Dear Ms. Kerr,
HMH staff appreciates the opportunity to present this Statement of Qualifications and we look forward to continuing our
thorough working experience with the Santa Clara Valley Urban Runoff Pollution Prevention Program (SCVURPPP).
HMH’s multi-disciplinary team has proven experience delivering public and private development projects in Silicon Valley.
This experience is supplemented by our client-focused approach and working relationships with SCVURPPP staff. This
document will reinforce our team and provide ample evidence that HMH is qualified to design or review and inspect storm
water treatment measures as well as hydromodification control facilities for new development or redevelopment projects.
Over the past few years HMH staff has performed work on numerous storm water treatment BMPs and hydromodification
flow control facilities projects in and for Santa Clara County, and throughout the west coast. Our staff has experience
complying with local, regional and State MS4 requirements and the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) current
Clean Water Act requirements. From residential, commercial, market-ready, transportation, and streetscape improvements,
HMH is capable of handling large and small-scale projects to satisfy the goals of SCVURPPP and the Santa Clara County
community. I, Zeferino Jimenez, PE, will continue to serve as HMH’s Quality Control and Quality Assurance Principal-In-
Charge. Both Alan Le (PE, QSD/P and CPESC) and Vitina Mandella (PE, LEED AP, QSD/P, QISP) will serve as HMH’s
Project Managers for all storm water related projects.
HMH is proud of our record performing quality work that is both on time and within budget. For each project, we
implement project oversight by HMH Principals, utilize well trained staff, and execute extensive coordination with affected
agencies to meet project milestones and critical deadlines. With a permanent staff of over 80 engineers, surveyors,

RELEVANT PROJECT INVOLVEMENT
Hydrology and Pump Station Design, Oregon72 acre commercial brownfield that underwent remediation and soil removal prior to
development of 20 acre warehouse building. Vitina lead the design of 4 industrial pump stations
to lift the stormwater from the grade level of the entire site to the existing storm drain system in the
streets. Provided detailed modeling of the existing storm drain and proposed site converted 76
percent of the site from pervious to impervious surfaces. Provided the stormwater management
design for the entire site run-off.
St. Anton Place, Menlo Park, CA10 acre industrial property that was redeveloped into 394 apartment units. The sites location is
directly adjacent to the San Francisco Bay, slough and levee system with flood gates
protecting the site from high tides. Vitina performed hydraulic modeling and design to retain the
85th percentile storm during the event due to the public storm drain being over capacity and the
offsite overland release pattern running through the site. The site also required raising the finished
floors above the floodplain elevation and modeling the overland release patterns to ensure
flooding did not occur upstream of the site. For these reasons the site implemented regional
stormwater management facilities that were sized to treat a majority of the stormwater runoff from
the site after the storm event had passed.
Equinix Expansion, San Jose, CAExpansion of Equinix Data Center in south San Jose. Site’s location is in the hydromodification
zone and required onsite underground detention systems in addition to the at grade bio-retention
planters. Vitina performed a 3rd party review of the sites hydrology report and detention
calculations for the client. She also performed during construction erosion control inspections for
the risk level II Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and installation of the detention
system and planters.

