Prepared by: Rita Thompson, Senior Engineering Technician

Subject:Award of Professional Services Agreement to Lynn Merrill & Associates,
Inc. for NPDES Industrial, Commercial and Post Construction Inspection
Services
Recommendations
1. Approve the Professional Services Agreement with Lynn Merrill & Associates to Perform
NPDES Industrial, Commercial and Post Construction Inspection Services.
2. Authorize the City Manager or Designee to Execute the Agreement and Execute up to one
(1) Annual Renewal Option, Not to Exceed Available Budget.
Background
Stormwater discharges in the City are authorized under NPDES Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) Permit R8-2010-0033 issued by the State Santa Ana Regional Water
Quality Control Board. The MS4 Permit requires the City implement activities to eliminate and
prevent pollutants from entering the storm drain system. Among other actions, inspection of
construction, industrial, commercial, and post construction water quality facilities within its legal
jurisdiction is mandated. In 2014, a cooperative agreement with Riverside County Department
of Environmental Health for the commercial and industrial inspections was ended by Riverside
County. Through a Request for Proposal process, the City contracted with a firm to ensure it
fulfills the inspection requirements for several hundred businesses annually. That agreement is
set to expire on June 30, 2017.
Discussion
A Request for Proposal was posted on Planet Bids; three firms responded. Staff evaluation
criteria included, among other factors, consultants’ understanding of the scope of work, the
qualifications of the proposed staff, experience performing similar projects, and the
reasonableness of fee. While all the firms were qualified, they varied on the fee to be charged.
The responding firms are listed below in order of ranking based on a breakdown of the fee
schedule (Exhibit B):

received from County Service Area 152 assessment (Fund 155) or any future user fees
adopted.

and perpetual license for City to copy, use, modify, reuse, or sublicense any and all copyrights,

the prior written consent of City.
9. Consultant’s Books and Records.
a. Consultant shall maintain any and all ledgers, books of account, invoices,
vouchers, canceled checks, and other records or documents evidencing or relating to charges for

