Rivera and up to six (6) miles outside the City limits. The service is free for qualified riders.

Southland Transit, Inc. has operated the DAV program since 2012. In 2017, the original contract expired and was extended through 2018, after which services continued on a month-to-month basis. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued in 2021, and Southland Transit was officially awarded the contract again on April 22, 2022.

Additionally, the DAV program receives funding through Proposition A (Prop A) funds, a half-cent sales tax dedicated to transportation projects and administered by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro).

Discussion:

At the April 26, 2022 City Council meeting, an operations and maintenance services contract in the amount of $1,289,489 was awarded to Southland Transit, Inc. However, over the course of the fiscal years, both revenue hours and miles have increased due to rising ridership and expanded service levels. Additionally, Southland Transit, Inc. has been utilized to support Prop A approved City special events and excursions, contributing to higher monthly invoice totals. The DAV program is anticipated to continue to increase the levels of ridership, revenue hours, and miles for the remainder of the fiscal year, and will continue to be used for special events and excursions as needed.

In the first contract year, ridership increased by 2,500; in the second year, it rose by 2,126; and in the third contract year, it is anticipated to increase by 1,000. Similarly, revenue miles increased by 1,272 in the first year, by 1,838 in the second year, and are expected to increase by 500 in the third year. Lastly, total vehicle miles have shown significant growth over the past three (3) years—rising by 13,502 in the first year, 11,296 in the second year, and projected to increase by 5,000 in the third contract year.

Therefore, additional funding is needed in the estimated amount of $250,000 to continue the agreement through the end of FY 2024-25.

Additionally, the original term agreement is set to expire on June 30, 2025. Per the Term of Agreement and Time of Performance section, the City reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to award two (2) one-year extensions contingent upon exemplary contract performance. Based on Southland Transit, Inc.’s continued high-quality service, the City intends to exercise the first one-year extension for FY 2025–26 for the amount of $600,000.

Over the past three (3) years, Southland Transit, Inc. has demonstrated exemplary performance by consistently maintaining on-time service, increasing ridership, and CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2025

effectively meeting the ride reservation needs of its patrons. These accomplishments reflect the company's ongoing commitment to reliability, customer satisfaction, and operational excellence.

Conclusion:

Staff recommends that the City Council approve Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 22-2083 with Southland Transit, Inc., increasing the agreement amount by $250,000, for a revised not-to-exceed contract total of $1,539,489 for the City’s Dial-A-Van operation and maintenance services.

Staff also recommends approval of the first (1) one-year extension term of the agreement for FY 2025–26, in an amount not-to-exceed $600,000, bringing the total agreement amount to $2,139,489.

17 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF APRIL 22, 2025

GENERAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH OCEAN BLUE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES INC., FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT AND EMERGENCY

RESPONSE SERVICES

Background:

The Public Works Department responds to various hazardous materials (hazmat) service requests initiated by Code Enforcement, the Sheriff’s Department, and the Fire Department. City of Pico Rivera (City) staff frequently encounter illegally dumped items such as chemicals, paints, and other hazardous substances in alleyways, streets, and other public areas. These materials are temporarily transported to the Public Works City Yard and stored in a secure hazmat container. Under environmental regulations, all hazardous waste must be appropriately labeled, packaged, and transported offsite to an approved disposal facility at least every 90 days.

Additionally, the City requires on-call emergency hazmat response services from a certified contractor available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This service ensures continued compliance with regulations related to the cleanup of hazardous waste, including paint, oil, acids, chemical spills, bio-waste, and materials pertaining to encampment abatement.

Discussion:

Ocean Blue has offered the City the same services and rates as their current service contract with the City of Santa Fe Springs. The agreement between Ocean Blue and the City of Santa Fe Springs was posted on PlanetBids in accordance with applicable Federal, State and County requirements. The Request for Proposal (RFP) was properly noticed by the City of Santa Fe Springs beginning on July 23, 2024. Proposals were subsequently received and evaluated according to RFP criteria by an evaluation committee. The contract was awarded to Ocean Blue as the highest-rated, lowest cost, apparent responsive, and responsible proposer. The City of Santa Fe Springs entered into an agreement with Ocean Blue on November 12, 2024.

In accordance with the Pico Rivera Municipal Code, Subsection (D) of Section 3.20.030 exempts competitive bidding for purchases made “by, through, or in concert with another public agency” if the purchase complies with state laws or local rules. As stated above, Santa Fe Springs' procurement process for Ocean Blue’s services was done through a competitive RFP process and in compliance with its local rules. Through the City of Santa Fe Springs bidding and evaluation procedure, Ocean Blue has demonstrated competence and the professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of hazardous waste management and emergency response services. Thus, the City Council may award this general services agreement in accordance with statutory authorities and the Pico Rivera Municipal Code.

Subject: On-Call Homeless Encampment Abatement and General Clean-up Dear Mr. Torres, Mr. Herd:

Though we’ve never met, I bet you at least heard about Ocean Blue. We’ve done a lot work for the City, the City’s tenants, the City’s neighbors including:

Whittier, Pico Rivera, Downey, Bellflower, Paramount, La Mirada, Lakewood, LA County Public Works, and more. After reading your RFP and the Q&A responses, I must say you are doing things a little differently than your neighbors. Which is fine, and I realize this is your first time soliciting this type of work. My hope is for us to grow together, and for Ocean Blue to become your valuable asset in our battle with homelessness.

