After Hours Pest Control Services

Trinity Metro, the regional transportation authority for the Fort Worth area in Tarrant County, Texas, is seeking an Invitation for Bid (IFB 25-T057) for After Hours Pest Control Services targeting transit vehicles, including buses and paratransit vans. The procurement solicits a comprehensive pest management solution to be performed overnight between 10:00 PM and 4:00 AM, with the primary objective of preventing and eliminating infestations of cockroaches, bed bugs, ants, rodents, fleas, and flies. The successful contractor must be a licensed pest control technician with specific experience in public transportation environments and must utilize Integrated Pest Management principles. Key deliverables include twice-monthly initial treatments transitioning to monthly maintenance, EPA-approved pesticide applications, non-chemical treatment methods, thorough vehicle inspections, sanitation recommendations, and comprehensive documentation. The IFB was released on September 19, 2025, with bid submissions due by October 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, and will result in a two-year firm fixed-price agreement with monthly invoicing and net 30-day payment terms.

While no specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions were explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the contractor must demonstrate compliance with federal, state, and local regulations and adhere to Trinity Metro's safety, security, and emergency guidelines. The agency's funding sources include a dedicated half-percent sales tax, Federal Transit Administration capital grants, and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality grants, which may influence contractor eligibility. Although no incumbent vendor was identified, the contract requires sophisticated integration with existing transit vehicle infrastructure and operational protocols. The documentation does not specify a precise contract value or budget range, but the comprehensive nature of the pest control services suggests a substantial investment in maintaining a clean, safe passenger environment. Prospective bidders will need to demonstrate technical expertise, regulatory compliance, and a robust approach to pest management in a high-traffic public transportation setting.
