EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF SERVICES Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) Overview Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) is discharged to the sewer can accumulate along pipe walls coating pipes until wastewater flow through lines is restricted by scaling and sedimentation buildup, causing SSOs and blockages. These occurrences may result in property damage, environmental problems in nearby surface waters, and public health hazards. There has been an increased emphasis on preventing SSOs recently, in part because of the pending USEPA regulations for sanitary sewers, but also because new collection system requirements are being issued by state and local regulatory authorities. As a result, source control and pretreatment programs have had to reevaluate or establish FOG Control Programs. This project scope is intended to assist the City of Redwood City Public Works Services Department in the development of a program to successfully control FOG discharges. The effort will identify and characterize the sources of the FOG and determine how these contribute and impact the collection system's overall operations. The work will meet the requirements of the State Water Resources Control Board Order Number 2006-003 and follow the "Guide for Developing and Implementing a FOG Control Program" issued by the State of California as a guidance docum ent. To be successful in this effort, the following tasks will be completed: Task 1 - Establishing Program Administration - CDM believes that the first task in developing the FOG program is to define the City's organizational structure and the responsible agencies/departments to successfully implement the program. This task will create the basis to build the FOG program. Task 2 - Understanding the Regulatory Requirements - this task will involve developing a matrix of the regulatory requirements and identifying the current practices at the City. During this task, any current deficiency in meeting the requirements will be identified and the necessary actions to correct any program shortcoming. Task 3 - Characterization of FOG Sources - this task will require working with the City's Public Works Supervisor respo nsible for the sanitary sewer system, to identify and determine the causes of FOG blockages, the location of sanitary sewer system sections subject to FOG blockages. This task will also review the current cleaning schedule of the collection system that is prone to FOG blockages. Task 4 - FOG Control Program - this task will describe the program in regulating facilities (e.g., permits, incentives, or education). This effort will define the relationship between the City and SBSA in enforcing compliance with the program, and the City's legal authority in the implementation of the program. The public outreach element of the FOG program will also be described under this task, involving the type of outreach material to be used and a schedule for developing this material. 10 Agreement over $1 OK City Attorney Approved Version 111803 U:\!SSMP Work\FOG Ordinance\CDM AgreementlAgreemenCProfessionalSvc_FOG Program Dev.doc
