Subject:Contract with Contract Sweeping Services, Inc., Countywide. (100% Stormwater Utility Assessment Fee Funds)
Project No. 7517-6W7223
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Routine street sweeping helps satisfy the mandated reduction of pollutants to the County’s storm drain system.
Street sweeping removes sediment, debris, and other contaminants that might normally enter the storm drain
system and flow untreated to creeks and other natural waterways. Adoption of this contract will allow monthly
street sweeping of curbed streets in unincorporated areas of the County to continue in the following four service
areas and unincorporated communities:
- West County (El Sobrante, East Richmond Heights, North Richmond, SW Kensington, Rodeo, Crockett,
Rollingwood, Montalvin/Montara Bay, and Tara Hills)
- Central County (Pacheco, Clyde, Vine Hill, North Concord, Pleasant Hill, and Saranap)
- East County (Discovery Bay)
- South County (Alamo and Camino Tassajara)
The Public Works Department, Watershed Program will administer this street sweeping contract for clean water
compliance. The County Watershed Program is not responsible for nonroutine street sweeping related to road
improvements and maintenance (chip seal cleanup) and/or construction projects.
The contractor, Contract Sweeping Services, Inc., competed against three other companies in an electronic closed
bid process (BidSync) and presented the lowest overall bid.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the approval of the Board of Supervisors, no routine street sweeping service will be provided to residents
of unincorporated Contra Costa County. The County will not be in compliance with its Municipal Stormwater
NPDES Permits with the San Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board(s), which
could result in enforcement action and fines of up to $15,000 per day. Neighborhoods will suffer from the
unsightly accumulation of trash collecting within gutters. They may experience localized flooding from excess
leaves collecting within drainage inlets during the rainy season, and they may encounter safety issues from the
buildup of road associated debris, i.e., rocks and aggregate.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