Ocean Blue has the “availability to dedicate time, personnel, and resources to this effort… [and also] the city’s needs for this project.” Quite simply, you have called on us for emergency services for the last 5 years in a row, and we’ve performed every single time. Your tenants have called on us for the last 20 years, and your municipal neighbors for the last 30 years. We’re very proud of our 100% track record—as you and your community relied on Ocean Blue for a dedicated fast & professional hazmat cleanup services.

In this proposal you’ll see we can complete this scope of service efficiently, and have already done so for 30+ years. Please enjoy our proposal, I made it myself.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING & APPROACH
At the time of writing, Ocean Blue has performed over 300 homeless encampment cleanups within the last year.

Introduction: Since the 2008 housing crisis, Southern California had a surge in homeless encampments. Especially in Los Angeles, we’ve seen increases in tents along beaches, freeways, channels and underneath bridges. “Tent cities” are now everyday sights, along with streets packed with RVs. Unfortunately, these encampments are concerns to society, public health and our environment. In Santa Monica, you must carefully walk on the beach in fear of stepping on a needle. San Diego had a severe Hepatitis A outbreak, which is spread by fecal matter and unwashed hands. Orange County had a political fiasco when attempting to relocate their infamous Santa Ana riverbed homeless community into local hotels. Foul odors, illicit RV blackwater discharges, car break-ins, the presence of disease carrying vectors have all increased. The ethics of homelessness—and its response—is debated, but these factors undeniably hurt local business. Associating trash, hazardous waste, biohazardous waste accumulates in public rights-of-way, and if not mitigated will damage our environment.

Homelessness is a symptom of a much larger problem. Until it’s properly addressed, local business, public health, and our environment bear a growing burden.

Municipal Work: Ocean Blue currently holds 60+ southern Californian government contracts for hazardous waste management and emergency response. Because of our specialty in handling hazardous waste—bio hazardous, oils, acids, aerosols—Ocean Blue performs homeless encampment cleanups for some of the largest government agencies in Southern California. These same agencies call on us to help with homeless encampment cleanups. Tab 5 shows a sample list of public agencies for whom we perform work for. Agencies approach homeless encampment cleanups differently. Overall strategy changes as this issue evolves. Some things to consider:

Political threshold: Local governments are under fire because of homeless issues.

Businesses are exiting in mass. Citizens pay billions in taxes to tackle this problem with no avail. The homeless are filing class-action lawsuits against municipalities and winning. Because of this, all agencies’ involvements & tempos vary. When a new government asks for our services, we always ask: does the agency wish to tackle this aggressively? What is the desired frequency of cleanup? One-time? Once a month? Does the agency have set areas for homeless living? Does the agency have ready access to law enforcement? These answers matter in tailoring an effective program.

SERVICES: HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT CLEANINGS (CONTINUED)
Known vectors: Other than standard issues associated with homelessness, is there a larger, more serious vector problem? Are we specifically addressing a hepatitis A outbreak? Are we spraying pesticides for fleas carrying typhoid? Fighting a known, active disease takes operations up a level. As required, we maintain a Pest Control Business license with the California’s Department of Pesticide regulation, with multiple Qualified Applicators (Specialty K), with an active LA County registration.

Heavy vehicle access: What type of terrain are we cleaning? Are we tackling riverbeds lined with 10-ton rock that can only be accessed by labor to hand-pick everything? Or are we addressing open stretches of land that heavy equipment can access? Will equipment be operated in wet mud? Will we have to traverse through heavy brush? Is there a steep incline along an embankment? Can loaders, stake beds, bobcats, roll-offs enter? Or is the encampment smaller where we need to strike multiple areas with a trash truck?
Cleaning homeless encampments is not a simple task, and it requires collaboration between community organizations, local officials and outreach workers. Prior to cleaning, it’s important to assess the situation to identify potential hazards and determine necessary resources. All technicians are medically cleared (with up-to-date vaccinations), are trained to identify & handle hazardous materials/wastes, and know how to don appropriate PPE (including boots with metal insoles and puncture-resistant gloves). During the initial tailgate safety meeting, supervisors discuss a site-specific job hazard analysis (JHA) to address potential hazards associated with the cleaning (i.e. fall hazards, needles, confined space entry, awareness of heavy-equipment). This analysis is constantly reviewed and re-communicated as the job proceeds.

Law Enforcement: As much as possible, local law enforcement must be present during an encampment cleaning. Law enforcement performs an initial sweep of the encampment, an determines the residents are indeed vacated. Law enforcement should remain on-scene in case the residents come back. Many times, the homeless are outraged they have to move, or have psychological conditions making them violent. We’ve had instances where we’ve been attacked by the homeless; so law enforcement is needed to mitigate/prevent such situations.

Lastly, should the agency mandate, law enforcement designates left-behind items as “life essential” for later storage. This often include medicines, documents, clothes, and blankets. We do not recommend storing “life essential items” in large capacities. Storage units quickly become unruly, and need to be staffed when homeless come to claim their items. These units attract homeless loitering and can be threatening to office-staff.

