SRB- aerial and/or ground application of insecticides for mosquito control

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts State Reclamation and Mosquito Control Board (SRB) is seeking proposals from multiple vendors that can provide area-wide aerial and/or ground mosquito control services and pesticide products. The purpose of this procurement is to enter into contracts that will allow the SRB to address the increased risk to human health from mosquito-borne diseases such as Eastern Equine Encephalitis, West Nile Virus, Zika Virus, and any other emerging threats. The SRB is looking for proposals for aerial pesticide application services, including fixed or rotary wing aircraft for adulticides and/or larvicides, as well as ground-based spray application services using truck-mounted or backpack sprayers. The initial contract period is 27 months from the effective date to June 30, 2022, with three 3-year renewal options. Responses will be accepted on a rolling basis through March 31, 2030 via the COMMBUYS online system. Pricing should include cost per acre, any charges for minimum/maximum acreage, and additional charges. The SRB seeks to bundle the contracts for services and pesticide product supplies where possible.

The SRB may contract with separate companies for any method of application services as necessary and will select contractors that represent the "Best Value" to the organization. There are no prevailing wage requirements unless the service falls under the public works definition. The SRB may add new contractors to the contract at any time if it determines that additional coverage is needed. This opportunity is specifically for the jurisdiction of Plymouth County, Massachusetts. The contract value and budget range are not provided in the information given.