c. Any records or documents required to be maintained pursuant to this
Agreement shall be made available for inspection or audit, at any time during regular business
hours, upon written request by the City Manager, City Attorney, City Auditor or a designated
representative of these officers. Copies of such documents shall be provided to the City for
inspection at City Hall when it is practical to do so. Otherwise, unless an alternative is mutually
agreed upon, the records shall be available at Consultant’s address indicated for receipt of notices
in this Agreement.
Page 4
d. Where City has reason to believe that such records or documents may be
lost or discarded due to dissolution, disbandment or termination of Consultant’s business, City
may, by written request by any of the above-named officers, require that custody of the records
be given to the City and that the records and documents be maintained in City Hall. Access to
such records and documents shall be granted to any party authorized by Consultant, Consultant’s
representatives, or Consultant’s successor-in-interest.
10. Independent Consultant. It is understood that Consultant, in the performance of
the work and services agreed to be performed, shall act as and be an independent Consultant
and shall not act as an agent or employee of the City.
11. PERS Eligibility Indemnification. In the event that Consultant or any employee,
agent, or subcontractors of Consultant providing services under this Agreement claims or is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or the California Public Employees Retirement
System (PERS) to be eligible for enrollment in PERS as an employee of the City, Consultant shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless City for the payment of any employee and/or employer
contributions for PERS benefits on behalf of Consultant or its employees, agents, or
subcontractors, as well as for the payment of any penalties and interest on such contributions,
which would otherwise be the responsibility of City.
Notwithstanding any other federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances and
regulations to the contrary, Consultant and any of its employees, agents, and subcontractors
providing service under this Agreement shall not qualify for or become entitled to, and hereby
agree to waive any claims to, any compensation, benefit, or any incident of employment by City,
including but not limited to eligibility to enroll in PERS as an employee of City and entitlement to
any contribution to be paid by City for employer contribution and/or employee contributions for
PERS benefits.
12. Interests of Consultant. Consultant (including principals, associates and
professional employees) covenants and represents that it does not now have any investment or
interest in real property and shall not acquire any interest, direct or indirect, in the area covered
by this Agreement or any other source of income, interest in real property or investment which
would be affected in any manner or degree by the performance of Consultant’s services
hereunder. Consultant further covenants and represents that in the performance of its duties
hereunder no person having any such interest shall perform any services under this Agreement.
Consultant is not a designated employee within the meaning of the Political Reform Act
because Consultant:
a. will conduct research and arrive at conclusions with respect to his/her
rendition of information, advice, recommendation or counsel independent of the control and
direction of the City or of any City official, other than normal agreement monitoring; and
b. possesses no authority with respect to any City decision beyond rendition
of information, advice, recommendation or counsel. (FPPC Reg. 18700(a)(2).)
13. Professional Ability of Consultant. City has relied upon the professional training
and ability of Consultant to perform the services hereunder as a material inducement to enter into
this Agreement. Consultant shall therefore provide properly skilled professional and technical
personnel to perform all services under this Agreement. All work performed by Consultant under
this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet the
Page 5
standard of quality ordinarily to be expected of competent professionals in Consultant’s field of
expertise.
14. Compliance with Laws. Consultant shall use the standard of care in its profession
to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations.
15. Licenses. Consultant represents and warrants to City that it has the licenses,
permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required
of Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant represents and warrants to City that
Consultant shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term
of this Agreement, any licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required of
Consultant to practice its profession. Consultant shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business
license.
16. Indemnity. Consultant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its
officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all losses, liability,
claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action arising out of any personal injury, bodily
injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation of any federal, state, or municipal law
or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by the willful misconduct or negligent acts
or omissions of Consultant or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they
could be held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation
of Consultant shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of
law arises from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees,
agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions of Consultant or its employees, subcontractors, or agents
have contributed in no part to the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law. It is
understood that the duty of Consultant to indemnify and hold harmless includes the duty to defend
as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code. Acceptance by City of insurance
certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement does not relieve Consultant from
liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause. This indemnification and hold
harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages whether or not such insurance
policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of this Agreement, Consultant
acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and that it is a material element of
consideration.
17. Insurance Requirements.

arising out of work performed by or on behalf of the Consultant, including materials, parts
or equipment furnished in connection with such work or operations.

18. Notices. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing
and either served personally or sent prepaid, first class mail. Any such notice shall be addressed

continuing waiver of a subsequent breach of the same or any other provision under this

or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this

25. Litigation Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. If either party to this Agreement
commences any legal action against the other party arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable litigation expenses, including court costs, expert
witness fees, discovery expenses, and attorneys’ fees.
26. Mediation. The parties agree to make a good faith attempt to resolve any disputes
arising out of this Agreement through mediation prior to commencing litigation. The parties shall
mutually agree upon the mediator and share the costs of mediation equally. If the parties are
unable to agree upon a mediator, the dispute shall be submitted to JAMS or its successor in
interest. JAMS shall provide the parties with the names of five qualified mediators. Each party

nor retained any company or person, other than a bona fide employee working solely for
Consultant, to solicit or secure this Agreement. Further, Consultant warrants that it has not paid
nor has it agreed to pay any company or person, other than a bona fide employee working solely

for Consultant, any fee, commission, percentage, brokerage fee, gift or other consideration
contingent upon or resulting from the award or making of this Agreement. For breach or violation
of this warranty, City shall have the right to rescind this Agreement without liability. For the term
of this Agreement, no member, officer or employee of City, during the term of his or her service
with City, shall have any direct interest in this Agreement, or obtain any present or anticipated
material benefit arising therefrom.

employment, upgrading, demotion, transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or
termination.

