CLEAN LAKES.IN.Ce
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Clean Lakes, Inc. (CLI) is submitting this proposal in
response to a Request for Bid (RFB) from the City of Alameda (City) to provide professional
aquatic plant management, trash debris control, and water quality monitoring services for the
South Shore Lagoons.
The South Shore lagoon system consists of five individual lagoons linked together by
approximately 3,070 linear feet of 60 -inch reinforced concrete pipe. The lagoon system was
constructed in the late 1950's and early 1960's, when the existing San. Francisco Bay shoreline
was filled to create additional single family residential units, some multi- family structures, and a
few commercial properties. The lagoons are approximately two miles in length, have a total
surface area of approximately 50 acres, and vary in depth from one foot at the perimeter walls to
approximately eight feet in the center.
CLI provide professional aquatic plant management, trash/debris control, and water quality
monitoring services for the City of Alameda and the South Shore Lagoons f rom the mid 1980's
through November 2001, so our understanding of the system and the maintenance requirements
is well understood.
In. addition to providing professional aquatic vegetation control services, CLI provides
professional services for water quality monitoring on a weekly basis that includes weekly sample
collection of water samples for analyses of Total Coliform, Fecal. Coliforrn, E. call, and/or
En.terococcus at brackish and freshwater sites in the Malibu Creep watershed.. CLI is responsible
for all aspects of collecting samples, receiving results, quality assurance, and comparing against
exceedence standards. Data Management requirements and submittal of weekly and monthly
bacteria TNII7L
monitorin g p y g reports to City of Agoura Hills, who acts as the lead agency for
watershe d partners (http i 2ndLeve /monitorin table.html).
