    GENERAL NOTICES/ERRATA

    STATE AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

    Proposed State Implementation Plan Revision

    Notice of action: The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on a proposed revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP is a plan developed by the Commonwealth in order to fulfill its responsibilities under the federal Clean Air Act to attain and maintain the ambient air quality standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Act. If adopted, the Commonwealth intends to submit the regulation or a portion thereof to the EPA as a revision to the SIP in accordance with the requirements of § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act.

    Regulations affected: The regulation of the board affected by this action is as follows: Regulation for the Control of Motor Vehicles in Northern Virginia, 9VAC5-91 (Revision VV2).

    Purpose of notice: DEQ is seeking comment on the issue of whether the regulation amendments that became effective in 1998 should be submitted as a revision to the SIP.

    Public comment period: March 12, 2012, to April 11, 2012.

    Public hearing: A public hearing may be conducted if a request is made in writing to the contact listed below. In order to be considered, the request must include the full name, address, and telephone number of the person requesting the hearing and be received by DEQ by the last day of the comment period. Notice of the date, time, and location of any requested public hearing will be announced in a separate notice and another 30-day comment period will be conducted.

    Public comment stage: The regulation amendments were adopted by the State Air Pollution Control Board on September 11, 1997, with an effective date of January 1, 1998. Since the amendments have already been adopted, DEQ is accepting comment only on the issue cited above under "purpose of notice" and not on the content of the regulation amendments.

    Description of proposal: In essence, the proposed revision consists of amendments to existing regulation provisions concerning the Regulation for the Control of Motor Vehicles in Northern Virginia. The major provisions of the proposal consist of the repeal of the following provisions: 9VAC5-91-40, Establishment of regulations; 9VAC5-91-60, Hearings and proceedings; 9VAC5-91-80, Variances; and 9VAC5-91-110, Procedural information and guidance. These provisions were moved from 9VAC5-91 into a new chapter 9VAC5-170, Regulation for General Administration.

    Federal information: This notice is being given to satisfy the public participation requirements of federal regulations (40 CFR 51.102) and not any provision of state law. Except as noted below, the proposal will be submitted as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP under § 110(a) of the federal Clean Air Act in accordance with 40 CFR 51.104. DEQ plans to submit all provisions of the proposal as a revision to the Commonwealth of Virginia SIP.

    How to comment: DEQ accepts written comments by email, fax, and postal mail. In order to be considered, comments must include the full name, address, and telephone number of the person commenting and be received by DEQ by the last day of the comment period.

    DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

    Total Maximum Daily Load for Schenks Branch, Meadow Creek, Lodge Creek, and Moores Creek Watersheds

    The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) seek written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) and Implementation Plans (IPs) for the Schenks Branch, Meadow Creek, Lodge Creek, and Moores Creek watersheds in the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County. These streams were listed on the 2006 and 2008 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report as impaired due to violations of the state's general water quality standard (benthic) for aquatic life. The benthic impairment on Schenks Branch extends 1.138 miles from the headwaters of its tributaries to the Meadow Creek confluence. Meadow Creek is benthically impaired from where it becomes a perennial stream to its confluence with the Rivanna River (4 miles). The benthic impairment on Moores Creek extends 6.377 miles from its confluence with the Ragged Mountain Dam receiving stream downstream to its confluence with the Rivanna River. The Moores Creek watershed includes the tributary locally known as Lodge Creek, which is benthically impaired for 1.57 miles from its headwaters to the confluence with Moores Creek.

    Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia require DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report. Section 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia requires the development of an Implementation Plan (IP) for approved TMDLs. The IP should provide measurable goals and the date of expected achievement of water quality objectives. The IP should also include the corrective actions needed and their associated costs, benefits, and environmental impacts.

    The first public meeting on the development of these TMDLs and IPs will be held on Thursday, March 15, 2012, 6 p.m. at CitySpace on Charlottesville's Downtown Mall, 100 5th Street NE, Charlottesville, VA 22902-5230.

