RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts the attached resolutions (Attachments II and III) authorizing the City Manager to:
1. Negotiate and execute a Cooperative Implementation Agreement with Caltrans to fund the design and construction of two large trash capture devices on Arf Avenue and Tennyson Road to remove trash from stormwater with a cost not-to-exceed $3 million to be funded by Caltrans; and
2. After the Agreement with Caltrans is executed, negotiate, and execute a Professional Services Agreement with Schaaf & Wheeler for engineering services related to the installation of the two Trash Capture Devices not-to-exceed $200,000 to be funded by Caltrans.
SUMMARY
To comply with the trash reduction requirements of the Municipal Regional Stormwater Permit (MRP), the City is collaborating with Caltrans to fund the design and construction of two large trash capture devices within the City's storm drain system to capture trash before the waters flow to the San Francisco Bay. One device will be located at Arf Avenue near Hesperian Blvd and one at Tennyson Road near I-880. The two projects mutually benefit the City and Caltrans as the area treated by the two large trash capture devices includes City and Caltrans right of way (ROW). The cooperative implementation agreement includes execution of the projects by City staff with the project budget paid by Caltrans. The agreement with Caltrans will be executed prior to spending funds for the design or construction of the projects to ensure Caltrans will reimburse the City for all costs.
