Re: Environmental On-Call Services
Dear Julie,
Perhaps you don’t know I grew up as a beach boy in Redondo Beach. Girls used to call me “surfer dude” in middle school. To say “I love my hometown” would be an understatement. In 2017 I got the opportunity to open a contract with Redondo Beach. Their administrator asked me for a selection of contracts to potentially copy. As I regularly do, I offered them our LA County or Port of LA contracts (large contracts for terms & pricing). Surprisingly they said they wanted a different contract to copy; “someone who better represents Redondo’s small surfer town”. At the time I didn’t know a ton about San Clemente, so I meekly offered your contract. The administrator was ecstatic to have San Clemente on the menu. What I want to say is, Ocean Blue’s first contract with my beloved hometown was piggybacked off of San Clemente.
For this proposal, I rode my bike to San Diego and camped on the San Clemente Beach. By bicycle, I wanted to see how much San Clemente resembled my hometown. I was skeptical riding through Laguna Beach & Dana point. Their cultures were different: more posh, more Orange County than anything. I asked myself if San Clemente would be more of the same. Then I rode through your maze of residential streets, and landed on the locally-loved, yet simple pier. I purchased band-aids at your CVS for my foot’s peeling skin, where the cashier was eager to hear about my day. I washed the sweat from the day’s ride on your beach’s showers. At night, a drunk treasure hunter struck up a conversation with me on the beach—supposedly I’m featured on his youtube channel somewhere. I saw my hometown in San Clemente. I felt at home.
Brass tacks: Julie, you know us. You know we got the city’s back. Many others may say this, but you know we’ve delivered for 10 years. As further testimony, I urge you to read our letters of recommendation in Tab 5. Additionally our proposed price will be valid for a period of at least 90 days. Everything will continue to be serviced from our Long Beach office at 925 West Esther St., Long Beach CA 90813. Our office number is 562.624.4120.

BACKGROUND
Founded 1994, Ocean Blue has become the premier hazardous waste contractor in Southern California. We hold the most municipal waste-management & emergency response contracts within Southern California. This is because we live & breathe a culture of environmental cleanup. On any given day we are responding to spills, drumming waste, transporting bins, cleaning underground stormdrain systems, cleaning homeless encampments, performing tanks pulls and pumping clarifiers.
We have the most experienced team of Hazmat Contractors in Southern California. All our personnel are trained, experienced and fully equipped to perform all tasks for this scope of work. Within our Long Beach office our project Managers—Ed Acosta, Ed Long and Chris Anguiano—each have decades of experience. And as a 24/7 Haz-Mat company in such a regulated industry, without a single environmental violation, our track record speaks for itself.
Ocean Blue pumping various clarifiers & sand traps along the coastline. We pump all the sumps within 1-2 days.
Ocean Blue does not own, nor is affiliated with any TSDF/Recycler. We believe a full-service environmental firm should not own a TSDF/Recycler. The ability to freely choose TSDF/Recycler disposal methods is essential to determine the most cost-effective, innovative way of disposing waste. Unlike other contractors we are free to shop for the most desirable disposal method for County waste. To ensure compliance with all applicable state & federal regulations we regularly audit every TSDF/Recycler we send waste to. We are well aware that some Southern Californian TSDFs were problematic and shut down to become government superfund sites. Since opening in 1995, we have never taken any client’s waste to these superfund sites. Some of our clientele include:

