Explanation
Background:
The Goosebuster LLC was the only bid received in 2012 on an informal bid for geese control. The company did an excellent job of getting the geese under control in 2012. We are requesting a bid waiver, as the company has the knowledge of where the geese are nesting from providing this service in 2012. The Goosebuster LLC controlled the geese along the downtown riverfront where it was noticeable by citizens. This service is necessary in our downtown parks and provides control of the geese before the occurence of special events, and the service protects the public by removing severely injured, deceased, and very aggressive geese. Controlling the goose population also controls the amount of waste produced by the geese. The service contract will be from April 15-November 15 with the option to renew for three years on an annual basis.
