RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY,
CALIFORNIA, WAIVING THE FORMAL BID PROCESS PURSUANT TO
NATIONAL CITY MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2.60.110 (B) AND AUTHORIZING
THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF
NATIONAL CITY AND FIRE PREVENTION SERVICES, INC. FOR WEED AND
LITTER ABATEMENT SERVICES.
WHEREAS, National City Municipal Code Section 9.12.020 declares weeds
growing or located upon streets, sidewalks, or private property to be a public nuisance;
and
WHEREAS, the City's Buyer conducted extensive research seeking to discover
companies that provide weed and litter abatement services; and
WHEREAS, most cities in San Diego County were unsuccessful in finding an
adequately qualified company other than Fire Prevention Services, Inc.; and
WHEREAS, in lieu of publishing a Request for Proposals, the City's Buyer
determined that the chances of finding a qualified and responsive bidder would be
unlikely; and
WHEREAS, since 2014, the City has contracted with Fire Prevention Services,
Inc., which was the sole bidder when the last RFP was issued; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to NCMC Section 2.60.110 (B), the City's Buyer determined
that competitive bidding would be impractical since there are limited-service providers in
San Diego County; and
WHEREAS, under these circumstances, no obvious, ascertainable advantage to
the City would result from issuing a new RFP; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends, contracting with Fire Prevention Services, Inc., to
provide weed and litter abatement services to the City for the next three (3) years, from
May 19, 2025 through May 18, 2028 with three one-year extensions.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY,
CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1: That the City Council hereby authorizes the City to waive the formal
bid process pursuant to NCMC Section 2.60.110 (B) and authorizes the Mayor to

the Agenda Report as Exhibit A, to provide weed and litter abatement services from May
19, 2025 through May 18, 2028 with three one-year extensions.
Section 2: That the City Clerk shall certify the passage and adoption of this
Resolution and enter it into the book of original Resolutions.
