Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the County of Monterey Board of Supervisors approve and authorize the Contracts/Purchasing Officer or the Contracts/Purchasing Supervisor to execute Amendment No. 2 with Joseph A. Ladouceur, dba Rainbow Services, for odor removal services in Health Department Buildings, extending the term by three years for a revised term of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2026, and increasing the not to exceed maximum by $114,000 to a total of $260,000.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Monterey County Health Department (MCHD) has been using the odor removal services provided by Joseph Ladouceur for many years. The technology used consists of odor-neutralizing molecules found in plant-based oils. The fragrance-free, organic, non-toxic compound is placed on a disc and inserted into a small fan that blows the oil throughout the room. The desire is to minimize the difficulties experienced in the workplace by both employees and clients subject to chemical/fragrance sensitivities. Odor eliminating units are placed in restrooms, diaper changing areas, public lobbies, and other odor sensitive locations within the MCHD locations throughout the County.
While this work is not directly in support of a Health Department strategic initiative, it is in support of one or more of the ten essential public health services, specifically: 6. Enforce laws and regulations that protect health and ensure safety.
