PEST CONTROL SERVICES

The City of Englewood Public Works Facilities Division is seeking a comprehensive pest control services contract through Request for Proposal (RFP #25-037) for municipal facilities located in Arapahoe County, Colorado. The procurement aims to establish a one-year contract with potential four one-year renewals, focusing on integrated pest management for 13 different city-owned properties including administrative buildings, recreational centers, fire stations, police facilities, water parks, and parks infrastructure. Required services include monthly preventive maintenance, seasonal treatments, emergency response services, and targeted pest control for various species such as rodents, insects, and seasonal pests specific to the Colorado climate. Contractors must hold valid Colorado commercial pesticide applicator licenses and demonstrate expertise in municipal facility pest control. The proposal evaluation will be based on three primary categories: Project Understanding and Management Approach (35 points), Project Team Experience and Technical Capability (35 points), and Price Proposal (30 points). The RFP was issued on July 24, 2025, with proposals due by August 21, 2025, at 2:00 PM MDT, and the selected contractor must provide comprehensive documentation and reporting while minimizing disruption to city operations.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract requires contractors to maintain substantial insurance coverage, including commercial general liability of $3,000,000 per occurrence, professional liability of $1,000,000, and worker's compensation insurance. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the pricing structure attachment provides a template for vendors to complete with unit-based pricing across multiple service types for each municipal facility. The city reserves the right to terminate the contract with 30 days' notice and will hold a 5% retainage until final inspection and acceptance. Contractors must provide warranties on workmanship and materials for a minimum of one year and comply with local municipal codes and Colorado state laws. The comprehensive nature of the contract suggests a significant annual investment in pest control services, with potential for multi-year engagement based on vendor performance and the option for four additional one-year contract renewals.
