Oakland, CA 94612

Dear Board Members:

SUBJECT: ADOPT THE RESOLUTION THAT APPROVES PROJECT PLANS AND

SPECIFICATIONS NO. 2362 AND AUTHORIZES THE
ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF FULL
TRASH CAPTURE DEVICES IN THE VICINITY OF MEEKLAND
AVENUE AND LOMA VERDE DRIVE, IN SAN LORENZO, ALAMEDA
COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that your Board:

1. Adopt the resolution that approves Project Plans and Specifications No. 2362 for the installation
of full trash capture devices in the vicinity of Meekland Avenue and Loma Verde Drive, in San
Lorenzo, Alameda County, California; and

2. Authorize and direct the Clerk of the Board to advertise for bids for construction of the Project,
with bids to be received by the Director of Public Works by Tuesday, January 29, 2019.

SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:

Since the adoption of the 2009 Municipal Regional Stormwater NPDES Permit (MRP), the County
has focused on long term infrastructure improvements that will provide durable, reliable methods of
compliance with C.10 Trash Load Reduction requirements. The County has invested time, effort and
resources into pursuing large, full trash capture devices, which offer more certain and permanent
trash reductions than other management devices over less reliable visual assessment methods. In
2016, County staff performed an extensive field study to update the County’s Trash Generation Rate
Map and Long Term Trash Reduction Plan, developed to identify and prioritize sites for full trash
capture devices, maximizing the use of large devices. Two locations were identified for installation
of these devices.

With the installation of this large full trash capture device at Meekland Avenue, in conjunction with
an upcoming installation at Estudillo Canal, the County expects to attain a 62.6% trash reduction in a
majority of the County’s high and medium trash generation rate areas. This, combined with the
reduction for existing full trash capture (9%) devices and source control action credit (10%), will
take the County to 81.6% Trash Load Reduction by July 1, 2019. The MRP requires an 80% trash
reduction to the 2019 trash generation baseline level by July 1, 2019.

The project consists of construction of a large underground reinforced concrete structure to connect
to an existing 5’x5’ reinforced concrete box culvert and a 54” diameter reinforced concrete pipe, and
house the full trash capture devices and allow clean water to discharge to San Lorenzo Creek.

The Project has been determined to be categorically exempt under the California Environmental
Quality Act.

SELECTION AND CRITERIA:

This will be a publicly bid construction contract. The current M/WBE goals require that contractors
show good faith efforts to subcontract with minority-owned business enterprises (MBE) and women-
owned business enterprises (WBE). For projects over $100,000, bidders are encouraged to meet a
15% MBE and 5% WBE participation goal. Construction contracting opportunities are posted in
Plan Rooms, local trade organizations, and published in local ethnic newspapers.

To convey the M/WBE goals to interested contractors, PWA will hold a mandatory pre-bid meeting
to discuss the M/WBE goals and to facilitate relationships between contractors and subcontractors.

FINANCING:

Funding for this contract is included in the Public Works Agency’s Road Fund Fiscal Year 2018-
2019 Approved Budget. There will be no impact to the County General Fund, and no increase in net
County cost as a result of this action.

VISION 2026 GOAL:

The installation of full trash capture devices advances the 10X Goal of preventing and eliminating
the presence of environmental contaminants in our communities, thus helping us to ultimately
achieve our shared vision of a Healthy Environment.

Yours truly,

Daniel Woldesenbet, Ph.D., P.E.
