CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: October 27, 1992
SUBJECT: Weed Abatement Services
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Streets Maintenance Division requires weed abatement services for
FY92/93. Contracting this service to an outside contractor will allow Streets Maintenance to
assume tasks which the City is currently paying Los Angeles County to perform. Staff has
determined it would be more cost effective to contract out the chemical spraying tasks for
weed abatement in order to assume more costly labor-intensive tasks. A request for sealed
bids was advertised with the following bids received on October 8, 1992:
LUPPLI -3 CITY AMOUNT
Arbor Tree Surgery Paso Robles $2,911.35
Eric Chamberlain, Weed Control Claremont $5,297.50
Golden Bear Arborists, Inc. Monrovia $5,570.00
Pestmaster Services Bishop $6,519.00
Staff was unable to identify any local sources for this contract. Staff also corrected an
addition error in the bid submitted by Eric Chamberlain, Weed Control. Bid price submitted
was $5,797.50 but should have been $5,297.50 as indicated above. Amounts listed above are
the sum of hourly, daily, weekly, and overtime hourly rates for all personnel required by .
contract for purposes of price comparisons only.
Staff has reviewed the responses and recommends award of GS -92-93-08 to Arbor Tree
Surgery as the lowest, most -qualified bidder.
