Summary & Background: This contract provides all labor, equipment, transportation, and material necessary to maintain an integrated pest management (IPM) program at 136 County facilities. Traditional pest control plans are largely reactive to pest infestations and base much of their response on the routine, scheduled application of pesticides. The IPM approach is designed to minimize pesticide usage and focuses on observation and prevention. The process is based on detailed surveillance (and periodic re-inspection) and the interpretation of data to estimate the nature of the pest population in each area. This monitoring allows accurate decisions to be made on when and where chemical intervention is needed. The contractor shall provide site-specific recommendations for structural and procedural modifications to achieve pest suppression.
Scope of Work: The Scope of Work also includes but is not limited to:
1. Provide a comprehensive pest control treatment plan and schedule of service for each facility.
2. The treatment of the exterior perimeter of every building for ants and other pests, (excluding wood destroying organisms) on a monthly minimum or as needed basis.
3. Rodent control around the exterior of every building utilizing bait stations and various flavors of bait. The bait stations will be weatherproof, secured, and numbered.
4. Rodent control for interiors shall consist of mechanical traps or glue boards.
5. Control of birds shall be provided as-needed.
6. Treatment of non-housing, non-food production areas, such as hallways, storage rooms, janitorial rooms, and loading dock, shall be by spot or crack and crevice, as appropriate, based on a schedule or actual need.
7. The treatment of all pipe chases shall contain an insect growth regulator.
8. All treatment in sleeping areas shall consist only of gel-type baits.
9. 2/24 response to emergencies - respond in 2 hrs., 24/7 to emergency needs.
Community Impact: IPM programs are integral to any commercial environmental health and safety plan. Pests carry diseases and germs that can spread to humans if not managed.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Real Estate and Asset Management recommends approval.
This is a time and materials contract, and the requested spending authority in the total amount of $300,000.00 will cover the costs for materials and labor hours to ensure the County facilities receive pest control services for FY2026.
Project Implications: The integrated pest control management program helps ensure all County facilities are free of pests and minimizes pesticide use in County facilities.
Community Issues/Concerns: None that the Department is aware.
Department Issues/Concerns: If this Cooperative Purchasing Contract is not approved, there will be a delay in providing comprehensive pest management services as DREAM does not have sufficient in-house staff to cover all applicable facilities.
Contract Modification: This is a new request.
