5 <br /> for validating or qualifying data as necessary. The proposed method will be reviewed and <br /> approved by the committee established to review project deliverables. <br /> • Conduct data validations or prepare data qualifications as appropriate and enter <br /> information from the BMP studies into the database. <br /> • Prepare a final summary of data gaps. Work with the Stormwater Committee to assign <br /> priorities to addressing the data gaps. Rank data gaps in terms of the estimated costs of <br /> obtaining the information. Prepare a recommendation for conducting coordinated <br /> statewide monitoring in Oregon to work towards addressing the highest priority data <br /> gaps. <br /> • Develop a spreadsheet to retrieve and evaluate data from the database in terms of BMP <br /> effectiveness. <br /> • Attend meetings to receive comments on interim products and to obtain approval for final <br /> products. <br /> Part B Deliverables <br /> • A database that includes local and national data that has been collected using acceptable <br /> QA/QC protocols. <br /> • A narrative that identifies the most significant unresolved questions about BMP <br /> effectiveness, and the data necessary to resolve those questions. The narrative should <br /> also include a recommendation for conducting statewide monitoring in Oregon to work <br /> towards addressing data gaps. The recommendation should address the broad outlines of <br /> how to best collect the data (study design, rough number of samples, parameters, BMPs, <br /> outfall vs. instream, storm vs. dry, event duration, etc.) and what types of <br /> analyticaUstatistical tools should be used to provide the desired answers. <br /> • A series of charts that show marginal cost per unit of pollutant removed for different <br /> implementation levels of specific BMPs and water quality parameters. Costs should <br /> include both capital and O&M. The list of BMPS and pollutants to be evaluated will be <br /> identified by the ACWA technical committee established to advise on this consulting <br /> contract. The list of pollutants will likely include at least the water quality parameters <br /> that have TMDLs or appear on DEQ's 2002 303(d) list for the Willamette River. <br /> • A spreadsheet that calculates the estimated effectiveness of a BMP in achieving water <br /> quality improvements by providing a standard range of pollutant reduction figures, <br /> effluent quality concentrations, or other appropriate measures for each BMP for a number <br /> of water quality parameters, based on acreage or other quantity units to be input by MS4 <br /> permittees. The spreadsheet will be accompanied by a narrative and footnotes that <br /> describe and justify the pollutant reduction figures associated with each BMP. <br /> Schedule <br /> The following is a tentative schedule for completion of the ACWA BMP Effectiveness Study: <br /> • Request for Proposals released -February 12, 2004 <br /> • Proposal Due to ACWA -March 12, 2004 (3:00 PM) <br /> • Consultant Selection Complete -March 26, 2004 (extended if interviews necessary) <br /> • Contract Award for Part A -April 16, 2004 <br /> PAGE 5 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS - - Stormwater BMP Effectiveness Review <br /> <br /> February, 2003 <br /> <br />
