CITY COUNCIL
Award of Contract to United Storm Water, Inc., for the FY2021-22 Annual Trash Capture Program
This action will award a construction contract for the FY2021-22 Annual Trash Capture Program. This project is a portion of a ten-year program designed to comply with State mandates and assist in removing pollutants from the City's stormwater system.

Recommended Action:

It is recommended the City Council award the contract for the FY2021-22 Annual Trash Capture Program to United Storm Water, Inc., in the amount of $132,389.00 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract (Attachment A).

Discussion:

The Annual Trash Capture Program is an unfunded State mandate enforced by the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) to capture all trash greater than 5mm, essentially anything larger than a cigarette butt, in priority land use (PLU) areas. PLU areas are classified as commercial, industrial, and high-density residential as well as transit stops. The City has ten years to comply with the mandates. Private properties located in a PLU are also required to comply with this mandate. Any property that proposes development or redevelopment within a PLU is being required to install trash capture devices as part of the permit approval process. The FY2021-22 Annual Trash Capture Program project is part of a ten-year program that will install trash capture devices in existing public storm drain inlets, catch basins, and cleanouts. The trash capture sites have been identified according to the current volume of trash generated and the projected future volume generated by adjacent properties.

Bids for this project were solicited directly from a pre-approved list of contractors in an informal bidding process under the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act. The informal bidding process does not require public advertisement; therefore a bid number was not required. 1 of 11
