The Gateway Water Management Authority (GWMA) is a coalition of municipalities and water agencies responsible for the regional water planning needs of 2 million people in the Gateway Region of Southeast Los Angeles County. While current membership is 30 voting members comprised of cities and water agencies, and Port of Long Beach, the interests, activities and services of the GWMA expand to the entire region regardless of membership.
Earlier this year, the GWMA Board directed staff to prepare and issue a Request for Proposals for Municipal Storm Sewer Catch Basin Cleaning. The Board felt it was necessary and prudent to solicit competitive pricing on behalf of the entire region’s cities for retrofitted and non-retrofitted catch basin cleaning.
GWMA’s role is limited to conducting the competitive proposal process with the Board accepting the proposers that meet the requirements. GWMA is not the contracting agency; and GWMA does not make recommendations to the Gateway Region Cities regarding the proposals. But rather, it is presenting the results of the Request for Proposals process to all Gateway Region Cities wishing to take advantage of the competitive proposal process.
For purposes of the catch basin cleaning proposal process and in order to take advantage of the pricing, eligibility is limited to the following Gateway Regional Cities: Artesia; Avalon; Bell; Bell Gardens; Bellflower; Cerritos; Commerce; Compton; Cudahy; Downey; Hawaiian Gardens; Huntington Park; La Habra Heights; La Mirada; Lakewood; Long Beach; Lynwood; Maywood; Montebello; Norwalk; Paramount; Pico Rivera; Santa Fe Springs; Signal Hill; South Gate; Vernon; and Whittier.
