DVBE participation requirements have been waived, though contractors are encouraged to utilize DVBE subcontractors.

The scope covers monthly pest control services at five locations in Yuba City, Oroville, Chico, Redding, and Red Bluff.

The contractor must hold a valid Operator, Branch 2 license from the California Structural Pest Control Board and comply with EPA and State of California pesticide registration requirements and the California Army National Guard Integrated Pest Management Plan. Work occurs Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., excluding state and federal holidays. All pesticide application reports, including DD Form 1532-1, and annual pesticide usage reports must be submitted; Safety Data Sheets must be maintained.

The contract term runs 36 months from on or around September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2029. The State will award a single lump-sum contract to the lowest responsive, qualified, responsible bidder. The contractor must self-perform at least 20% of total work and obtain prior written Military Department approval for any subcontractors. Commercial General Liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, Automobile Liability of $1 million per occurrence where applicable, and statutory Workers' Compensation coverage are required. All costs—insurance, permits, equipment, and compliance—are the contractor's responsibility.
