BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department oversees maintenance and repairs for approximately 800,000 square feet of buildings throughout the City. In order to continue to provide services in a timely and efficient manner, Building Maintenance periodically uses various vendors to assist with the workload.
The scope of this Agreement (Attachment 1) provides pest control services at various City facilities on a monthly basis. City Buildings such as City Hall, the Old Courthouse, Police Department, Central Library and Northside Library, Senior Center, Fire Stations and others require regular pest control services. Monthly services consist of an Integrated Pest Management Program (IPM) which includes site visits, inspections, investigations and implementation of remedies to prevent pest occurrences.
DISCUSSION
A Request for Proposal (RFP) process was utilized to solicit proposals for Pest Control Services using IPM best practices. The RFP was advertised in March 2018 and three (3) proposals were opened on April 10, 2018. The qualifications of the proposers were evaluated by staff from the Building Maintenance Division of Public Works. A summary outlining the costs from each proposer is included in Attachment 2, entitled "Pest Control Comparisons".
Staff is recommending approval of a three-year Agreement with Rentokil North America, Inc. DBA Western Exterminator Company (Western Exterminator Company). This company was selected as the top ranked proposal for several reasons including past performance, qualified staffing, experience and cost. Staff is recommending approval of a three-year Agreement with Western Exterminator Company not to exceed $190,406 which includes 3 years of monthly service, $45,000 in additional on-call services and a 10% contingency.
