Tented Vikane Fumigation Services

The Pinellas County School District is soliciting bids for Tented Vikane Fumigation Services through Invitation to Bid #25-JG-040, seeking to award contracts to a maximum of two contractors for tarpaulin method general fumigation using Vikane (Sulfuryl fluoride) gas to eliminate Drywood Termites across various district locations. The contract will run from May 13, 2025, to May 12, 2026, with options to renew for two additional one-year periods. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for March 25, 2025, at the Walter Pownall Service Center, with electronic bids due by 3:00 pm on April 8, 2025, through the district's OpenGov Procurement portal. The pricing structure is organized into eight categories based on cubic feet and foundation type, ranging from 0-20,000 to 750,001 and above cubic feet. Bidders must provide all-inclusive pricing covering labor, equipment, supplies, and associated costs, and must bid on all four categories to be considered responsive. Evaluation will focus on the lowest responsive and responsible bidders, with work rotation among approved contractors based on workload and response capabilities.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations mentioned in the documents. Vendors must meet comprehensive requirements, including background screening, site security, and compliance with E-Verify employment eligibility verification. Insurance requirements are stringent, with contractors needing to obtain insurance certificates within ten working days of contract award, with coverage varying based on project contract value (ranging from $1,000,000 per occurrence with $2,000,000 general aggregate for projects under $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence with $5,000,000 general aggregate for projects $500,000 and over). The contract includes a two-year warranty period, and vendors must provide detailed documentation including fumigation logs, calibration records, and monitoring information. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive pricing structure and multiple categories suggest a potentially significant contract value for successful bidders. Contractors must demonstrate expertise in Vikane fumigation, including proof of stewardship training and compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations.