    The public comment period for the first public meeting will end on April 16, 2012. Written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to Tara Sieber, Department of Environmental Quality, 4411 Early Road, P.O. Box 3000, Harrisonburg, VA 22801, telephone (540) 574-7870, FAX (540) 574-7878, or email tara.sieber@deq.virginia.gov.

    Total Maximum Daily Loads and Implementation Plans for Long Meadow Run and Turley Creek

    The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) seek written and oral comments from interested persons on the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) and Implementation Plans (IPs) for Long Meadow Run and Turley Creek in Rockingham County. These streams were listed in 2002 as impaired due to violations of the state's general water quality standard (benthic) for aquatic life. The aquatic life impairment on Long Meadow Run extends from its headwaters to the confluence with the North Fork Shenandoah River, which is a total of 8.53 miles. The Turley Creek aquatic life impairment extends a total of 4.01 miles from its headwaters to the confluence with the North Fork Shenandoah River.

    Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act and § 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia require DEQ to develop TMDLs for pollutants responsible for each impaired water contained in Virginia's § 303(d) TMDL Priority List and Report. Section 62.1-44.19:7 C of the Code of Virginia requires the development of an Implementation Plan (IP) for approved TMDLs. The IP should provide measurable goals and the date of expected achievement of water quality objectives. The IP should also include the corrective actions needed and their associated costs, benefits, and environmental impacts.

    The second public meeting on the development of these TMDLs and IPs will be held on Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 7 p.m. at J. Frank Hillyard Middle School, 226 Hawks Hill Drive, Broadway, VA 22815. The TMDL document will be available on the DEQ website the day of the meeting for public comment and review: https://www.deq.virginia.gov/TMDLDataSearch/DraftReports.jspx.

    The public comment period for the second public meeting will end on April 23, 2012. Written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the person submitting the comments and should be sent to Tara Sieber, Department of Environmental Quality, 4411 Early Road, P.O.

    Notice of Bacteria TMDL Modification of James River and Tributaries - Lower Piedmont Region in Goochland, Fluvanna, Louisa, Powhatan, and Cumberland Counties, Virginia

    The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) seeks public comment from interested persons on 4 proposed minor modifications of the total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) developed for impaired segment: Beaverdam Creek.

    A total maximum daily load (TMDL) of E. coli was developed to address the bacterial impairments in the James River and Tributaries - Lower Piedmont Region in Goochland, Fluvanna, Louisa, Powhatan, and Cumberland Counties. This TMDL was approved by the Environmental Protection Agency on June 11, 2008. The report is available at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/ tmdl/apptmdls/jamesrvr/jmsgrp2.pdf. DEQ issued a notice of modification for minor modifications from November 7, 2011, to December 7, 2011. No comments were received. In addition to the three modifications included previously for the Beaverdam Creek TMDL, DEQ is proposing one additional modification and seeks written comments from interested persons.

    In November 2011, three modifications were proposed for the Beaverdam Creek TMDL. First, DEQ proposed to remove facility Huguenot Academy (VA0063037), which should not have been given a waste load allocation (WLA) in the Beaverdam Creek TMDL because it discharges to the Fine Creek drainage. DEQ suggested the WLA of 6.96E+09 (cfu/yr) E. coli, based on a maximum discharge of 0.004 million gallons per day (MGD), be added to the "Future Growth" load for the Beaverdam Creek TMDL. Second, DEQ proposed to remove facility James River Correctional Center (VA0020681), which no longer discharges to Beaverdam Creek. DEQ suggested the WLA of 3.76E+11 (cfu/yr) E. coli, based on a maximum discharge of 0.216 MGD, be added to the "Future Growth" load for Beaverdam Creek. Third, DEQ proposed to add a new WLA, Oilville Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) (VA0092428), which is a municipal facility with a maximum discharge of 0.3 MGD, and suggested allocation by subtracting from the "Future Growth" load of Beaverdam Creek. The WLA to be assigned to this facility based on design flow at the standard is equal to 5.23E+11 (cfu/yr) E. coli.

