Line Item 7 Pricing Instructions.docx

This document is pricing guidance for the Pest Control D6009 contract for the State of Illinois, specifically for services at 1 Longhorne Bond Drive, Springfield, Illinois. Line item 7 functions as a placeholder mechanism within the contract structure to allow vendors to bill the State for materials used in conjunction with Special Requests and Emergency Requests. This line item is explicitly excluded from the evaluation process, meaning it will not factor into the bid scoring or vendor selection decision.

Bidders responding to this contract opportunity must enter a unit cost of $2,500 for Line item 7, regardless of anticipated material costs or usage patterns. This standardized pricing approach ensures consistent bidding across all submissions and establishes a predetermined billing mechanism for contingency materials rather than requiring itemized or variable pricing for emergency-related expenses.
