SUMMARY
This report recommends approval of a contract with G2 Construction, Inc. for the construction of the Citywide Full Trash Capture Device Installation project for the purchase and installation of new metal connector pipe screen units within existing storm drain catch basins to filter out debris and trash from stormwater run off to protect downstream storm drain systems. This project is funded by Storm Water Management (Fund 2008) and included in the adopted Capital Improvement Plan Fiscal Years 2023 - 24 and 2024-25.
DISCUSSION
The City has identified approximately 970 catch basins in various locations that would meet high -priority criteria for Full Trash Capture Device installation based upon State guidelines and mandates. This project entails purchasing and installing metal connector pipe screen units within existing storm drain catch basins. These screens filter out debris and trash from stormwater runoff to protect downstream storm drain systems and receiving bodies of water, from pollution per California State Water Resources Control Board mandates. This project aims to install connector pipe screen units for the first initial 370 catch basins. The remaining 600 catch basin screening units will be targeted for installation over a period of four years, in line with said State mandates and deadlines.
The design of this proje ct was completed in -house by engineering staff and advertised for construction bids on December 10, 2024. As identified in the bid documents, the scope of work for this project includes a base bid and two additive bids to maximize utilization of available funds, depending on the bid results. Formal bidding procedures were followed in conformance with the Public Contract Code. Staff received two bids from G2 Construction, Inc. ( total bid amount at $409,800) and Downstream Services, Inc. ( total bid amount at $831,683) via the electronic bidding management system, OpenGov.com, on January 10, 2025.
Staff has reviewed the bid by G2 Construction, Inc. and finds it to be a responsive and responsible bidder in possession of a valid license and bid bond. No outstan ding issues were identified through review of the references submitted by G2 Construction, Inc. in their bid. Staff recommends the award of the contract and issuance of a purchase order to G2 Construction, Inc. in the amount of $423,280 which includes Base Bid and Additive Bid No. 1 amount of $384,800 plus a contingency of 1 0%. The contingency amount ($38,480) is recommended to account for any latent or unforeseen circumstances or site changes at certain locations encountered during construction that may require additional efforts to complete the work.
Approval of the recommended actions would support Objective 4 of the Momentum MoVal Strategic Plan: “Manage and maximize Moreno Valley’s public infrastructure to ensure an excellent quality of life, develop an d implement innovative, cost -effective infrastructure maintenance programs, public facilities management strategies, and capital improvement programming and project delivery.”

ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve and authorize the recommended actions as presented in this staff report.
This alternative will provide for the timely construction of much needed full trash capture devices in Citywide storm drain system inlets to meet State mandates .
Staff recommends this alternative.
2. Do not approve and authorize the recommended actions as presented in this staff report. This result will delay the State mandated trash capture program. Staff does not recommend this alternative as it will delay the construction of needed full trash capture devices and may result in higher future installation costs and fines.
