City of San Juan Capistrano
Josh Lopez
32400 Paseo Adelanto
San Juan Capistrano, CA 9267S
Dear Josh,
Golden Bell Products to provide all labor, material and supplies required to coat sanitary
sewer manholes with INSECTA, insecticidal latex coating for sewer roach control.
SCOPE OF WORK
Golden Bell Products to perform the following items:
+ Apply INSECTA, an approved product for sewer roach control application in sanitary
manholes.
• Treat to depth of eight (8) feet or less, with an approximate area of 100 square feet per
manhole.
• Will prepare and treat according to manufacturer's specifications for preparation
instructions.
• Apply coating based on the manufacturers recommended label rates, five (S) manholes
per gallon, not to exceed three (3) pints per manhole.
• Remove existing sewer manhole covers, sweep and clean the inside of the cover area,
spray Insecta, reseat the cover and mark the reinstalled cover with a painted white line
extending from the manhole cover to the adjoining pavement, indicating that the cover
has been reseated properly and firmly. Liability for damage caused by covers that have
been reinstalled and marked is limited to 24 hours. Covers that are damaged or will not
reseat properly will be immediately reported to the customer. Customer assumes all
liability for damages caused by covers that fa i l to properly reseat.
• Mark each manhole cover with an identifying white dot after being treated.
• Provide proper supervision at the job site during all phases of work.
• Be responsible for coordinating the work to be done. Work will take place in acce ssi bl e
alleys, parking lots, and streets.
• Guarantee the application for Two (2) full years from the date of treatment. If more than
SO living roaches are found in a manhole during the warranty period, the manhole must
then be retreated by Golden Bell Products at no additional charge or obligation to
Customer. Golden Bell Products will retreat any manhole which inspections with
photographs report live roaches within sixty (60) calendar days after notification;
providing more than SO live roaches are found inside the manhole during two inspections
occurring two days apart.*
• Will report number of manholes treated when submitting billing invoices. Golden Bell
Products will indicate in writing on each quarter section map, the number of manholes
treated, applicators name initials with the date of completion. This will serve as the
record of application for the necessary Agencies and warranty information.
• Customer will supply quarter section maps indicating exact locations of manholes and
cleanouts.
• Customer will make accessible all designated manholes to be coated. If not accessible
Golden Bell Products will notify Customer.
• Customer will provide inspection and assistance where necessary.
• No more than 90 calendar days will elapse between date of notice to proceed and
completion of the application. A reasonable time for potentially unfavorable weather will
be mutually agreed upon by Customer and Golden Bell Products
• Requirements may be added or deleted from the above Scope of Work, however these
must be agreed upon by both parties prior to the commencement of work.
• The cost of additional permits and/or licenses, other than those already required by the
state, required within city limits to perform work within that city will be assumed by the
Customer.
Golden Bell Products will supply all appropriate insurance coverage required by the state
licensing agencies to apply roach control product to sewer manholes; if any additional
insurance is required and available at additional costs those costs will be assumed by the
Customer.
Special Note: Some assistance with traffic control in heavily traveled areas may be required.
*NOTE: The Insecticidal-latex coating is not a repellent and therefore, will not repel
roaches. They must rest on it to eliminate them! Insecta is not a spot treatment product: for
warranty to be in effect and for the best results all manholes must be treated in the same
area of the sewer system!
Pricing per Manhole Application costs:
For less than 1000 Manholes is $20.50 ea.
For more than 1000 Manholes is $19.00 ea.
Pricing for 1000 manholes @$19.00 each is $19,000.00
(NO Sales tax as it is a service)
* There is a 150 manhole minimum for all jobs.
This proposal is good through December 31, 2016. Thank you for this opportunity. If you
have any questions please contact Michelle Webster at 714/630-3861.
Sincerely,
~~~~w~.

California.
Insecta is the only registered product of its type and active ingredient labeled for
use in sewer manholes. The product is a formulated product, which is produced in
an EPA approved establishment. The product comes ready to use and since it is a
