CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Professional Services for Preparation of Risk Management and Prevention Program (RMPP)
for the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility ($9,000)
MEETING DATE: March 20, 1996
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a professional
services agreement with BASE Associates in Sacramento, for preparation of the
risk management and prevention program (RMPP).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Risk Management Prevention Program is mandated by Article 2 of
Chapter 6.95 of the California Health and Safety Code. The administering
agency for this program is the County of San Joaquin Office of Emergency
Services. White Slough's bulk chlorine and sulfur dioxide tanks (10 tons
each) are triggering this requirement due to the toxic nature of these chemicals. This plan would outline emergency
procedures in the the event of an accidental release. City staff had earlier requested an exemption from this
State -mandated program, but on September 25, 1995, our request was denied.
The City Council approved the proposal and estimated funding at its meeting of December 20, 1995. Twenty-three
firms were invited to submit proposals. Of the eleven responses received, eight included proposals which were
reviewed by City staff. Three firms were selected for an interview. BASE Associates was selected as the best firm
for our project.
FUNDING: Appropriation: Sewer Fund
Project Estimate: $15,000
