This project involves the construction of a trash net system at City-owned Pump Station No. 12 located at the junction of the 710 and 91 freeways. A vicinity map of the area is attached as Exhibit A.

The project includes removing the existing trash rack, constructing a storm drain pollution trap netting system within an existing pump station forebay/trash pit, including a steel frame to receive a manufactured netting system, furnishing and installing the manufactured netting system components, modifications to the existing trash pit, and construction of trash racks.
