SUBJECT
Title
Authorize a five-year service price agreement for feral hog control and abatement services for the Dallas Water Utilities Department - Striker Outfitters LLC, most advantageous proposer of seven - Estimated amount of $2,227,500.00 - Financing: General Fund ($339,916.50), Stormwater Drainage Management Fund ($843,791.75), Dallas Water Utilities Fund ($843,791.75), and Sanitation Operation Fund ($200,000.00) (subject to annual appropriations)
Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service price agreement is to establish firm pricing for services, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This service price agreement will provide for feral hog control and abatement services for Dallas Water Utilities Department. Feral hogs pose a potential hazard to humans as they can carry diseases which can be transferred in the City's waterways. Feral hogs are currently present in the City's parks, golf courses, levee systems, and other areas causing damage to the City and residential property. Additionally, feral hogs travel via creeks, rivers, and levee systems (flood plains) foraging for food and water sources.
This agreement will provide for humane trap and removal of an entire group to aid in feral hog abatement. The traps will be removed and relocated or remain at the current site based on the designed strategic plan. Trapped feral hogs will be moved to a United States Department of Agriculture inspected meat processing plant approved for slaughter-exotic for disposal, or a Texas Animal Health Commission approved feral swine holding facility.
A five-member committee from the following departments reviewed and evaluated the qualifications:
• Dallas Water Utilities Department (2)
• Park & Recreation Department (2)
• Office of Procurement Services (1)*
*The Office of Procurement Services evaluated cost and local preference.
The committee selected the successful respondents on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications under the following criteria:
• Approach 35 points
• Cost 30 points
• Experience 30 points
• Local Preference 5 points
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes. To further increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services uses historical solicitation information, the Internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors.
On November 10, 2015, the City Council authorized a living wage policy that requires contractors to pay their employees a “living wage” rate as established annually by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Living Wage Calculator for Dallas County by Resolution No. 15-2141. The calculated living wage during the solicitation process of this contract is $23.06; the selected vendor meets this requirement.