    The new proposed modification is related to the original Future Growth calculation, which was five times the WLA of dischargers (James River Correctional Center (VA0020681), VDOT Interstate 64 Goochland Rest Area (VA0023108), Huguenot Academy (VA0063037), and James River Correctional Center (VA0006149)), and equal to 2.61E+12 (cfu/yr) E. coli. This Future Growth value is 32% of the TMDL, which is relatively excessive when compared to the majority of Virginia TMDLs, whose Future Growth values are usually <10% of the TMDL. Out of the four original facilities given WLAs, only the VDOT facility remains and a new facility will begin discharging (Oilville WWTP #VA0092428). DEQ proposes to revise the Future Growth to a new value of two times the WLA of the new Oilville WWTP, equal to 1.05E+12 (cfu/yr) E. coli. The revised Future Growth would be equal to 12.8% of the TMDL, which DEQ believes is a more reasonable number of future growth reserve as a portion of the overall TMDL. The difference in old and new Future Growth will be moved to the Load Allocation (LA) (nonpoint source category). The total revised WLA will be equal to 5.57E+11 and the total revised LA will be equal to 6.54E+12, (cfu/yr) E. coli, respectively. The proposed changes for the Beaverdam Creek TMDL are equal to <1.0%.

    The proposed WLA changes above will neither cause nor contribute to the nonattainment of the James River basin.

    The public comment period for these modifications will end on April 16, 2012. Please send comments to Margaret Smigo, Department of Environmental Quality, Piedmont Regional Office, 4969-A Cox Road, Glen Allen, VA 23060, by email at margaret.smigo@deq.virginia.gov, or FAX at (804) 527-5106. Following the comment period, a modification letter and any comments received will be sent to EPA for final approval.

    Bacteria TMDL Modification of James River and Tributaries - Hopewell to Westover in Chesterfield, Charles City, Prince George, and Hopewell, Virginia

    The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) would like to inform the public of a retraction of previously proposed minor modifications of the total maximum daily load (TMDL) developed for the James River (tidal) segment.

    A total maximum daily load of E. coli was developed to address the bacterial impairments in the James River and Tributaries - Hopewell to Westover in Chesterfield, Charles City, Prince George, and Hopewell, Virginia. This TMDL was approved by the Environmental Protection Agency on July 10, 2008. A modification to remove an unnecessary WLA and add to future growth in James River segment was approved on July 7, 2009. The report and previous modification are available by searching the approved TMDL reports page at https://www.deq.virginia.gov/TMDLDataSearch/DraftReports.jspx. A public comment period was held for proposed modifications from October 10, 2011, to November 10, 2011. One comment was received in support of DEQ's proposed actions. DEQ would like to provide notification regarding the redacted changes and seeks comments from interested persons.

    DEQ previously proposed eight modifications for the James River (tidal) TMDL. DEQ proposes to now retract the proposed modification to assign a waste load allocation (WLA) for existing facility Rock Tenn (formerly known as Smurfit Stone Container Corporation, permit #VA0004642), an industrial facility with a maximum discharge of 0.288 MGD (at outfall 002). A limit for E. coli in the permit was considered because a sample submitted by the facility as part of their permit reissuance indicated the presence of bacteria.  The sample, taken from an outfall receiving car-rinse water, is believed to be caused by wildlife. Bacteria runoff from wildlife sources at the site is already modeled in the Load Allocation (LA) (nonpoint source category). For this reason, DEQ believes the proposed WLA for the facility based on the design flow at the standard of 5.01E+11 colony forming units per year (cfu/yr) E. coli is unnecessary. Therefore, the loading will not be allocated to the facility or removed from Future Growth.