Rather, we suggest the agencies perform diligent posting. Postings should be done weeks in advance, and again days in advance. Then let law enforcement give residents ample time to collect their most important items.

SERVICES: HOMELESS ENCAMPMENT (EQUIPMENT)
Encampments are located in different places like underneath bridges, in marshes, in riverbeds and more. Having the right, specialized equipment makes encampment cleanups easier, safer and faster.

Trash Compactors: These are by far the most used piece of equipment. The compactor is very versatile, and offers 30 cubic yards of garbage holding capacity. It can be used in larger cleanups, but the compactor really shines when attacking smaller piles of trash scattered through out. With a smaller wheel base, a low vertical profile, the compactor fits in the tightest of spaces. The compacting mechanism is great for compacting garbage and offloading.

Stake Beds: These trucks have a 1-ton lift gate, with multiple access points (on both sides). Riverbeds and flood channels can be tight, and sometimes it is impossible to u-turn the trucks, so accessing the bed from different sides is an advantage. Stake beds are great in channels with vertical walls. While the truck sits in the channel, technicians can pile trash from above. Depedning on the application, we use stake beds with either 12 feet or 24 feet bed sizes.

Front Loaders: These large pieces of equipment make quick work on large piles of garbage. After technicians clear the hazardous waste in an encampment, loaders collect piles of trash in a single swoop. Additionally, we change the front bucket for a crushing-mechanism to break down large objects like burnt RVs.

Loaders are best in open areas where multiple 40-yard bins are staged. As crews advance, loaders transport trash to the farther bins.

Roll-off trucks & Bins: Our fleet has both bobtail roll-offs for single bin carries, and roll-off rocket launchers for dual bin carries. 40-yard bins are great for holding large piles of trash. Bins walls are strong, so loaders can push down on the trash, and make more space for additional trash. While compactors struggle to crush large pieces of metal (i.e. steel bicycles & shopping carts), bins offer enough room to hold such items. And they are easy to dump.

Bobcat Skid Steers: Smaller than a front loader, bobcats are easy-to-use and more maneuverable and versatile. When used with tracks (instead of wheels), their small size allows them to work on uneven terrain, and in tight spaces like channels & tunnels. Bobcats also feature a hydraulic system that powers various attachments like buckets, forks and grapples: all necessary for the different applications homeless encampment cleanups offer.

SERVICES: CONFINED SPACE ENTRY IN ENCAMPMENTS
PEH live in different types of confined spaces, more notably in underground storm drains and underneath bridge rafters. Both situations pose their own respective confined space entry risks. Storm drains are notorious for containing decaying foliage, which will emit H2S gases (hydrogen sulfide). H2S is a lethal gas that smells of rotten eggs. The bad news is that once you smell H2S, you quickly become odor blind and if you do not mitigate the gas, fatalities will occur. The good news is H2S is heavier (more dense) than standard breathable air, which means if you wear an H2S detector on your boot or belt, you can detect H2S before inhaling it through the nostrils or lungs. H2S is one of the leading causes of inhalation deaths, and Ocean Blue monitors this gas closely.

Bridge rafters pose different risks. Many agencies hire us for bridge rafter encampment cleanings specifically because of our fall-protection program. Boom lifts will only get you so far when cleaning a bridge, and you will eventually need a harness & tie-off. Proper protection is necessary to safely clean under any bridge. More interestingly, building an encampment under bridge rafters—versus building an encampment on level ground— requires more ingenuity. Consequentially, encampments underneath bridges are notorious for booby-traps. We’ve seen cleverly built pesticide-bombs and exposed electrical trip wires. Perhaps these booby-traps are left to prevent cleaning access, or rather because of PEH rivalries. Regardless, properly mitigating such traps requires competence.

And when encountering such traps, not panicking is key. Lastly, anyone falling from such encampments—PEH or contractors—is a high liability. Likewise, bridge repairs from fire damage can cost an agency millions.

With years of field experience and the most current safety equipment available, we provide a safe, cost-effective confined space program. We established our confined space program in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.21, 29 CFR 1910.146 and NIOSH 80-106 for identifying and evaluating confined spaces to determine acceptable entry conditions. All personnel are trained for work in atmospheres immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH). We perform so much confined-space entry, we create our own entry permits addressing dangers present in real time.

SERVICES: WASTE MANAGEMENT
For the last 28 years, large Californian waste generators trusted Ocean Blue for their waste management. We understand the long-term liabilities associated with waste handling, packaging, transportation, recycling and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. This includes the removal & excavation of contaminated debris, laboratory packing of chemicals, packaging and consolidating hazardous materials, identifying and packaging unidentified materials, characterizing and profiling of waste, and transportation. Our Industry is one of the most regulated industries in the United States. Unfortunately willful violations are high in this industry, however Ocean Blue has never been in violation of DTSC, EPA, OSHA or any other regulatory agencies regulations. We encourage you to verify our status at: dtsc.ca.gov/hw-projects/enforcement-cases.

Labpacking Services: Ocean Blue is one of the largest labpacking companies in Southern California. We labpack approximately 200 drums a week. Our field chemists regularly identify, segregate and classify all types of hazardous wastes. At any time, drum inventory sheets are available for inspection. All drum labeling, marking and manifesting are done in full compliance with current EPA, DOT and State regulations.

