Definition/Acronym Description Arthropod The group of animals that includes insects, spiders, ticks, mites, silverfish, and related organisms.

Callback A request for additional service or retreatment following the initial service that has not provided the control required. Callbacks shall be provided at no additional cost to the Government.

Certified Applicator/ Operator

An individual who has completed an EPA approved training program that includes written examinations in core and specific application categories and is certified by the state, or host nation in which they are applying pesticides to do so without supervision.

Change of Occupancy Service (COS)

A service performed during the period of time after a resident checks out of assigned quarters and prior to a new resident taking occupancy ensuring the quarters are clean, fully equipped, operable and habitable.

Contractor's Work Plan (CWP) for Pest Control

The Contractor shall submit as part of their proposal and execute a CWP for pest control. The CWP shall adhere to applicable publications and directives contained in J-1503020-03 (Applicable Publications and Directives). The CWP will require approval by the Contracting Officer. The CWP shall establish the strategy and methods for conducting a safe, effective, and environmentally sound pest management program in compliance with these specifications. Prospective contractors may review the installation’s historical records of pest activity and abatement actions, survey facilities and grounds, and consult with the Installation PMC in development of a plan. The CWP shall address continuous monitoring, pest response and removal procedures, record keeping, warranties, education and communication to installation personnel to prevent pests and disease vectors, bird control on applicable airfields and in hangars, etc. The IPM approach should use targeted (i.e., effective, environmentally sound) methods including habitat/facility modification, biological/genetic/cultural control, mechanical/physical control, and where necessary, the judicious use of least hazardous pesticides. The CWP shall include labels, MSDS sheets, planned pesticide use sheets and comply with all applicable Local, State, and Federal regulations, and the Installation PMP.

As technology improves and new materials and methods become available, it may become necessary to alter the specifications of this contract to accommodate such changes which would reduce reliance on chemicals, or utilize safer materials. The Contractor shall recommend specification changes to the Contracting Officer whenever: (1) newer, safer, and more effective methods become available and (2) less toxic and less persistent pesticides become available.

Pest Group 008: Adult Mosquito Surveillance

Equipment Provider: The Contractor shall provide the mosquito trap(s) and all other equipment (as needed) to complete mosquito survey(s) as directed by the KO or COR. All cost for procurement of equipment (including traps, batteries, extension cords, light bulbs, collection bags, etc.) shall be included in the bid price for this service and does not constitute grounds for any added charge under any other part of this contract.

Trap Design: Type of trap will be determined by the target mosquito species. The installation Preventive Medicine Department can provide information on local nuisance and vector mosquitoes. New Jersey light traps (or equal), CDC light traps (or equal), gravid traps, BG sentinel, or other commercially purchased light trap designs deemed acceptable to the Armed Forces Pest Management Board (AFPMB), shall be used. The Government may or may not provide electricity at the site where the KO designates that the light traps shall be placed. If no electricity is available, battery operated units shall be used. Battery operated units may be used even if electricity is provided. The government shall not supply batteries. Use the same trap design at the same location throughout the course of this contract.

Trap Placement: Traps shall be placed so as to effectively collect and measure the target mosquito population.

The Government may determine trap locations.

Trapping Frequency: Traps shall be set twice each week (weather permitting). If weather is inappropriate for trapping (heavy rain or consistent winds above 15 MPH), perform trapping on the night following the scheduled night (or the next appropriate night). Conduct adult mosquito trapping in accordance with the weekly schedule.

Survey Data: At a minimum, the Contractor shall count the total number of mosquitoes in the trap and record the number on the Adult Mosquito Catch Form.

Disposition of Mosquitoes: Consult with the installation Preventive Medicine Department to determine if mosquito collections should be saved for identification and testing. If the mosquitoes are to be retained, then the following method should be used. Immobilize and kill mosquitoes and other arthropods by placing in the trap container in a freezer or using another suitable method that does not destroy the specimens (e.g. do not immerse in alcohol). (Mosquitoes collected for testing (e.g. West Nile Virus) may require specific handling; consult with the Preventive Medicine Department.) Place trap contents in a paper or cardboard container and label with time, date, location collector’s name and contact information. Deliver to personnel designated by the KO to receive the mosquito trap collection. If mosquitoes do not need to be kept, then they should be disposed.

Reporting Adult Mosquito Collections: The Contractor shall complete the number of samples designated by the Government and record (in legible handwriting) the results of the survey for each location sampled. The Contractor shall note the date and time of collection, the number of mosquitoes collected per sample site, type of breeding source, notes regarding the sampled mosquitoes, and sum or average the totals. The COR may provide a collection form (Adult Mosquito Catch Form) on which the survey results are recorded. Records shall be reported on the collection form and submitted weekly during surveillance to the COR and the installation Preventive Medicine Department.

