Conservation/Parks/Bluesprings Pest Control-FY25

The state of Alabama, specifically Barbour County, is soliciting pest control services for Blue Springs State Park located in Clio, Alabama. The procurement opportunity covers comprehensive pest management for seven structures totaling approximately 4,749 square feet, including an office, snack shack, three cabins, middle bathhouse, and campground bathhouse. The contract period runs from March 2025 through September 30, 2025, with monthly service requirements targeting ants, roaches, spiders, rats, mice, and other occasional pests. Vendor qualifications include being a licensed pesticide applicator with the ability to respond to pest problems within 4 hours of notification, which is critical given the park's 24/7 public accessibility and overnight guest accommodations. The solicitation (ID: 67c068c59071d20fc90caff6) was posted on February 26, 2025, with proposals due by March 4, 2025. A site visit is suggested, and interested vendors should contact Toshi Rodgers at (334) 313-7595 for additional information and to schedule an optional site inspection.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were identified in the procurement documents. The contract appears to be open to all qualified pest control service providers who can meet the specified requirements. Vendors must be registered in Alabama Buys, the state's electronic procurement system, and submit responses electronically through the Public Solicitation site. Additional requirements include enrollment in the E-Verify program for vendors with Alabama employees and potential registration as a foreign corporation with the Secretary of State's office. While no specific budget range was provided, the scope suggests a relatively modest contract covering monthly services for a state park with limited facilities. The procurement follows the state's standard Quick Quote process, which includes provisions for electronic payment, potential cost realism analysis, and compliance with state procurement regulations as outlined in the attached standard boilerplate document.
