Pest Control Services for DOC Tipton Correctional Center

The Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB931y20708543) for comprehensive pest control services at the Tipton Correctional Center (TCC) located in Montgomery County. The procurement seeks a vendor to provide three distinct service levels: bi-monthly pest control (24 treatments annually), quarterly pest control (4 treatments per year performed in January, April, July, and October), and as-needed pest control services (estimated 12 treatments annually). The successful contractor will be responsible for managing pest infestations throughout the correctional facility, with treatments delivered free on board to the destination. The solicitation period runs from May 14, 2020, to June 4, 2020, with bids due by 3:00 PM CDT on the closing date. Non-mandatory site tours are available by appointment with Laura Sanning, the TCC Business Manager, requiring at least four business days' advance notice. Vendors must complete and submit Exhibit A (Pricing Page) and any applicable additional exhibits, with bids able to be submitted either electronically through MissouriBUYS or as sealed hard copy responses.

The IFB does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, indicating the solicitation is open to all qualified vendors. No incumbent vendor is identified in the documentation, and no specific funding sources are detailed. Payment terms are established at Net 45 days, with invoices to be submitted to the DOC Fiscal Management Unit in Jefferson City. The contract will have an initial one-year term with two optional one-year renewal periods, allowing vendors to propose percentage increases or decreases for subsequent renewal periods. While the total estimated contract value is not explicitly stated, vendors are required to provide unit pricing for bi-monthly, quarterly, and as-needed pest control services. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and best bidder, with the expectation that the selected vendor can effectively manage pest control challenges within the correctional facility environment.
