Salt Lake City Request for Proposals SLCI26027 - Pest and Rodent Control Services for the Salt Lake City Department of Airports

Salt Lake City Corporation is soliciting competitive sealed proposals for comprehensive pest and rodent control services for the Salt Lake City Department of Airports, covering three airport facilities: Salt Lake City International Airport, South Valley Regional Airport, and Tooele Valley Airport. The services encompass approximately 3,670,923 square feet and include insect control, rodent control, pigeon and bird control, bedbug inspection and treatment, and stinging insect control. Offerors must meet seven mandatory minimum requirements, including five years of similar experience, current commercial pesticide applicator licenses, use of EPA-registered pesticides, a minimum staff of 20 employees, and Silver LEED certification. The evaluation process involves three stages: initial responsiveness review, technical and policy criteria evaluation (with a minimum threshold of 1,212.8 points out of 1,732.5 points), and cost proposal evaluation. A mandatory pre-proposal site visit is scheduled for Wednesday, February 11, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. at the Salt Lake City International Airport terminal, with failure to attend resulting in automatic disqualification. Proposals must be electronically submitted through the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) website, with specific submission deadlines outlined on the platform.

The contract allows for potential business certification recognition, including MBE, WBE, SBE, SDVBE, or LBE status, with local small business status evaluated as a policy criterion. The resulting contract will be for a five-year term with potential price adjustment provisions after the second year, subject to approval by the Chief Procurement Officer. Proposed pricing must comprehensively cover all service delivery costs, including materials, labor, insurance, and transportation, with pricing guaranteed for the first two years. Contractors will be required to provide a dedicated full-time professional technician working two eight-hour days per week, with 24/7 emergency call-out availability. The scope includes services for 68 existing and new facilities totaling over 2.3 million square feet, utilizing electronic multi-catch traps, exterior electronically monitored stations, and advanced monitoring technologies. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the services and the multiple airport facilities suggest a significant contract value with potential for ongoing service requirements and extensions.
