DISCUSSION
Both the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency and The Public
Works Agency require herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers to control and
eradicate weeds and insects, to sustain abundant plant growth, and to
maintain healthy trees. Chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and sodium
hypochlorite are required to disinfect public swimming pools, water
fountains, sewer system, and water wells throughout the City. The
chemicals are purchased through the Central Stores warehouse for
distribution to the agencies. The contracts for chemicals are designed to
provide quality products at significant savings based on quantity pricing.
On September 4, 2007, the City Council awarded contracts to Crop Production
Services, Inc., formerly Western Farm Service and Waterline Technologies,
Inc., both Santa Ana vendors, for a one-year period with provision for
three, one-year renewals. The vendors have performed satisfactorily during
the past contact period and have agreed to renew the contracts without an
increase in pricing. Staff recommends the second renewal of the contract.
Annual amounts are based upon past usage and staff's projection for the
next year. 22B-1
