RE: Approve Amendment to Contractor Agreement with Bezio Animal Control (Bezio) for
Nuisance Animal Trapping for Storm Water Utility (+$21,000)
BACKGROUND
Bezio was awarded an agreement to manage nuisance animals within the City-owned storm water
management detention basins in August 2020. Management of nuisance animals is paramount to
ensuring the continued proper operations of the basins. Nuisance animals, such as muskrats, cause
damage to the side slopes of the detention basins and drainage way and destroy the emergent vegetation
planted within the basins. Maintaining the emergent vegetation is vital in protecting the shoreline from
erosion, as well as removing pollutants from storm water runoff.
ANALYSIS
The original agreement was scheduled to end in December 2022. The original agreement contained the
option to renew the agreement for two (2) – additional one (1) year terms. The City has requested an
amendment to this agreement to continue these services through the end of calendar year 2023. Due to
the fact that there are changes to some of the fees charged, an amendment to the original agreement is
required, instead of a letter of acceptance between the two (2) parties.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the 2023 Storm Water Utility Operating Budget (Account #05612050-6401/
Engineering & Planning-PS – Engineer/Survey/Appraisal).
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend approval of the amendment to the Contractor Agreement with Bezio Animal Control for
nuisance animal trapping services for calendar year 2023.
Approved,
Mark A. Rohloff
City Manager
