DISCUSSION
The City has applied for and been awarded funds from the OCTA Measure M2 Environmental
Clean Up - Tier 1 Water Quality Grant Funding Program (ECPF) for two catch basin screen
installation projects. The program designates funds for projects with a transportation nexus that
reduces storm water pollution related to transportation-related runoff.
OCTA, in coordination with the County of Orange, has prequalified contractors to provide purchase
and installation services for automatic retractable screens, connector pipe screen full capture
systems and catch basin inserts under the ECPF. Based on the qualifications and experience
with storm water treatment technology, United Stormwater, Inc. and West Coast Storm, Inc. are
approved by OCTA and the County to provide the catch basin installation services proposed in the
City's successful grant application. Five contractors submitted proposals, and three were
prequalified for the work to be funded by the ECPF program. Based on cost and experience, staff
selected two of the three contractors to construct the approved catch basin screen installation
projects.

EQUIPMENT DESIGN & SPECIFICATIONS REPORT: DRAINPACTm CATCH BASIN INSERT
Description/Design/Engineering
Full Trash Capture
United Storm Water's DralnPacT"' meets the full trash capture definition of the RFP as it is capable of trapping all
particles larger than 5 mm in size.
Equipment & Design Elements
United's DrainPacTm is a treatment control BMP product that captures and treats urban runoff before it enters the
storm drain system (see attached Technical Drawings. This multi-layer filtration devise Is installed in drop inlets or
curb inlets in a manner that does not interfere with lateral line water flow. General specifications of this product are
as follows:
• Frame assembly will be constructed from 12-gauge 304 stainless steel
• Filter liner will be fabricated from a combination of 4 oz non-woven polypropylene filter cloth and PVC
mesh
• Support basket will be constructed from a high density polymer rated at 850 Ib/sq It
This product is custom made in-house to fit any shape or size of catch basin utilizing single or multiple units as
required. The smallest workable catch basins for this product would be 6" x 6. The largest size of a single
DrainPacTm unit would be 48" x 48" for drop inlets and 82" x 12" for curb inlets. Catch basins larger than these
standard sizes would be fitted with multiple units.
Installation Specifications
The DrainPacT"' could be used in conjunction with a CleanScreen"A Automatic Retractable Screen (ARS) and/or
Connector Pipe Screen (CPS) for added effectiveness based on the level of trash and debris that commonly
accumulates at the site. Field inspections of catch basins will determine if this product is appropriate for each
respective storm drain. For drop inlets the product will be gravity held in place and will rest on the existing catch
basin grate shelf. For curb inlets the product will be mounted to the forward wall of the catch basin below the flow
line.
Materials
The DrainPacTM is constructed from non-corrosive materials with the frame and mounting brackets made from
stainless steel; the filter liner is composed of PVC mesh (sides only) for overflow bypass, and non-woven
polypropylene (bottom only) for treating petroleum hydrocarbons; and the support basket Is made from a high
density biaxial geogrid material. See attached Technical Drawings for drop inlet and curb inlet configurations and
material specifications.
Flow Rating
Site appropriate maintenance frequencies of this product will help to ensure effective and trouble free functioning
of this product. Insufficient inspection and/or cleaning frequencies that allow an excess amount of material to
accumulate in the filter liner can significantly affect the flow rate of water through the product. See Filter Testing
Report for observations regarding head loss and Flow Rate Testing and Flow Rate Capacity reports for additional
data.
Estimated Design Life
Design life of the DrainPacTAI is dependent on the flows to the site. Average life of a properly maintained unit is
three to five years for the filter liner before requiring liner change-out, and the stainless steel frame it reusable for
liner replacement which is generally only required due to mishandling/abuse of the product.

