Mr. Andy Winje, Associate Engineer
City of Rancho Palos Verdes

Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275
Subject: Proposal for Storm Drain Monitoring System Design and Installation
Dear Mr. Winje:
Geosyntec Consultants (Geosyntec) is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes (City) to design a monitoring system for the 54-inch storm drain
recently constructed to divert flow from the San Ramon Canyon streambed. The storm
drain monitoring system will be designed to measure water flow and rainfall during
storm events and will include still photography and/or video of the newly installed
storm drain performance during storm events. Geosyntec is committed to providing the
resources and technical expertise that will be required for this project.
SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work will include the following tasks:
• Task 1: Site Visit
• Task 2: Monitoring System Design
• Task 3: Monitoring System Installation and Technical Memo
Task 1 —Site Visits
Geosyntec will conduct a site visit to make observations and take photographs of the
new storm drain inlet and outlet. The information to be gathered during the site visit
will include identification of the locations where the monitoring system components
could be installed and to identify field conditions that might affect selection of specific
types of equipment.
Assumptions:
• One field day for two Geosyntec personnel to conduct site visit, take
photographs, and evaluate site conditions.

• City to provide as-built storm drain drawings in .dwg format that include details
on the storm drain, inlet, and outlet construction prior to the site visit.
• City staff will be responsible for granting Geosyntec access to the site.
Task 2—Monitoring System Design
Following the site visit, Geosyntec will use the information gathered during the site visit
to design the monitoring system. Geosyntec understands that the City desires a
monitoring system that will be used to monitor the effectiveness of the newly installed
storm drain located at San Ramon Canyon Creek including storm drain flow and
associated rainfall monitoring as well as visual documentation through still or video
photography of the system operation. Based on the field conditions, Geosyntec will
provide the City up to three options for the equipment, if applicable, as well as
estimated costs for the various monitoring system components so that the City can
choose the desired design components. These options may include but are not limited
to utilizing electrical power vs. solar power, still photography vs. video of discharge
events, and real-time vs. storage and retrieval access to the camera, rainfall and flow
data.
The monitoring system equipment options will be provided to the City in table format
for review and will include a brief description of the equipment and cost to purchase.
Following receipt of equipment selection from the City, Geosyntec will prepare a
technical memo specifying the selected equipment, installation location, and required
functionality (i.e., the camera will activate once the rain gauge receives 0.X inch of
rain).
Assumptions:
• The monitoring system will be observational and is not intended to operate the
storm drain.
• The technical memo will be submitted electronically to the City in draft format
for review. Geosyntec will incorporate City comments and provide the final
technical memo in electronic format.
• The technical memo will serve as the scope of work for the contractor(s)
installing the equipment.

Task 3—Monitoring System Installation
Following approval of the final design by the City, Geosyntec will coordinate field
work and provide engineering support services during installation of the monitoring
system. Third party contractor(s) will be responsible for providing and installing the
specified monitoring equipment in accordance with the system design.
Following installation of the monitoring system, Geosyntec will prepare a summary
memo to be submitted to the City documenting the equipment installed and the function
of the monitoring system.
Assumptions:
• Four field days for one Geosyntec staff to provide engineering support services
during installation.
• Geosyntec will not have any subcontractors under this project.
• The City will purchase the selected monitoring equipment directly.
• Geosyntec will provide a recommendation for the contractor(s) to provide and
install the necessary equipment for the monitoring system. The contractor(s)will
contract directly with the City.
• Installation of the monitoring system equipment will be performed by
contractor(s)under a separate contract with the City.
• City staff will be responsible for obtaining any permits (if necessary).
• Upon installation and startup operation of the monitoring system, the City will
be responsible for maintenance and repairs.
• The summary memo will be submitted electronically to the City in draft format
for review. Geosyntec will incorporate City comments and provide the final
memo in electronic format.
COST PROPOSAL
Geosyntec will conduct the work effort described in the above Scope of Work for
$23,200. This work will be billed based on actual time and materials expended in
accordance with the Geosyntec Rate Schedule included in the On-Call
Professional/Technical Services Agreement dated 15 July 2014 which includes an

annual escalation based on the CPI index. A detailed cost estimate is included in the
attached Cost Breakdown tables. It is understood that reallocation of cost between tasks
and subtasks may occur so long as the total project amount is not exceeded. The total
project amount will not be exceeded without prior written approval.
The work will be conducted in accordance with the executed On-Call
Professional/Technical Services Agreement dated 15 July 2014 (Agreement), however
Geosyntec must advise the City that the provision for notice to clients of material
changes in insurance coverage under Section 3.6 of the Agreement is not commercially
available, only notice of cancellation is provided by insurance carriers and will be
provided by Geosyntec's carrier.
Geosyntec appreciates the opportunity to assist the City of Rancho Palos Verdes with
this project. If you have any questions or wish to discuss this scope of work further,
please contact Misty Steele at (714) 465-1243 or Kathleen McGowan at (714)
