INTRODUCTION
The City of Glendale (City) is the sixth largest city in Arizona consisting of
approximately 66 square miles. Glendale is one of the five major cities comprising
the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, Arizona’s economic, political and population
center. The City was founded in 1892 and incorporated in 1910. Glendale’s
population is over 250,000.

The City of Glendale Water Services Department is dedicated to improving the lives
of the people they serve. The City is committed to excellence and has pride in the
service provided and is looking for vendors who share that commitment.

The City is soliciting Requests for Proposals from qualified Contractors for wet
weather monitoring and stormwater sampling services for outfalls designated by
the City.

2.
OBJECTIVES
This project aims to monitor stormwater quality, measure compliance with
regulatory requirements, and collect data to improve stormwater management
practices. Contractor(s) shall provide stormwater quality data monitoring for the
City of Glendale Water Services Department. Contractor shall comply with the
requirements specified in 40 CFR 122.26, incorporated by reference in A.A.C. R18-
9-A905. The contractor will also comply with the requirements of the City’s current
MS4 permit, which is posted at:
https://www.glendaleaz.com/cms/one.aspx?portalId=15209085&pageId=153300
07 under the Stormwater Tab.

3.
SCOPE OF WORK
Contractor shall:
a.
Perform work at five permit-specified urban monitoring stations in the City
of Glendale.
b.
Mobilize quickly to capture stormwater samples during pre-identified wet
weather events.
c.
Collect rainfall, runoff and stormwater quality data to characterize
stormwater quality for qualifying storm events (0.2 inches or more and
resulting in a discharge). Stormwater samples shall be collected from
qualifying storm events and at least 72 hours after a previous qualifying
storm event.
d.
Collect and analyze samples in accordance with EPA-approved methods
twice annually for each of the sites. One sample shall be collected from each
location during the winter months (November 1 - May 31) and one sample
shall be collected from each location during the summer months (June 1 -
October 31).
e.
Conduct all sampling over the first three hours of the discharge, or for the
entire discharge period if the discharge lasts less than three hours.
f.
Be responsible for setting up the sample bottles at the station prior to a rain
event.

4
rev. 5.8.2024

g.
Collect grab (discrete) samples at the site by sampling personnel as soon as
possible after the beginning of the storm event. To the extent practical, the
sample shall include the “first flush” (first 30 minutes of storm event
discharge) of a qualifying storm event. Automatic samplers already installed
at the sites will collect the flow-proportional composite samples. Field
analyses of stormwater samples include pH, temperature, flow rate, specific
conductance, and dissolved oxygen.
h.
Immediately notify City Representative if any monitoring station is in
disrepair or conditions (i.e., excessive vegetation) impede the sampler’s
ability to collect the samples.
i.
Notify City Representative if adverse climatic conditions prohibit the
collection of samples (i.e., local flooding, electrical storms, etc.).
j.
Transport samples to a Glendale-contracted laboratory that will analyze and
report the concentrations of pollutants discharged from the drainage basin.
Contractor will follow all laboratory protocol for sampling of the analytes
listed in the MS4 permit.

3.1
QUALITY CONTROL Quality assurance and quality control for stormwater
samples will consist of concurrent replicate samples, equipment blanks, and
VOC trip blanks. Concurrent replicate samples will be collected at one site
per year. This site will be chosen on a rotating basis. The replicate sample
collected will be analyzed for the same constituents as the stormwater
samples. Trip blanks will accompany any VOC samples to check for
contamination in the sampling process and in shipment to the lab.

Workload described represents the City’s best estimate of current
requirements. There are no guarantees implied or warranted. Quantities
shall not bind the City to accept nor require the City to pay for services
exceeding actual need nor for any items for which funds are not available.
No Contractor shall be guaranteed any minimum or maximum amount of
work.

3.2
EQUIPMENT
a. Ensure that sampling equipment is properly maintained and calibrated.

1.3.
Offeror should provide details of projects undertaken that are of similar
nature and size based on the City’s Specifications.

ADOT: During 2016-2020, NV5 was ADOT's consultant for monitoring and
sampling at five MS4 stations across Arizona and five ADOT maintenance
yards. ISCO autosamplers also were used for the ADOT facilities, but
included refrigerated units. Passive Nalgene samplers were deployed for
grab sampling at the maintenance yards. Approximately the same suite of
pollutants of concern as were sampled as for the Glendale MS4 permit,
with equivalent holding time constraints, despite the remote distance of
some locations from analytical laboratories.