APPROACH: EMERGENCY RESPONSE
For nearly 30 years, many of Southern California’s largest waste generators relied on Ocean Blue for waste management & emergency response services. We understand the long-term liabilities & risks associated with waste handling, packaging, transportation, storage, recycling & disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste.
Our trusting relationships are what set us apart from competitors.
On average in the Southern California area, Ocean Blue responds to four emergency HAZMAT situations every day. We are one of the most experienced & well-equipped emergency responders, holding 60+ different ER contracts for various government agencies. Through the utilization of the most modern emergency response equipment and highly trained personnel, Ocean Blue responds quickly & professionally to a wide variety of emergency and nonemergency spill situations. Ocean Blue is known for fast and exemplary service. Clientele simply make one phone call to our dispatcher, and we respond with a supervisor & crew within (45) minutes, to any situation, on land or water, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Ocean Blue is fully licensed, certified and trained to categorize hazardous wastes. Once the waste is categorized, we then package & transport the waste to a disposal facility. Some of the wastes we manage include:
i Asbestos, Crude Oil
i Fuels, gasoline, diesel
i Acids & Alkalines
i Ammonia solutions
i Lead & Mercury
i Oxidizers & Chlorine
i Polychlorinated Biphenyl’s (PCB)
i Sewage and biohazardous wastes
i Treated wood
Ocean Blue is a full hazardous waste management service company Our income is derived from providing excellent service to our clients, not from disposal fees. We are not owned by, nor own a TSDF, and do not have any agreement with any TSDF to exclusively deliver waste to. Because we are not limited to any specific TSDF, we can help our clients choose the best disposal or recycling facilities for their needs. Furthermore, we will always choose the most environmentally friendly solution whenever possible. In choosing an appropriate TSDF, we consider the following: our client’s disposal requirements, facility compliance and financial stability, disposal methods offered, pricing, and inspection/audit results. 925 West Esther St.

APPROACH: EMERGENCY RESPONSE (CONTINUED)
During a spill, time is of the essence: initial containment is critical to spill cleanup. To ensure we are always ready to respond, our workforce employs the most 1st-responder supervisors in Southern California. All supervisors are assigned their own utility truck (which they take home). Supervisors respond directly to the spill site, not from Ocean Blue’s yard—effectively streamlining response time. All our supervisors carry sandbags, sorbent materials, brooms and shovels to assist in containing the spill.
Unidentified Waste: Our supervisors can categorize unknown liquid/solids—in the field—at a moment’s notice. Once categorized, we package & transport the waste to a local TSDF. Our direct reading instruments are 100% owned & properly calibrated by in-house trained personnel. These instruments include:
• Mercury vapor analyzers,
• Ammonia vapor analyzers,
• Hydrogen Sulfide Monitors
• Intrinsically safe personnel monitors
With these instruments readily available, we can ensure a timely response. Furthermore, clients save money by not paying extra laboratory surcharges with high 24-hour turn around costs. All our Emergency Response Units contain a multi-step Hazardous Categorization Kit.
Trauma Scene Cleanup: Blood spills and trauma scenes are everyday occurrences for Ocean Blue. We work with Sheriff’s departments and other law enforcement agencies to block off trauma scenes from the public. We are fast, efficient, discrete and cost effective. We service the City of Long Beach, the Ports, Orange County, Cal Trans and more with 24/7 trauma scene cleanup services. Our teams know to preserve potential evidence—bullets & crime paraphernalia. From sanitizing, to paperwork, to transportation, to decontamination, to disposal, Ocean Blue is your turnkey company for trauma scene cleanup and biohazardous disposal.

APPROACH: 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

APPROACH: SANITATION & BIO
Ocean Blue responds to sewer malfunctions all over southern California. We are familiar with all types of sewer infrastructure:
septic tanks, leach fields, sewer lines and wet-wells. For one client alone—Los Angeles County Dept. of Beaches &
Harbors—we pump and transport 200,000+ gallons of solid sewage annually. We’ve also responded to a call out from the City of Los Angeles Sanitation department, collecting 6M gallons of sewage from a main line rupture. We stayed around the clock until the leak could be addressed, and a bypass was installed.
Similarly for the City of San Diego, we were on site for 8-days collecting 12M+ gallons of sewage to make sure their retention basin did not over flow.
We are fully permitted & licensed to cleanup, transport, and offload sewage by the Los Angeles County Dept. of Sanitation and the Dept. of Public Health. All sewage loads are sent to the sanitation treatment plant in Carson, CA. After a typical cleanup, municipal agencies often task Ocean Blue to hydrojet the sewer line to clear any blockage. Oftentimes to hydrojet effectively we need to use a variety of plugs to redirect water flow. In more extreme cases, bypass pumps are used when a sewer system is completely shut down for repair. Any CCTV will be provided by our subcontractor National Plant Services.
Our fleet include the following types:
• 5,000G Vacuum Trucks (Black Iron & Stainless)
• 3,500G Vacuum Vactors
• 3,000G Vacuum Supersuckers
• 2,500G Hydro-Jetters
• 1,000G Vacuum Trailers
• 1,000G Mounted Vacuum Class C trucks
Drivers: Our commercial drivers are qualified & experienced for the waste transportation industry. All drivers must maintain clean 10-year records, regularly checked by our DMV-pull program (also annually vetted by our insurance carriers). We even offer hands-on training for employees to receive their commercial class A license with hazardous & tanker’s endorsements. By the training’s end we are 100% confident our drivers follow correct DOT, CHP, DTSC, EPA and OSHA protocols. And per regulation, we carry Haz/non-haz waste manifests, SDS, and BOLs.

