DATE: May 5, 2020
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to utilize a contract through the City of Arlington, for the
Airfield Vegetation Management Program at Denton Enterprise Airport, as awarded by the City of
Arlington IFB #20-0032; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date
(File 7333 – awarded to Nexus Solutions USA, Inc. in the not-to-exceed amount of $130,000).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The City of Denton has utilized the services of Nexus Solutions USA, Inc. since March 28, 2019. Denton
Enterprise Airport selected the vendor through a competitive bid process. The vendor was chosen based on
price and the Vegetation Management Plan offered. The Airfield Vegetation Management Program helps
reduce the hazardous wildlife populations, reduces mowing cycles performed on airfield property, and
promotes flight safety through advanced herbicide prescriptions applied at the appropriate time.
The Airfield Vegetation Management Program services for the Denton Enterprise Airport will include one
(1) standard spray application of recommended chemicals to 150 acres, three (3) times a year for the first
year and 250 acres for the remaining contract term. The additional 100 acres are currently being treated
through grazing and hay bailing services that will not be utilized next fiscal year.
On March 1, 2020, the City of Arlington awarded a contract to Nexus Solutions USA, Inc., through a
competitive Invitation For Bid process, and is effective through February 28, 2023. Nexus Solutions' pricing
of $65/acre application under this competitive bid is the same from when the City of Denton originally
procured the services in 2019. Staff recommends utilizing Arlington’s contract for the purchase of this
service. Therefore, the staff is recommending approval of a contract coinciding with the expiration date of
February 28, 2023, with the City of Arlington.
Pricing obtained through the City of Arlington has been competitively bid and meets the statutory
requirements of Texas Local Government Code 271.102.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
On June 19, 2013, Council approved the interlocal agreement with the City of Arlington (Ordinance 2013-
