This is a Request for Statements of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation for as-needed aquatic weed and algae growth control services at multiple county lake facilities. The RFSQ seeks to develop a Master Agreement consolidating all aquatic growth control services under a single contract vehicle. A mandatory Contractor's Conference will be held on Wednesday, October 3, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. at The Arboretum of Los Angeles County, Palm Room, located at 301 North Baldwin Avenue, Arcadia, California 91007, with attendance strongly recommended. Contractors may schedule site visits using a contact list provided at the conference. Statements of Qualifications are due no later than 12:00 noon on Tuesday, October 16, 2018 at the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation, Contracts Division, 1000 South Fremont Avenue, Unit #40, Building A-9 West, 2nd Floor, Alhambra, California 91803. SOQs submitted after the initial deadline will be evaluated following the execution of initial Master Agreements.

Contractors must meet minimum qualifications including possession of a valid California Pest Control Business License, an Agricultural Pest Control Advisor License (Category E), and a Qualified Applicator's License (Category F), along with a minimum of three years of experience providing aquatic weed and algae growth control services within the preceding five years. The RFSQ does not specify pricing information, set-asides, or funding sources in the available summary. Contractors are encouraged to submit questions prior to or at the Contractor's Conference, as responding to further inquiries after the conference may not be feasible. Additional minimum qualifications and contract specifications are detailed in RFSQ Section 1.4.
