DISCUSSION
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services and the Public Works agencies require herbicides,
pesticides and fertilizers to control and eradicate weeds and insects, and to sustain abundant plant
growth and 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 March 19, 2012 the City Council awarded contracts to Crop Production Services and Waterline
Technologies, Inc., both Santa Ana vendors, for a one-year period with provision for three, one-year
renewals. Crop Production Services has agreed to renew the contract without an increase in pricing;
however, Waterline Technologies, Inc. has requested an average of ten percent increase. The
vendors have performed satisfactorily during the past contract period, and staff recommends the first
renewal of the contract.
