2-Attachment 4 - Certification Regarding Lobbying.pdf

This is a Certification Regarding Lobbying document related to pest control services solicitation issued by the Arizona Department of Economic Security (ADES). The certification document establishes compliance requirements for vendors submitting proposals for statewide pest control services across eligible ADES facilities throughout Arizona. The solicitation was posted on March 19, 2025, with a proposal submission deadline of April 9, 2025, allowing interested contractors approximately three weeks to prepare and submit responses. The contract will establish a comprehensive pest management solution covering multiple ADES facilities statewide, with vendors required to demonstrate expertise in commercial pest control applicable to Arizona's diverse environments and institutional settings.

The certification document addresses lobbying compliance and disclosure requirements that bidders must acknowledge and certify as part of their proposal submission. Vendors are required to certify their compliance with federal lobbying restrictions and disclosure obligations, which is a standard requirement for government contracts. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the certification document itself, comparable state contracts for comprehensive facility pest control services typically range from $50,000 to $250,000 annually depending on facility scope. Qualified vendors must provide proof of current pest control licensing, comprehensive insurance coverage, Arizona state regulatory compliance, and documented experience with institutional or government facility pest management. The contract appears open to qualified commercial pest control providers without explicitly designated set-aside provisions, though all submissions must include the required lobbying certification to be considered responsive.
