CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: June 25, 1996
SUBJECT: RENEW WEED, PEST, AND DISEASE CONTROL CONTRACT
DEPARTMENT: Parks, Recreation, and Community Services
Golden Bear Arborists, Inc., is currently concluding the first year of a four-year renewable weed,
pest, and disease control contract with the City of Santa Clarita. Golden Bear Arborists, Inc.,
has provided the City with exceptional service over the past year. Therefore, staff is proposing
to renew the contract between Golden Bear Arborist, Inc., and the City of Santa Clarita for one
additional year for Fiscal Year 1996/97. The contract provides public right-of-way weed control
and street and park tree pest and disease control.
The Fiscal Year 1995/96 contract is at a present cost of $52,000. Actual cost for Fiscal Year
1995/96 services maxed out the budget of $52,000. As to not exceed the $52,000 budget, staff
had reduced services in pest control. Only 30 percent of the Ash trees were controlled, and one
of two Elm Leaf Beetle applications was deleted. Staff is proposing to renew the Fiscal Year
1996/97 contract in the amount of $62,000. The increase will provide for the deficit of Ash and
Elm tree pest control.
Funds for this project have been budgeted for Fiscal Year 1996/97 in the amount of $30,000 in
Account No. 01-9230-227, and $32,000 in Account No. 02-6507-227 for a grand total of $ 62,000.
The City Council approve renewal of contract PR -95-96-043 Weed, Pest, and Disease Control
Contract for Fiscal Year 1996/97 at the cost of $62,000, and authorize the City Manager to sign
all documents.
