Monthy exterminating services

The Housing Authority of Bergen County, New Jersey, is seeking a professional exterminating services contractor to provide comprehensive monthly pest and rodent control for nine housing properties across the county. The procurement, identified by State Local Contract Opportunity ID 67fa5c7e7c393d5d3b063de4, requires a qualified contractor to deliver routine monthly extermination services using approved pesticide treatments, trapping devices, and other control methods targeting various pests including ants, water bugs, mice, rats, cockroaches, and other insects and rodents. The contract will span two years with a potential one-year optional extension, covering monthly treatments of all building areas such as apartments, common spaces, storage rooms, utility rooms, and outdoor areas. Contractors must be properly licensed with current pest control certifications and submit proof of business registration, insurance, and commercial pesticide applicator credentials. The solicitation requires bidders to provide a total monthly cost for each building, an overall yearly cost, and a unit price per apartment for potential future location additions. The proposal is due by April 25, 2025, with the opportunity posted on April 11, 2025.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors will be required to submit detailed service documentation, including service slips and certified payroll records, with electronic invoicing. The Housing Authority reserves the right to terminate the contract for non-performance and potentially award services to different contractors for different sites. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the contract includes provisions for additional bed bug treatments to be priced separately on an "as-needed" basis. The solicitation indicates that certain pests like termites and larger vertebrates are excluded from the standard contract. Contractors should note that the Authority will conduct monthly visual inspections of each room to ensure comprehensive pest management. The document suggests that the contract value will be determined by the total monthly and yearly pricing submitted by qualified bidders during the proposal process.