S uperv isor / City of Cov ina
In 2017 Covina solicited an R F P for haz ardous waste management & emergency response services. F ortunately, 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

S uperv isor / City of S outhgate
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. N aturally 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: $17 K per year.

S uperv isor / City of Haw aiian G ardens
In 2018 Mr. V aladez met the city of Hawaiian G ardens 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 haz ardous waste contractor: $10K per year.

CLIENT: CITY OF IRVINE
Contract No. 80B7: As-needed Emergency Hazardous substances clean-up and Disposal services
Summary: Since 2018, we’ve done
catch basin cleaning, bypass jetting,
open channel maintenance, emergency
response (flooding response, spill
response), and trauma scene cleanups.
City-wide Catch Basin Cleaning: Every
year Ocean Blue maintains 250 catch
basins for the City of Irvine. This also
involves inspections, documenting
photos, and compiling reports.
Inspections are important because they
can help identify problems early on, and
also help ensure the infrastructure is
functioning properly & efficiently. As of
now, we are only cleaning once a year,
however the City is deliberating about
cleaning 2x/year.
Left: Crews of 2 technicians & an inhouse fabricated vacuum truck/pressure washer can clean 40 - 70
catch basins a day (depending on level
impacted). Later, should the city decide,
we can install County approved fulltrash capture devices to comply with MD4 permitting.
Trauma Scene (Biohazardous): Our
contract with Irvine allows the city to use
Ocean Blue in order to respond to
shootings, stabbings and fatal car
accidents. Biohazardous cleanup is
important for the safety of those who
come in contact, and also in preventing
the spread of infectious disease.
Routine Waste Pickups: Ocean Blue
performs Irvine’s 90-day Hazardous
Waste pickups. This involves identifying,
categorizing, packaging, transporting
and disposal of several different
hazardous waste streams. Including
Non-RCRA hazardous waste solids &
liquids, flammables and corrosives.
Bypass Jetting: We will also do
routine/maintenance jetting for
bypasses & 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.

PROJECT SCHEDULE
As with our previous 2 contract terms, whenever San Clemente called, we’ve dropped everything and responded right away. Should we be awarded a new contract term we will continue to do so.
As with our previous 2 contract terms, should the city wish to schedule something next day, we can do it next day.
COST DATA
Please see the following pages of our preferred pricing for San Clemente *As with our previous 2 contract terms, per our cover page, for prevailing wage please add $45 per hour on labor-only.
*As with our previous 2 contract terms, per our cover page, disposal is billed cost plus. Per the Q&A, if you want pricing for every single waste stream, at every single size, for every single method of disposal (treatment, incineration, recycling, landfill), you will spend days comparing data. Instead, we bill cost plus and broker for the best deals depending on the waste stream and disposal method in real time. We are not affiliated with any disposal facility and therefore can unbiasly shop for San Clemente’s best option.
Additionally, price for disposal fluctuates per waste stream (think how medical waste disposal inflated during Covid): should you wish to receive fixed pricing for every single waste stream, at every single size, for every single method of disposal, we will have to cushion the price in anticipation of unknown price increases.
Thereby charging San Clemente more to account for unknown future price increases. With our cost-plus method, we are realizing current market prices in real time, with no cushion. This is the fairest option for the buyer & vendor—when both parties trust each other. See letters of recommendation.

