Work Authorization for NPDES Annual Compliance Reporting Assistance for a Total Not to Exceed $5,500 The Village of Tequesta (VOT) Utilities Department(UD) recommends approval of a work authorization (WA)with Engenuity Group, Inc. for NPDES Annual Compliance Reporting Assistance for a Total Not to Exceed $5,500. The Village is required to comply with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit program, which requires implementation and continuous improvement of a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP)to reduce pollutants to the maximum extent practicable (MEP) and protect water quality. Florida MS4 permit coverage generally requires an SWMP that includes six minimum control measures and measurable goals, along with required annual reporting to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). Palm Beach County MS4 permittees also coordinate program activities through an established MS4 Steering Committee, with the Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District (NPBCID) serving in a lead/administrative role for the group's program. Engenuity Group, Inc. submitted a proposal dated December 16, 2025, to provide professional engineering services to support the Village's NPDES/MS4 compliance activities during FY 2025-2026. The proposed scope includes: - Attendance at monthly NPDES Steering Committee meetings at NPBCID as the Village's representative. - Gather required documentation for the joint annual report and submit to FDEP. - Guidance to staff on SOPS for inspecting inlets, control structures, and outfalls, and addressing reactive illicit discharges. - Guidance on Year 1 additional requirements including interdepartmental review of stormwater/land development regulations and development of a stormwater structures inventory. These services directly support the Village's permit obligations, including SWMP implementation, inspection/IDDE support, coordinated countywide reporting, and meeting participation—elements commonly relied upon to demonstrate MS4 program implementation and annual reporting compliance.
