control disease carrying mosquitoes and spraying of adulticides to
address the spread of the West Nile virus and Zika virus through
mosquitoes on an as -needed basis. Environmental Manager and
Purchasing Staff reviewed the contract for specification compliance and

Tarrant County, Texas solicited proposals for ground based mosquito

Control International were awarded contracts. The City of Grapevine has
been using Municipal Mosquito and Vector Disease Control International
for several years with successful results. The contract was for an initial
one-year period with two optional, one-year renewals. If approved, this will
be the first available renewal.
Staff recommends approval.
