The District champions clean water in San Diego Bay through various initiatives, studies, inspection, and maintenance activities.

The Stormwater Permit includes actions that must be taken to reduce or minimize the impacts from urban runoff. Routine maintenance and cleaning of the District storm drain system is a requirement of the Municipal Stormwater Permit. Proper cleaning may also prevent flooding and is a way to prevent pollutants from entering the Bay. The District utilizes a storm drain cleaning contractor to assist in completing this task.
Pursuant to BPC Policy No. 110, the District staff issued a Request for Bid (RFB 19-43MA) on November 11, 2019 to provide as-needed storm drain cleaning and maintenance services for a period of three years. A total of five bids were received with one of those bids rejected due to post-bid corrections. Based on their proposed lowest bid and positive references, Downstream Services, Inc., is being recommended for a new as-needed storm drain cleaning and maintenance agreement by District staff. Downstream Services is also the service provider for the existing as-needed storm drain cleaning agreement and has performed well for the District in this capacity.