All of our Clientele’s waste is identified, separated,
consolidated & packaged into proper shipping
containers. Waste oil, oil filters, used & mixed fuels, lightbulbs, electronic waste, batteries and oily debris are sent to local TSDFs (preapproved by our waste router) for
disposal/recycling. Once the waste area is cleaned, we
replace the container’s waste labels and record the new waste accumulation start dates. The proper storage &
labeling of drums is vital to maintaining DTSC
compliance. Additionally, Ocean Blue removes used
absorbent and replaces it with new absorbent material,
pressure washes the interior & exterior, and any possible remaining stains in the vicinity.

Ocean Blue is fully licensed, certified and trained to categorize hazardous wastes. Once the waste is categorized we package & transport the waste to a disposal facility. Some of the wastes we manage include:
• Asbestos
• Crude oil
• Fuel oil
• Mineral Oils
• Gasoline & Diesel
• Acids/Alkalines incl. Ammonia
• Polychlorinated Biphenyl’s (PCB)
• Lead & Mercury
• Ferric Chloride & Chlorine
• Waste Tires & Treated Wood
• Biologically hazardous waste
• Sewage and other regulated wastes
• Antifreeze, Paints, Thinners
• Pesticides, Herbicides, Rodenticides
• Electronic Waste

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
Since 1994, Ocean Blue has been the premier hazardous waste contractor in Southern California. Currently, over 40 southern California government agencies rely on us to tackle hazmat situations 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. While acid releases and truck fires garner the most praise & attention, people experiencing homeless (PEH) encampment cleanings are—by far—our most performed work. Last year in 2023 we performed 300+ PEH cleanings. Every agency deals with PEH differently. Even within each agency, different divisions operate differently (i.e. LACDPW flood & LACDPW road). Whether it is a large or small encampment, we tailor our service to any application. We can assemble small strike teams to tackle biohazardous & hazardous waste only. Or we can dispatch roll-off trucks with heavy equipment to move dozens of 40 yard bins a day. We are also familiar with special situations where we must conduct specialized trafficcontrol or perform permit-required confined space entry. Our flexibility and dedication to service sets us apart from the rest. While homelessness skyrocketed, word-of-mouth of Ocean Blue skyrocketed as well. Our offices are listed below.

Ocean Blue crews cleaning
PEH encampments
For the flood department, we can
perform confined space entries & airmonitoring to clear debris from underground drainage systems. For
the Road department, we often use
large equipment (i.e. trash trucks, rolloff trucks, heavy equipment) to efficiently clear debris in vast dirt
applications. Our relationship with
LACDPW has launched us to perform
PEH cleanings to almost every
neighboring city.

Emergency Response: LACDPW has
the largest underground storm drain
system in the world. Continuously for
28 years we intercepted spills and
illegal discharges into this system. We
have the fastest and most
experienced hazmat crews in
Southern California. Spills have
included but are not limited to: factory
fires, lethal H2S releases 2-miles long,
milk spills and gasoline spills creating
an ignitable atmosphere underneath
homes and roadways.

Waste Management: Every 90 days
our crews visit the County’s 50+
locations to collect over 100 drums of
hazardous and universal wastes.

The Ocean Cleanup: In 2022,
LACDPW contracted Ocean Blue to
maintain your 007 interceptor.

History: Every year the Los Angeles
County Department of Public Works
(LACDPW) is our most prestigious
client. We have continuously
renewed our various LACDPW
contracts for nearly 30 years. The
hazardous waste emergency
response contract was originally
awarded to 7 different contractors,
then was eventually reduced to 3
different contractors, and then 2,
and now for the last 15 years
LACDPW trusted us as the singlesource contractor for all of its hazardous waste needs. We have
responded to every single LACDPW
call-out. Whether it be a large spill,
various persons experiencing
homeless (PEH) encampment
cleanings, clarifier pump-outs or
maintaining the new Ballona Creek
water-borne interceptor, the 007.

Homeless Encampments: Since the
2008 housing crisis, Southern
California experienced a surge in
homeless encampments. Because
of our specialty in handling
hazardous wastes we now perform
PEH encampment cleanups nearly
everyday for the County Flood &
Road departments. Because of the
terrain, the different departments
perform PEH cleanings differently.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY DEPT. OF PUBLIC WORKS
Contract No. 2017-AN014 As-Needed Emergency Removal of Hazardous Material Contract No. BRC0000244 On-Call Non-Emergency Removal of Hazardous Material Docusign Envelope ID: B0FB7E37-1FAF-41E0-BB63-40DF84944A95 –––
Contract Value: $150,000 / 3-years
Date: 2017 – Present
Contact: Sharon Gallant – Environmental Svcs & Transportation Mgr Phone & Email: 626.384.5484 / [email protected]
Address: 125 East College St., Covina CA 91723 A cleanup using confined space entry gear enforcement to remediate any
hazardous (and biohazardous)
materials.

Confined Space Entry: Depending on
the cleanup, Ocean Blue may choose
to enter the designated area using
confined space entry procedures. As
shown above, sometimes the
homeless live in areas where confined
space entry equipment is deemed
necessary.

