About this file
This is a Site Visit Q&A document dated 02 March 2026 for a rodent pest control contract at building 1030C. The document addresses clarifications raised during a site visit regarding scope of work, operational procedures, and facility conditions.
The contract requires contractors to seal all entry points (both human and vehicle access) into the building and perform cleaning and sanitation of interior materials. Monthly services consist strictly of inspections for entry points and sealing of newly discovered entry points; this contract is separate from and independent of the base pest control contract that covers trap setting and rodent removal. Sticky traps are prohibited in outside areas and discouraged inside, with snap traps required for rat control. Contractors must seal any openings or voids on floors and tiles but are not required to lift floor tiles or remove flooring; gravel sits beneath the tiles. Contractors must seal entry points on the surrounding decomposed granite (DG) asphalt pad connected to the building. Contractors cannot discard contaminated items without first contacting the Mission Partner. Government personnel will handle moving inventory items via forklift and will fix rubber seals on roller doors. No special company insurance is required. Cabinet contents are documented with pictures on SAM.gov, and no food is stored in the building. The facility does not have regular scheduled pest control services under the current base contract; services are on an as-needed basis only.

Rodent Pest Control
1. Can floor tiles be lifted?
a. No, tiles will not be lifted
2. Are we allowed to setup glue boards?/ Are stop traps allowed inside or outside the building?
a. The use of sticky traps are not permitted in outside areas. Inside usage is discouraged and should be limited as much as feasible. Sticky traps are not a selective control method and inadvertent captures of non-target species is high, while death is slow. Additionally, the stress can cause urination increasing the chance of disease transfer. If used, traps should be checked daily. (Not feasible in current prospective contract). If non-target species are trapped multiple times in the same location discontinue use of sticky traps in that area immediately and seek other alternatives. For control of Rats, the snap trap is used. Glue boards are not effective.
