DISCUSSION:
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) provides Measure M grant funding
opportunities to support cleaning urban and storm water runoff associated with
transportation corridors. City staff has identified and prioritized several locations within
the City where storm water trash & debris interceptors could be installed to improve
runoff water quality before it enters the bay or ocean. As part of this effort, staff then
applied for and received approval of two OCTA grants to fund the design and
construction of two Continuous Deflection Separator (CDS) trash & debris interceptors
at two high priority locations. The two CDS structures to be installed as part of this
project are on 42" storm drain lines that drain into the open bioswale along Newport
Boulevard just south of Industrial Way. The first location is in the embankment adjacent
to Newport Boulevard just south of 15th Street. The second location is in the back of
Corporation Yard near the transfer station. These two storm drain lines receive heavy
street litter flows during storm events. At times, the amount of street litter entering the
bioswale is so heavy that the outlet pipe clogs, requiring Municipal Operation workers to
clear the pipe to prevent Newport Boulevard from flooding. These CDS Units will
capture the street litter before it enters the bioswale and continues to the bay.
At 9:00 A.M. on May 23, 2012, the City Clerk opened and read the following bids for this
project:
