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, and thus, we entered another agreement in 2013. We are again requesting a bid waiver, as the company has the knowledge of where the geese are nesting from providing this service for the last two years. 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, 2014 with the option to renew for two more years on an annual basis.
