City_BMP_Evaluation_Form.pdf

This is a Quarterly BMP (Best Management Practices) Evaluation Form from the City of Santa Cruz used to assess graffiti removal operations during maintenance activities in Fiscal Year 2026. The form documents compliance with environmental and operational standards for the first quarter (July through September) and requires evaluation personnel to identify potential problems and document which BMPs were implemented during graffiti removal work. The evaluation addresses specific maintenance concerns including dust or runoff to streets or storm drain systems, paint-over versus power washing methods, protection of nearby inlets, runoff containment and collection, proper cleanup of spills, and paint brush and container cleaning procedures.

The form serves as a monitoring and compliance tool for the City's graffiti abatement services contract, which encompasses paint application (up to 99% color match), water or pressure washing, and chemical abatement treatments on various surfaces including sidewalks, bridges, medians, paths, fences, light poles, street signs, trees, and sewer outlets throughout Santa Cruz city limits and water services areas outside city limits. The BMP evaluation process ensures that contractors performing graffiti removal maintain environmental compliance standards and proper maintenance practices, with evaluators required to document specific site locations when potential problems are observed and explain any instances where recommended BMPs were not utilized during the maintenance activity.
