III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Adoption of this contract will result in semimonthly street sweeping of the unincorporated communities of
North Richmond, unincorporated San Pablo (Rollingwood, Montara Bay neighborhoods), El Sobrante,
Rodeo, Crockett, and portions of Oakley for Fiscal Year 1997/98 and 1998/99. Last year, under the auspices
of the Clean Water Program,Public Works began contracting for routine street sweeping services in portions
of west county. Street sweeping is an important maintenance practice for the Clean Water Program, because
it reduces the amount of debris and sediment entering the storm drain system. If pollutants are not removed
from the gutter and storm drain inlets, they are transported by stormwater through the storm drains directly
to waterways without being treated.
Until last year, departmental policy has been to employ street sweeping for public safety concerns, (e.g.,
removing gravel from roads with heavy bike use) and road improvements (chip seal cleanup), not routine
street sweeping. Exceptions to this policy were Discovery Bay, Alamo (Danville Blvd., Stone Valley Road),
and the Pleasant Hill BART Redevelopment area where the costs of routine street sweeping were covered
by a special assessment or district. Other exceptions include locations receiving the service from another
agency, such as Delta Diablo Sanitary District in Bay Point.
The contractor, Universal Building Services (UBS), competed with five other companies and presented the
lowest bid for the second year in a row. UBS successfully provided the service to a smaller west county area
last year.
IV. Conseauences of Negative Action:
No routine street sweeping will be provided to North Richmond, El Sobrante, Rodeo, Crockett, other
portions of west County and Oakley. The County will not be in compliance with its Municipal Stormwater
Permit with the State Water Quality Control Board.