To whom it may concern,
It is my pleasure to provide this letter of recommendation for Ocean Blue Environmental Services.
As the Superintendent of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes Public Works Department, I am tasked with maintaining our city to the highest environmental standards, meeting the demands of our residents and the stringent requirements of state and federal regulations. To fulfill this critical responsibility, I have relied exclusively on Ocean Blue Environmental Services for the past seven years.
Ocean Blue has consistently demonstrated responsiveness, professionalism, and a proactive attitude in addressing both routine and emergency situations. Their efforts have significantly contributed to keeping our city not only operational but also looking its best.

Their swift response and highly effective solutions played a vital role in mitigating the impacts of these storms.

They are not merely a contractor for the City of Rancho Palos Verdes—they are a trusted and valuable partner.

Boat fire in Marina Del Rey
Harbor
CLIENT: LA COUNTY DEPT. BEACHES & HARBORS
Agreement No. 79502 As-Needed Hazardous Waste Removal Services History: A lot washes up on Southern
California’s beaches: dead whales,
clumps of oil, derelict vessels,
hypodermic needles and all kinds of
hazardous waste. From the southern tip
of San Pedro to the county line in
Malibu, Ocean Blue manages all the
hazardous waste for the Los Angeles
County Department of Beaches &
Harbors. In addition, we regularly
maintain sand traps, oil/water
separators, septic tank systems and
routinely do their 90-day waste pickup.
First Job: We first started working
directly with the Department in 2015. A
pipeline in Santa Barbara’s San Refugio
state beach erupted unleashing
200,000 gallons of crude oil into
southern California waters. While Ocean
Blue did not participate in the cleanup
near Santa Barbara, oil began washing
up onshore in Los Angeles. The
Department had never worked with
Ocean Blue before, and suddenly they
were using us on an emergency basis to
clean up 70 miles of coastline. After the
2-week cleanup finished, we submitted
a contract proposal for the Department
and now work for them on a regular
basis for Hazmat & stormwater work.
Derelict Vessel (above): On a Friday
afternoon, a boat caught fire in the
Marina Del Rey Harbor. Unfortunately,
the boat was 100% full of fuel. Ocean
Blue was dispatched quickly to boom off
the slip and recover hazardous material
spilled in the navigable water ways. We
later raised the ship with the help of our
diving subcontractor, Meyer’s Marine—
a local SBE. Like many derelict vessels,
it was nearly impossible to find the
responsible party to bill. To save the
county money, Ocean Blue billed the
Coast Guard’s national pollution fund to
collect 100% of the cleanup costs.
Because of our experience with derelict
vessels, we know how perform cost
recovery to bill the responsible party, the
responsible party’s insurance, or the
national pollution fund: in effect saving
local tax payers hundreds of thousands
of dollars.

CLIENT: LOS ANGELES WORLD AIRPORTS
ContractNo.DA-5468 Cleanup & Disposal of Hazardous Waste ContractNo.RX-10043714 Storm Basin, Clarifier, Pump Station History: For years we regularly worked
for LAX’s tenants (notably LAX fuels &
American Airlines), but we never
worked for Los Angeles World Airports
(LAWA) directly. Then in 2016 LAWA
awarded Ocean Blue the contract to
perform stormwater maintenance
services for LAWA. Then a few years
later, LAWA awarded Ocean Blue the
contract to perform general hazmat
services and spill response. And
recently, LAWA decided to copy-cat
Ocean Blue’s standing contract with the
San Diego Regional Airport to use us for
clarifier pumping services. LAWA now
relies on Ocean Blue for stormwater,
hazmat, and pumping services on & off
the tarmac. Furthermore, our strong
relationship with LAWA has propelled us
to service LAX tenants like United &
Delta Airlines. Within a few years, our
goal is to perform similar services for all
of LAWA’s tenants. Stormwater: Every 55 seconds an
airplane lands/departs at LAX. If you do
the math, that is 1,587 landings and
departures per day, 600,000
landings/departures per year. That is a
lot of runway rubber left on the tarmac
and filtering through storm drains. In
order to comply with its MS4 permit,
LAX requires extensive storm water
maintenance. Ocean Blue holds the
single source contract for LAX. With
over 3,700 Contech filters utilized
throughout the Airport, LAX has the
largest stormwater filtration system
Ocean Blue has ever seen. Emergency Response: Ocean Blue provides emergency response for LAX
& Van Nuys international airports. In
addition, we also perform emergency
response for many of LAX’s tenants,
including Delta Airlines, United Airlines,
Qantas Airlines, and LAX fuels. We have
cleaned multiple types of spills
including: jet-fuel, hydraulic oil, cargo
spills, sewage spills, grease overflows
and more. We are very familiar with
LAX’s underground system, and have
repeatedly cleaned their final retention
basin, which is capable of holding

