IFB P2660005, Pest Control Services at Imperial Wildlife Area & San Jacinto Wildlife Area

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is seeking a qualified contractor to provide Integrated Pest Management (IPM) services through Invitation for Bid (IFB) P2660005, with a submission deadline of May 4, 2026. The procurement covers pest control services at two CDFW-owned facilities: the Imperial Wildlife Area in Niland, California, and the San Jacinto Wildlife Area in Lakeview, California. The contractor will be responsible for quarterly IPM services targeting the control and eradication of mice, rats, termites, and crawling and flying insects across multiple building types, including work buildings, public restrooms, state-owned residences, water treatment facilities, and garages—specifically four work buildings, six public restrooms, and eight residences at Imperial Wildlife Area, and two work buildings, two residences, one water treatment outbuilding, and one public restroom building at San Jacinto Wildlife Area. The contract term extends from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, with services to be performed during standard business hours excluding holidays, and additional on-demand infestation treatments included in the scope of work. Required qualifications include a valid Structural Pest Control Board License issued by the Department of Consumer Affairs and a valid Qualified Applicator License for Landscape Maintenance (Category B) issued by the Department of Pesticide Regulation. The contractor must maintain commercial general liability insurance with limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate, automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000 combined single limit, pollution liability insurance of $1,000,000 each occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and workers compensation insurance with $1,000,000 limits. Compensation will be calculated on a quarterly basis in arrears based on submitted invoices detailing actual costs incurred, with the maximum agreement amount to be determined based on unit rates for quarterly services at each location across the three fiscal years.

No specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions are detailed in the available procurement documents for the primary CDFW pest control solicitation; however, a separate addendum (26WS0006) issued by the California Department of Veterans Affairs indicates DVBE (Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise) set-aside requirements apply to an associated solicitation. The procurement documents do not identify any incumbent contractors or existing vendors currently providing services at these facilities. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the available materials; instead, compensation is structured as a cost-reimbursable arrangement based on quarterly unit rates and actual on-demand treatment costs submitted through invoices to the CDFW Contract Manager, Cris Crecelius. Payment will be issued by warrant from the California State Controller's Office, and all invoices must be submitted within thirty days following contract expiration or termination. Prospective bidders should submit any written questions or requests for clarification by the established deadline to ensure clarifications are provided as official addendums.
