Pest Control Services

Flagler County, Florida is requesting competitive sealed bids for comprehensive pest control services across County facilities under ITB #26-ITB-020, with bids due August 20, 2026 at 2:00 PM. A local-vendor preference applies to businesses with a physical location in Flagler County for at least 12 months prior to bid issuance, maintaining required business licenses, and employing at least one full-time or two part-time employees whose primary residence is in Flagler County.

The Contractor must provide all labor, equipment, materials, tools, transportation, supervision, and incidentals for interior and exterior pest control at prescribed frequencies across County facilities. Services are conducted Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, excluding County-recognized holidays, with personnel checking in with each facility's building supervisor prior to service. Failure to service any location results in a deduction equal to twice the monthly bid amount for that site. The Contractor must maintain an active Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) Commercial Pest Control Business License, submit the license number and Certified Operator in Charge (COIC) name and certification category, and provide FDACS-issued technician identification cards for all personnel performing services — compliance with Chapter 482, Florida Statutes is mandatory.

The contract term is three years with two optional one-year renewals contingent on mutual written agreement and Board approval. The Contractor must maintain comprehensive insurance including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, motor vehicle liability, and pollution liability. Bid prices must remain firm for at least 120 days from solicitation opening and include all FOB Destination costs, packing, handling, and delivery.
