10-124 Agreement, Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), Bay Area-wide Trash Capture Demonstration Project ASSOCIATION OF BAY AREA GOVERNMENTS Agreement for Local Agency Participation in Grant - Funded Bay Area -wide Trash Capture Demonstration Project This agreement is made and entered into effective DEGE/18E2 /S, 2010, by and between the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), a public entity formed under the California Joint Exercise of Powers Act, Government Code Sections 6500, et seq. and the City of Cupertino (Cupertino), a City. Recitals A. ABAG and the California State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) have entered into Project Finance Agreement No. 09- 823 -550 (PFA) in the amount of $5,000,000 (five million dollars) for Clean Water State Revolving Fund Project No. C -06- 6441 -110, the Bay Area -wide Trash Capture Demonstration Project (Project). Funding is provided by the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The PFA and amendments are located at http : / /www.baj'areatrashtracker.org /content /contract- resources B. The Project is comprised of the following elements: acquisition of trash capture devices (TCDs), provision and /or installation of TCDs in existing storm drainage infrastructure, maintenance of installed TCDs and monitoring of installed TCDs. C. Cupertino is one of many local government entities that are eligible to participate in the Project (collectively, "Potential Participants ") by facilitating installation of tha TCDs in its existing storm drainage infrastructure and by maintaining and monitoring installed TCDs, as s :t forth in the attached Exhibit A, Scope of Work, which is incorporated herein by this reference. D. ABAG issued Requests for Proposals for small capacity trash capture devices (small TCDs) and for high flow capacity trash capture devices (large TCDs) (collectively, "TCDs ") and assembled a panel of vendors for devices in both categories that can meet minimum trash capture permit requirements when properly installed and maintained. E. ABAG has contracted with each vendor on the panel to furnish, and if requested, install small TCDs selected by Participating Entities [as defined in section 2(a)]; and to provide large TCDs; and for ABAG to pay the cost thereof. F. ABAG has made an initial determination that each Potential Participant will have access to a portion of the funds available under the PFA (PFA Funds) for the acquisition and installation of TCDs, all as shown in Exhibit A -1. ABAG and Cupertino mutually agree as follows: 1. Initial Allocation and Current Balances. Cupertino has access to $43,123 (forty -three thousand, one hundred and twenty -three dollars) in PFA Funds to acquire and install TCDs. PFA Funds may only be used to fund or defray the costs of acquiring and/or installing TCDs from the panel of vendors listed in Exhibit A -2 (see section 3). ABAG will calculate the amount of PFA Funds to which Cupertino has access on any given day by reducing the initial allocation by the amount encumbered by TCDs on order (see section 3) and amounts paid for accepted TCDs. This information will be posted at r ttp : / /www.bayareatrashtracker.org /content /contract- resources and will be adjusted on an as- needed basis. 2. Reallocations. (a) Cupertino acknowledges that the success of the Project depends on maximum use of the PFA Funds and that greater use may be achieved by reallocating access to PFA Funds among the Potential Participants that have executed an "Agreement for Local Agency Participation Grant Funded SF Bay Area Trash Capture Demonstration Project" by January 1, 2011 (Participating Entities). All reallocations will be reflected in the current balance (see section 1). 1 (b) All of the initial allocations for any Potential Participants that have not executed an "Agreement for Local Agency Participation Grant Funded SF Bay Area Trash Capture Demonstration Project" by January 1, 2011 will be reallocated among Participating Entities by ABAG at its sole discretion after soliciting input from the Project's Technical Advisory Group. Reallocations under this provision will be implemented by written notice from ABAG to each Participating Entity that is given access to the additional PFA Funds. Cupertino agrees that any written notice(s) it receives pursuant to this section will automatically amend the allocation in section 1 in accordance with its terms. (c) ABAG may reallocate access to any unused PFA Funds during the period from January 1, 2011 to March 1, 2011 as follows: ABAG will provide written notice of the proposed reallocation to the affected Participating Entities no less than 30 (thirty) calendar days prior to the date that ABAG intends to implement the reallocation. The affected Participating Entities and ABAG may negotiate a different reallocation and implement it by a writing executed by the authorized representatives of the affected Participating Entities and ABAG. If the affected Participating Entities and ABAG cannot agree on a different reallocation, ABAG may (i) unilaterally implement the reallocation described in the notice on the date set forth therein or (ii) rescind the notice. Cupertino agrees that ABAG may unilaterally amend Cupertino's allocation in accordance with this subsection (c). 