CLIENT: ORANGE COUNTY DEPT. OF PUBLIC WORKS
MA-080-22010269 On-Call Environmental Clean-Up Services MA-060-22010941 Biohazard and Crime Scene Clean Up Services History: We are not exactly sure why
Orange County Public Works (OCPW)
awards multiple contractors their
Hazmat ER contract. OCPW will call
Ocean Blue anyways because of our
fast response time. Recently in 2021, all
the contractors gathered to kick-off the
newly renewed contract. During this
meeting the other contractors gave
OCPW an earful for always calling
Ocean Blue. OCPW surrendered and
told the other contractors they would
offer them the first call. Of course we
were upset: we felt we deserved the first
call because we always responded. Well
guess what happened? A few months
later on a Friday afternoon, a plating
shop caught on fire. The Local fire
department responded first, and doused
it with thousands of gallons of fire
suppressant water. This plating shop
mixture then ran for miles underground.
And to make matters worse, inside the
mixture was detectible levels of cyanide,
a lethal/dangerous toxic chemical.
OCPW called the other 2 contractors to
respond. After hearing multiple excuses,
OCPW finally called Ocean Blue to
respond. Going forward, OCPW now
uses this example as to why we get the
first call.
Picture (Top): OCPW noticed grease
accumulating in its flood channel. Upon
noticing OCPW immediately dispatched
Ocean Blue to remediate the situation.
We followed the grease trail upstream to
the outfall, and walked the storm drain
line 1 mile before finding the discharge
source. The discharge traveled through
the Cities of Buena Park and Fullerton.
Since we were already on scene, the 2
cities okayed using Ocean Blue to wash
their system. If it wasn’t for us, these
cities would never know thousands of
gallons of grease traveled their systems.
And because we walked the 1-mile
underground, and found the discharge
location, we caught the responsible
party. We billed OCPW, OCPW billed
the 2 cities, and lastly the 2 cities billed
the responsible party.

CLIENT: PORT OF LOS ANGELES
Contract No. 26-9976 As-Needed Emergency Response & Hazardous Waste Management Services
History: Ocean Blue has consistently
held the Port of Los Angeles (POLA)
contract for the last 25+ years. During
the last contract term the Port changed
the contract from a single source
contract to now awarding the contract
to multiple vendors. While Ocean Blue
has consistently been awarded, the
other awarded contractors are
consistently changing. Showing the
Port’s trust to Ocean Blue.
To date we completed well over 2,000
projects at the Port of Los Angeles; from
oil spills, dredges, dead animal
cleanups, trauma scene responses,
stormwater management and
hazardous waste management.
Multi-Agency: To properly service the
contract we constantly work with the
United States Coast Guard, the
Department of Fish & Wildlife, Port
Police and the Port Fire department. We
are very familiar these agency’s
protocols as we work together many
times during hazmat situations. We also
run quarterly/annual drills with the
U.S.C.G., and Department of Fish &
Wildlife for oil spill response.
Port Tenants: The Port will recommend
Ocean Blue to its tenants. Ocean Blue
maintains Emergency Response &
Hazardous waste contracts with many
of the Port’s Tenants: i.e. Maersk,
Evergreen, Total Terminal & LBCT.
Emergencies: During our nearly 30 year
relationship, we have responded to
2,300+ different call-outs. We have
responded to broken sewer lines that
spilled 2 million gallons of sewage per
day (for 3 days straight), until the
department fixed the line. We worked
months when a vessel-fueler failed to
connect his fuel hose and discharged
thousands of gallons of fuel into harbor
waters. We provided the boom and
necessary resources to decontaminate
the dock, its pier pilings, and nearby
infrastructure. We’ve raised hundreds of
abandoned boats that were purposely
sunk or set on fire. We also performed
dead mammal recoveries.

