Conservation/Parks/Blue Springs -Pest Control FY27

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is soliciting pest control services for Blue Springs State Park in Clio, Barbour County, under an all-or-none contract structure, with proposals due October 2, 2026, and a mandatory site visit on September 29, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. central time at the park's front office.

The scope covers quarterly pest control services across eleven structures totaling approximately 12,390 square feet — the park office, bathhouses, comfort station, maintenance shop, pool house, and five pavilions — targeting rats, mice, roaches, ants (excluding carpenter ants), silverfish, spiders, and fleas. Work includes exterior rodent station placement with monthly monitoring, interior and exterior quarterly treatments, and call-back services within eight hours of notification at no charge. The vendor must be licensed and insured with a $200,000 aggregate and $100,000 per-occurrence insurance requirement. Service does not include treatment for infestations, and no bait boxes, sticky traps, or fly traps may be placed inside buildings.

The initial contract term runs October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. DCNR intends to establish a multi-year agreement with a cumulative maximum value of $25,000 not to exceed five years total, with annual renewal contingent on written agreement of both parties and pricing consistency across the entire term. Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analyses. Price escalation during contract performance is limited to increases not exceeding 5 percent of annual contract costs, supported by documentation from manufacturers or raw materials suppliers. All contract terms are governed by Alabama law with venue in Montgomery. Elizabeth Nowak (334-425-1397) is the point of contact for the site visit.
