Board hears complaints about pest-control provider, recommends re‑running bid
Summary
Board members reported missed service visits by the district's pest-control provider (Honor Guard) after the company's sale and recommended re-opening the solicitation and personally inviting local vendors; item to be placed on the January agenda.
During the workshop the board discussed procurement for pest-control services after staff reported only one bid had been received and principals raised concerns that the provider had missed scheduled visits.
An unidentified speaker (Speaker 5) said the prior vendor had sold and the new company, Honor Guard, had not been meeting contractual expectations: "none of the principals have been happy with them, and they have not been showing up like they were supposed to." Speaker 5 recommended re-opening and re‑advertising the bid and personally inviting other local pest-control companies to submit proposals.
Board members asked staff to place the matter on the January agenda so the district can re-run the solicitation with additional outreach. No formal motion or final contract decision was recorded during the workshop.
The board also discussed logistical details such as ensuring the solicitation is posted to the district website and having maintenance and procurement staff follow up with named companies for personal invitations.
