SUBJECT: AGREEMENT FOR PEST CONTROL SERVICES FOR CITY FACILITIES Background:
The City addresses pest control services at individual facilities on an as-needed basis, and a few select facilities have ongoing service agreements. While this approach has addressed immediate concerns, it has resulted in various service levels across facilities.
To promote consistency, improve preventive maintenance, and better manage potential pest- related issues proactively, staff evaluated the need for a citywide pest control service and determined it would be in the best interest of the City to go out to bid for all facilities.
On September 23, 2024 staff issued a request for quotes (RFQ #25-3101-002) and reviewed bids from multiple vendors. On October 4, 2024 four bids were received with the following results:
Bidder Annual Cost
Commercial Pest Services $ 12,476.00
New Systems Exterminating $ 15,280.00
Corkys Pest Control $ 23,060.00
Fieldtech Integrated Pest Solutions $ 51,900.00

After careful evaluation, Commercial Pest Services was selected based on qualifications and pricing. The proposed agreement includes, but is not limited to, routine scheduled inspections and treatments for all City Facilities.
Implementing a citywide agreement will ensure uniform service standards, better tracking of service history, and a more strategic, cost-effective approach to pest management across all City facilities.
The agreement term is two years with the option to extend for additional terms upon mutual agreement.
Fiscal Impact:
The Fiscal Year 2025/26 budget includes $12,500 for the first year of the term, and another $12,500 will be included in the following year’s budget.
