Board of Trustees Meeting June 10, 2008 |
Agenda Topic: New Business
Discussion and/or approval to
purchase RIFA and mosquito control products from the lowest responsible bidder
from Fund #7800.1.500 in an amount not to exceed $930,000.00. James Saulnier - Operations Manager
Background:
The Field Operations Department
needs to purchase control products for the mosquito and RIFA summer and fall
programs. These control products are
needed to replenish inventories of listed products and to continue the
intensified control program of RIFA. The increase in the volume of ALTOSID briquette
purchases relates to the dramatic rise in the number of area green pools. The District uses these briquettes extensively
in green pools for mosquito control.
