FILE NUMBER
Award a contract to Golden Bell Products, Inc. to treat sanitary sewer manholes with insecticidal latex
coating for a one-year period, with provision for three one-year renewals, in an annual amount not to
exceed $50,000.
DISCUSSION
The City owns and maintains a sanitary sewer collection system consisting of 390 miles of pipelines
and 8,300 manholes. Cockroach infestation is controlled by applying insecticide in sewer manholes.
The use of insecticidal latex coating provides a cost effective manhole treatment that remains
effective for several years after application. Due to the specialized materials and equipment required,
the City has historically contracted with a private company for this work.
Golden Bell Products, Inc. has the sole distribution and application rights for insecticidal latex coating
within the state of California. It provides treatment services to the Los Angeles County Sanitation
District as well as to approximately 60 other cities and agencies in California, and has been providing
this service to the City of Santa Ana for the past six years. Their work has been of high quality with
effective cockroach control continuing well beyond the two-year warranty period. The proposed
contract will provide treatment of approximately 2000 sanitary sewer manholes per year.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Sanitary Sewer Service Fund accounting unit (no.05617640 62300).
