• 1. Purpose:
• To seek Board of Directors approval to fund the design and installation of the Vector Control System for the guideway including all

stations.

• Provide a safe working environment; protect HART’s facilities, and HART’s Safety Hazard Analysis resulting in dense accumulation of

Guano, exposing workers to a potential health hazard.

• 2. Background/Justification
• In May 2011, recommendations were made to control bird/ rodent access to the guideway inner cavities and at stations to prevent

birds from perching over areas frequently used by passengers. However, no budget was set aside.

• In January 2019, HART’s Safety performed a Hazard Analysis for birds entering and roosting in the guideway cavity resulting in dense

accumulation of Guano, exposing worker to a potential health hazard.

• An Executive Decision Document was written and approved in March 2019, requesting approval to the vector measures on HRTP.
• 3. Board Authority

HART Board is required to approve all new contracts over $1M. The total value of the proposed new CPP is $1,390,500.00.
