I 6.2A II � Page 9 � EXHIBIT A i SCOP� OF WORK The Bay Area-Wide Trash Capture Demonstration Project is funded by the State Water Resources Control Board I Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRT) with funds from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA). The San Francisco Estuary Partnership (SFEP), a project of the Association of Bay Area Govemments (ABAG) will administer the project, which will retrofit and/or improve storm drainage infrastructure in order to address trash pallution in San Francisco Bay and local creeks. The project will demonstrate to municipalities and the pnblic that trash can be managed, and that reductions in the volume of trash enhance the Fscuary and its water quality. Municipal staff will gain experience with, and share information about, different types of trash capture devices. The project will facilitate eatly compliance with the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Qualiry Control Board's Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Sysiem Permit affecting Phase I communilies, and anticipaled requirements for operators of small municipal separate storm sewer systems (Phase II). SFEP/ABAG has developed an initial distribution of project resources, posted at I�ttp://www.bayareatrashtrucker.org/contenUcontract-resources, which allocates a proportion of available funds to all project area municipalities (Exhibit A-1) based on population and regulatory requirement to capture trash. This allocation will be revised to reflect the municipalities that choose to contract with ABAG and join the project. SFEP/ABAG has solicited proposals from, and is contracting with vendors to provide trash capture devices for installation in municipal storni drain systems throughout the project area, in a range of scales and designs appropriate to different locations and conditions. All construction must be complete, and all devices installed, by November 1, 2012. The project completion date (end of project term) is December 1, 2013. Participating entities that opt to join the project will undertake the following tasks: l. Contract with the Association of Bay Area Governments to participate in the F3ay Area-wide Trash Capture Demonstration Project. This contract includes provisions required by both ARRA and the CWSRF. � 2. Review the list of vendors and trash capture devices included in the project (Exhibit A-21; identify high trash-generating locations for ii�stallation of devices; and work with vendors' representatives to select and size devices appropriate to those sites. Each individual installation must either be covered by the ProjecYs categorical exemption from requirements of the California Cnvironmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines ' Section 15302(c), Replacement or Reconsttvction), or the municipality must submit to ABAG complete ' CEQA documentafion that was been duly filed with the Governor's Office of Planning and Research before September 15, 2009. 3. Complete a purchase order form (example in Exhibit A-3) for each vendor of selected devices, specifying devices and locations; sign the form along with the vendor's representative; and submit to the SFEP project manager. Submit multiple purchase orders if necessary. 4. Either supervise installation of each device by the vendor; install the device with municipal staff Iabor, or contract separately with an appropriate installer (using municipal funds unless otherwise arranged with ABAG legal staf� to place tlie device in accordance with specifications. 3: When the device is properly insta[led and functioning, complete a Notice of Acceptance (Exhibit A-4) and submit the ABAG. When a representative of the cily or county signs the Notice of Acceptance, ownership and responsibility for upkeep and maintenance of the device pass from ABAG to the municipality. 6. Display a project placard, to be provided by ABAG, in city/county offices or other appropriate public space 7. Maintenance: Municipal staff will perform or supervise appropriate regular maintenance of each device according to manufacturer's instructions or best practices, Each device will be maintained so as to maximize effectiveness and minimize both flooding r�nd flow of trash through the stonn drainage system; 5
