Explanation
* Storm Water Services evaluates the feasibility of new surface water quality improvement projects.
* Surface water quality enhancements, ponds, and stream restoration projects drain to creeks identified as impaired by Clean Water Act standards.
* Improvements to existing ponds and newly identified surface water quality enhancement and stream restoration projects will remove pollutants from stormwater runoff before the water is discharged into the creeks.
* Stream restoration projects can generate mitigation credits that can be used to offset stream and wetland impacts on City and County projects.
* On January 10, 2022, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ); 17 responses were received.
* The firms selected are the best qualified firms to meet the City's needs on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualification of professional services in response to the RFQ requirements.
