RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise for the 2023 Street Sweeping Services Contract, Project No. 0672-6U2319, to provide routine street sweeping services for curbed streets within unincorporated Contra Costa County, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will be funded by 100% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The County Watershed Program is responsible for ensuring the County’s compliance with the current and reissued National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP) issued by the San Francisco Bay Region of the California Regional Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Permit provisions are met through various pollution prevention programs, including municipal maintenance and reduction of pollutants of concern, to reduce water-quality impacts from urban runoff.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Routine street sweeping helps satisfy the mandated reduction of pollutants to the County’s storm drain system. Street sweeping removes sediment, debris, and other contaminants that might normally enter the storm drain system and flow, untreated, to creeks and other natural waterways.

The Public Works Department will use the 2023 Street Sweeping Services Contract to provide routine street sweeping services of curbed streets within unincorporated Contra Costa County.

The Public Works Department intends to award one $1,000,000 contract to the lowest responsible bidder. The contract will have a term of one year with the option of two (2) one-year extensions, and will be used without a minimum amount that has to be spent.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval from the Board of Supervisors to advertise for this contract, the Public Works Department may be unable to complete routine street sweeping in a timely manner, which may prevent the County from complying with the NPDES MRP provisions. This could result in enforcement action and fines. Neighborhoods may experience accumulation of trash collecting within gutters. They may also experience localized flooding from excess leaves collecting within drainage inlets during the rainy season and may encounter safety issues from the buildup of road-associated debris, such as rocks and aggregates.
