Maintenance Services • Cleaning of 800 catch basins (utilizing a vactor truck or equivalent equipment) • Adequate decanting and disposal of catch basin material at the assigned dumping location shown in Exhibit I: Catch Basin Dumping Location.

These locations will be shown to the selected contractor and will be locked after 2pm each weekday unless access is coordinated ahead of time with the Stormwater Program Coordinator. • Grit Pile Capacity will be monitored by City Staff, however it is the responsibility of the contractor to work closely with the Stormwater Program Coordinator regarding anticipated grit dumping volumes to ensure the City provides adequate space. b. Inspection Services – Contractors selected to perform catch basin cleaning will be required to obtain and utilize a mobile device (iPad recommended) with the WorkOrderVUE app. Data collected during inspections will be used to measure against current target levels.
