Pest Control Services

The Norfolk Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NRHA) is seeking a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive pest control services for seven properties in Norfolk, Virginia. The solicitation, Request for Proposal (RFP) PR2528-148-26, covers four public housing properties (Diggs Town, Young Terrace, Calvert Square, Oakleaf Forest) and three senior midrise facilities (Hunter Square, Bobbitt, Sykes, and North Wellington). The contract will require an integrated pest management (IPM) approach that minimizes pesticide use and focuses on prevention, resident education, and environmentally sensitive treatments. Key deliverables include routine quarterly inspections, emergency treatments, unit turnover services, and comprehensive pest control across residential units, learning centers, management spaces, and common areas. Evaluation criteria will assess the contractor's IPM plan (30 points), personnel qualifications (15 points), past performance (10 points), references (10 points), pricing (25 points), and relocation/renovation experience (5 points). The pre-proposal conference and property walk-through are scheduled for October 16-17, 2025, with proposals due by November 7, 2025. The anticipated contract term is five years, consisting of a base year and four one-year option periods, with potential extension to additional NRHA properties.

The solicitation includes Section 3 compliance requirements, which aim to provide employment and contracting opportunities to low-income residents and businesses in the project area. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the emphasis on local economic participation suggests a preference for local or disadvantaged enterprises. The contract does not specify an incumbent vendor or provide a precise budget range. However, the detailed pricing schedule includes line items for various services across different property types and areas, indicating a comprehensive and potentially significant contract value. Contractors will be expected to demonstrate expertise in integrated pest management, with a strong emphasis on environmentally sensitive approaches and minimal chemical interventions. The multi-property scope and five-year potential duration suggest this is a substantial opportunity for pest control service providers with experience in residential and senior living environments.
