1.2 Short Description of Required Services

The BLM places a high priority on preserving the health and safety of all employees, partners, volunteers, and the visiting public and therefore requires ongoing monitoring and control of pests throughout these areas. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is one of the governing authorities driving the need for a pest control program. Specifically, the Code of Federal Regulations, 29 CFR 1910 Subpart J, Section 1910.141(a)(5), requires effective vermin control around every enclosed workplace. Also, the Department of the Interior (DOI) Departmental Manual 517 DM 1, Chapter 1 establishes the requirement for an integrated pest management policy for all DOI properties.

This contract is to obtain the services of a pest control contractor licensed and permitted in the State of Nevada for the control and removal of animals typically deemed a public health and safety hazard in and around public facilities (“pests”). These include, but are not limited to, insects, rodents, spiders, snakes, and scorpions. Pest control shall be performed in accordance with the Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 555 - CONTROL OF INSECTS, PESTS, AND NOXIOUS WEEDS. As a minimum, the Contractor shall comply with NAC 555.250 - NAC 555.530 in the application of pesticides. Also, the Contractor shall employ certified applicators in accordance with NAC 555.600 - NAC 555.700.
