Municipal Stormwater Program Implementation Support Services

The issuing agency is seeking professional support services to implement its Municipal Stormwater Program and ensure compliance with permit requirements. The agency needs to address water quality threats through systematic inventory reviews, facility inspections, and self-verification tracking. The selected partner will help solve the problem of identifying and mitigating illicit connections and discharges while ensuring proper maintenance of stormwater facilities. The scope of work covers three primary program areas, starting with the existing development program. This program requires inventory reviews, pollutant threat assessments, inspection scheduling, facility inspections, driving patrols, and follow-up evaluations. The agency also requires immediate notification of any discovered illicit connections or discharges during these activities. For the agricultural facility inspection program, the scope includes inventory updates, inspection scheduling, and conducting inspections according to established protocols. The agency requires the same immediate notification for illicit discharges in agricultural areas, followed by corrective action evaluations. The final program area is the Self-Verification Program, which involves managing correspondences, tracking submittals, and verifying maintenance documentation. The agency requires the establishment of a tracking database for the Self-Verification Program that agency staff can access and view. This program operates on a specific timeline, requiring notices to be sent to responsible parties with an initial compliance deadline of October 31st. The agency expects the partner to follow up directly with any responsible parties who submit inadequate maintenance documentation. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for these services. Bidders must submit their responses digitally, either through email or an online submission portal.
