City of Pleasanton Legislative Platform 2016 eoo would have to assume a sequence of work that might occur under one construction scenario but not another. Public agencies,engineers and architects simply do not have the direct control over the day-to-day construction, let alone the expertise,to perform this function. Ultimately,the success or failure of a SWPPP lies with the general contractor carrying out the plan. If the legislature statutorily shifts the development and liability of the SWPPP to the public agency, or to a design professional or architect,it will create confusion and conflict within the public works process. SB 1170 will only further disconnect the entity responsible for the development of the SWPPP from the entity that performs the work related to the SWPPP.This is akin to asking the public agency or design professional to separately plan and contract for the security of the general contractor's equipment on the job site,the number of portable restrooms needed or any other function that is intimately connected to the performance and sequence of a construction project. For the aforementioned reasons,we must respectfully oppose SB 1170 as currently drafted. Please do not hesitate to contact any of the signees below if you have any questions about our position.