25C-10 EXHIB11" A
Performance Effectiveness
Targeted Pollutants
This product has demonstrated both in the field and in the laboratory to be an effective structural treatment control
BMP for capturing trash, sediment, gross solids, oil and grease, and total metals. Recent testing of the DrainPacTm
was conducted by California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo resulted in 83% to 91% removal
efficiency of fine suspended solids with the best removal observed at lower flow rates, and oil and grease removal
efficiency varied from 40% to 80% under the test conditions. Higher rates of oil and grease removal can be
achieved by adding an absorbent sock around the periphery of the products frame (optional). See attached Filter
Testing Report for additional information.
Trash Capture & Storage Capacity
A DrainPacTm has a trash capture and storage capacity equivalent to the area of each unit. For drop inlets the
product will cover the entire length and width of the drain inlet point and standard filter depths are 12" yet can/will
be fabricated shallower to prevent the device from obstructing the outlet pipe of the catch basin. For curb inlets the
product will be fabricated to the length of the curb inlet opening with 12" wide by 12' deep standard dimensions.
Wider and/or shallower devices will be fabricated if/as required based on catch basin configuration.
Overflow or Bypass Flow Capacity
Drop inlet configurations of the DrainPacTm are designed with a center overflow bypass port to prevent flooding in
the event that a unit is full of trash and is no longer filtering. Curb inlet configurations of this product do not require
any type of special overflow bypass feature. If a unit is full of trash and Is no longer filtering water entering the
catch basin will merely flow over the 12" wide device into the catch basin.
Maximum Overflow or Bypass Flow Capacity
The overflow bypass features of the DrainPacT'" described have been proven in the field to withstand a 10-year
storm event without causing flooding.
Siting, Operational & Maintenance
Installation Process
Before the start of installation United's Project Manager will coordinate with the County's Project Manager to
discuss the proposed installation schedule by service zones. For work performed in areas that encroach on traffic
right-of-way, an encroachment permit will be obtained from the appropriate entity and United will develop a written
and approved traffic plan. When proposed work zones have been accepted United will install DrainPacsT"' in the
designated storm drains.
Devices installed in drop inlets will be gravity held in place and will rest on the existing catch basin grate shelf. For
this configuration Installation will require United's Service Staff to remove the traffic grate using a 'traffic grate
puller" tool and will require approximately five minutes to install each device. Devices installed in curb inlets will be
mounted to the forward wall of the catch basin approximately 4' below the flow line or as required based on catch
basin design and/or other Storm Water Devices that may be installed in the same catch basin. This configuration
will require drilling of the interior of the catch basin and Installation of support/mounting brackets (see attached
Technical Drawing) and will require approximately fifteen minutes to install each device.
Site Specific Measurements
The County would have to provide United with storm drain maps, inlet location where the product is proposed for
installation, and approximate lengths and widths of drop inlet openings and lengths of curb inlet openings in order
to provide Entities with cost estimates. Devices would thereafter be custom made to fit each respective storm
drain based on measurements taken by United's Service Staff. This device could be used in conjunction with a
CleanScreen"m ARS and/or CPS for added effectiveness based on the level of trash and debris that commonly
p. 4
25C-11
accumulates at the site. Field inspections of catch basins will determine if this product is appropriate for each
respective storm drain.
Regulatory Permits Required for Installation
No regulatory permits are required for the installation of this product.
Maintenance Requirements
For best performance of the DrainPac'm United Storm Water recommends cleaning by means of industrial vacuum
(usually does not require confined space entry) once during the dry season (June-September) and as often as
monthly during the wet season (October-May) for effective filtration and to prevent the possibility of flooding.
Average number of cleanings is three to four per year. Cleaning is particularly important prior to the wet season
and after the first storm event of 3/4° of rain to prevent the possibility of flooding. Actual scheduling will be based
on United recommendations and customer approval based on county stormwater management ordinances and the
storm drain flows and loads subjected to the site.
Per the local Stormwater Management and Discharge Control Ordinance, BMPs at manned facilities must be
inspected by the discharger before and following predicted rain events, and BMPs at unmanned facilities must be
inspected by the discharger at least once during the rainy season and at least once between each rainy season.
For best performance of the DratnPacTM United Storm Water recommends inspections as often as once during the
dry season (June-September) and in the wet season (October-May) between or during scheduled cleaning events
(depending on actual established schedule). Average number of separate inspections Is three per year. Actual
scheduling will be based on United recommendations and customer approval based on county stormwater
management ordinances and the storm drain flows and loads subjected to the site. Inspection services will ensure
that the product is functioning property and will aid in establishing/changing cleaning schedules accordingly. Any
items in need of repair/replacement should be performed as soon as it is safe to do so. If failure of the product
indicates that it is inappropriate or inadequate to the circumstances, the product must be modified or upgraded to
prevent any further failure in the same or similar circumstances.
Durability
The DrainPacTm is constructed from high quality materials that can withstand normal wear and tear. Any damage
that may be caused by fire, sharp objects, vandalism, or other forms of product mistreatment can be repaired by
replacing the filter liner and/or support basket as needed utilizing the original frame. The durability of this product
will in no way be affected by external factors such as street sweeping and car parking. United Storm Water is not
aware of any incidents of vandalism of the product and may be due in part to the need of special tools for removing
traffic grates and/or manhole covers in order to access the product.
Replacement Parts & Life Expectancy
Any damage that may be caused by fire, sharp objects, vandalism, or other forms of product mistreatment can be
repaired by replacing the filter liner and/or support basket as needed utilizing the original frame. Not only are our
standard rates for new filters economical, yet filter replacements (filter liner and support basket material) that may
be required due to normal wear and tare can be provided at 50% of the cost of a same size new DrainPac7m. No
other replacement parts are required.
Life expectancy of the DrainPacTm is dependent on the flows to the site. Average life of a property maintained unit
is three to five years for the filter liner before requiring liner change-out, and the stainless steel frame it reusable for
liner replacement which is generally only required due to mishandling/abuse of the product.
Warranty Coverage
United Storm Water agrees to repair and or replace the frame assembly of this product at no cost to the purchaser
for a period of ten (10) years from the date of delivery should failure occur during normal use. The purchaser of
this product must be aware that the filter cloth and support basket may become damaged or tom due to retention
of items such as sharp objects, corrosives, or enflamed items. Such damage falls outside of the coverage of this
p. 5
25C-12
warranty yet may be replaced at a discounted rate to the purchaser. See attached DrainPacT"" Warranty.
Aesthetics & Safety
For both drop inlet and curb inlet configurations the DralnPacTM is out of sight and not easily visible by pedestrians.
No part of an installed device can come in contact with a pedestrian and is considered "safe".
Uniqueness of Device
The DrainPacTM is unique in that it is both versatile and economical. All products are custom made to fit any shape
or size of catch basin and United Storm Water will design filter configurations for special/uncommon applications.
The standard filter cloth used for this product is 4.0 oztsq yd, yet heavier fabric weights are available upon request.
This product is also easy to clean and does not necessarily require the use of additional media for absorbing
petroleum hydrocarbons (depending on site conditions), yet absorbent sock material can be easily added to the
frame as an option.

