HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 08052014 - C.28RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Terri Oyarzun d/b/a
Goats R Us (Goats R Us), in an amount not to exceed $400,000 for vegetation management services, for the period
from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost is to be funded through 100% Flood Control District Funds.
BACKGROUND:
In 2011, Contra Costa County entered into an On-Call Contract with Goats R Us to provide vegetation management
services on a variety of County and Contra Costa County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (District)
rights of way and parcels using goats and/or sheep. As this contract expires, the District has determined they have a
need for continued vegetation management services. Goats R Us performed well, reducing fire fuel loads and
optimizing vegetation levels to provide flood and soil erosion protection. The District intends to continue to utilize
Goats R Us to manage vegetation in locations where herbicide applications and/or mowing is not allowed, infeasible,
or not cost effective. As advertised on Bidsync bid number 1401-052, Goats R Us was the only vendor local enough
to remain economical.
