Revised Statement of Work Item 2.3 All Contractor personnel shall understand IPM principles and practices and can implement them. The Contractor shall be Quality Pro Certified and Green Pro Certified and have the background and experience to identify pests and knowledgeable about pest life cycles, habits and the conditions that affect pest populations.

Question regarding SOW, Subsection 2.3: Pest Control companies are permitted to perform pest control services including IPM Services without this certification as long as they are licensed within the State where service is rendered. Request that this requirement be considered to be removed from this solicitation in the best interest of the government and all pest control contractors.

Answer: After confirming that it is not a state requirement for AZ, we do not need to require it for this effort.

Answer: Pricing not available.

Question: For the scheduled site visit, do contractors need to RSVP/Is it mandatory?

Answer: RSVP is not needed nor is the site visit mandatory.