Waste Management: Every 90-days
we clean the city’s self-generated
hazardous waste cage. Waste
includes oils, filters, debris, paints, fire
extinguishers, batteries and light
bulbs. All waste is packaged in proper
D.O.T. shipping containers and
manifested accordingly. On the same
day, we will haul the waste to our 10-
day holding facility and later ship it to
an approved TSDF.

Classes: Covina invites Ocean Blue to
conduct a 2-hour class teaching the
use of absorbent and preventing
releases from entering the storm drain
by diking weak points. We also
discuss the importance of PPE. These
classes are free-of-charge and a good
opportunity to brainstorm ways both
organizations can synergize.

History: In 2017 Covina solicited
services for On-Call Hazardous
Waste Management Services.

Ocean Blue received first place and
was awarded this contract. This
contract initially started at $10K per
year, but as the city slowly saw
Ocean Blue’s value, they decided to
amend the contract to the current
value of $50K per year.

Furthermore, when this contract
expired in 2022, the city decided to
not resolicit these services. Instead,
to lock-in Ocean Blue as a
contractor and to obtain favorable
terms/pricing, Covina decided to
piggyback our contract with the Port
of Long Beach. In effect, the city
gets to keep Ocean Blue as a
contractor and obtains the favorable
pricing of a much large contract. A
win-win for both parties.

Emergency response: Since 2017
Ocean Blue has served the city of
Covina in maintaining the public
rights-of-way free of any hazardous
materials. This includes emergency
response for any spills, releases and
illegal discharges. In addition, we
aid the city with homeless
encampment cleanings. This usually
involves coordinating with local law

Bypass Jetting: Using our utility trucks
& specialized Combination Vactor
Jetter, we jet about 27 bypasses and
180 culverts for debris, dirt & gravel. In
order to effectively complete this
scope of work, safety & traffic control
are essential. Many times, bypass
cleaning requires lane/shoulder
closures using reflective cones &
arrow boards.

Trauma Scene (Biohazardous): For
the last 15 years Ocean Blue worked
closely with the Santa Ana Police
Department. We have responded to
shootings, stabbings and fatal car
accidents. We routinely visit the Santa
Ana jail to decontaminate jail cells of
biohazardous waste. And there has
been an increase in biohazardous callouts because of the surge in homelessness and all that it brings.

Fire: Last year we were dispatched to
respond to a burned down building.

We quickly responded to contain the
majority of fire suppressant water that
entered underground storm drains.

We boomed the area, staged
containment, and vacuumed the water
Summary: Continuously for 20+
years, we maintained the public
rights-of-way for the City of Santa
Ana. Additionally, our contract with
Orange County Public Works, allows
us to respond to OCPW call-outs,
within OCPW jurisdiction, within the
City of Santa Ana. Any spills,
releases and discharges are quickly
addressed. In addition, we aid the
City with any storm water system
maintenance from cleaning catch
basins, bypass jetting, open channel
maintenance, and flooding.

City-wide Catch Basin Cleaning:

Santa Ana has over 1,500 basins
throughout the city. Twice a year, we
clean these basins. Navigating city
Streets – sometimes during traffic
hours – requires careful planning. For
additional ease, we fabricated a
smaller pressure-washer/vacuum
combo unit. This combo unit is a
class C vehicle with a gross vehicle
weight of under 26,000 pounds.

Equipped with traffic control lights,
this unit is perfect for smaller crews
to tackle hard-to-reach areas.

NOTEWORTHY PROJECTS
Current
2017
Supervisor / City of Covina
In 2017 Covina solicited an RFP for hazardous waste management & emergency response services. Fortunately, we won first place and officially started our relationship with the city. The contract started off small, less than $10K a year. But overtime, the city witnessed our value (especially when encountering PEH cleanings) and amended the contract to $35K a year.

Current
2020
Supervisor / City of Southgate
We officially started working for the city of Southgate in 2020. We do so many PEH cleanings for LA County that Southgate staff eventually saw us conducting work near their jurisdiction. Naturally they contracted Ocean Blue to perform the same work for the city. While the amount of work is smaller, it is consistent. We love the repeat business with municipal clientele: $17K per year.

Current
2016
Supervisor / City of Hawaiian Gardens
In 2018 Mr. Valadez met the city of Hawaiian Gardens during a Caltrans PEH onramp incident.

The job was close to the city jurisdiction, so the city monitored the cleanup. Simply put, they liked the way we worked. And at the time, they were unhappy with their current vendor. By next year, we became the city’s hazardous waste contractor: $10K per year.

STATEMENT OF WORK
We’ve served Los Angeles consistently—and with praise—for 30+ years. Many are already familiar with Ocean Blue’s high-level of service. For anyone new, the following pages contain schedules, procedures, techniques and methods that will be employed in meeting the objectives outlined in the scope of work. We will cover:

1. Homeless encampment cleaning

2. Abandoned waste pickups

3. Biohazardous cleanups
Additional work plans are available upon request.

Contact Information: 562.624.4120 / 800.990.9930. Our live dispatch is available 24/7.

Ocean Blue’s location: Strategically located on the 710 freeway, we can quickly access the 405, 91 and 105 freeways.

Prevailing Wage: If work is determined to be prevailing wage, our technicians are paid as laborers-group 5.

Schedule: Supervisors can be on site within 1 hour of a call out. Crews/Equipment within 1.5 hours.