3. Ordering TCDs. ABAG has published a document that lists and describes all available TCDs, which is labeled Exhibit A -2 and is online for downloading at http:// www. bayareatrashtracker .org /content /trash- capture- devices, and may be amended from time to time by ABAG. To order a TCD, Cupertino must submit to ABAG a completed Purchase Order signed by representatives of Cupertino and the vendor of the TCD in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A -3. Cupertino is responsible for negotiating and reaching agreement with the vendor on the additional information required by the Purchase Order, and such other additional terms and conditions as Cupertino and the vendor deem necessary, including without limitation, location of installation, date of delivery or installation, per unit cost, design, engineering and other technical collaboration or assistance. Cupertino is responsible for coordinating its ordering of TCDs in a manner that entitles it, alone or in conjunction with others, to discounted prices for TCDs. The Purchase Order is not effective until approved by ABAG. ABAG may unilaterally amend Exhibit A -2 from time to time to reflect changes in TCD availability or specifications or vendor information. 4. Project Sites. Cupertino must locate all TCDs acquired under this agreement at locations (Project Sites) that meet the requirements set forth in Exhibits D -1 through DD = 4, inclusive (Certifications). 5. Accepting TCDs. Upon Cupertino's acceptance of a TCD, ABAG will pay the vendor of the TCD. Cupertino may accept a TCD only by submitting to ABAG a completed Notice of Acceptance executed by Cupertino and the vendor. Payment will be made after ABAG approves the Notice of Acceptance, attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A -4. The Notice of Acceptance Form is available online for downloading at http: / /www.bayarcatrashtrackcr.org /content /contract- resources and may be amended from time to time by ABAG. 6.

The San Francisco Estuary Partnership (SFEP), a project of the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) will administer the project, which will retrofit and/or improve storm drainage infrastructure in order to address trash pollution in San Francisco Bay and local creeks. The project will demonstrate to municipalities and the public that trash can be managed, and that reductions in the volume of trash enhance the Estuary and its water quality. Municipal staff will gain experience with, and share information about, different types of trash capture devices. The project will facilitate early compliance with the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board's Municipal Regional Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit affecting Phase I communities, and anticipated requirements for operators of small municipal separate storm sewer systems (Phase II). SFEP /ABAG has developed an initial distribution of project resources, posted at Imttp: /, /w« w.bayareatrashtracker.org /content /contract- 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 storm 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: 1. Contract with the Association of Bay Area Governments to participate in the Bay 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 -2); identify high trash - generating locations for installation 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 Project's categorical exemption from requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines Section 15302(c), Replacement or Reconstruction), or the municipality must submit to ABAG complete CEQA documentation 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 labor; or contract separately with an appropriate installer (using municipal funds unless otherwise arranged with ABAG legal staff) to place the device in accordance with specifications. When the device is properly installed and functioning, complete a Notice of Acceptance (Exhibit A -4) and submit the ABAG. -When a representative of the city 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 and flow of trash through the storm drainage system; 5 and to filter the one - hour /one -year storm at all times. The municipality will maintain the device in good working order for the useful life of the TCD (not to exceed 25 years), unless otherwise authorized by ABAG and the State Water Resources Control Board Division of Financial Assistance. 8. Monitoring and reporting: Municipal staff will use the online reporting website operated by ABAG /SFEP to record the following: a. Instal lation /location i. Device inventory number, name, and type ii. Size /capacity of device iii. Installation location iv. Catchbasin dimensions, if applicable v. Outflow pipe diameter vi. Best estimate of catchment area (required for high flow capacity devices, optional for small devices) vii. Major land uses in catchment, estimated percentages (high flow capacity devices); or dominant land use adjacent to catchbasin (small TCDs) b.
