Feral Hog Control & Abatement Services

The City of Dallas is seeking proposals for a 5-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Feral Hog Control and Abatement Services contract, solicitation number BTZ25-00028917, with the primary objective of reducing or eliminating property damage caused by feral hogs across multiple city-owned properties. The contractor will be required to develop a comprehensive hog control plan, deploy and maintain traps using the Jager Pro MINE system or an approved equivalent, check traps daily, and remove trapped hogs within 24 hours to designated USDA-inspected meat processing plants or Texas Animal Health Commission approved holding facilities. Proposers must possess a minimum of two years of commercial feral hog or large wild animal trapping experience in an urban environment and provide three verifiable references. The evaluation will be conducted using a 100-point system, with 35 points allocated to approach, 30 points for experience, 30 points for cost, and 5 points for local preference. The proposal is due by December 5, 2025, with the City reserving the right to reject any proposals and negotiate with the top-ranked respondent.

The solicitation includes provisions for local workforce participation and encourages involvement from local and disadvantaged businesses. While participation is voluntary, the City provides a Team Make-Up and Local Workforce Form for contractors to detail their team composition, historical project utilization, and workforce demographics. The contract requires a living wage of at least $23.06 per hour and includes a local preference program that offers potential bid price adjustments and evaluation points for businesses with a principal place of business in Dallas or a significant local resident workforce. The contract will cover approximately 20 municipal properties across various departments including Park and Recreation, Dallas Water Utility, Department of Sanitation, and Department of Aviation. Although a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the ID/IQ structure suggests flexible service deployment with payments made periodically upon completion and acceptance of services. Contractors must also meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including Workers' Compensation, Business Automobile Liability, and Commercial General Liability insurance, with specific endorsements naming the City of Dallas as an additional insured.
