RECEIVED
APR 2 3 2003
SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE
TOWN OF WAPPINGER
The following companies submitted bids to perform the tick spraying for
our Town recreation areas for 2003:
Waverly Pest Control $4,495.00 per visit
N.Y. Tick Control $4,575.00 per visit
Craig Thomas Pest Control $5,640.00 per visit
The low bidder is Waverly Pest control. They are the same company that won the bid last
year and did the work.
We don't believe they were are thorough as others doing the job in the past
and if possible, we would propose using the second lowest bidder. Even though the
specifications didn't call for it, they sprayed 10 or more feet into the woods all around the
perimeter of our parks. This was indeed a little extra. Another factor was that we had to
supply them with water.
May we have your approval to use New York Tick Company. If so we
would like permission to obtain three (3) P.O.'s in the amount of $4,575.00. One for the
May spraying, one for the late June/July spraying and the last for the Sept/Oct. Spraying.
The funds for this are in recreation account A-7110.4.
