MONTHY EXTERMINATING SERVICES

The Housing Development Corporation of Bergen County, New Jersey, is seeking a qualified contractor to provide monthly exterminating services for 14 residential housing properties encompassing 319 total residential units across multiple municipalities including Bergenfield, Emerson, and Saddle Brook. The procurement is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for comprehensive pest and rodent control services, with a two-year contract term and a potential one-year optional extension. Contractors must submit detailed monthly pricing for each property and include a unit price for potential future location additions. The scope of work requires comprehensive pest control for various insects and rodents such as ants, water bugs, mice, and cockroaches, covering both interior and exterior building spaces including apartments, common areas, utility rooms, and outdoor areas. Bidders must possess specific certifications including New Jersey State Business Registration, Commercial Pesticide Applicator Certificates, and Institutional Exterminator licenses. The proposal is due on April 25, 2025, with the opportunity posted on April 11, 2025, and contractors must demonstrate compliance with EPA-registered chemical usage and strict safety protocols.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide separate pricing for specialized treatments such as bed bug interventions, which are not included in the standard monthly service contract. The Housing Development Corporation reserves the right to award the contract to one or multiple contractors and may add new locations during the contract term. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documentation, the contract covers monthly services across 14 properties totaling 319 residential units, suggesting a potentially substantial annual contract value. Successful bidders must demonstrate extensive professional qualifications, including certified personnel, appropriate licensing, and the ability to utilize EPA-approved pesticide treatments. The procurement allows for flexible contract management, with the agency maintaining discretion in vendor selection and potential contract modifications. Contractors will be expected to provide comprehensive documentation of treatments, safety protocols, and chemical applications throughout the service period.
