MEETING OF DECEMBER 20, 2016
TO: Mayor and City Council
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
THRU: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director
Chris Brown, City Engineer
FROM: Alan Pugh, Staff Engineer
DATE: November 28, 2016
SUBJECT: Waiving competitive bidding and approving of an agreement in the amount of
$41,505.61 with the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission for a Stormwater
Education Program to be provided by the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension service
to satisfy portions of the NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit requirements
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff reccomends Waiving competitive bidding and approving of an agreement in the amount of
$41,505.61 with the Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission for a Stormwater
Education Program to be provided by the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension service
to satisfy portions of the NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit requirements.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Fayetteville has participated in the educational program provided by the University of
Arkansas Cooperative Extension since its inception. This program has been very successful
and a valuable asset to the public as well as the city.
DISCUSSION:
Since 2003, the cities of Bentonville, Bethel Heights, Elkins, Elm Springs, Farmington,
Fayetteville, Greenland, Johnson, Little Flock, Lowell, Springdale and Rogers along with Benton
and Washington Counties and the University of Arkansas have been operating under EPA's
federally mandated Phase II Stormwater regulations as Municipal Separate Storm Sewer
Systems (MS4s). The cities of Bella Vista, Cave Springs, Centerton, Pea Ridge, Prairie Grove,
and Tontitown were recently designated as MS4s based on the 2010 census and these cities
are joining the education program this year. While these jurisdictions obtained separate
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits, they jointly contracted with
Cooperative Extension Service (CES) through the NWA Regional Planning Commission as a
successful and cost-effective means of implementing the following minimum control measures
required in their Phase II permits as well as ensure uniformity in the message presented to
residents of Northwest Arkansas:
1) Public Education and Outreach
2) Public Involvement and Participation
6) Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping (training for municipal employees)
Mailing Address:
113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov
Fayetteville, Aft 72701
Positive feedback from ADEQ and participating MS4s has led to the CES and the NWARPC
partnering for an additional urban stormwater education program in support of the MS4s' new
2014-2019 stormwater management permits.
This agreement is for participation in a 1-Year Regional Stormwater Education and Coordination
Program, however, the intent is to waive competitive bidding until the end of the permit period
which is 2019. Please note that due to the fact the cost will fluctuate, City Council will still have
the opportunity to review and approve the new agreement and fee each year by resolution. The
agreement will not automatically renew.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
Funding in the amount of $41,505.61 is available in the Stormwater Quality Management and
Nutrient Reduction Plan Budget. These funds are proposed to be utilized to satisfy the terms of
the agreement.

Permit Requirements: Regulation 40 CFR 122.34(b)(1): "The permittee must implement a
public education program to distribute educational materials to the community or conduct
equivalent outreach activities about the impacts of stormwater discharges on water bodies and

The City of Fayetteville participates in monthly meetings of the NWA Stormwater Compliance
Group. We also have representation on the NWA Stormwater Education Steering committee
(public membership comprised of diverse backgrounds/interests) convenes at least once each year
to review and evaluate program accomplishments and plan next steps. Both groups provide the
localized input used to identify critical stormwater issues and target audiences and program
methods and public relations strategies.
Applicable Public Education/Outreach BMPs

Measureable Goal:
At least 10 stormwater education programs will be conducted for adult audiences
Conduct hand -on youth stormwater/water quality education programs
Educational programs for school youth will focus on the water cycle, watersheds, stormwater

Learning Tree and creekside classrooms. Programs conducted will support the Arkansas State
Frameworks/Common Core required curriculum.
