The County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation is pleased to extend an invitation to you to attend a Contractor's Conference listed below and to submit a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) for As-Needed Aquatic Weed and Algae Growth Control Services for several Department lake facilities.

The minimum qualifications for a Contractor include the 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) as well as a minimum of three (3) years experience within the last five (5) years providing aquatic weed and algae growth control services. Additional minimum qualifications can be found in the attached RFSQ, Section 1.4, Contractor's Minimum Qualifications. A Contractor's Conference will be held at The Arboretum of Los Angeles County, Palm Room, 301 North Baldwin Avenue, Arcadia CA 91007, on Wednesday, October 3, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. Attendance by the Contractor or an authorized representative is not mandatory, but strongly recommended. Contractors are strongly encouraged to submit their questions prior to, or at the conference. After the Conference, it may be impossible to respond to further questions for information.
