TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
SUBMITTED BY: Matthew R. Fore, General Services Director SUBJECT: Award of Purchase Order to T he Terminix International Company Limited Partnership for T ermite Treatment Services at the Goleta Community Center Campus
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Manager or his designee to award a purchase order and execute all required d ocuments using Cooperative Purchase Agreement (Contract No. 3280 -20- 7210-01) with The Terminix International Company Limited Partnership for termite fumigation services at the Goleta Community Center Campus , for a total not-to-exceed amount of $53,400.
BACKGROUND:
The City acquired the Goleta Community Center campus in 2013. The Goleta Valley Community Center organization managed the campus until December 31, 2022; the City assumed direct management of the facility on January 1, 2023. The City has no r ecord that structures on the campus, including the main Community Center building and the adjacent classrooms , have ever been treated for termites. City Staff have recently observed visual signs of termite damage in several areas, including an exterior woo d bench that was subsequently removed, the gazebo on the front lawn, and the exterior fascia of tenant spaces occupied by CommUnify, Rainbow School, and Resilience Fitness.
DISCUSSION
On November 1, 2023, the City engaged the Terminix Company (Terminix) to conduct a termite inspection of the main building. The inspection revealed evidence of both drywood and subterranean termites. Drywood termite activity was identified in the roofline, floor, and exposed wood members discovered during the recent seismic improvement project.
Staff suspects that the infestation may extend into inaccessible areas that were not inspected. Terminix recommends fumigation of the entire campus to address the current infestation and prevent further damage, including the adjacent tenant spaces (CommUnify, Rainbow School, and Resilience Fitness), which are connected to the main building.
1 Meeting Date: October 1, 2024
Section 3.05.100 of the Goleta Municipal Code allows the City to obtain equipment and services through a cooperative bidding procedure t hat is conducted by another local, state, or federal agency. This allows the City to take advantage of the cooperative purchasing award and competitive contract pricing. The proposed agreement with Terminix was awarded through a competitive bidding process by OMNIA, a cooperative purchasing program, of with the City is a member.
Contingent on City Council approval, the fumigation will begin on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, and be completed on Saturday, November 30, 2024. On Friday, the vent cap will be re moved to start the post-treatment aeration process. On Saturday morning, Terminix will inspect the interior and assess the conditions. If all is satisfactory, the building will be cleared for occupancy.
As a safety precaution, temporary fencing will be installed around the perimeter of the campus to prevent unauthorized entry. Moreover, No Entry and other warning signs will be posted around the facility perimeter.
On September 12, 20 24, General Services Staff and Terminix personnel conducted an on-site information session with tenants and other stakeholders to distribute information and to answer questions about the treatment process. Additionally, Terminix staff provided tenants with guidance on preparing spaces for fumigation.
Following City Council approva l, Staff will execute a purchase order with Terminix for $53,400.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
Sufficient budget exists in the Fiscal Year 202 4-25 Budget. Therefore, Staff is not requesting additional appropriations with this Council action.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council could direct staff to request informal bids for the services instead of approving the use of the competitively bid cooperative contract.

Bus. & Prof. Code §8516.
2. INITIAL TERM; RENEWAL. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date of initial treatment of the Structures with the Tent Defend System and shall continue thereafter for one year (the “Initial Term”), unless terminated earlier as set forth herein. Customer may extend the Initial Term for additional one year periods (each a “Renewal Term”) for so long as Customer owns the property described on the Inspection Graph by paying the Annual Renewal Term Fee set forth above prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term. Terminix reserves the right to revise the Annual Renewal Fee following the expiration of the second Renewal Term.
3. NOTICE OF WORK COMPLETED AND NOT COMPLETED. Within ten (10) business days of the date of the completion of the initial fumigation service, Terminix will file with the California Structural Pest Control Board and furnish to customer a copy of the written Notice of Work Completed and Not Completed in accordance with Cal.