CITY OF LONG BEACH
AgreementNo.37001: As-needed hazardous waste removal services AgreementNo.36656: Routine storm drain and related services Summary: Long Beach is our home city,
and we do our best to take care of it. For
26 of the last 30 years, Ocean Blue has
been Long Beach’s trusted contractor
for any & all hazmat situations.
DarkAges: During one contract term we
were underbid, and the city was forced
to use another contractor for 4 years.
Lest to say the city was disappointed
and learned a valuable lesson. In Mr.
Kurt Anhalt’s recommendation letter to
Ocean Blue, he illustrates this dark
period with“lost hours waiting on a
response, unprofessional practices,
improperly competed manifests, and
untrained and/or incompetent
personnel.” Kurt alludes he would do his
best to make sure this never happened
again. And in the recommendation
letter’s final sentence he says, “You will
never regret working with Ocean Blue.”
On the next contract term, the
incumbent vendor did not even bid. And
Ocean Blue was awarded the new
contract, and continues to be the city’s
vendor to this day.
Services: Ocean Blue does a lot for the
city’s various departments. These
departments include Fleet, Marine, Gas
& Oil, Fire, Health, Public Works, Police,
and the Library. On many days, Long
Beach calls Ocean Blue 5-7 times for
different emergency situations. These
include sewage spills, fires, ammonia
releases, trauma scene cleanups,
lithium battery fires clarifier pumping,
overturned tankers, Port cargo spills,
and much, much more. We cannot
stress how much we do for the city, and
how important the city’s success is.
Long Beach is a prominent city, and we
are a trusted partner for it’s success.
PortofLongBeach: The city & the port
used to be the same public entity, with a
single contract that Ocean Blue Held.
When the port separated in 1998, the
port created a new contract, and Ocean
Blue has been their vendor since. Stormwater: In 2023 Ocean Blue was awarded the City’s regular stormwater
maintenance and cleaning contract—a
contract we’ve wanted for a while.

CLIENT: CITY OF DANA POINT
Contract: Storm Water Best Management Practices (BMP) Maintenance & As-Needed Spill Response
History: Historically the City of Dana
Point has the longest duration contract
for Storm Water BMP management
services in southern California. If you
include the optional renewal years, the
contract can last up to 10 years. We did
not bid in 2008. And 2018, we were
optimistic in winning, but did not win
because of our higher pricing and our
proposal needed work. We were
disillusioned, it would be another 10
years before we could bid again. Who
knows where we would be in 10 years.
Then in 2023 Dana Point released it’s
RFP again; 5 years earlier than
expected. Did the city not wish to
exercise the renewal years with the
incumbent vendor? Did the contract run
out of funds before the contract’s
expiration? Was there some
environmental catastrophe that
changed the status quo? Maybe the
incumbent vendor did not wish to
renews the contract—if so, why not? Did
they incorrectly price the contract? If so,
by how much and on what line items?
All these questions ran through our
heads. But one thing was clear, we had
the opportunity to show how much we
grew in 5 years.
With new major clients including Los
Angeles World Airports (LAX) and the
City of Long Beach, our proposal was a
pitch higher, and we sharpened our
numbers. And eventually we were the
awarded contractor.
Like any contract, it can be unnerving to
switch vendors to someone you hardly
know. The city even admitted they
weren’t sure we could fulfill their needs.
But they called Ocean Blue’s
references, and our contacts assured
them they were in good hands. And after
a few years of maintaining their
infrastructure, the city agreed. Please
see Lisa’s letter of reference.
Numbers: This contract includes
inspecting and cleaning 500 catch
basins with over 800 filters., inspecting
and cleaning their hydrodynamic
separators, and 150 unit storm filter
vaults.

