the signed report(pink copy).
h. All first inspections shall be completed no later than June 15th of each year.
2. For businesses that have potential stormwater violations, Consultant will let the Business manager
know at the end of the first inspection that the Business has violation(s) that need to be addressed.
Consultant will show the Business manager all violations and/or concerns. Consultant will give
Business up to 10 business days to correct the violations (depending on the severity of issues, and
potential for material to enter the storm drain - for example, a potential rain event requires that the
re-inspection occur before the rain starts). Consultant will inform the Business manager of the
expected date of re-inspection.
Consultant will take pictures of any potential problem areas, document number of pictures taken for
a site and note that on the SSFIR form. Consultant will notify the City by the 3i'd business day of
the week following inspection of all businesses that require a re-inspection.

1. Consultant will email the City weekly (within 3 business days of the week following the inspection)
a "re-inspection spreadsheet" list of all businesses that require a re-inspection.
2. The City will inform the Consultant within 3 business days following the submittal of"re-inspection
spreadsheet" if the re-inspection will be conducted by the City or the Consultant.
3. If the inspection is determined to be done by the Consultant, it will perform the re-inspections within
the appropriate timeframe (generally within 10 business days of the previous inspection, as
indicated in the City of Dublin's Enforcement Response Plan). The list will include a description of
why a re-inspection is required, and will include pictures taken of all potential and actual violations.
At the re-inspection, Consultant will take the original SSFIR form for reference and use the form to
make comments on whether the business has made the appropriate corrections/changes.
Consultant will take pictures of the areas that were a problem at initial inspection, and email them
to the City with the next weekly report. If the Consultant feels that the business is now in
compliance and all potential and actual violations have been corrected, then the business
inspection is considered complete. If re-inspection is required due to serious violation, Consultant
will notify City staff immediately, and work with City staff to determine what action needs to be
taken.
A.2 Post Inspection Reporting to City:
1. Send weekly reports electronically to the City (by the 3rd day of the following business week),
apprising the City with the status of inspections. The weekly reports must include a summary of
