Boulder County Housing Authority (BCHA) is soliciting a short-list arrangement of qualified pest control service contractors to provide comprehensive integrated pest management (IPM) services across all residential and administrative properties under BCHA management, including multifamily complexes, senior housing units, scattered-site single-family homes, common areas, community buildings, and administrative offices. The scope of work encompasses monthly routine inspections and treatments, 24-hour emergency response capabilities, and specialized protocols for treating cockroaches, ants, spiders, rodents, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, stinging insects, silverfish, and general pests, with termite inspections available upon request. Contractors must employ state-licensed certified technicians, provide all labor, equipment, materials, and supplies, and submit detailed service reports after each visit including property information, dates, areas treated, pest activity observations, chemical usage with EPA registration numbers, and prevention recommendations; monthly summary reports and quarterly evaluation reports are also required. The contract term shall not exceed five years based on satisfactory performance, pricing, and continued need, with performance standards requiring significant pest activity reduction within 30 days of initial treatment and re-treatment of persistent infestations at no additional cost. All work must comply with federal regulations including FIFRA, OSHA standards, HUD pest management guidelines, state and local health regulations, and HUD Notice PIH 2011-22. The evaluation criteria allocate 100 total points weighted as follows: Effectiveness of Treatments/Experience (45 points), Safety and Environmental Impact (35 points), and Response Time and Service Frequency (20 points). The solicitation was posted on January 27, 2026, with a proposal due date of February 12, 2026; interested parties with questions should contact procurement@bouldercounty.gov.

The solicitation documents do not identify specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or incumbent vendors; however, all bidders must comply with Americans with Disabilities Act and Equal Opportunity requirements applicable to Boulder County. Contractors must complete a Sustainability Questionnaire addressing environmental compliance, supply chain management, resource efficiency, and sustainability certifications relevant to their operations. Contractors are required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 general aggregate with pesticide liability included), Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, and Employer's Liability coverage ($100,000 per accident/$500,000 disease-policy limit/$100,000 disease-each employee), with both BCHA and Boulder County named as additional insureds. The short-list arrangement operates on a project-by-project basis with no guaranteed work volume; for projects valued below $10,000, the County may assign work directly to any vendor on the short list, while projects valued at $10,000 or greater require competitive quotes from all short-listed vendors. Specific budget ranges or award values are not stated in the solicitation documents; however, pricing information will be collected through a fillable fee schedule template covering eleven service categories including general pest control, rodent control, termite control, bed bug treatment, mosquito control, and mixed pest services at varying service frequencies.
