Agenda Item No. 9
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: George Murdoch, Acting Municipal Operations Department Director - (949) 644-

TITLE: Agreement with Downstream Services, Inc to Provide Storm Drain System Cleaning
Services
ABSTRACT:
The City utilizes a contractor to perform cleaning services for the City's storm drain system which includes
catch basins, continuous deflective separation units, and v- ditches.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the five -year agreement with Downstream Services to provide cleaning services of the storm
drain system at a total not -to- exceed cost of $841,287.50, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
execute the agreement.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
There are adequate funds in Municipal Operations budget to fund these services this fiscal year, and funds
for these services will continue to be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years.
DISCUSSION:
In an effort to improve bay and ocean water quality, the Municipal Operations Department cleans 11
continuous deflective separation units, 29 storm drain structures, 3,236 catch basins, and 17,090 feet of v-
ditches on an annual basis. This reduces the amount of dirt, debris, and litter that could impact water
quality. In addition, this diverts rain water and run -off out of the streets in order to prevent flooding.
In August, the Department solicited competitive proposals for contractors to perform storm drain system
cleaning services. Two proposals were received, including one from the contractor most recently providing
the services. The proposals were scored by a five - member review panel based on qualifications and
experience as well as cost. The total scores and annual costs are below.
NE
Contractor Aggregate Score Annual Cost
Recent Contract - $152,335
Downstream Services 85.80 $168,258
United Pumping 75.75 $216,866
Downstream Services and United Pumping received similar scores based on qualifications and
experiences. However, Downstream Services is able to provide the cleaning services at a cost nearly
$50,000 lower than United Pumping, and 10% higher than the most recent contract. Therefore, an
agreement with Downstream Services is submitted for Council approval. The term of the agreement is for
five (5) years. This agreement includes an annual rate adjustment based in proportion to changes in the
CPI of a maximum of 2.5% after each 12 month period.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
This action requires no environmental review, as it is not a project pursuant to CEQA.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at
which the City Council considers the item).

4.2 Upon the first anniversary of the Effective Date and upon each
anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter, the billing rates set forth in Exhibit B
('Billing Rates ") shall be adjusted in proportion to changes in the Consumer Price Index,

multiplying the Billing Rates in Exhibit B by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
value of the Consumer Price Index for the calendar month three (3) months preceding
the calendar month for which such adjustment is to be made, and the denominator of
which is the value of the Consumer Price Index for the same calendar month
immediately prior to Effective Date. The Consumer Price Index to be used in such

published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If both

however, shall the amount payable under this Agreement be reduced below the Billing
Rates in effect immediately preceding such adjustment. The maximum adjustment
increase to the Billing Rates, for any year where an adjustment is made pursuant to this
Section, shall not exceed 2.5% of the Billing Rates in effect immediately preceding such

Contractor or any of Contractor's employees or agents, to be the agents or employees
of City. Contractor shall have the responsibility for and control over the means of
