What LA County Parks and Recreation is buying
The Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation is seeking contractors to provide as-needed aquatic weed and algae growth control services. This opportunity aims to establish a Master Agreement to consolidate these services across several lake facilities within the department.
This is a chance for specialized firms to secure ongoing work with a major county agency, providing essential maintenance for public recreational areas.
Key dates and deadlines
This is a continuous solicitation, meaning the County accepts responses on a rolling basis. While an initial submission deadline was October 16, 2018, you can still submit your Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) now. SOQs received after the initial deadline will be evaluated after the initial Master Agreements have been executed.
There was a Contractor's Conference on October 3, 2018. While attendance was not mandatory, it was strongly recommended for asking questions and obtaining a contact list for site visits.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is ideal for firms specializing in aquatic pest control and environmental management. To qualify, contractors must possess a valid California Pest Control Business License, an Agricultural Pest Control Advisor License (Category E), and a Qualified Applicator’s License (Category F).
Additionally, firms need a minimum of three years of experience within the last five years providing aquatic weed and algae growth control services. This is a good fit for experienced, licensed pest control businesses with a strong track record in aquatic environments.
