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 are designed to provide quality
products at significant savings based on quantity pricing.