4. FEES. Customer shall pay the fees for the initial treatment of the Structures with the Tent Defend System and Services for the Initial Term and any Renewal Term based upon the Payment Option selected by Customer.
5. INSPECTION GRAPH. This Inspection Graph prepared by Terminix and provided to Customer is a record of a visual, non-destructive inspection by Terminix of certain readily accessible areas of the identified property for visible termite infestation/ damage. Terminix is not responsible for repairs to damages identified on the Inspection Graph. In addition, hidden damage may exist in concealed, obstructed or inaccessible areas. No attempt to remove siding, plastic or sheetrock insulation, carpeting, paneling, etc. to search for hidden damage was made. Terminix cannot guarantee that the damage disclosed by visual inspection of the premises depicted in the Inspection Graph represents the entirety of the damage which may exist as of the date of the initial control application. Terminix shall not be responsible for repair of any damages to the Structures including without limitation, any damage which existed in areas or in structural members which were not accessible for visual inspection as of the date of the Inspection Graph. If X (circled or not) appears on the Inspection Graph, it is advisable that a qualified building expert inspect the property to determine what effect, if any, the infestation/damage has upon the structural integrity of the property.
6. LIMITED PLAN SERVICES; NO COVERAGE FOR DAMAGES. The sole obligation of Terminix during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, as applicable, of this Agreement (hereinafter the “Services”) is as follows: (a) Treat the Structures as described on the Inspection Graph attached to this Agreement with the Terminix Tent Defend System (the “Tent Defend System”); (b) Provide additional fumigation treatments at no additional charge to Customer, as deemed necessary by Terminix, to provide ongoing prevention, control and/or elimination of Drywood Termite colonies; and (c) Conduct a full inspection of the Structures annually or at any time upon the request of Customer for termite activity. THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT COVER AND TERMINIX
SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
TO REPAIR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY DRYWOOD TERMITES REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER SUCH DAMAGE OCCURS PRIOR TO OR SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE OF INITIAL TREATMENT WITH THE TENT DEFEND SYSTEM. All corrections of infestations or infections covered by this control services agreement shall be completed within 6 months of discovery, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties.
7. PROTECTION AGAINST DRYWOOD TERMITES. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT THE FOLLOWING WOOD-DESTROYING ORGANISMS COULD INFEST OR INFECT CUSTOMER’S STRUCTURES: (A) SUBTERRANEAN (IN-GROUND) TERMITES (RETICULITERMES SSP., HETEROTERMES SPP.) AND FORMOSAN TERMITES (COPTOTERMES SPP.); (B) DRYWOOD TERMITES (KALOTERMES SPP., INCISITERMES SPP., CRYPTOTERMES SPP.); (C) DAMPWOOD TERMITES (ZOOTERMOPSIS SPP., NEOTERMES SPP.); (D) CARPENTER ANTS AND CARPENTER BEES; (E) WOOD- BORING AND/OR POWDER-POST BEETLES; AND (F) WOOD-DECAY FUNGI. THE
TERMINIX TENT DEFEND SYSTEM ONLY CONTROLS FOR AND PROTECTS THE STRUCTURES FROM DRYWOOD TERMITES (KALOTERMES SPP., INCISITERMES SPP., CRYPTOTERMES SPP.) (COLLECTIVELY “DRYWOOD TERMITES”) INFESTATIONS.
THE TENT DEFEND SYSTEM DOES NOT CONTROL OR PROTECT THE STRUCTURES FROM SUBTERRANEAN (IN-GROUND) TERMITES (RETICULITERMES SSP., HETEROTERMES SPP.) AND FORMOSAN TERMITES ( COPTOTERMES SPP.)
INFESTATIONS OR OTHER WOOD DESTROYING ORGANISMS, INCLUDING BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, AS DAMPWOOD TERMITES, CARPENTER ANTS, POWDER-POST BEETLES OR WOOD DECAY FUNGI.