TSDFs
We work with several highly qualified TSDFs and recyclers. Ocean Blue has never transported an Agency’s waste to an unauthorized TSDF or recycler. If there is an issue with a TSDF, the agency will be notified right away, and waste will be routed to another facility.

Job walks Job walks are performed free of cost.

Suggestions:
- Trash Compactor trucks make tight spots easily accessible - When possible, work with multiple cities/agencies when near jurisdiction lines - You require a 4 hr response time. That is a long time. We suggest a 1 hr response time - Justin Lee gives really fun Hazmat classes if you’re interested - Most agencies do not require Prevailing Wage for this scope. Ask yourself, “does homeless encampment cleaning pertain to the regular maintenance of public infrastructure?” Or is what we’re doing more janitorial (non-PW)? - You do not mention posting. Posting is great for informing the people a cleanup is scheduled for this area. 1-week, and 3-day prior postings are nice.

COST PROPOSAL
Please use our Planet bids pricing for official submission. However, in the following pages you will see how we normally bill. We create a ticket (which is signed by the agency representative), and we bill off the ticket.

Normally we bill portal to portal, and cost plus a % on disposal. Normally homeless encampment cleaning is not billed per prevailing wage (PW), but in this case I included PW pricing.

Additionally, I am including our standard rate sheet. Should you require any special projects, this rate sheet gives us the most flexibility to handle any hazmat situation.

Ocean Blue (OB) has been my long-term hazardous waste contractor for nearly my entire 18 year career as a Hazardous Materials Specialist with the City of Long Beach. There was a 2-year lapse early on where I worked with one of their competitors. Ocean Blue's stock only rose in comparison to them. When we contracted again with OB I used my influence to insure another lapse would never occur again.

OB has motivated and highly trained employees and a dispatch system that always picks up and mobilizes in a very timely manner. A supervisor calls immediately and is usually on scene within 30 minutes to jointly assess spill incidents with me. Their response, procedures and documentation are always satisfactory without compromising safety. They always have adequate PPE where I have been lacking myself. And with thousands of emergency responses over the years I cannot recall a single instance where the abatement was shoddy and resulted in further complaint.

I am not sure what criteria is important to you. If it is solely cost, then maybe a competitor will edge OB out. Without them I found my bottom line was impacted by lost hours waiting on a response, unprofessional practices, improper or missing PPE, lack of needed instrumentation, improperly completed manifests and untrained and/or incompetent personnel.

You will never regret working with Ocean Blue. My cell is 562-714-3756. Please leave a message if I do not pick up.

I have been working closely with Ocean Blue for the past couple of years. Ocean Blue Environmental Inc. has been handling the hazardous waste of the Los Angeles County Beaches and Harbors for the past six years. In that time, they have been involved in everything from emergency spills, whale carcass removal, Homeless encampment clean-ups, and quarterly hazardous pick-up. Their level of service and knowledge expanse far beyond Hazardous Waste Clean-up and always performs to high customer service standards. In August 2021, Ocean Blue exceeded the level of services by reconstructing a road that washed out due to erosion in the Malibu Area.

I have worked with project manager Edmund Acosta for about three years. Mr. Acosta is very knowledgeable and is always trying to come up with the most cost-effective means for every job performed for our department. He develops a detailed plan, defines the project's scope to his team members, and far exceeds our department's expectations.

Ocean Blue is a company that believes in being prepared and looking professional.

This is represented in not just the fleet of equipment they keep but also how their employees present and conduct themselves on the job site.

RE: Reference for Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc.

To Whom It May Concern:

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
The City of Dana Point Public Works Department contracts with Ocean Blue Environmental Services, Inc. (Ocean Blue) for stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP) inspection and maintenance services, as well as emergency response. The City maintains a large inventory and variety of BMPs (over 500 catch basin filters, Connector pipe screens (CPS), underground media filters, hydrodynamic separators, etc.). They have provided superior service and competitive rates and their staff has been a pleasure to work with - both field and office staff.

The Project Manager, Chris Anguiano, is extremely responsive and communicative and provides excellent customer service, administering our contract (over $600,000 / year) in a very efficient manner. The field staff has also proven to be very knowledgeable and committed to providing the service that our coastal City expects. The field staff go above and beyond by reporting other concerns that they may observe while in the City, all while being able to work effectively with little direction and keeping on schedule.

Ocean Blue has the equipment and resources to mobilize quickly in emergency situation and have the experience to problem solve on the fly.

Based on the quality service that Ocean Blue has provided, the City of Dana Point would highly recommend Ocean Blue for inspection, maintenance and emergency services.

I would be happy to answer any additional questions that you may have: [email protected] or 949-248-3584.

Duration of coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the duration of the Agreement insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder by Consultant, or Consultant’s agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by the City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of the City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

The City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, Docusign Envelope ID: B0FB7E37-1FAF-41E0-BB63-40DF84944A95 the City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by the City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or the City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, the City may immediately terminate this Agreement.

Acceptable insurers. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an assigned policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VI (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by the City’s Risk Manager.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

Enforcement of Agreement provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Agreement are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.

Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to the City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the City and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to the City and approved of in writing.