Cleaning catch basins around
the famous Fashion Island
CLIENT: CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
ContractNo.C-9578-1: Citywide Storm Drain System Cleaning Services History: The City of Newport Beach
contractually separates its Hazmat
disposal services and its stormwater
maintenance services. For years,
Ocean Blue would only work for
Newport Beach on rare occasions:
maybe for a small spill once every 4
years, or if Orange County Sheriff
dispatched us for a trauma scene
cleanup in Newport Beach. Although we
barely worked for the city, we did work
for several of the city’s businesses in the
harbor. More importantly, we were
patiently waiting for the opportunity to
show our quality to the city.
In 2024, Ocean Blue bid on Newport’s
stormwater maintenance services and
won with the lowest cost—effectively
removing one of the city’s long-time
vendors. With any contract, it can be
unnerving to switch from a trusted
vendor to someone you barely know.
But now, Ocean Blue happily inspects
the city’s stormwater infrastructure,
maintaining thousands of catch basins
(with CPS and non-CPS) multiple times
a year, maintaining various
hydrodynamic separators, V-ditches,
stormdrain outfalls and more.
In 2025, Newport released it’s first-ever
comprehensive hazardous waste
services contract, and we are eager to
offer our services. The hazmat contract
is unconventional. But because of our
new relationship with Newport’s public
works’ teams, regardless if we win or not
we want to make sure they are in good
hands.
Thenumbers: Ocean Blue provides
comprehensive stormwater services.
These services include maintaining
3,100 catch basins, 31 Continuous
Deflective Separation Units, 300
Connector Pipe screens, 32,000 feet of
rod line and V-ditches, and any
emergency response and/or flooding
needs. Equipm
ent&personnel: To adhere to
schedule and ever-changing weather
forecasts, Ocean Blue employs 5
different teams of stormwater
technicians to work around the OC.

Fire foam testing cleanup on the
tarmac
CLIENT: SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Contract 800740-OB: On-call Solid & Hazardous Waste Management Services Private Tenants: United, Delta, Alaska Airlines, FedEx, Ameriflight, DHL Aviation History: The San Diego Airport is our
largest client in San Diego County).
Ocean Blue is literally at the airport
every day. We have held the singlesource airport contract since 1998 when we opened our San Diego office.
More interestingly, while working for
other environmental companies, district
manager Don Ostrand serviced this
contract long before joining Ocean Blue.
Mr. Ostrand has taken care of the
airport for his entire career.
Summary: We currently respond to
airport spills on the tarmac or in their
storm drain systems. When construction
companies perform large scale projects,
we handle their environmental services
like soil removal. As of 2020, we now
single-handedly maintain all of the
airport’s stormwater infrastructure from
hydrodynamic water separators, slit
trench drains, catch basins and lift
stations. We also manage grease tank
pump-outs & overflows, universal waste
management. Simply put, we do it all.
Since we’ve been with the Airport for so
long, we are imbedded into the culture.
During the recent construction of
Terminal 2 West, we worked to ensure
an environmentally sustainable sound
project. Ocean Blue helped contribute
to the world’s first LEED platinum
airport.
Right: While operating a forklift, a driver
accidentally knocked open a
transformer’s container valve effectively
releasing 300 gallons of Non-PCB
contaminated oil. Ocean Blue arrived
onsite within 30 minutes. Our quick
arrival was critical to spill cleanup
because the transformer’s oil almost
entered a nearby catch basin. As a
precaution, we walled off the exposed
catch basin and protected it with triple
containment. Although the leaking
transformer was initially placed on a
containment pallet, the 300 gallons of oil
quickly overflowed the container. With
our equipment, drum vac and three
technicians, we vacuumed all the oil into
six 55-gallon steel drums. These drums
were then properly disposed of.