8. ACCESS TO PROPERTY. Customer must allow Terminix access to the Structures for any purpose contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to reinspections, whether the inspections were requested by the Customer or considered necessary by Terminix. The failure to allow Terminix such access will terminate this Agreement without further notice.
9. CUSTOMER COOPERATION. Customer’s cooperation is important to ensure the most effective results from Services. Whenever conditions conducive to the breeding and harborage of pests covered by this contract are reported in writing by Terminix to the Customer, and are not corrected by Customer, Terminix cannot ensure effective Services. If Customer fails to correct the conditions noted by Terminix within a reasonable time period, all guarantees as to the effectiveness of the Services in this Agreement shall automatically terminate. Further, additional treatments in areas of such conditions that are not corrected as required shall be paid for by Customer as an extra charge.
10. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; LIMITED WARRANTY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE
PROHIBITED BY LAW, TERMINIX DISCLAIMS AND SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR ANY LIABILITY FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE AND/OR LOSS OF ENJOYMENT DAMAGES. THE
OBLIGATIONS OF TERMINIX SPECIFICALLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE
GIVEN IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATION OR RESPONSIBILITY, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR THE REPAIR OF ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY DRYWOOD TERMITES. THIS AGREEMENT
DOES NOT GUARANTEE, AND TERMINIX DOES NOT REPRESENT, THAT TERMITES WILL NOT RETURN FOLLOWING ANY TREATMENTS.
11. WATER LEAKAGE. Water leakage in treated areas, in interior areas or through the roof or exterior walls of the Structures, may destroy the effectiveness of treatment by Terminix and is conducive to new infestation. Customer is responsible for making timely repairs as necessary to stop the leakage. Customer’s failure to make timely repairs will terminate this Agreement automatically without further notice. Terminix shall have no responsibility for repairs with respect to water leakage.
12. ADDITIONS OR ALTERATIONS TO STRUCTURES. This Agreement covers the Structures described on the Inspection Graph as of the date of initial treatment with the Tent Defend System. If the Structures are structurally modified, altered or otherwise changed (collectively “Alterations”), Customer must provide Terminix with written notice of such Alterations within ten (10) days of the occurrence of such Alteration. Customer’s failure to provide such notice will terminate this Agreement automatically without further notice. The failure of Terminix to discover such Alterations does not release Customer from the obligations to provide written notice to Terminix of the same. Customer shall pay Terminix’s then current charges for a service call to evaluate the Alterations and provide additional Tent Defend System treatment as a result of the Alterations. Terminix reserves the right to increase the Annual Renewal Term Fee as a result of the Alterations.
13. OWNERSHIP TRANSFER. Upon transfer of ownership of the Structures, Services may be continued upon request of the new owner and upon payment of the Ownership Transfer Fee set forth on page 1 of this Agreement. In addition, Terminix reserves the right to revise the Annual Renewal Term Fee upon transfer of ownership. In the event the new owner fails to request continuation of this Agreement or does not agree to pay the transfer fee of the revised Annual Renewal Term Fee, this Agreement will terminate automatically as of the date of the change of ownership.
14. FORCE MAJEURE. Terminix shall not be liable to Customer for any failure to perform or delay in the performance under this Agreement attributable in whole or in part to any cause beyond its reasonable control and without its fault or negligence, including but not limited to acts of God, fires, floods, earthquakes, strikes, unavailability of necessary utilities, blackouts, government actions, war, civil disturbance, insurrection or sabotage.
15. ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMERS. This Agreement does not cover and Terminix will not be responsible for damage resulting from or services required for: (a) termites and/ or any other wood-destroying organisms except as specifically provided herein; (b) moisture conditions, including but not limited to fungus damage and/or water leakage caused by faulty plumbing, roofs, gutters, downspouts and/or poor drainage; (c) masonry failure or grade alterations; (d) inherent structural problems, including but not limited to, wood to ground contacts; (e) termites entering any rigid foam, wooden or cellulose containing components in contact with the earth and the Structures regardless of whether the component is a part of the Structures; and (f) the failure of Customer to properly cure at Customer’s expense any condition that prevents proper treatment or inspection or is conducive to termite infestation.
