Site work for a road / highway in East Palo Alto, California. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway.

The City of East Palo Alto is requesting proposals from qualified professional engineering consultants for the City of East Palo Alto Trash Capture Device project. Since the adoption of the first Municipal Regional Permit (MRP) in 2009, the City of East Palo Alto has spent significant resources identifying trash-generating areas and sources within its jurisdiction, and is taking proactive steps to address trash capturing through the installation of a Large Full Trash Capture System. This system intends to significantly reduce municipal trash, demonstrating the City's commitment to a cleaner and healthier community. The goal of this project is to guarantee that the City of East Palo Alto, Caltrans, and the City of Menlo Park are well-positioned to comply with the requirements of MRP 3.0. Compliance with these requirements will help ensure that 100% of trash is captured and doesn't cause any harm to the environment by June 2025. Full details as well as all pertinent exhibits/attachments can be found in the full Request for Proposals (RFP) document attached below. Any questions regarding this advertisement can be directed to Anwar Mirza at amirza@cityofepa.org. The City of East Palo Alto (City) is requesting proposals from experienced consultants to provide comprehensive consulting services for the installation of an underground full trash capture device on Newbridge Street, west of the intersection with Saratoga Avenue. The chosen device, either a baffle box or HDS unit, will be installed onto an existing 60-inch RCP pipe located approximately 10 to 15 feet below ground. Due to the large upstream drainage area, an offline configuration will be necessary for the successful installation of either device. There appears to be sufficient public right-of-way to accommodate the installation without causing any disruption to other utility services in the area. The scope of work for this project includes environmental review, conceptual and detailed design, permitting, and ongoing design support during the construction phase. The City is seeking a qualified consultant to provide expert guidance and ensure the successful implementation of this important infrastructure project. Requested consulting services include an evaluation of options for trash capture devices, environmental review and permitting services, surveying as necessary for design, hydraulic analysis of the impacts of installing the device, and structural analysis as required. The Project is funded by Caltrans through a Cooperative Agreement with the City of East Palo Alto. The Cooperative Agreement provides an amount not to exceed $2,225,000 for design and construction. The City of East Palo Alto is the Sponsoring and Implementing Agency. The successful consultant will be required to perform all work in accordance with the requirements of the Cooperative Agreement (Attachment B) including compliance with all local, state, and federal requirements. The Project entails developing and analyzing alternatives and implementing the preferred alternative for trash capture solution to comply with the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Board's Municipal Regional Permit 3.0. The consultant will evaluate available trash capture device solutions, perform hydraulic analysis, evaluate constructability and maintenance requirements of the analyzed options, provide conceptual level construction cost estimates of the recommended solution, complete environmental analysis and permitting, and provide 30%, 60%, 95%, bid package design services and cost estimates.
