This document is a Solicitation Amendment 1 issued by the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services for the Life Skills and Transition Center in Grafton, ND, seeking pest control services. The solicitation (Bid Number 325-25-990-008) is for comprehensive pest management covering 17 of 23 campus buildings, with services including monthly treatments and emergency services. The bid response deadline is March 18, 2025, at 12pm CT, and the current contract is held by Ecolab. The scope includes exterior fall insect treatments, weekly services, and management of potential pest issues across campus buildings and tunnels.