16. CHANGE IN LAW. Terminix performs its services in accordance with the requirements of law. In the event of a change in existing law as it pertains to the services herein, Terminix reserves the right to revise the Annual Renewal Term Fee or terminate this Agreement.
17. NON-PAYMENT; DEFAULT. In case of non-payment or default by the Customer, Terminix has the right to terminate this Agreement. In addition, cost of collection including reasonable attorney’s fees shall be paid by the Customer, whether suit is filed or not. In addition, interest at the highest legal rate will be assessed for the period of delinquency.
18. CHANGE IN TERMS. At the time of any renewal of this Agreement, Terminix may change this Agreement by adding, deleting or modifying any provision. Terminix will notify the Customer in advance of any such change, and Customer may decline to accept such a change by declining to renew this Agreement. Renewal of this Agreement will constitute acceptance of any such changes.
19. SEVERABILITY. If any part of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
20. MANDATORY ARBITRATION. Any claim, dispute or controversy, regarding any contract, tort, statute, or otherwise (“Claim”), arising out of or relating to this agreement or the relationships among the parties hereto shall be resolved by one arbitrator through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), under the AAA Commercial or Consumer, as applicable, Rules in effect at the time the Claim is filed (“AAA Rules”). Copies of the AAA Rules and forms can be located at www.adr.org, or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding, and non-appealable. Judgment upon the award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. This clause is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Neither party shall sue the other party other than as provided herein or for enforcement of this clause or of the arbitrator’s award; any such suit may be brought only in Federal District Court for the District or, if any such court lacks jurisdiction, in any state court that has jurisdiction. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement including any claim that all or any part of the Agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence shall not apply to the clause entitled “Class Action Waiver.” Venue for arbitration hereunder shall lie in Memphis, TN.
21. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. Any Claim must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. The arbitrator shall not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD
A RIGHT TO LITIGATE THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE THEIR CASE AND TO BE PARTY TO A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
HOWEVER, THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND AND CHOOSE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY, THROUGH ARBITRATION.
22. GOVERNING LAW. Except for the Mandatory Arbitration Clause in Section 18 of this Agreement which is governed by and construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the dispute arises without regard to the conflict of laws provisions.

NOTIFICATIONS AND WARNINGS DESCRIPTIONS: POTENTIAL TILE ROOF DAMAGE Date of Fumigation:
Property Address:
Providing Exterminating Solutions Today Inc. expects to cause damage to your tile roof while performing fumigation services. We will use our utmost care when working on your tile roof but due to the sensitive and fragile nature of your roof we expect extensive damage to occur.
The amount of tile damage that occurs is dependent on the type, age, and condition of the roof. While we may be able to provide a rough estimate of the amount of damage that may occur, this estimate is based solely on past experience and the amount of damage that has occurred to comparable roofs; there is no method available to precisely estimate the number of tile that will break on each individual roof. Under no circumstance should any estimate given be misconstrued as a guarantee to the amount of damage that may occur. In addition, as specified in the terms, conditions, and liabilities, there is potential for damage to attached gutters, wiring, patio and awning covers, solar heating panels and related lighting, plumbing, antennas, and chimneys.
I have read, understand and acknowledge the tile breakage warning given above and accept the risk and responsibility that there will be tile broken during the fumigation process. I release Providing Exterminating Solutions Today Inc. and Terminix from any liability for tile or other types of roof damage that it may cause during the fumigation services, as well as other consequential property damage which may develop as a result of the fumigation services while exercising its utmost care to avoid damage to City property. This release does not extend to negligent, reckless, or willful conduct of P.E.S.T., its employees, sub-contractors, or other agents.

