The scope covers comprehensive pest control services at administrative buildings, courthouses, libraries, fire stations, sheriff facilities, water treatment plants, parks, caretaker houses, Daytona International Airport, and VOTRAN transit facilities.

The County reserves the right to add or delete sites, buildings, square footage, and vehicles during the contract term, with additional location pricing based on the bidder's submitted per-square-foot rate.

Contract term is three years with two optional one-year renewals, contingent upon mutual written agreement and County Council approval. Evaluation criteria include total cost, availability, past performance with three relevant project references from the past three years, and financial stability. Bidders must submit firm unit prices for all line items; responses such as "No Bid," "N/A," "TBD," or "Included" are non-responsive. Payment terms allow 45 business days from invoice receipt, with 1 percent monthly interest on unpaid invoices after 30 days.
