HomeMy WebLinkAbout07 - Storm Drain & V-ditch Cleaning ServicesCITY OF NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT Agenda Item No. 7 September 9, 2008 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: General Services Department Mark Harmon, Director, 949 - 644 -3055 mharmon@citynewport-beach.ca.us SUBJECT: Professional Service Agreement With United Storm Water, Inc. For Storm Drain & V ditch Cleaning Services ISSUES: Should the City execute a Professional Services Agreement with United Storm Water, Inc. of City of Industry, CAfor Storm Drain & V -ditch Cleaning services? RECOMMENDATION: 1. Approve the agreement with United Storm Water, Inc. for Storm Drain & V- ditch Cleaning services on a once - yearly basis. 2. Approve a budget amendment in the amount of $17,334.70 from the General Fund Unappropriated Reserves, to fund the increase in cost over the expired contract. DISCUSSION: Currently the City has a contract with Justin's Jetting for $135,000.00 per year to clean 3,208 catch basins, 16,479 feet of v- ditches, and 28 storm drain structures on a yearly basis. This greatly reduces the amount of dirt, debris, and litter that would eventually impact water quality in the harbor and bay. In addition, this permits the storm drain system to divert water from rain and run -off out of the streets in order to prevent flooding. The contract with Justin's Jetting expired on June 30th. On July 30th, a Request for Proposal was mailed to a list of contractors on file with the General Services Department. A mandatory pre - proposal meeting was held on August 6th and attended by seven vendors based throughout Los Angeles and Orange counties. Agreement with United Storm water for Storm Drain & V -ditch Cleaning Services September 9, 2008 Page 2 Three vendors submitted proposals by the August 20th deadline. A summary of the proposed prices is attached, with the lowest proposed price fumished by United Storm Water, Inc. at an annual cost of $152,334.00. Therefore, an agreement with United Storm Water, Inc. is submitted for Council approval. The term of the agreement is for four (4) years and shall be extended for two (2) additional one (1) year terms upon agreement of both parties. This agreement includes an annual rate adjustment based in proportion to changes in the Consumer Price Index to a maximum of 4.0% after each 12 month period. With the rate adjustment taken into consideration, United Storm Water, Inc. represents the best value for the City's storm drain & V -ditch cleaning service needs. FUNDING: The proposed contract is $17,334.70 more per year than the current contract that the City has with Justin's Jetting for $135,000. Consequently, staff is requesting a budget amendment in the amount of $17,334.70 from the General Fund Unappropriated Reserves into Account 3140 -8088 (Operations Support — Contract Services) to fund the difference over the remainder the fiscal year (October 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009). ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This action requires no environmental review, as it is not a project pursuant to CEQA. LEGAL REVIEW: The City Attorney's Office has reviewed this report and the attached agreement.
