The following companies submitted bids to perform the tick spraying for our Town
recreation areas for 2006.
Bug Busters $4,900.00 per visit
N.Y. Tick Control $5,032.50 per visit
Craig Thomas Pest Control $5,870.00 per visit
The low bidder is Bug Busters. They have stated that they will be requiring the use of
Town water to complete the job. The hoses that they will be using will have anti -siphon
valves to eliminate the possibility of backwash into the water system. They will be using
the NYS approved chemical that was used in previous years.
The second lowest bidder, N.Y. Tick Control, has done and excellent job over the past
years, and we would like to propose using them again this year. N.Y. Tick Control brings
their own water and sprays over 10 feet beyond our required park perimeters. The
amount difference, per spraying, is only $132.50.
May we have your approval to use N. Y. Tick Control again this year. If so, we would
like permission to obtain three (3) P.O.'s in the amount of $5,032.50 each. One P.O. will
be for the May spraying, one for the June/July spraying and the last one for the Sept/Oct
spraying. The funds will come out of Acct. # A-7110.434

Re: Purchase Order request for Tick Spraying

ROBERT L. VALDATI
I am in receipt of your memo requesting a purchase order for tick spraying in town parks.
In your memo you state that you received three bids for this project, and request that the
Town Board authorize the bid for the second lowest bidder, NY Tick Control.
The Town Board is required to authorized bids to the lowest bidder unless there are
circumstances in which it can be justified to exclude that bidder. In your memo, you state
that the lowest bidder, Bug Busters uses an anti -siphon valve to eliminate the possibility
of contaminating the water supply. The reasons you outline in your memo do not
disqualify Bug Busters.
The purchase order request for tick spraying will be on the April 10th agenda, and the
Town Board will be awarding the bid to the lowest bidder Bug Busters.
If you have any questions, or would like to discuss this matter, please contact me.
