This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Berkeley, California. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The City of Berkeley is soliciting written proposals from qualified firms or individuals to prepare a comprehensive Storm Water Master Plan (SWMP). As a Request for Proposal (RFP) this is not an invitation to bid and although price is very important, other factors will be taken into consideration. The Consultant shall furnish all services as required in order to prepare a comprehensive Storm Water Master Plan (SWMP). The City will be adopting the SWMP and use it as the guide to establish policies, funding levels, identify capital improvement projects, and allocate resources to operations and maintenance, including staffing levels. The SWMP needs to explore, identify, and provide recommendations on issues related to water rights in using urban runoff as a resource and issues with NPDES Permit compliance. The Consultant shall research and collect all data necessary to complete the SWMP. The Consultant is encouraged to propose modifications to the individual tasks listed below or the entire scope of services if the Consultant can demonstrate innovative, advanced, and well-thoughout methodologies to produce a cost-efficient SWMP that the City may not have specifically identified in the scope of services. These proposed additions shall be identified as optional items and priced out separately. The SWMP, at a minimum, will include flow monitoring, condition assessment, hydrologic and hydraulic modelling, model calibration, GI considerations, watershed storage, peak flow attenuation, sea-level rise and other climate change considerations, evaluate options for pure gravity flow operations, pumping options, and development of a 15- year CIP to address these needs.