City of Phoenix: NV5 assisted City of Phoenix Aviation with stormwater
projects including permit-driven quarterly inspections and a 30-minute

rev 10/12/22

response to a rainfall event for a Stormwater Multi-Sector General Permit
(MSGP). In 2016, NV5 completed wet weather inspections at Phoenix Sky
Harbor, Goodyear and Deer Valley Airports in accordance with the City's
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPs) for the respective airports.
Inspections were coordinated with the COP Aviation Department to ensure
that all facilities received the necessary inspections. NV5 completed about
four dozen tenant facility inspections at these three airports within 24
hours of qualifying rain events. Airside work at Sky Harbor was done at
night, during times of reduced flight operations. NV5 also provided quality
assurance/quality control reviews for the final product.

Town of Youngtown: In 2022, NV5 assisted the Town of Youngtown, a
Small MS4 Community, to comply with their permit sampling
requirements. NV5 assisted in the selection of three designated sampling
sites, installed passive sampling equiment, and successfully conducted
sampling of the first qualifying storm event.

City of Carlsbad, California: These projects include, the monitoring and
assessment of the water quality and quantity of discharges from the City of
Carlsbad MS4, pollutant source and/or stressor identification,
conformance assessments of water quality improvement strategies. NV5’s
scope of services also includes implementing non-storm water persistent
flow MS4 outfall discharge monitoring, dry weather special study
monitoring, Illicit Discharge Detection Elimination investigations, MS4
outfall visual observations, and assessment and reporting of the monitoring
programs.

Port of Long Beach: NV5 performed sampling at two MS4 outfalls for the
Port of Long Beach during three storms per year from 2016 through 2018.
We collected samples for a complex group of laboratory analyses required
by the Phase I MS4 Permit and the Harbor Toxics TMDL, including
bacterial analyses.

Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA): NV5 is providing stormwater
monitoring, analysis, and reporting services for Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX) and Van Nuys Airport to comply with California’s Industrial
General Permit (IGP). Sampling at LAX requires use of automated flow and
sampling equipment.

1.4.
Company Background: Include a brief history of your organization
including the past performance on project of similar scope and size, level
of knowledge, reliability, flexibility and ability to meet project deadlines.

rev 10/12/22

The NV5 Phoenix office (formerly known as Allwyn Environmental) has been
in operation since 2004. In 2015, Allywyn Environmental and its assets
were purchased by NV5 (founded in 1949). In June of 2019, NV5
purchased the assets of Alta Environmental, adding to our expertise
through their Southern California stormwater/water quality client base.

NV5 has the knowledge on projects of similar size and scope to
successfully complete this program for the City of Glendale, and deliver
results on time and within budget. Our expertise involves stormwater
programs using automated samplers and discreet sampling, quality
assurance/ quality control (QA/QC) sampling, laboratory delivery, data
analysis and report preparation. Our client references for ADOT the City of
Phoenix will attest to our level expertise and reliability during storm
seasons, and our ability to meet deadlines established by the permit or the
client.

NV5 understands the need for flexibility. We know that a storm can hit at
any time (nights, weekends or holidays). Our staff is committed to serving
all of our stormwater program clients during these times. We can respond
quickly and efficiently due to preparations made during the “dry season.”

We are fully cognizant of the regulatory requirements to which the COG
stormwater program must adhere. NV5 staff were involved in the initial
MS4 Parts I and II applications that Valley cities made to EPA Region IX.
We also were involved in the transition to Arizona primacy and the AZPDES
permits. NV5 closely monitors changes at ADEQ and updates to the
AZPDES MS4 program. In addition, we are current on County and City
stormwater ordinances.

NV5 also is skilled at writing and following QA/QC protocol. NV5 staff
updated the ADOT MS4 QA plan (QAPP) upon initiation of their sampling
and monitoring program. We also recently wrote a QAPP for the monitoring
of stormwater by the City of Chico, California. Both plans required review
by EPA and the City.

for the analytes to be sampled (e.g., Years 1-3 or Year 4 list). NV5 coordinates with
the City's selected analytical laboratory to procure the appropriate sample bottles.
Additionally, NV5 examines the analyte list for evaluate for potential interferences
from sampling material (Year 4 analyses are recommended to be sampled with
Teflon-lined tubing). Operations and maintenance (O&M) is performed at least semi-
annually and documented. Sampler programming is optimized to ensure that a
minimum qualifying storm will result in a complete composite sample, as well as
optimal coverage for storms potentially exceeding a minimum qualifying storm. A
system self check is run on the samplers. Sample volume calibrations are performed
at each station. Rain gauges are inspected to ensure they are not clogged with debris
from birds, etc. Outfalls also are inspected to ensure sample intakes and flow sensors
are free from debris. Battery health is checked and solar panel function is confirmed.
Composite sample containers within the sampler are decontaminated.