    Current DEQ guidance on TMDL modifications instructs regions to track the addition or subtraction of Single Family Home General Permits (SFHGPs), rather than modifying the TMDL for each change, providing the additions or subtractions are in compliance with the TMDL and future growth loading. Therefore, the remaining proposed modifications included in the previous notice will not be pursued with EPA at this time. These modifications included the addition of five new WLAs for domestic dischargers VAG404083 (UT Walls Run), VAG404132 (Parish Hill Creek), VAG404199 (James River), VAG404270 (UT James River), and VAG404271 (UT James River), which are single family home facilities, each with a design flow each of 0.001 million gallons per day (MGD). The WLA that was to be assigned to each facility based on design flow at the standard is equal to 1.75E+09 (cfu/yr) E. coli. For modifications 7 and 8, DEQ proposed to remove the WLA assigned to two single family home permits, VAG404131 and VAG404215, which are no longer in operation. Their respective WLAs of 1.75E+09 (cfu/yr) E.coli (each) were to be added to "Future Growth" load. The combined revised "Future Growth" load in the James River (tidal) TMDL as a result of these modifications was to be equal to 7.66E+14 (cfu/yr) E. coli. 

    DEQ also proposed two modifications to Powell Creek in the previous public notice. The first was to add a domestic discharger (VAG404083), which is a SFHGP with a design flow of 0.001 million gallons per day (MGD), and assign a waste load allocation (WLA) of 1.75E+09 colony forming units per year (cfu/yr) for E. coli in the Powell Creek TMDL. The second modification is to remove domestic discharger VAG404131, which is a single family home facility with a WLA of 1.75E+09 (cfu/yr) E.coli that is no longer in operation.  The addition of one discharger and subtraction of another would equal a net change of 0% of the Powell Creek TMDL. Again, DEQ proposes to track these SFHGP changes rather than formally modify the TMDL at this time.

    In summary, no formal modification will be pursued for the James River and Tributaries - Hopewell to Westover TMDL at this time. The addition and subtraction of SFHGPs will be tracked internally at DEQ to ensure compliance with the TMDL.

    The public comment period for the retraction will end on April 16, 2012.

    DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES

    Construction Management Procedures as Adopted by the Secretary of Administration

    In accordance with the provision of § 2.2-4306 of the Code of Virginia, the Secretary of Administration hereby adopts the following procedures for the procurement of construction management (CM) contracts, as defined in § 2.2-4301 of the Code of Virginia, which shall be followed by all departments, agencies, and institutions of the Commonwealth (each of which is hereinafter referred to as the "agency"). These procedures shall be effective March 1, 2012.

    A. LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: Under the authority of § 2.2-4306 of the Code of Virginia, the Commonwealth may enter into a contract with a construction manager (CM) in accordance with these procedures and § 2.2-1502 of the Code of Virginia. Under the authority of § 2.2-4303 D 1 of the Code of Virginia, an agency is authorized to use competitive negotiations to procure CM contracts when it determines in advance, and sets forth in writing, that competitive sealed bidding is either not practicable or not fiscally advantageous to the public, which writing shall document the basis for this determination.

    B. CRITERIA FOR USE OF CM: CM contracts may be approved for use on projects where 1) fast tracking of construction is needed to meet agency program requirements, or 2) value engineering and/or constructability analyses concurrent with design are required.

    The use of CM shall be limited to projects with a construction value that is in excess of $10,000,000. With proper justification for small complex projects, the Director of the Division of Engineering and Buildings (director) may grant a waiver of this requirement.

    C. PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL TO USE CM: Prior to taking any further action, the agency shall request authority in writing and receive approval from the director to use a CM contract.

    The request shall justify and substantiate that a CM contract meets the criteria found in paragraph B. The request must also include the stipulation that the CM contract will be initiated no later than the schematic phase of design. The request shall also include a written justification that competitive sealed bidding is not practical and/or fiscally advantageous.

    Approval of exceptions to this policy may be granted by the director, who is the approving authority for requests to use CM procedures.

    D. CM SELECTION PROCEDURES:

    1. The agency shall appoint an Evaluation Committee (committee) which shall consist of at least three members from the agency, including a registered design professional, if possible. The committee shall include a licensed professional engineer or architect provided by the Division of Engineering and Buildings. The agency shall contact the section in the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) representing the Division of Engineering and Buildings (currently the Real Estate and Land Use Section) to determine whether a representative from the OAG should be involved.