expectancy is minimum 25 years. Stainless steel components should last the lifetime of the
drain itself.
Waranty. All parts and labor is covered for 10 years.
Aesthetics and Safety. All manufacturing is performed with aircraft precision equipment.
No manufacturing of units are performed in the field. Units are delivered assembled and
ready for installation.Al1 parts are put through a timesaver deburring rough edges, resulting
in a product that has no sharp edges. No components of the unit protrude beyond the curb
face whether in the locked or open position. Therefore, parked cars, moving cars, bicyclists,
or pedestrians are not exposed to any protruding safety hazards and cannot damage the unit
as a result.
Uniqueness. The locking mechanism operates on horizontal pressure, not vertical pressure;
this design keeps the units free of debris and sediment. The CAM gear design of the locking
mechanism means no springs that break, no pulley or counter weights that require frequent
maintenance, adjustment, or replacement. The ARS design has few moving pants, a simpler
design is a more efficient, ease of maintenance, and working design. The gate closes upon
water receding, no drainage of weeping buckets or cleaning out of operation components are
needed.

Estimated design life of equipment. Minimum 25 years.
B. Performance Effectiveness for Connector Pipe Screens and Catch Basin Inserts.
Performance. The purpose of the Connector Pipe Screen is designed to retain all trash larger
than 5mm in the catch basin, it prevents trash and debris from entering the storm drain lateral
keeping the trash inside the catch basin. When trash is prevented from entering the lateral
system a reduction in clogged and standing trash and debris within drain laterals result. Trash
reduction meets requirements approved by the County of Los Angeles Regional Water
Quality Control Board. Capturing trash and enabling water flow keeps the storm drain system
operating at its engineered design capacity.
Trash Capture. Capacity is determined by the dimensions of the catch basin, which is
utilized as the receptacle to hold trash captured. For example, a three and a half foot catch
basin "V-depth" will hold an eighteen inch tall screened device with a G inch bypass. The
device is designed to capture trash up to the device's bypass within the catch basin.