FIRM’S
UNDERSTANDING
SCVURPPP STORM WATER TREATMENT MEASURES & HYDROMODIFICATION CONTROL FACILITIES
HMH is a full-service engineering firm with the experience and staff to maintain our status on the SCVURPPP Qualified
Consultants list. The following sections of this document will outline HMH’s strengths and key aspects of our approach to
stormwater treatment design, review and inspection.
KEY STAFF ROLES AND AVAILABILITY
Our staff includes 17 Professional Engineers registered in California, a Certified Professional in Stormwater Quality
(CPSWQ), a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC), a Qualified Industrial SWPPP Practitioner
(QISP) and 3 Qualified SWPPP Developers (QSD) who deliver dependable support and consultation to guide clients from
the entitlement through construction phases of development projects.
Zef Jimenez will be the principal in charge of design, review, certification and inspection of stormwater treatment best
management practices and hydromodification management facilities. Zef will be supported by a team of qualified
engineers who specialize in stormwater management lead by Vitina Mandella, Alan Le and Megan Cronan. Vitina, Alan
and Megan are members of three different departments at HMH (land planning, land development and public works,
respectively) which provides a multi-disciplinary approach to stormwater design, review and implementation. With
trained stormwater review staff in these three key specialties, HMH has the staff and experience to respond appropriately
to a variety of stormwater projects. Our stormwater team members average over 10 years of experience each in design
and review of stormwater treatment measures and have been stormwater reviewers for various local cities. Our flexible
staffing and shared resources allow us to aggressively respond and deliver stormwater projects. Additional information
about HMH’s Stormwater review staff is included in the Resumes and Certification Tab.
URBAN STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
HMH is committed to providing quality civil engineering, land planning and landscape architecture services to private and
public sector clients on projects of varying size and complexity. HMH prepares stormwater management plans that are
consistent with Provision C.3 requirements and tailored to the specific standards of the local agencies. HMH relies on its
years of experience in the field and its team of stormwater experts, civil engineers, land planners and landscape architects
to provide NPDES support services for private and public sector clients throughout the Bay Area.
HMH has a thorough working knowledge of the Municipal Regional Permit (NPDES Permit No. CAS612008, Order No.
R2-2009-0074) and subsequent Amendment (Order No. R2-2011-0083), which contains amended C.3 provisions
implementing mandatory Low Impact Development (LID) measures, Special Projects criteria and their corresponding LID
treatment reduction credits, green roof design and bioretention soil media specifications, and Hydromodification
Management requirements for Santa Clara County. Since the adoption of Order No. R2-2011-0083 by the San
Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board in November 2011, HMH has developed Stormwater Control Plans
for numerous development proposals categorized as Special Projects, and/or requiring the use of bioretention measures.
HMH has ongoing and recently completed projects in Campbell, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Mountain View, San
Jose, Santa Clara, Saratoga, Sunnyvale and the County of Santa Clara.
HMH prepares plans, reports and specifications related to C.3 compliance for applicant submittals to permitting agencies
within SCVURPPP jurisdiction. HMH also peer reviews plans, documents and specifications prepared by others for
conformance with C.3 provisions, and will identify and provide written documentation of non-compliant issues. The services
we provide typically include site design and source control strategies, treatment facility design and numeric sizing
calculations for flow and volume-based facilities. In cases where a project is subject to hydromodification requirements,
26
SCVURPPP STORM WATER TREATMENT MEASURES & HYDROMODIFICATION CONTROL FACILITIES
HMH will review proposed detention facility designs utilizing hydrology models developed to compare pre-development
to post-development flows (specifically, the BAHM model), and prepare detention sizing calculations to mitigate increased
flows.
Through its CASQA membership and participation in the CASQA BMP Subcommittee and annual conferences, HMH
stays abreast of current issues and developments involving stormwater regulations at the State level, as well as the latest
technological advances.
HMH has maintained close professional relationships with local public agencies. We seek to actively engage local public
agency staff and consultants though collaboration with professional organizations such as the American Planning
Association to sponsor outreach events related to stormwater management and other sustainability-related topics. In the
last two years, HMH worked closely with City of San Jose staff to assist with the City’ss update of their stormwater standard
notes and details and well as provide input and feedback on the City’s internal staff training program for stormwater design
review. Our ability to network through personal relationships with stormwater industry professionals and agency personnel
enables effective coordination for the timely and accurate completion of tasks and delivery of work products. Our goal is to
find solutions agreeable to both project applicants and permitting agencies.
HMH’s experience in stormwater management and involvement in both the private and public sectors place us in a prime
position to provide third party review services that balance the interests of both parties while adhering to State and
Regional codes.
CONTINUOUS STIMULATION HYDRAULIC MODELS
Provision C.3.g of the Municipal Regional Permit requires that projects subject to the Hydromodification Management
(HM) Standard must prevent stormwater discharges from increasing the erosion potential of the receiving stream over the
pre-project condition. Such projects must demonstrate that post-project runoff does not exceed estimated pre-project
runoff rates and durations.
While the inclusion of LID measures and landscape-based treatment controls in the project design can contribute to a
reduction in post-project flows and volumes, they should be used in conjunction with a flow duration control facility to
achieve compliance with the HM standard. Detention facilities can be designed to function as flow duration control
facilities by using continuous simulation hydrologic models that simulate runoff under pre-project and post-project
conditions, generate flow-duration curves, and provide sizing requirements for the facility and its outlet structures. The
basic function of the flow duration control facility is to detain and slowly release that portion of the post-project runoff that
constitutes the increase in volume between the pre-project and post-project condition. The facility should be designed so
that the discharge pattern resulting from the model run matches the pre-project flow-duration curve.
HMH’s stormwater management team includes staff that have received training in the use of continuous simulation models,
including the most recent version of Bay Area Hydrology Model (BAHM 2013). HMH staff have been using the BAHM
model to properly size surface and underground detention storage facilities for development projects located in South Bay
communities including San Jose, Fremont and Los Gatos since 2009.