    2. The basis of the award of the contract shall be in accordance with § 2.2-4301 (3) (b) of the Code of Virginia and the criteria for the award shall be submitted to the director, in advance, for approval. Cost shall be a critical component of the selection criteria.

    3. Selection of qualified offerors (Step I): On projects approved for CM, the agency shall conduct a prequalification process as follows to determine which offerors are qualified to submit proposals.

    a) The agency shall post a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) in accordance with the current standards for the posting of public bids in the Code of Virginia and in accordance with the latest edition of the Construction and Professional Services Manual.

    b) The committee shall evaluate each responding firm's submittals and any other relevant information and shall determine those deemed qualified with respect to the criteria established for the project.

    c) An offeror may be denied prequalification only as specified under § 2.2-4317 of the Code of Virginia.

    d) At least 30 days prior to the date established for the submission of proposals, the agency shall advise in writing each offeror that sought prequalification whether that offeror has been prequalified. In the event that an offeror is denied prequalification, the written notification to such offeror shall state the reasons for such denial of prequalification and the factual basis of such reasons.

    e) In addition to the procedures described above for prequalifying firms for individual CM projects, the director may approve requests to prequalify construction managers for particular types of construction projects in accordance with § 2.2-4317 of the Code of Virginia. Firms qualified under that approval may compete for projects of the same type for which they qualified unless the director determines that further prequalification for a particular project is desirable.

    4. Selection of a construction manager (Step II):

    a) The committee will send a Request for Proposal (RFP) to each of the prequalified firms and request submission of formal proposals from them.

    b) The committee will evaluate and rank the proposals and conduct negotiations with two or more offerors submitting the best proposals. Should the agency determine, in writing and at its sole discretion, that only one offeror is fully qualified or that one offeror is clearly more highly qualified than the others under consideration, a contract may be negotiated with that offeror after approval of the director.

    c) The committee shall make its recommendation on the selection of a construction manager to the agency head based on its evaluations and negotiations. The contract shall be awarded to the offeror who is fully qualified, has submitted an acceptable proposal, and has been determined to provide the best value in response to the RFP. When the terms and conditions for multiple awards are so provided in the RFP, awards may be made to more than one offeror.

    d) The agency shall notify the Division of Engineering and Buildings of its selection of the construction manager and shall request authority to award a contract by submission of form DGS-30-058, CO-8, Approval to Award Construction Contract, and supporting documents to the Bureau of Capital Outlay Management via email to coforms@dgs.virginia.gov.

    e) Award of the CM contract shall be made to the offeror selected.

    f) The agency will notify all offerors who submitted proposals which offeror was selected for the project.

    E. REQUIRED CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT CONTRACT TERMS: Any guaranteed maximum price construction management contract entered into by any agency will contain provisions requiring that (1) not more than 10% of the construction work (measured by cost of the work) will be performed by the CM with its own forces and (2) that the remaining 90% of the construction work will be performed by subcontractors of the CM which the CM must procure by publicly advertised, competitive sealed bidding. In extraordinary circumstances the director may grant a waiver of these contractual requirements in whole or in part.

    F. The guaranteed maximum price shall be established at the completion of working drawings unless a waiver has been granted to this requirement by the director.

    G. An agency may request from the director approval to perform a one-step solicitation for its project. If adequate justification is provided, the director may approve the request.

    H. Any institution of higher education with authority for capital projects pursuant to the Restructured Higher Education Financial and Administrative Operations Act may utilize these procedures or such other procedures as they may have adopted pursuant to any signed memorandum of agreement.

    I. The Code of Virginia requires other public bodies planning to use CM to adopt guidelines consistent with the above procedures. A key difference is that steps requiring the approval or involvement of the Director of the Division of Engineering and Buildings will instead seek the approval or involvement of the appropriate authority as directed by the governing body of the public body. Before implementing CM, such public body must have the required professional staff and meet the material requirements of § 2.2-4308 of the Code of Virginia. It should also be noted that certain procedures incorporated above are mandated by the Code of Virginia for state agencies. Other public bodies may not be required to adopt identical standards, but their procedures are required to be consistent with these.

