In January 2005, the Public Works Agency began <br />implementation of a comprehensive FOG control program that includes regular inspections of all <br />food service establishments to insure compliance with the ordinance. The FOG ordinance and <br />program are required by the California State Water Quality Control Board. <br />In 2010, Requests for Proposals for fats, oils, and grease program management services were <br />sent out, and one proposal was received and evaluated by a selection committee. Environmental <br />Engineering and Contracting, Inc. (EEC) was highly rated based on its detailed scope of services, <br />understanding of the project, qualifications, and experience with similar projects. <br />On May 3, 2010, the Council awarded an agreement to EEC for a one -year term, with provision <br />for 3 one -year renewals. The services EEC provides include inspection of new food service <br />establishments (FSEs), training and support of City sanitation inspectors, support and <br />maintenance of the FSE database, coordination with other agencies to insure compliance with <br />regulatory requirements, and technical support to City staff for all FOG - related issues. EEC has <br />performed all contractual services satisfactorily and has agreed to renew the agreement without <br />increasing prices. <br />Staff recommends that the current agreement with EEC be renewed for a one -year term. This is <br />the second of three possible one -year renewals. <br />25E -1 <br />