8. Paperwork from the day's installation includes BMP report forms on every install, work
orders, time sheets, and confined space entry logs. When the paperwork arrives to the
office the data from BMP report forms and the real-time dispatch is entered into the
ACCESS database. Entering installation information on a daily basis ensures each drain
is tracked and reported timely and accurately.
9. In addition to database input, a daily installation report of installs is sent to the
municipality. Communication of daily installs ensures the job is progressing and
continuing as scheduled.
10. Project Managers perform QAQC: Quality Assessment and Quality Control everyday.
Managers are required to visit installations sites and perform health and safety checks.
This process ensures public safety, workforce safety, no damage to property, as well as
device installation ensuring it is complete and functioning properly.
11. Estimated time required to install each device is 20 minutes.
Connector Pipe Screen Device Installation Process.
1. Bring the CPS unit into the catch basin and set in front of outlet hole. The unit may .
require that you detach the bypass component depending on the size of the catch basin
opening. Establish a definite location and then mark your holes for drilling. Make sure
to mark in a spot that will allow for unit removal through the predrilled keyhole slots.
2. Remove the CPS unit from the installation wall. Drill 3/8" holes where you marked.
Make sure to drill straight into the catch basin wall to avoid mounting difficulties.
3. Hammer 3/8"035" stainless steel anchor bolts into the holes.
4. After all of the anchor bolts are hammered into place, attach the CPS onto the anchor
bolts to assure a proper fit.
5. Remove the bypass top screen with bypass supports. Then position the drop down panels
inside the body of the CPS unit to estimate for custom cuts. The drop- down panels are
designed to bridge the gap between the bottom of the CPS unit and the bottom of the
catch basin which is usually concave. Carefully mark onto the drop down panel where
your custom cuts should go.
6. Make cuts using a compact grinder. Be sure to sand off any sharp edges.
7. Once the drop down panels are custom cut to conform with the catch basin surface, attach
the panels to the body of the CPS unit using bolts provided.
8. Replace the bypass roof and vertical legs to the CPS body. Tighten with bolts provided.
9. Tighten the nuts on all of the anchor bolts and assure a tight fit.

Site-specific Measurements Required.
West Coast Storm, Inc. requires minimum information prior to measuring, only drain
location. In the even there is not clear data on drain locations, we can locate them upon
municipality approval. Information provided to municipalities will include GPS coordinates,
address, as well as catch basin measurements. We can and will work with municipal staff to
acquire the proper information needed to import into a GIS mapping layer database.
Equipped with an industry leading ACCESS database helps us export the information to
create GIS mapping layers.
Regulatory Permits Required for Installation. Confined space entry permitting is required
on all drain installations. 40-hour HAZWOPER training is required for storm drain entry.
Maintenance Requirements.
Preventative Maintenance. Maintenance crews should regularly check catch basins and
establish a maintenance schedule based on the level of debris collected. Some areas will
require more frequent cleaning than others. Catch basins should be cleared of debris to allow
for water to freely flow through the screens.
Pressure-washing the unit may additionally benefit but is not necessary.
Suggested Yearly Maintenance. Visual Inspection:
1. Built-up debris and foreign object debris can hinder the unit's operation. Remove any
visible debris that may be on, in front of, and nearby the unit.
2. Look for any visible signs of vandalism or damage that may compromise the unit's
ability to properly function. Attempted vandalism and slight damage should be inspected
closely to ensure no future damage may result.

Durability. The stainless steel structural framework (ecto-skeletal frame) provides structural
integrity to withstand extreme amounts of water pressure. Installation within the catch basin
ensures no external factors present to damage unit. The unit's stainless steel construction
allows us to offer a ten year warranty without hesitation.
Availability of Replacement Parts and Life Expectancy. Manufacturing all components
in-house is key, we are not subject to outside vendors or distributors out of inventory. In the
event, replacement parts are needed, we will have your item readily available. Life
expectancy is minimum 25 years. Stainless steel components should last the lifetime of the
drain itself.
Waranty. All parts and labor is covered for 10 years.
Aesthetics and Safety. All manufacturing is performed with aircraft precision equipment.
No manufacturing of units are performed in the field. Units are delivered assembled and
ready for installation. All parts are put through a timesaver debuiring rough edges, resulting
in a product that has no sharp edges.
Uniqueness. The stainless steel structural framework (ecto-skeletal frame) provides
structural integrity to withstand extreme amounts of water pressure. The bypass maintenance
hatch is specially designed for ease of drain cleaning operations. Drop down extension plates
enable conformity to the catch basin interior without compromising the unit's and structural
strength.
