Conservation/Parks/Chewacla - Pest and Termite

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is soliciting pest control and termite services for Chewacla State Park under an all-or-none contract with proposals due October 23, 2026 and a mandatory site visit on October 21, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. The cumulative contract value shall not exceed $25,000 over a term not to exceed five years, with annual renewal options.

The scope encompasses monthly pest control service for six cabins, two staff houses, a ranger's house, lodge, bathhouse, entrance building, storage facilities, and subordinate structures at 124 Shell Toomer Parkway, Auburn, Alabama. Services must address rats, mice, scorpions, roaches, ants (excluding carpenter ants), silverfish, spiders, and fleas using environmentally friendly products. The contract requires an annual termite bond covering all structures. Rodent stations are placed on building exteriors and monitored monthly; bait boxes, sticky traps, and fly traps are prohibited inside buildings. Call-back services within eight hours of notification must be provided at no additional charge, as the park operates 24 hours daily with overnight guests. The vendor must maintain a $200,000 aggregate and $100,000 per occurrence liability insurance and hold valid pest control licensure. The initial contract period runs November 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with DCNR intending to establish a multi-year agreement.

Bidders must submit all three quotable line items: monthly pest control service, additional pest services as needed, and the annual termite bond. Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically. Suppliers are subject to Alabama state law requirements, including E-Verify enrollment and sales-tax-collection certification. Price escalation requests are limited to no more than 5% of annual contract costs and must be supported by industry-specific documentation. The contact for the mandatory site visit is Jen Weathington at 334-329-2917.