Dow AgroSciences LLC 9330 Zionsville Road Indianapolis, IN 46268-1054 Fact Sheet for Vikane® Gas Fumigant (Sulfuryl Fluoride) In the interest of Dow AgroSciences’ commitment to product stewardship, this fact sheet is intended to provide basic information about the product and how it is used. If you have specific questions about your fumigation, refer to documents provided by the fumigator or call the fumigator listed on the warning signs posted on your structure. If you have questions about Vikane® gas fumigant (the fumigant used) or the procedures described, call the Dow AgroSciences Customer Information Center at 1-800-352-6776.
WHY BUILDINGS ARE FUMIGATED
Insects that feed or tunnel into wood can seriously damage houses, apartments, and other dwellings or structures. Each year termites or other wood destroying insects damage more than 5 million homes. Other pests, such as bed bugs, may be dispersed throughout rooms and can be difficult to locate and control quickly and completely. Depending on the extent or location of the infestation, fumigation is the only total control method proven to eliminate certain infestations of wood destroying insects, bed bugs, and other structure-infesting pests.
HOW BUILDINGS ARE FUMIGATED
Because Vikane is a gas, prior to fumigation, the structure is completely sealed. This serves to contain Vikane in the building so it can penetrate wood and building contents to thoroughly eliminate the pests. Depending on the construction of the building, the doors and windows may be sealed with tape and a plastic sheet, or the structure may be covered with a tarp. The building will remain sealed for 2-72 hours depending on the specifics of the job. Warning signs are posted around the building notifying people to keep out.
After the fumigation period is completed, a professional fumigator will aerate the structure using fans for a prescribed aeration period. Once the dwelling has been thoroughly aerated, the fumigator is required to measure the level of any fumigant remaining in the living space to ensure it is below the EPA approved concentration for reentry by the occupants. Extremely low levels of fumigant can remain for a short period of time in dead air spaces between walls and inside cabinets as well as porous materials such as furniture. The small amount of fumigant in these areas will continue to dissipate for a few hours after the fumigation but at levels well below the established safe reentry concentration. Your building will not be cleared for reoccupancy until it is safe to enter. The fumigator will post a notice on your building indicating the day and time for reentry. Structures can be occupied only when the concentration is 1 part per million or less (this represents a margin of safety – laboratory animals have been exposed to 100 parts per million for 2 weeks with no adverse effects.) Because Vikane is a true gas and not a vapor, aeration is rapid. Recent studies demonstrated that in most structures levels are less than 1 part per million after the prescribed aeration period and have no detectable levels of Vikane within 24 hours after the start of aeration.
34 Sulfuryl fluoride is a colorless, odorless gas, so a warning agent is added to the building that causes watery eyes and a scratchy throat. If you experience these symptoms in a structure that has been recently fumigated, you should leave immediately and call the pest control company to have your building retested.
SULFURYL FLUORIDE (POTENTIAL HEALTH RISKS FROM OVEREXPOSURE) Sulfuryl fluoride is a gas and can potentially enter your body only through inhalation. Because it is a gas, it does not stay on dry surfaces; therefore, there is no exposure from touching treated surfaces.
Nervous system and respiratory irritation:
Overexposure to high levels of sulfuryl fluoride can result in nose and throat irritation and nausea. At high concentrations (such as those used during the fumigation) it can cause excess fluid in the lungs, sleepiness, pneumonia, and convulsions. These symptoms would be expected to appear within 8 hours after such an exposure. In the unlikely event you experience these symptoms in the building that has been recently fumigated, you should leave immediately.
Consult your physician and call the pest control company to have your building retested.
Additional studies:

Safety Precautions and Homeowner Preparation
Discuss the treatment program in advance with your pest control company so you fully understand what will be done and what you need to do.
Carefully follow the instructions you are given about what items you are to remove from your building.
Stay out of the treated building until it is cleared by your pest control company for reentry.
If you are interested or concerned, you should ask your pest control company to show the records of how your building was aerated before it was cleared for reentry. You may wish to increase ventilation by opening doors and windows.
If you have specific questions about your fumigation, refer to documents provided by the fumigator or call the fumigator listed on the warning signs posted on your structure.
