which will be written as claims-made coverage.

grounds for CMWD to terminate this Agreement.

RE: Proposal for Phase II Recycled Water Project Document Retention
Dear Ms. Stephenson:
Appendix "A"
RMC Water and Environment (RMC) appreciates the opportunity to submit a proposal to assist the
Carlsbad Municipal Water District (District) with Phase II Recycled Water Project Document
Retention services. This proposal is based on our ongoing experience with administration of wide
variety of funding-related programs, including State Revolving Fund (SRF), U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation (USBR), and Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) grants and loans. Upon
the District's request, RMC can identify potential documentation that should be retained for the
District's records for the Phase II Recycled Water Project, and perform other tasks necessary to assist
the District with maintaining compliance with the record-keeping requirements under loan
agreements 5-721-550-0 and 04-812-550-0 between the District and the State Water Resources
Control Board (SWRCB).
RMC Qualifications
RMC has an extensive resume of successfully preparing grant and loan applications and
administering funding for agencies throughout California. Our in-depth understanding of loan and
grant funding processes enables RMC to understand the nuances of administration and record-
keeping for compliance with funding agreements.
RMC has worked directly on many projects that were funded through grant and loan programs.
Through this process, we have become familiar with standard requirements for invoicing, reporting,
documentation of applicable deliverables. Through this experience, we have developed data tracking
and organizational methods that would apply directly to document retention requirements for the
Phase II Recycled Water Project.
RMC's ability to understand appropriate document retention assistance for our clients is perhaps best
illustrated by our success in administering local projects under the Department of Water Resources'
IRWM Grant Program. RMC has administered 4 local projects through three rounds ofiRWM grant
funding, successfully maintaining records and documenting project progress for compliance with
IR WM funding agreements.

Proposed Scope of Work
Task 1 -Project Initiation
RMC will review project information provided by the District to gain an understanding of the
components included in the Phase II Recycled Water Project, which will assist RMC staff in
identifying relevant documentation in the District's files. RMC will review applicable project
agreements and funding contracting to refine the list of documents to retain, as well as determine the
method of retention (hard copy or electronic) and duration of retention (year to destroy). RMC
anticipates retained records would include the following documentation:

• District Record of Approval: documentation would include all District Board of Director

Upon refinement of the document list, RMC will meet once with District staff, including the Phase II
Recycled Water Project's Project Manager, Engineer, or other appropriate staff with knowledge of the
project, and the District's financial staff to confirm the proposed list of documentation and identifY
specific types of files that would fulfill the identified documentation requirements.
Task I Deliverables: Draft and final list of project documentation to retain, method of retention, and
duration of retention.
Task 2 -Document Review
RMC will transport documentation to RMC offices for processing. RMC will review project
documentation provided by the District, and sort documentation into "files to retain" and "files not
3
required for loan". Following the initial division of documentation into files to retain and files note
required for loan, RMC will coordinate with District staff to verify documentation has been sorted
appropriately. RMC will return all documentation to the District in clearly marked boxes for loan
purposes, as described below.
This proposal assumes there are 80 boxes of documentation, each approximately the size of a
banker's box. This proposal assumes RMC will hold one meeting with the District to verify files are
sorted appropriately. This effort is estimated to require a level of effort for document sorting that is
consistent with the Fee Estimate provided in Exhibit A ( ~ 1.5 hours of Project Administrator time for
each box). This proposal further assumes that the District will arrange for proper disposal of
documentation not required for the loan, and that District staff will digitize and file documentation to
retain. In the event that the District has more than 80 boxes to review, or that the District requests
RMC to file or dispose of documentation as appropriate, the provided fee estimate may need to be
revised.
RMC will also perform general project management activities, including preparation of monthly
invoices and progress reports.
Task 2 Deliverables: List of documentation to retain, method of retention, and duration of retention.
Documentation sorted into boxes clearly labelled as follows:
1. "Retain as Hard Copy for loan purposes through [Date}. Then comply with Carlsbad
Document Retention Policy"
2. "Retain as Electronic Copy, for loan purposes through [Date}. Then comply with
Carlsbad Document Retention Policy"
3. "Not required for loan; Comply with Carlsbad Document Retention Policy."
Monthly progress reports and invoices.
Proposed Schedule
RMC proposes to complete this effort within 18 weeks of project kickoff, as shown in Table 1.

Proposed Fee
RMC proposes to provide the District with Phase II Recycled Water Project Document Retention
services for a fee not to exceed $20,584 to be billed on a time and materials basis according to our
2016 standard rate sheet (attached). We are prepared to begin work on this effort upon your
authorization to do so.