    Design-Build Procedures as Adopted by the Secretary of Administration

    In accordance with the provisions of § 2.2-4306 of the Code of Virginia, the Secretary of Administration hereby adopts the following procedures for the procurement of design-build (D/B) contracts, as defined in § 2.2-4301 of the Code of Virginia, which shall be followed by all departments, agencies, and institutions of the Commonwealth (each of which is hereinafter referred to as an "agency"). These procedures shall be effective March 1, 2012.

    A. LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY: Under the authority of § 2.2-4306 of the Code of Virginia, the Commonwealth may contract to secure D/B projects on a fixed price basis in accordance with these procedures and the regulations adopted pursuant to § 2.2-1502 of the Code of Virginia. Under the authority of § 2.2-4303 D 1 of the Code of Virginia, an agency is authorized to use competitive negotiations to procure D/B contracts when it determines in advance, and sets forth in writing, that competitive sealed bidding is either not practicable or not fiscally advantageous to the public, which writing shall document the basis for this determination.

    B. CRITERIA FOR USE OF D/B CONTRACTS: D/B contracts are intended to minimize the project risk for an owner and to reduce the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project.

    C. PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL TO USE D/B: Prior to taking any action, the agency shall request authority, in writing and receive approval from the Director of the Division of Engineering and Buildings (director), to use a D/B contract.

    The request shall justify and substantiate that D/B is more advantageous than a competitive sealed bid construction contract with a general contractor and shall indicate how the Commonwealth will benefit from using D/B. The request shall also include a written justification that competitive sealed bidding is not practical and/or fiscally advantageous.

    Approval of exceptions to this policy may be granted by the director, who is the approving authority for requests to use D/B procedures.

    D. D/B SELECTION PROCEDURES: On projects approved for D/B, procurement of the contract shall be a two-step competitive negotiation process. The following procedures shall be used in selecting a design-builder and awarding a contract:

    1. The agency shall appoint an Evaluation Committee ("committee") which shall consist of at least three members from the agency, including a registered design professional, if possible. The committee shall include a registered design professional provided by the Division of Engineering and Buildings. The agency shall contact the section in the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) representing the Division of Engineering and Buildings (currently the Real Estate and Land Use Section) to determine whether a representative from the OAG should be involved.

    2. The basis of the award of the contract shall be in accordance with § 2.2-4301 (3) (b) of the Code of Virginia and the criteria for the award shall be submitted to the director, in advance, for approval. Cost shall be a critical component of the selection criteria.

    3. Selection of qualified offerors (Step I):

    On projects approved for D/B, the agency shall conduct a prequalification process as follows to determine which offerors are qualified to submit proposals.

    a) The agency shall prepare a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) containing the agency's facility requirements, building and site criteria, site and survey data (if available), the criteria to be used to evaluate submittals and other relevant information, including any unique capabilities or qualifications that will be required of the contractor.

    b) The RFQ shall be posted in accordance with the current standards for the posting of public bids in the Code of Virginia and in accordance with the latest edition of the Construction and Professional Services Manual.

    c) The committee shall evaluate each responding firm's submittals and any other relevant information and shall determine those deemed qualified with respect to the criteria established for the project.

    d) An offeror may be denied prequalification only as specified under § 2.2-4317 of the Code of Virginia.

    e) At least 30 days prior to the date established for the submission of proposals, the agency shall advise in writing each offeror that sought prequalification whether that offeror has been prequalified. In the event that an offeror is denied prequalification, the written notification to such offeror shall state the reasons for such denial of prequalification and the factual basis of such reasons.

    4. Selection of design-build contractor (Step II):

    a) The agency will send a Request for Proposal (RFP) to at least two*, and up to five, of the D/B offerors deemed most suitable for the project, from those selected by the committee. Sealed technical proposals as described in the RFP will be submitted to the committee. Separately-sealed cost proposals will be submitted to the agency's Virginia construction contracting officer (VCCO), and shall be secured by and kept sealed until evaluation of the technical proposals and the design development negotiations are completed.

