RECOMMENDED ACTION
Renew the contract with Western Farm Service for soil, plant and water
treatment chemicals for a one-year period in the annual amount not to
exceed $30,000.
DISCUSSION
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency requires herbicides
and pesticides to control and eradicate weeds and insects in the City's
parks, Chemicals are also required to maintain the various public
swimming pools and water fountains throughout the City, In addition, the
Public Works Agency uses chemicals to control the growth of algae in the
City's sewer system and water wells, 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 January 6, 2003, the City Council awarded a contract to Western Farm
Service, a Santa Ana vendor, for a two-year period with provision for
two one-year renewals, The vendor has agreed to renew the contract;
however, the vendor has requested a five percent increase due to
increases from the chemical manufacturers, The vendor has performed
satisfactorily during the past contract period and staff recommends the
final renewal of the contract.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the various departmental Other Materials &
Supplies accounts (object code 6391),
