RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) regarding the administration of and cost sharing for implementing a Coordinated Integrated Monitoring Program (CIMP) for the Marina del Rey (MdR) watershed in an amount not-to-exceed $136, 236.56 ($123,851.42 base amount plus $12,385.14 contingency).
BACKGROUND
In December 2012, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB) adopted a new countywide Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit. The MS4 permit is in effect and identifies conditions and requirements that municipalities must comply with in order to protect the area’s water resources. Permit compliance may be obtained by developing and implementing an Enhanced Watershed Management Program (EWMP) and CIMP.
In June 2013, Culver City, the County of Los Angeles, and the City of Los Angeles indicated intent to collectively prepare the EWMP and CIMP to achieve compliance with Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the MdR watershed. A cost sharing agreement for EWMP/CIMP plan development was approved by the City Council on November 12, 2013. The County of Los Angeles is identified as the lead agency and is performing all administrative and project management tasks related to EWMP/CIMP implementation with the Memorandum of Understanding that was executed in December 23, 2013.
In June 2014, the MdR watershed group submitted the draft CIMP to the LARWQCB for review and it was approved on May 23, 2016.
In October 2016, City Council approved the MOA to implement the CIMP for three-year period from 2016 to 2019.
DISCUSSION
On January 10, 2018, the MdR watershed group submitted a revised draft CIMP to the LARWQCB for review and it was approved on February 19, 2019.
The CIMP includes sample collection, in-situ measurements, laboratory analyses, source investigations and water quality data reporting (including annual reports) over a five-year period beginning July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2024.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
The estimated total cost to implement the CIMP for Marina del Rey for a five-year period is $5,474,098.95. The Los Angeles County Flood Control District pays for 5% and then the remainder is split among the remaining jurisdictions according to their drainage area. The estimated cost for Culver City is $123,851.42 and will be invoiced as follow:
