Water Quality Management Plan Handbook

The City of Fontana Engineering Department is seeking to develop a comprehensive Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) Handbook aimed at consolidating all existing city documents and requirements related to water quality management into a single, user-friendly resource. This initiative is designed to streamline the current process, which presently directs developers to the County of San Bernardino for guidelines. The new handbook will clarify the types and methods of treatment options that are easily maintainable by the City’s staff and contractors, without redefining the overall WQMP process. It will serve as an educational tool for both internal staff and the public, outlining the basic requirements, applicable parties, and procedures involved in WQMP compliance. Additionally, the document will specify City-approved treatment systems and establish a clear review and approval process for applicants, ensuring consistency and efficiency. Alongside the handbook, the vendor will be responsible for revising and updating the existing informational tri-fold handout to reflect the new procedures. Once completed, the project includes conducting at least two workshops to educate stakeholders on the revised review and plan check processes for WQMP submissions. This effort aims to improve understanding, streamline approval workflows, and ensure that all parties are well-informed about the City’s current standards and procedures for water quality management. The contract, posted under solicitation number SP-05-DE-16, was issued by the City of Fontana, California, with a response deadline of August 26, 2015, and is managed by primary contact Sid Lambert.
