CAUSEY CONSULTING, SOLE PROPRIETOR (2)

Exhibit A Project Scope of Work PWD 24.602 Task 1: Review of the 2019 SSMP, 2021 SSMP Audit, and 2023 O&M Program Development Summary Report The project and Task 1 will be initiated with a project kick-off meeting to allow the consulting team to meet new City management and project related staff who will be involved during the project. This meeting will also include a discussion of the City’s designated positions for compliance with the WDR as the current certified information in CIWQS appears to be outdated. Thereafter, the Fischer Compliance and Woodard & Curran collection system subject matter experts (SMEs) will undertake a review of the 2023 O&M Program Development Summary Report, the 2019 SSMP and the 2021 SSMP Audit Report and will prepare their opinions and recommendations regarding the findings, especially in light of the sewer management and staffing changes since those report completions. These findings and recommendations will be documented in a O&M Program Development Memo. These findings will also be presented to City management and staff during a separate workshop for agreement and inclusion in Tasks 2 and 3 work. Deliverables (including Draft and Final): O&M Program Development Memo Meetings (including agenda/presentation/minutes): Kickoff Meeting and OM Program Development Workshop Task 2: Prepare the 2024 SSMP Audit (Completion by January 31, 2025) Fischer Compliance will begin Task 2 work by conducting a Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI) including updating of historical performance results for both operations and spill results, drafting of the SWRCB pre-inspection questionnaire for use during the SSMP audit interviews, and evaluating the City’s spill response compliance efforts. This work will include up to eight (8) interviews with City WDR designated positions, senior management of the collection system, administration and engineering staff responsible for collection system support and sewer field personnel to assure their understanding of the WDR. City policies and procedures, including the SERP, will be evaluated to assure that the City’s SSMP provides the necessary process and procedural descriptions for compliance. Upon completion of the CEI Report, Fischer Compliance and Causey Consulting will prepare the SSMP Internal Draft Audit Report including incorporation of the evaluations from Task 1, identification of program effectiveness and corrective actions for the sewer program and any necessary revisions to the SSMP in Task 3; meet with City Public Works and project management to receive comments and changes to the draft; and then update a Council draft for informational purposes on January 7, 2025. The Council consideration will include a separate PowerPoint presentation and attendance by representatives of the project team to be available to answer questions following the Audit Presentation.
