SUMMARY
The proposed Project would install a continuous deflective separator (CDS) unit in the existing storm drain under Cotter Way for trash capture from the stormwater system as part of the City’s trash reduction mandate from the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board). The CDS unit creates a continuous swirl of stormwater to concentrate and separate trash and debris. This project would be funded by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Water Quality Improvement Fund grant awarded to the City in January 2015.
In May 2022, the City released a call for bids and received two competitive bids. Staff recommends awarding the contract to GSW Construction, Inc., in the amount of $188,600 and a contingency budget of $18,900 for a total amount not-to-exceed $207,500.
This project is categorically exempt from environmental review under Section 15301(c) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines for the operation, repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing facilities.