    * Should the agency determine, in writing and in its sole discretion, that only one offeror is fully qualified or that one offeror is clearly more highly qualified than the others under consideration, a contract may be negotiated with that offeror after approval of the director.

    b) The committee will evaluate the technical proposals based on the criteria contained in the RFP. It will inform each D/B offeror of any adjustments necessary to make its technical proposal fully comply with the requirements of the RFP. In addition, the agency may require that offerors make design adjustments necessary to incorporate project improvements and/or additional detailed information identified by the committee during design development.

    c) Based on the revisions made to the technical proposals, the committee and an offeror may negotiate additive and deductive amendments to the offeror's cost proposals. In addition, an offeror may submit cost deductions from its original sealed cost proposal that are not based upon revisions to the technical proposals. When the terms and conditions for multiple awards are so provided in the RFP, awards may be made to more than one offeror.

    d) The committee shall make its recommendation on the selection of a design-builder to the agency head based on its evaluations and negotiations. The contract shall be awarded to the offeror who is fully qualified, has submitted an acceptable proposal and has been determined provide the best value in response to the RFP.

    e) The agency shall notify the Division of Engineering and Buildings of its selection of the design-builder and shall request authority to award a contract by submission of form DGS-30-058, CO-8, Approval to Award Construction Contract and supporting documents, to the Bureau of Capital Outlay Management via email to coforms@dgs.virginia.gov.

    f) Award of the D/B contract shall be made to the offeror selected.

    g) The agency will notify all offerors who submitted proposals which offeror was selected for the project.

    E. Any institution of higher education with authority for capital projects pursuant to the Restructured Higher Education Financial and Administrative Operations Act, may utilize these procedures or such other procedures as they may have adopted pursuant to any signed memorandum of agreement.

    F. The Code of Virginia requires other public bodies planning to use D/B to adopt guidelines consistent with the above procedures. A key difference is that steps requiring the approval or involvement of the Director of the Division of Engineering and Buildings will instead seek the approval or involvement of the appropriate authority, as directed by the governing body of the public body.

    Approval of Water Quality Management Planning Actions

    Notice of action: The State Water Control Board (board) is considering the approval of five Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) reports and four TMDL modifications, and granting authorization to include the TMDL reports and modifications in the appropriate Water Quality Management Plans (WQMPs).

    Purpose of notice: The board is seeking comment on the proposed approvals and authorizations. The purpose of these actions is to approve five TMDL reports and four TMDL modifications as Virginia's plans for the pollutant reductions necessary for attainment of water quality goals in several impaired waterbodies. These actions are taken in accordance with the Public Participation Procedures for Water Quality Management Planning.

    Public comment period: March 12, 2012, to April 12, 2012.

    Description of proposed action: DEQ staff intends to recommend (i) that the DEQ director approve the TMDL reports and TMDL modifications listed below as Virginia's plans for the pollutant reductions necessary for attainment of water quality goals in the impaired segments and (ii) that the DEQ director authorize inclusion of the TMDL reports and TMDL modifications in the appropriate WQMPs. No regulatory amendments are required for these TMDLs and their associated waste load allocations.

    At previous meetings, the board voted unanimously to delegate to the DEQ director the authority to approve TMDLs that do not include waste load allocations requiring regulatory adoption by the board, provided that a summary report of the action the director plans to take is presented to the board prior to the director approving the TMDL reports. The TMDLs included in this public notice will be approved using this delegation of authority.

    The TMDLs listed below were developed in accordance with federal regulations (40 CFR § 130.7) and are exempt from the provisions of Article 2 (§ 2.2-4006 et seq.) of the Virginia Administrative Process Act. The TMDLs have been through the TMDL public participation process contained in DEQ's Public Participation Procedures for Water Quality Management Planning. The public comment process provides the affected stakeholders an opportunity for public appeal of the TMDLs. EPA approved all TMDL reports presented under this public notice. The approved reports can be found at https://www.deq.virginia.gov/TMDLDataSearch/ReportSearch.jspx.
