RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Agurto Corporation (dba Pestec), to extend the term from March 31, 2021 to July 31, 2021, to provide structural integrated pest management services at various County facilities, with no change to the payment limit of $1,400,000, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Facilities Maintenance Budget. (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Facilities Services is responsible for managing the contract with the County's structural integrated pest management contractor. This program monitors the County's efforts to control pests while not endangering the environment. Agurto Corporation (dba Pestec) is currently providing pest control at all County sites and facilities.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In January 2021, the Public Works Department conducted a formal solicitation for the next structural integrated pest management contract. The existing contract term is from April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2021. The extension from March 31, 2021 to July 31, 2021 will allow sufficient time for execution of a new contract. This is needed to ensure the County has access to the contractor's services during this time. The contract will be used as needed, with no minimum amount that must be used.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, integrated pest management services with Agurto Corporation (dba Pestec), will be discontinued.
