City of Mounds View Page 2 MS4 Mapping Proposal April 9, 2009 We discussed the need to prepare a complete MS4 map with City Staff on December 16, 2008. The consensus was that Mounds View’s current stormwater map doesn’t include all of the necessary components as described in the City’s MS4 permit. City Staff supports the idea of combining Mounds View’s MS4 mapping with the drainage area map in the LSWMP and recommended that this idea be presented to the City Council at their February 2, 2009 City Council Work Session. Following some discussion at the February 2nd Work Session, the City Council was in favor of combining the mapping and directed that a scope of work and cost to perform the necessary mapping work be prepared. In addition, the City Council directed us to work closely with City staff in developing the scope of work to maximize City Staff resources in researching and collecting data to minimize the project costs. We met with City Staff on February 13, 2009 to review the data needs for the MS4 map. Following the City Council’s direction, City Staff was responsible for researching and collecting the available data and recently provided us with hard copy maps identifying the necessary stormwater features. We propose to review and verify the data provided by City Staff for compliance with the MS4 mapping requirements, digitize and label this information, and prepare the necessary maps according to the Tasks identified in the attached letter agreement. II. Scope of Services The following presents our understanding of the scope of work to complete Mounds View’s MS4 mapping, as required by their MS4 permit. We have identified 3 main tasks necessary to perform this update. These tasks are listed below, followed by a brief description of each, which includes task deliverables and City staff responsibilities. List of Main Tasks Task 1: Digitize available data Task 2: Meet with City Staff Task 3: Finalize 2009 MS4 Map Task 1: Digitize Available Data City Staff has provided us with a hard copy map identifying all known MS4 regulated storm water features (storm water ponds, storm sewer, outfalls, infiltration features, etc.) in Mounds View. Task 1 will first review and verify the information provided by City Staff for compliance with the MS4 mapping requirements, and then proceed to digitize the locations and shapes of these storm water features as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) shapefiles. We will also create a unique identification number for all digitized features.