NV5 monitors the weather forecast for potential storms in the Glendale area.
When a potential qualifying storm is evident, NV5 will ensure a sampling team is
available and prepared for storm response. NV5 personnel will monitor SMS alerts
from the samplers as well as the Flood Control District of Maricopa County ALERT
Data Map to follow a storms progress and evaluate the potential for a qualifying
event. SMS status checks are used to establish that samplers are in communication
with the network and can transmit sampling progress notifications.

When a qualifying event is imminent, the field team will mobilize. Office support
during the event will monitor samplers using Flowlink Water Data Management
software to direct the field team to samplers that have indicated a qualifying event.
Assuming sample hold times will allow a grab sample to be submitted to the
laboratory within the allocated timeframe, grab samples will be collected first and
submitted to the laboratory, before returning to the field to collect composite
samples (assuming qualifying storms at each station). Samples are collected
following the City's standard operating procedures for stormwater sampling. A field
data sheet is completed for grab samples documenting the field parameter

rev 10/12/22

measurements and flow conditions at the time of grab sampling. These field sheets
will be forwarded to the City within a day of successful sampling.

Samples are transported to the City's selected analytical laboratory, and
submitted under chain-of-custody.

In the event a complete composite sample could not be obtained, NV5
empties/cleans the sampler and resets the program. If the storm event was a
qualifying event, the program is adjusted to have a 72 hour delay from the end of the
previous event as required by the permit. Sampling narratives are emailed to the City,
documenting successful sampling or evaluations of unsuccessful sampling events.

In the event that a qualifying event does not occur, NV5 monitors sampler and
sampling location conditions as needed to ensure sampler readiness.

Under the current contract, laboratory results are sent directly from Legend
Technical Services, Inc., to the City of Glendale. NV5 does not have the opportunity to
review/evaluate lab results and quality control data. However, NV5 would be happy to
assist the City with their QA/QC needs.

NV5 prepares hydrographs for each sampling station for each storm event, as well
as providing monthly hydrographs for each station. The storm hydrographs are
typically submitted within a few days of the successful sampling event to allow the
City time for review and then include with laboratory results in their submittals to
ADEQ.

2.2. Would the above task be completed in-house or by a subcontractor?

NV5 Phoenix personnel perform labor associated with sampling, routine O & M,
data download and processing and most non-routine repairs (solar controller
replacement, rain gauge repair, vandalism repairs). Repairs requiring assessment
or replacement of specific sampler components (e.g., circuit boards) are generally
coordinated through Western Environmental Equipment Company (WEECI), the
regional representative for ISCO equipment.

2.3. Describe experience maintaining samplers similar to the City’s equipment (ISCO
6712 portable sampler)?

NV5 has been operating and maintaining these specific Glendale samplers since
they were installed and through the last five years. NV5 also used this model of
sampler for ADOT stormwater sampling from 2016 to 2020.

NV5 has performed programming of each of the five stations in the Glendale MS4
system to collect a representative composite sample for a minimum qualifying

rev 10/12/22

storm event (0.2 inches of rain resulting in flow to be sampled over a three hour
period) while also attempting to provide the optimal sampling coverage for storms
of greater intensity. The parameters for achieving the optimal coverage are based
on basin-specific responses to a qualifying storm. Flow pacing is the parameter
that typically is adjusted to ensure appropriate sample coverage and volume, but
other parameters such as sample aliquot size and number of sample aliquots may
have to be adjusted to account for programing limitations in the software. Once
programming is "dialed in" it only needs adjusting to account for additional
sample volume during fourth year sampling.

NV5 has programmed the flow modules to provide accurate flow data based on
the size and shape of the conveyance, and the height and velocity of the water in
the conveyance.

NV5 has programmed the samplers to communicate the status of the samplers
during sampling and to respond to remote commands via cellular modem (SMS)
using the Verizon network. NV5 also can download sampler data remotely though
direct connection with the samplers.

NV5 has performed routine replacement of both sampler pump and intake tubing,
including installation of Teflon-lined tubing for fourth year sampling (required due
to potential interference with some analytes from polyethylene tubing). Sampler
pump tubing replacement is based on number of pump cycles, which varies with
intake tubing length. NV5 uses the sampler monitoring system to specify the
maximum interval for replacement, and performs visual inspections to determine
is earlier replacement is warranted.

NV5 has adjusted flow sensor positioning to best measure flow while also
protecting the sensor from potential vandalism.

NV5 has replaced multiple solar controllers with two being upgrades.
