Public Works & Transportation Committee 6 24 25 Agenda Item D3 Agreement 32500487

The City of Oxnard's Public Works and Transportation Committee reviewed and recommended approval of a contract with Craig Pest Services for landscape pest control services at city parks and other landscape areas. The agreement spans an initial three-year term from July 16, 2025, to July 15, 2028, with options for two additional one-year extensions, not to exceed a total of $660,000 over five years. The contract includes monthly pest control services targeting pests such as gophers, ground squirrels, mice, rats, and bees, as well as on-call services for unscheduled pest issues at other city facilities. The procurement process involved a request for bids published in January 2025, with Craig Pest Services submitting the lowest total bid and meeting all city contractual requirements. Funding for the contract is included in the fiscal year 2025-2026 budget, with future funding subject to annual budget approvals and a 3% annual inflation adjustment factored into the total contract amount.
