DATE: October 22,2001
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Doug Dancs, P.E., Director of Public Works / City Engineer
SUBJECT: AWARD UNIT PRICE/MAINTENANCE/EMERGENCY
SERVICES CONTRACT FOR SEWER/CLEAN - UP AND
CONTAINMENT SERVICES HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
SUMMARY OF REOUEST: %% lv
The proposed City Council action will award a unit price/maintenaxYc emergency
services contract for sewer /clean-up services and hazardous materials soul ource with
United Pumping Service and authorize the City Manager to execute the act.
The public works department is in the process of formalizing all its contract operations so
it has contractors on contract with negotiated unit prices ready to work should an
emergency event happen or if additional work is necessary that can not be performed by
city forces.
The purpose of this contract is to retain the firm of United Pumping Service for both
operators and equipment to clean up and contain sewer spills and other hazardous
materials. Maintenance and emergency service contracts allow the City to have access to
a wide array of equipment and personnel without allocating the resources such as
purchasing high cost equipment that will be underutilized.
There are numerous regulatory requirements that are in effect or on the horizon that will
increase the need for additional resources to be available such as the draft NPDES permit,
the proposed wastewater discharge requirements from the Santa Ana Regional Water
Quality Control Board and the proposed Capacity, Management, Operations and
maintenance regulations CMOM, from the United States Environmental Protection
Agency.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None at this time. Work would only be authorized if it is within a budget or needs to be
repaired because of an emergency situation.
