This is a pricing exhibit (Exhibit C) for a Japanese Beetle Treatment contract opportunity in Washington State, specifically for application services in King County and the surrounding Yakima and Benton counties areas. The contract seeks licensed pesticide applicator firms to treat Japanese Beetle infested areas, with small or veteran-owned firms encouraged to respond. The pricing structure requires bidders to provide two separate cost proposals: a complete, loaded price per acre for turfgrass treatment and a price per gallon for foliar treatment. All-inclusive pricing must incorporate labor, fuel, transportation, preparation, supervision, personal protective equipment, and any other costs associated with treating an acre of turfgrass or applying a gallon of foliar treatment, with sales tax excluded from the quoted prices.

The pricing evaluation follows a tiered point system with a maximum of 100 points allocated based on competitive pricing analysis. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder receives 100 points, the second lowest receives 90 points, the third lowest receives 80 points, and each subsequent bidder receives 10 fewer points. This pricing component carries significant weight in the overall bid evaluation and award process for the 2026 contract term.