The action threshold for adult mosquito control shall be:

Vector species of concern Adult Trap Surveillance Aedes aegypti ≥5 males or females per CDC or BG Sentinel trap per night Aedes albopictus ≥5 males or females per CDC or BG Sentinel trap per night Aedes vexans ≥5 males or females per CDC or BG Sentinel trap per night Ochlerotatus sollicitans ≥100 females per CDC or Gravid trap per night Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus ≥100 females per CDC or Gravid trap per night Anopholes crucians ≥50 females per CDC or Gravid trap per night Culex nigripalpus ≥50 females per CDC or Gravid trap per night Culex quinquefasciatus ≥50 females per CDC or Gravid trap per night

NOTE: Action thresholds may be changed on advise of a BUMED entomologist Vector species of concern Primary diseases of concern Culiseta melanura Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), West Nile Virus (WNV) Culex pipiens complex EEE, St. Louis encephalitis, WNV Culex nigripalpus EEE, St. Louis encephalitis, WNVadult mosquitoes per trap>>

The base Preventive Medicine Technicians shall be consulted before any control takes place.

Pest Group 013: Larval Mosquito Surveillance

Equipment: The Contractor shall provide all equipment (as needed), to complete the assigned task(s) including, but not limited to, ladders, asepto syringes, boots, dippers, notebooks, etc. (as applicable). The Contractor shall sample for immature mosquitoes on the schedule designated by the KO or COR.

Survey Designated Mosquito Breeding Sites (Areas designated by the ACO or Contract Specifications): Areas shall be designated by the KO or COR for non-recurring work, and by maps for recurring work. In the designated area(s), there may be differing aquatic environments to sample from including but not limited to, wetlands, standing pools of water, tree holes, artificial containers, clogged rain gutters, land depressions with temporary pools, floodwater plains, standing ponds, underground or aboveground storm water catch basins, swamps, drainage ditches, tire dumps, recycling areas, or any area where mosquitoes can breed. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to survey all potential mosquito breeding sites within the designated area(s).

Previous Experience: Larval mosquito surveys are very technique sensitive. Only Contractor personnel, with significant previous experience sampling for immature mosquitoes, shall perform larval surveys.

Survey Techniques:

In larger bodies of water such as ponds, lakes, catch water basins, etc., perform surveys around the water perimeter using a standard larval mosquito dipper (style and type approved by the Installation Preventive Medicine Department and the COR). Complete a sufficient number of dips to develop an accurate average dip count for the body of water (e.g. 10 dips/sampling station). Different species of mosquito larvae must be surveyed using different dipping techniques. It may be necessary to proceed carefully, or to act swiftly depending on the species being sampled, as water disturbance or casting shadows could result in the larvae diving to the bottom. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to know the proper sampling technique(s) for the mosquito species present.

In smaller water bodies such as rain gutters, artificial containers, tree holes etc., samples shall be taken using an appropriate collection device.

Reporting Larval Mosquito Collections: The Contractor shall record (in legible handwriting) the results of the survey for each location sampled. The Contractor shall complete the number of samples designated by the KO for each location. The Contractor shall note the date and time of collection, the number of immature mosquitoes collected per sample site, type of breeding source, notes regarding the sampled mosquitoes, and sum or average the totals. The KO may provide a collection form on which the survey results are recorded. Records shall be reported on the collection form and submitted every two weeks during surveillance to the KO and the installation Preventive Medicine Department.

Captured animals shall be scrutinized for sickness. If sickness is suspected, or animals are defined as nuisance species, they shall be humanely euthanized. Coordinate with Base Medical Department for carcass disposition (disposal or transport as applicable). If animals appear healthy, transport/release if possible, or dispose of at the discretion of the KO. Relocation and release of captured animals must be done in accordance with all Federal, State, and local regulations. Animals defined as nuisance animals should be humanely euthanized rather than relocated and released.

11. Consult with Natural Resources before considering lethal control of vertebrates. If permitted, firearms use shall always be coordinated with Base Security.

Attachment J-1503020-13 Termite Control Specifications

Unscheduled Structural Pest Control Services. The Contractor shall provide structural pest control services on an unscheduled (indefinite quantity) basis as specified below. Services shall be completed within five working days after receipt of the task order. At the time of any soil treatment application, the soil shall be in a condition with low moisture to allow uniform distribution of the treatment solution throughout the soil. The Contractor shall not apply pesticide during or immediately following heavy rains, or when conditions will cause runoff and create an environmental hazard. No pesticides shall be applied to the soil beneath a plenum air space. Pesticides shall not be applied until the approximate location of water and sewer lines are known.

