Compliance with this NPDES permit and the <br />Federal Clean Water Act requires the cleaning of all city-owned drainage <br />facilities that lead to the waters of the United States. <br />United Stormwater, Inc. of City of Industry currently provides contract <br />cleaning services to the City. They were selected as the top rated firm <br />during a 2005 selection process from among four firms. <br />United Stormwater, Inc. has provided exceptional service to the City. <br />They have provided rapid response and thorough cleaning of blocked catch <br />basins. United Stormwater, Inc. has assisted the City in meeting all <br />required State and Federal Stormwater requirements. They respond to <br />routine and special requests for cleaning in a timely manner. <br />Due to the high occurrence of Santa Ana winds and recent rain, large <br />amounts of debris has accumulated and blocked City drainage facilities. <br />As a result the Public Works Agency has utilized United Stormwater's <br />services more than anticipated. The Public Works Agency is therefore <br />requesting authorization to amend the contract in the amount of $75,000 <br />to allow United Stormwater to continue to provide catch basin cleaning <br />services through the 2007/08 fiscal year. <br />251-1 <br />
