Conservation/Parks/Lake Guntersville - FY27 Pest Control

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is soliciting monthly pest control services for Lake Guntersville State Park under an all-or-none contract with proposals due October 2, 2026 and a mandatory site visit on September 29, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. The vendor must hold a current license as a pesticide applicator — the controlling capability filter.

The scope covers interior and exterior pest control at multiple park facilities including the office, campground store, ten camper cabins, gathering place, nature hut, seven bath houses, pro shop, fishing center, four staff houses, and entrance station. Services must address rats, mice, roaches, ants (excluding carpenter ants), silverfish, spiders, fleas, and occasional pests using only environmentally friendly pesticides from the state's approved list. The specification prohibits granules, internal bait boxes, sticky traps, and fly traps. The vendor must maintain rodent stations on building exteriors with monthly monitoring and provide callback services within eight hours of notification at no charge, given the park operates 24 hours daily with resident guests. Insurance requirements include a $200,000 aggregate limit and $100,000 per occurrence.

The contract term runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. A second quotable line item is available for additional services such as bed bug or German roach treatments as needed. The vendor must sign in and out during each visit and provide Material Safety Data sheets upon initial visit and upon request.

The site visit is located at 4242 Aubrey Carr Scenic Drive, Guntersville, Alabama 35976. Jonathan Gruber (256-960-7013) is the point of contact for questions.