SCVURPPP STORM WATER TREATMENT MEASURES & HYDROMODIFICATION CONTROL FACILITIES
ON-SITE THIRD-PARTY INSPECTIONS
In addition to third party reviews, HMH is applying to be included on the list for consultants qualified for third-party
inspections. The increasing demand from City agencies for third-party inspection has encouraged HMH to acquire
additional staff and training to enable HMH to be qualified for this service. HMH staff has extensive experience inspecting
LID treatment facilities and have attended classes and seminars on C3 design and field inspection. We have been
providing our clients with design and inspection services of their installed post construction stormwater BMP’s for over 15
years. We provided verification that their installation was consistent with their design. Additionally, HMH staff has over 8
years’ experience performing inspections of erosion and sediment controls during construction under the NPDES General
Permit and site specific SWPPP. During these construction inspections our engineers oversaw the installation and protection
of the post construction BMP’s and performed final installation and operation inspections of the post construction BMP’s. In
addition, HMH staff has assisted industrial site owners with inspections of installed BMP’s demonstrating high effluent levels.
Our staff provided the design and oversaw the installation of revised and/or additional treatment controls to reduce the
effluent levels to below the Numeric Action Level (NAL) bringing the site into compliance under the State’s Industrial
Stormwater Permit.

Size120 acres
Duration2011-Present
For over fifty years, this site has been the home of The Flea Market, providing for its evolution from a small swap meet to a well-known landmark that included over 6,000 vendors, attracting over four million visitors annually. With changing surrounding land uses and the BART extension to the immediately adjacent Berryessa station, the site’s best use has also evolved.
This master-planned, mixed use transit village is the most significant project in Silicon Valley. The 120-acre site has been planned to include up to 2,800 urban residential units (ranging from single-family detached to high rise towers), mixed use and commercial developments, parks, regional trails, a school, and riparian open space along both Coyote and Penitencia Creeks. Significant on-site and off-site infrastructure is required as part of the development including reconstruction and widening Berryessa Road into a 6-lane arterial roadway, vehicular bridge over Penitencia Creek, complete storm drain system with regional solution for stormwater runoff mitigation, major sanitary sewer diversion pipeline, offsetting improvements to surrounding roadway, undergrounding existing overhead utilities, and contributions toward major freeway interchange improvements.
HMH is providing complete services that include Conceptual Master Plans; land use entitlement management and processing; preliminary analysis, master planning and final design for roadway and utility infrastructure; analysis and coordination with the City of San Jose for Citywide Master Utility Plan integration, analysis, layout, feasibility studies, and design for negotiated off-site improvements; design and integration of regional stormwater mitigation facilities; Landscape Architectural design for community open space, trails, and private development; topographic surveys, mapping, and construction staking; and coordination between land owner and developers.
The first phase of this project is nearly complete with 242 single-family detached and attached units. Construction of the next phase of this multi-phased, multi-year project is underway.

Size34.6 acres
Duration2001-Present
This prominent site, located in the center of Santa Clara Valley, boasts a rich history
of discovery, hard work and success. This small group of hills in San Jose has hosted
Tamien people in search of chert, grazing cattle on a dairy farm, AT&T and County
communications facilities, and miners in search of raw construction material and
minerals.
In 1991, the Communications Hill Specific Plan was adopted by the City of San Jose,
creating the groundwork for smart growth development with a new future to host a
master plan to create higher density housing with walkable outdoor amenities that tie
into regional transportation. Now, much of the vision has been built (most of the
design has been performed by HMH), but the last phase of the residential
construction is most significant. The remaining 332 acres will include up to 2,075
residential units, mixed use development with 67,000 square feet of commercial
space, a school, parks, trails, open space, and a 55-acre industrial park for up to
1,440,000 square feet.
HMH is providing complete services that include conceptual site and grading plans;
land use entitlement management and processing; preliminary and final design for
roadway and utility infrastructure; analysis and coordination with the City of San
Jose for multi-modal transportation improvements; feasibility studies, and design
for required off-site improvements; design and integration of regional stormwater
mitigation facilities; Landscape Architectural design for residential neighborhoods;
topographic surveys, mapping, and construction staking; and coordination between
owner, agencies and developers. The first of four phases is now under construction.

HMH was tasked with creating a space that was engaging, unique, team-oriented,
amenity-rich, and reflective of the design trends for office buildings in the area.
Prior to the updates, the layout of the campus had the reception areas facing
outwards, which reduced employee engagement. With the changes, the layout
of the design has it so that the reception areas are facing towards the campus. In
addition to the layout updates, the color palette was also updated to reflect a more
vibrant, young, and fresh feeling of the Silicon Valley Area.
HMH provided landscape architecture, civil engineering, land surveying, and
stormwater compliance services.
Some of the key design elements for the market-ready project include feature walls,
drought-tolerant planting, creative paver design layout, and a nature trail.