Code Section 1720, et seq., and 1770, et seq., as well as California Code of Regulations, Title 8,

agents, and volunteers, free and harmless from any claim or liability arising out of any failure or
alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. The foregoing indemnity shall survive

Our firm was established on the
premise that municipal clients have the
need for cost effective, timely and
thoughtful support in a variety of
services. Over the last twelve years, we
have provided support to over 20 cities,
county and special districts within the
Riverside and San Bernardino area. We
are local, and so we understand the
local issues and concerns that cities in
the two county area are facing.

REF: RFP – Inspection Services for City of Lake Elsinore, NPDES Commercial,
Industrial and Post Construction BMP Facility Inspection Program
Dear Ms. Thompson:
Lynn Merrill and Associates, Inc., is pleased to provide this proposal to the City of Lake
Elsinore for the above referenced services. Since September 2014, our firm has provided the
requested services to your city, and have completed over 280 commercial, restaurant and
industrial inspections. We have worked closely with the City in responding and resolving the
various issues related to a successful NPDES program, as well as focused on ensuring that the
business community is aware of the requirements for preventing storm water pollution. Our
philosophy continues to be to seek compliance, not enforcement. Using this philosophy, we
work with each business to ensure their compliance with the program, even if it means that we
may need to conduct multiple visits.
Since 2004, our firm has provided a range of environmental and municipal consulting services
to over 18 cities and counties throughout southern California. Our previous works include
technical assessments and inspection programs under the MS4 permits requirements to various
municipal clients in both Riverside County and San Bernardino County and analysis of clients’
MS4 programs to develop MS4 program implementation recommendations.
We are currently under contract to perform NPDES Commercial, Restaurant and Industrial
Inspections within the cities of Grand Terrace, Loma Linda, Rialto, and the County of San
Bernardino under the San Bernardino Permit, and the cities of Lake Elsinore San Jacinto and Perris

