SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Contract with Revel Environmental Manufacturing Inc., for Purchase and Installation of Small Trash Capture Devices in Various Locations Throughout the City in an Amount Not-to-Exceed $430,000
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts the attached resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract with Revel Environmental Manufacturing Inc., to purchase and install small trash capture devices for stormwater compliance in an amount not-to-exceed $430,000.
SUMMARY
To comply with the Municipal Regional Permit (MRP), the regulatory stormwater protection program of the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board), the City must install trash capture devices to treat or filter stormwater, preventing trash from entering the waters of the state. Staff solicited quotes for the purchase and installation of small trash capture devices in storm drain inlets in various locations throughout the City and received a quote from one contractor. Staff recommends Revel Environmental Manufacturing Inc., (REM) based on the City’s previous positive experience contracting with the firm. REM has demonstrated professionalism, knowledge of trash devices, and good quality devices within the City’s storm drain system over the past few years. If approved, staff will use funds awarded to the City through the EPA’s Water Quality Improvement Fund Grant, to purchase and install the small trash capture devices. The EPA grant funds are required to be spent by October 2021.
