RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Golden Bell
Products, Inc. for a three-year term in the amount of $30,000 per year
for the application of insecticidal latex coating in sewer manholes.
DISCUSSION
The City owns and maintains a sanitary sewer collection system
consisting of 390 miles of pipelines and 8,300 manholes. Cockroach
infestation is controlled by applying insecticide in sewer manholes.
The use of insecticidal latex coating provides a cost effective manhole
treatment that remains effective for several years after application.
Due to the specialized materials and equipment required, the City has
historically contracted with a private company for this work.
In April of 2006, the City solicited bid proposals from pest control
firms to perform the required work. Out of two firms that were
identified, only Golden Bell Products, Inc. currently possesses the
required California Department of pesticide License and certifications.
Golden Bell Products, Inc. has provided sewer manhole treatment
services to the City on three prior occasions over the past ten years.
Their work has been of high quality with effective cockroach control
continuing well beyond the two-year warranty period. Based upon the
lack of other qualified firms and the quality work provided, staff
recommends that Golden Bell Products, Inc. be awarded a contract as the
sole source supplier for the application of insecticidal latex coating
in sewer manholes.
The proposed contract will include the treatment of approximately 1,800
sewer manholes per year. Staff recommends that an agreement term of
three years be awarded in the amount of $30,000 per year.