Project Understanding
and Approach
A
City of Lake Elsinore 0
The City of Lake Elsinore currently inspects approximately 300 Commercial, Restaurants, and
Industrial businesses within the City. Over the last two-and-a-half years, our firm has provided
these inspection services under a contract awarded in August 2014. The services contemplated
in the current Request for Proposal are nearly identical to those provided by our firm since
September 2014 to the present.
The Commercial, Restaurant and Industrial Inspection Program is a requirement of the
Riverside MS4 Permit, (ORDER NO. R8-2010-0033, NPDES NO. CAS 618033) and is a key
component in both educating the business community regarding the potential pollution which
may inadvertently result from each business, as well as identifying and mitigating pollutant
discharges from individual businesses. We propose the following approach to performing the
tasks and services identified in the RFP:
•Identification of businesses which may be subject to the NPDES Inspection
programs through the City’s business license system. Typically, new and
existing businesses will identify the type of business activity through either a
description or assignment of a Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code at
the time of securing a business license to operate within the City.
•Based on the type of activity (Auto Repair, Restaurant, etc.), these businesses are
identified by the City for possible inclusion in the Inspection Program. A letter
from the City explaining the program and providing educational materials is
typically sent to the business. This is followed up by an initial field inspection to
determine the type of physical activities being performed at the business
location. This activity is usually conducted by the City’s Senior Engineer
Technician / NPDES Stormwater Coordinator; however, this function may also
be performed by the City’s NPDES Inspection Contractor.
•Once the initial assessment and primary initial inspection of the business has
been completed, and based on criteria establish to determine the priority of
inspection (high, medium or low) and an assessment of the individual business’s
potential for releasing pollutants, the business is input into the City’s web-based
system (MS4-Web/MS4 Permit Manager) for tracking and follow-up inspection.
•Based on the prioritization of each business as to high, medium or low priority, a
schedule for continuing inspections is established. High priority businesses are
scheduled for inspection once each fiscal year, medium priority businesses are
scheduled for inspection once every two years, and low priority businesses are
inspected once each permit term or five-year period, whichever occurs first.
City of Lake Elsinore 1
•The Stormwater Coordinator will then prepare a list of businesses that will be
assigned to the Inspection Contractor. This list usually consists of the name and
address of the business, the SIC and type of activity associated with the business,
and any other information needed, including history of past violations. This list
is usually in an Excel Format and is emailed to the inspection staff.
•As the current Inspection Contractor, our staff typically receives this list and will
review the list for any issues or concerns. Typically, this list may include
businesses that are home-based or no-longer active. Because of our inspector’s
familiarity with the City, those businesses that may have addresses that appear to
be home based are flagged for a desk-top map check using Google Earth,
followed up by a field check.
•A staff inspector, typically our NPDES Inspector II, will schedule to conduct
field inspections of the assigned list over the required period. The inspections
are conducted using tablet technology that we pioneered with the City.
(Previously, the City provided three-part hard copy forms to the inspector.) The
Inspector will arrive at the business address, introduce themselves to the business
owner or manager, explain the purpose of the inspection, and then conduct the
inspection appropriate to the type of business. Upon completion of the
inspection, the Inspector will debrief with the business owner or manager
regarding the findings and results of the inspection. If any corrections or
violations are identified during the inspection, these will be noted as well and a
period of time to comply will be established. Photographs of the items needing
correction or violations will be taken. Educational materials, typically provided
through the Riverside County Water Conservation and Flood Control District,
will also be provided.
•The completed inspection form for each business is placed into an assigned
Dropbox for retrieval by our Administrative Assistant in order to input the
inspection data into the City’s MS4 Web – MS4 Permit Manager. This input
usually occurs at our corporate office in Redlands, CA. A separate electronic
copy of each inspection is forwarded to the Stormwater Coordinator for their
records and filing as well.
•In the event that an issue of non-compliance is identified during the inspection,
our inspector typically will provide some general guidance as to what needs to be
done to correct the violation. Our approach is to seek compliance first, and to
use enforcement as a tool only if the business owner is willful in their non-
compliance. These items of non-compliance are reviewed by our Inspector with
City of Lake Elsinore 2
the City’s Stormwater Coordinator to develop an appropriate enforcement
strategy for each non-compliant business. This strategy is usually developed as a
consultation between the Stormwater Coordinator and the Inspector.
•Follow-up inspections are scheduled to determine if the required corrections or
violations have been resolved, based on the schedule provided during the initial
inspection. If, based on the determination of the Inspector, a good-faith effort in
compliance is underway, additional time may be provided to the business owner.
However, if no action has been undertaken, and the threat remains or has
increased, the Inspector immediately notifies the Stormwater Coordinator for
potential legal actions and follow-up. The Inspector works in coordination with
the Stormwater Coordinator and acts at the direction of the Coordinator in
additional inspections, investigations or other activities necessary to achieve
compliance.
•If, during an inspection, an illicit discharge is identified, the Inspector
immediately notifies the Stormwater Coordinator by telephone, and is authorized
to take immediate enforcement actions, such as a verbal cease and desist order to
stop and prevent further discharge. The Inspector shall notify the appropriate
response parties, such as the Fire Department or other agencies in order to
minimize the effect of such discharge and to prevent it from reaching storm
system inlets. In immediate coordinator with the Stormwater Coordinator, the
Inspector shall follow appropriate direction until the Stormwater Coordinator can
arrive on scene and assume responsibility for managing and overseeing the
response. The Inspector shall remain on scene to assist the Stormwater
Coordinator as requested.
•As part of the NPDES Inspection Program, on a quarterly basis, the Inspector
shall review the State’s SMARTS database to identify any new or updated
industrial facilities which are under the Industrial General Permit. This list will
be reviewed against the City’s inspection lists in order to confirm coverage. Our
Inspector II who will be assigned to the City has his current Qualified Industrial
Stormwater Practitioner Certification, and will be able to assist in advising
Industrial businesses which may need coverage under the GIP, as to the process
and procedure to secure this.
•We have included examples of recently completed inspection forms for the City
of Lake Elsinore in Section E.