Docusign Envelope ID: B0FB7E37-1FAF-41E0-BB63-40DF84944A95 Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Services who is brought onto or involved in the Services by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subconsultants, and others engaged in the Services will be submitted to the City for review.

The City’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to Consultant, City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation or come to some other agreement to address the additional cost.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by the City.

Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give the City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Services.

Failure to Maintain Coverage. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced immediately so as to avoid a lapse in the required coverage, City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may cancel this Agreement effective upon notice.

The annual expenditure amounts were determined by analyzing past expenditures for similar services and projected anticipated usage during future years.

The adopted Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget includes funding for these services primarily within the budget allocations for Police Services and Public Works. These budgets were developed in consultation with each department/division to determine a likely annual expenditure amount. Therefore, it is not anticipated that a budget adjustment would be needed for FY 2024-25. Future budgets will be developed utilizing the estimated amounts shown in the table above.

All agreements will have an initial term through December 31, 2027, and include one (1), one (1) year extension options for a maximum term through December 31, 2028.

Services associated with these agreements will be used as-needed. Upon receiving a request for services, the availability of funds will be verified, and a purchase order will be generated with sufficient funds encumbered for the expense. The Department of Finance will track encumbrances and expenses.

BACKGROUND
In the past, the City has used various consultants and contractors to provide services to assist with encampment abatement and general clean-up services. Qualified and licensed firms typically perform these services to address clean-up efforts that are large in scale or require special handling for collection and disposal. They are beyond the scope of onhand Staff. This specifically includes encampments, illegal dumping sites, hazardous wastes, and overgrown vegetation locations within the City's borders. Locations where services are to be performed include but are not limited to underneath roadway overpasses, drainage channels, industrial, neighborhoods, vacant land, and open/enclosed space areas.

While these services are essential and critical to City operations, they are required to be obtained in a manner that complies with local procurement procedures. For this reason, on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for As-Needed Encampment Abatement and General Clean Up Services.

The RFP was posted on PlanetBids, and notices were emailed to several prospective bidders, including those within the local area. In addition, print advertising in local media sources was used to advertise the solicitation. The RFP closed on Thursday, August 29, CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF NOVEMBER 12, 2024 Approve Professional Service Agreements for As-Needed Encampment Abatement and General Clean Up Services

2024, with fourteen (14) responses. The following is a list of the bidders who responded and their locations (in alphabetical order):
 A1 Financial Services (Moreno Valley, CA)
 Ancon Marine (Los Alamitos, CA)
 Alpha Petroleum Transport (Corona, CA)
 American Integrated Services (Wilmington, CA)
 C&NF Enterprises dba Bio-One of Orange (Orange, CA)
 Clean Harbors Environmental Services (Norwell, CA)
 Hunter Consulting dba HCI Environmental & Engineering Services (Corona, CA)  J&L Constructors (Huntington Beach, CA)
 Landscape Maintenance of America (Rocklin, CA)
 Mayfield Environmental Engineering (Long Beach, CA)
 O.C. Vacuum (Santa Fe Springs, CA)
 Ocean Blue Environmental (Long Beach, CA)
 Patriot Environmental Services (Signal Hill, CA)
 United Pumping Services (City of Industry, CA)
After receiving the responses to the RFP, an evaluation committee was formed to review each proposal submission. The evaluation committee comprised Staff from Police Services and Public Works. The responses were evaluated based on the following criteria:

Experience (40 points)
Staff and Project Organization Plan (30)
Reference Checks (15 points)
Proposed Fees (10 points)
Responsiveness to RFP (5 points)
In addition to reviewing and rating each proposal, the City interviewed the top-rated firms to discuss their project approach and obtain further information about local needs.

DISCUSSION
Upon completing the evaluation of the proposals and conducting interviews, Staff recommends awarding agreements to the following service providers (in alphabetical order):
 Mayfield Environmental Engineering (Long Beach, CA)
 O.C. Vacuum (Santa Fe Springs, CA)
 Ocean Blue Environmental (Long Beach, CA)
Staff is proposing multiple agreements through this opportunity to ensure the availability of services and allow Department staff to choose service providers based on their specific CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT – MEETING OF NOVEMBER 12, 2024 Approve Professional Service Agreements for As-Needed Encampment Abatement and General Clean Up Services

TABLED:

DIRECTION GIVEN:

service needs. By approving these agreements, the City ensures that it can achieve responsibility to maintain public health and safety. This includes making sure publicly accessible areas are clear of trash, debris, and other items that could negatively impact beautification and create hazards.

The proposals submitted by the service providers mentioned above were the most comprehensive and demonstrated an ability to provide the services required by the City.

It should also be noted that Mayfield and O.C. Vacuum have previously provided services for the City. Each of the previously used service providers has continually offered satisfactory services.

The service providers selected have been vetted to ensure they have all necessary personnel, equipment, supplies, and licenses/certifications required to complete tasks associated with the scope of work. This also includes understanding the legal compliance requirements for providing necessary notices to inhabitants before completing any work.

Each service provider will coordinate with the Police Services, Public Works, and Whittier PD, to ensure adherence to the proper procedures. When needed, representatives from these departments will be on hand to ensure compliance with protocols and serve as liaisons to refer any remaining inhabitants to resources that can provide assistance.

The proposals that were not selected did not fully meet the City's requirements. In addition, some needed more experience in providing services in the public sector.