(1) Subterranean Termite Control. All termite infestations in the structure shall be controlled within 30 days of treatment. Toxicants shall be delivered to the project site in sealed and labeled containers as supplied by the manufacturer or formulator. Labels shall bear the manufacturer's warnings to be observed in handling and use of material, and bear evidence or registration under the FIFRA.

a) MATERIALS. "The termiticide used for control of subterranean termites shall be a soil applied nonrepellent termiticide (such as fipronil, imidacloprid or chlorfenapyr). If needed, remedial treatments can be applied to wooden structural members using a borate product containing the active ingredient disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (i.e. Tim-BorTM, Bora-CareTM ). The termiticide product shall be applied at the highest labeled rates and concentrations."

1. Delivery and Storage. Termiticide shall be delivered to the project site in sealed and labeled containers as supplied by the manufacturer or formulator. Labels shall bear manufacturer's warnings to be observed in handling and use of the material. Labels shall bear evidence of registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) as amended by the Federal Environmental Pesticide Control Act (FEPCA) of 1972.

2. Samples. The Contractor shall submit on request, or the Contracting Officer may draw at any time, without prior notice, from stocks at the site of the work, samples of insecticide concentrates and diluted insecticide solutions or emulsions being used or presumed to be for use in this work. Should analysis indicate such samples to contain less than the amount of active ingredient claimed on the label or specified herein, then all work done with such insecticides shall be repeated using insecticides conforming to this specification without additional cost to the Government.

b) APPLICATION SHALL BE MADE IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER:

1. Interior Areas to be Treated. Expansion or construction joints located under and adjacent to interior and exterior walls shall be treated by drilling holes through the floor slab and injecting the proper insecticide. Drill holes should be spaced in a manner that will allow for application of a continuous chemical treatment zone (i.e. holes approximately 3/8 inch in diameter and no more than 12 inches apart, on center, not more than 6 inches from the wall being treated). Termiticide shall be applied into these holes under pressure at a rate as specified on the insecticide label. Plumbing chases shall also be treated.

2. Exterior Areas to be Treated. Soil adjacent to the outside of wall shall be treated. The treatment shall extend from the top of the footing to the top of the soil to form a vertical insecticide barrier along the building at the rate of not less than four gallons per ten linear feet per foot of depth. Backfill shall be tamped and sufficient in quantity to provide a surface sloping away from the structure. Voids in concrete block walls, and between brick veneer and foundation walls shall be treated by drilling and injecting insecticide as specified on the label.

3. Label Requirements. Rates and methods of application shall be in strict accordance with the printed instructions on the manufacturer's insecticide label with the insecticide applied at the highest labeled rate and concentration. Conflicts between this specification and label directions shall be resolved in favor of the label and discussion with the COR. Prior to performing the work, the termiticide label, labeling and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) must be submitted to the KO and COR for acceptance.

c) DRILL HOLES

1. Drill holes in masonry walls shall be plugged neatly and solid using 1:2 sand cement mortar.

2. Drill holes in floor slabs shall be plugged neatly and solid using an approved non-shrink grout.

3. Drill holes in expansion joints shall be sealed with an approved mastic cement. Excess mastic shall be removed and left neat.

d) EXISTING UTILITIES. The Contractor shall determine in advance of commencing work the locations of water lines, drain lines, fuel oil lines and heating ducts, and shall avoid damage to these lines and ducts during drilling and rodding operations. Any damage caused by the Contractor's operations, if not conducted according to the information obtained from the Contracting Officer, shall be immediately repaired at the Contractor's expense.

e) SITE PROTECTION AND BACKFILL TREATMENT. All shrubbery shall be protected from damage during all operations under this contract. Any such damage incurred shall be immediately corrected at no cost to the Government. Where grass is removed from trenching or excavated material, after backfilling, the sod shall be replaced and thoroughly dampened with the approved termiticide solution if allowed by the insecticide label.

f) CERTIFICATION OF WORK. Upon final completion of the soil treatment, and as a condition for final acceptance, the Contractor shall furnish a written certificate stating:

1. Insecticide used had required concentration, brand name, and manufacturer thereof.

2. Rate and method of application complied in every respect with the standards contained herein.

g) WARRANTY. The Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer with a written warranty, in acceptable form, for each building or building unit treated for subterranean termites. The warranty shall be prepaid (to be included in the total price of the treatment) good for a period of no less than five years, guaranteeing retreatment of any subsequent infestation and further that any structural damage due to an infestation after the initial treatment shall be repaired at no additional cost. A detailed written structural assessment shall be made by the Contractor with concurrence by the Contracting Officer prior to initial treatment for reference at a later date, should there be any questions of subsequent damage. The limit of the Contractor's liability for repairs is $25,000 per building.

(2) Drywood Termite Control. Provide drywood termite control as described below. The presence of an inspector trained in fumigation is essential while fumigant concentration readings are taken to determine that all drywood termites are killed during fumigation. Adherence to proper procedures must be assured while the work is being accomplished.

a) Safety Measures. The Contractor shall ensure proper techniques and procedures are followed.

Precautions shall be taken to prevent injury to any person and damage to property as a result of work accomplished under this section. These precautions shall include, but are not limited to, the following:
