Los Angeles County Department of Public Works <br />Contract No. 2017-AN014 <br />As -Needed Emergency Removal of Hazardous Material <br />Contract Value: $3,300,000 / Year <br />Date:1995 — Present <br />Contact: Adriana Flores — Civil Engineer <br />Phone & Email: 626.458.7390 / aflores@dpw.lacounty.gov <br />Address: 900 S. Fremont, Alhambra, CA 91803 <br />Emergency Response: The Los <br />Angeles County Department of <br />Public Works (LACDPW), has the <br />largest underground storm drain <br />system in the world. For the last 25 <br />years Ocean Blue has been the <br />single source contractor called <br />upon to intercept any spills and/or <br />illegal discharges into this system. <br />Ocean Blue has the fastest and <br />most experienced Hazmat crews in <br />Southern California. Spills have <br />included but are not limited to: <br />factory fires, chemical leaks, milk <br />spills, oil releases and paint spills. <br />Our staff is very familiar with the <br />County's layout of channels, storm <br />drains and catch basins. Our <br />Emergency Response Units are <br />pre -stocked with containment <br />materials, confined space entry <br />equipment and more. <br />Waste Management: Every 90 days <br />our crews visit the County's 50+ <br />locations to collect over 100 drums of <br />hazardous waste. County yards <br />include waste streams from the Road <br />Maintenance Division, Operational <br />Services Division, Headquarters and <br />the Flood Maintenance Division. We <br />also pump the County's waste oil <br />storage tanks & clarifiers on an as - <br />needed basis. <br />Homeless Encampments: Since the <br />2008 housing crisis, Southern <br />California has had a surge in <br />homeless encampments. Because of <br />our specialty in handling hazardous <br />wastes—bio hazardous (i.e. feces, <br />urine, vomit, needles), oils, acids, <br />aerosols —we now perform <br />homeless encampment cleanups <br />every day for the County. We are <br />proficient in segregating hazardous <br />waste from regular trash. <br />Page M of N <br />