Although the proposals were not selected, contact information will be retained in the vendor management database to ensure they receive other solicitations for services in the future.

SUMMARY/NEXT STEPS
Staff recommends approving professional service agreements with Mayfield, O.C.

Vacuum, and Ocean Blue for as-needed encampment abatement and general clean-up services. If approved, the agreements will allow the purchase of services in accordance with the terms, conditions, and pricing identified in the associated RFP.

In the event Consultant fails to obtain such indemnity obligations from others as required herein, Consultant agrees to be fully responsible and indemnify, hold harmless and defend City and City’s elected and appointed officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers from and against any and all claims and losses, costs or expenses for any damage due to death or injury to any person and injury to any property resulting from any alleged intentional, reckless, negligent, or otherwise wrongful acts, errors or omissions of Consultant’s subcontractors or any other person or entity involved by, for, with or on behalf of Consultant in the performance of this Agreement. Such costs and expenses shall include reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by counsel of City’s choice.

F. City does not and shall not waive any rights that it may possess against Consultant because of the acceptance by City, or the deposit with City, of any insurance policy or certificate required pursuant to this Agreement.

B. Consultant will cure the Event of Default within the following time periods:
i. Within ten (10) business days of City’s issuance of a Default Notice for any failure of Consultant to timely provide City or City’s employees or agents with any information and/or written reports, documentation or work product which Consultant is obligated to provide to City or City’s employees or agents under this Agreement. Prior to the expiration of the 10-day cure period, Consultant may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that Consultant has commenced efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 10-day cure period.

C. City will cure any Event of Default asserted by Consultant within forty-five (45) calendar days of Consultant’s issuance of a Default Notice, unless the Event of Default cannot reasonably be cured within the 45-day cure period. Prior to the expiration of the 45-day cure period, City may submit a written request for additional time to cure the Event of Default upon a showing that City has commenced its efforts to cure the Event of Default and that the Event of Default cannot be reasonably cured within the 45-day cure period.

City may issue the Suspension Notice at any time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. Upon such suspension, Consultant will be compensated only for those services and tasks which have been rendered by Consultant to the reasonable satisfaction of City up to the effective date of the suspension. No actual or asserted breach of this Agreement on the part of City will operate to prohibit or otherwise restrict City’s ability to suspend this Agreement as provided herein.

E. No waiver of any Event of Default or breach under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent Event of Default or breach. No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party will give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.

F. The duties and obligations imposed under this Agreement and the rights and remedies available hereunder will be in addition to and not a limitation of any duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law. In addition to any other remedies available to City at law or under this Agreement in the event of any breach of this Agreement, City, in its sole and absolute discretion, may also pursue any one or more of the following remedies:

23. SCOPE OF WAIVER OF DEFAULT
No waiver of any default or breach under this Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other default or breach, whether of the same or other covenant, warranty, agreement, term, condition, duty or requirement contained in this Agreement. No waiver, benefit, privilege, or service voluntarily given or performed by a Party will give the other Party any contractual rights by custom, estoppel, or otherwise.

Duration of coverage. Consultant shall procure and maintain for the duration of the Agreement insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property, which may arise from or in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder by Consultant, or Consultant’s agents, representatives, employees or subconsultants.

Primary/noncontributing. Coverage provided by Consultant shall be primary and any insurance or self-insurance procured or maintained by the City shall not be required to contribute with it. The limits of insurance required herein may be satisfied by a combination of primary and umbrella or excess insurance. Any umbrella or excess insurance shall contain or be endorsed to contain a provision that such coverage shall also apply on a primary and non-contributory basis for the benefit of the City before the City’s own insurance or self-insurance shall be called upon to protect it as a named insured.

The City’s rights of enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications or is canceled and not replaced, the City has the right but not the duty to obtain the insurance it deems necessary and any Docusign Envelope ID: 48D07B1C-97CD-4A8C-9706-91517D117D5D premium paid by the City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant or the City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments.

Waiver of subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this Agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees and volunteers or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.

Enforcement of Agreement provisions (non estoppel). Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.

Requirements not limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Agreement are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type.

Notice of cancellation. Consultant agrees to oblige its insurance agent or broker and insurers to provide to the City with a thirty (30) day notice of cancellation (except for nonpayment for which a ten (10) day notice is required) or nonrenewal of coverage for each required coverage.

Additional insured status. General liability policies shall provide or be endorsed to provide that the City and its officers, officials, employees, agents, and volunteers shall be additional insureds under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.

Prohibition of undisclosed coverage limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to the City and approved of in writing.

Docusign Envelope ID: 48D07B1C-97CD-4A8C-9706-91517D117D5D Separation of insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions.

Pass through clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Services who is brought onto or involved in the Services by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with consultants, subconsultants, and others engaged in the Services will be submitted to the City for review.

The City’s right to revise specifications. The City reserves the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in substantial additional cost to Consultant, City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation or come to some other agreement to address the additional cost.

Self-insured retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the City. The City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by the City.

Timely notice of claims. Consultant shall give the City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Additional insurance. Consultant shall also procure and maintain, at its own cost and expense, any additional kinds of insurance, which in its own judgment may be necessary for its proper protection and prosecution of the Services.
