Public Works Agency <br />https://www.santa-ana.org/pw <br />Item # 11 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> Staff Report <br />June 15, 2021 <br />TOPIC: Insecticidal Latex Coating Services for Sewer Manholes <br />AGENDA TITLE <br />Award a Blanket Order Contract in an Amount Not to Exceed $500,000 to Golden Bell <br />Products, Inc., for Insecticidal Latex Coating Services for Sewer Manholes (Specification <br />21-068) (Non-General Fund) <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Award a blanket order contract to Golden Bell Products, Inc. for insecticidal latex coating <br />services in an annual amount not to exceed $100,000, for a total contract amount not to <br />exceed $500,000, including extensions, for a two-year term beginning June 15, 2021 and <br />expiring June 14, 2023, with provisions for three one-year renewal periods exercisable by <br />the City Manager and City Attorney, subject to non-substantive changed approved by the <br />City Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Public Works Agency’s Water Resources Division maintains a sanitary sewer system <br />consisting of 400 miles of pipeline and 9,000 manholes. Bug and insect infestation of the <br />manholes is controlled by applying an insecticidal latex coating. This manhole treatment <br />remains active for 18 months after application, making it a cost-effective and efficient <br />method to control insects. Due to the required specialized materials and equipment, the <br />City contracts with a private company for these services. <br />While the Santa Ana Municipal Code Section 2-807 requires that contracts for City <br />purchases be awarded through a competitive bid process, it allows for the direct award <br />whenever there is only one known service provider. Golden Bell Products, Inc. holds the <br />sole distribution and application rights for insecticidal latex coating within the state of <br />California. This contractor has been providing insecticidal latex coating services to the <br />City for several years, and also provides treatment services to approximately 85 other <br />cities and agencies throughout California, including the Los Angeles County Sanitation <br />District. The proposed contract will provide treatment for roughly 4,000 sanitary sewer <br />manholes on an annual basis. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with the action.
