STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BEN KIM, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JULY 25, 2023
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE STORM WATER CATCH BASIN UPGRADE
PROJECT CONTRACT
SUMMARY
In May 2021 the City Council awarded a contract for a Storm Water Catch Basin Upgrade project
to United Storm Water, Inc. Due to the project scope of work including work that would affect
catch basins owned by Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW) the City
was required to obtain a permit from LACDPW. The permit process took over one year to complete
and work began thereafter in late 2022. An amendment to extend the term of the contract is needed
to proceed with processing payments to the Contractor. Staff recommends that the City Council
authorize the City Manager to sign and execute an amendment to extend the term of the agreement.
DISCUSSION
A Notice Inviting Bids was published in local newspapers and trade publications for the Storm
Water Catch Basin Upgrade Project on March 18'' and March 25d, 2021.On May 11, 2021, United
Storm Water, Inc. (Contractor), was awarded the contract in the amount of $182,573.00. The
project consisted of the installation of approximately 256 full trash capture Connector Pipe Screen
(CPS) devices at various storm drain catch basins located in the City. An estimated 221 catch
basins were identified as LACDPW owned. LACDPW requires that the City obtains a permit for
work affecting their catch basins. Staff and the Contractor began the permit process to obtain a
permit from LACDPW for the project in August 2021. The permit was issued by the County in
September 2022.
Construction for the project began in October 2022 and was completed in May 2023. The work
resulted in the installation of 132 CPS units within the City. During the course of construction
there were various locations throughout the City where CPS units were unable to be installed.
There will be a need for a future project (Phase II) to install trash capture devices on the remaining
catch basins without devices in the City. An amendment to extend the term of the agreement to
June 30, 2023 is needed to proceed with processing payment to the Contractor for work that has
been completed.
