Bed Bug Detection Services GBHA

The City of Green Bay Housing Authority (GBHA) is seeking qualified vendors to provide quarterly bed bug detection services for Mason Manor, a residential facility located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Request for Bid (RFB) #2023-15 requires certified, licensed technicians and NESDCA-certified canine specialists to conduct comprehensive bed bug inspections across eight floors containing 127 residential units and common areas. Inspections are scheduled for June, September, December, and March, with a primary focus on detection services only, with treatment to be handled separately. Bidders must demonstrate responsibility through proof of financial capability, relevant experience, and three references from comparable-sized institutions served within the past five years. Key submission deadlines include a pre-bid site inspection on April 13, 2023, at 11:00 a.m., questions due by April 20, 2023, potential addenda posted on April 21, 2023, and final bids due on April 27, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. CST.

The contract will be awarded for a three-year term from June 1, 2023, through May 31, 2026, with potential two one-year renewal periods contingent on mutual agreement. Vendors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability, Business Automobile Liability, and Professional Liability, along with statutory Workers' Compensation. The procurement is subject to HUD requirements and various Wisconsin statutes, including provisions for prevailing wage rates and Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968. Bidders are required to submit pricing as a lump sum cost per floor per quarter, with the annual cost calculated by multiplying the quarterly rate by four. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the contract compliance requirements suggest a commitment to fair and competitive bidding practices. The City reserves the right to cancel the agreement with 30 days' notice, providing flexibility in contract management.
