Pest Control Services

The San Joaquin Regional Transit District (RTD) is soliciting pest control services under solicitation number 27005-S, with submissions due by August 13, 2026. The contract is for comprehensive pest management at key transit facilities in Stockton, California, including the Downtown Transit Center, Regional Transportation Center, Filbert Yard, Hammer Triangle Station, and Union Transit Station. The scope requires twice-monthly routine servicing and 24-hour emergency response, with strict adherence to EPA, OSHA, and California Department of Pesticide Regulation standards. All work must follow an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, prioritizing non-chemical methods for interior rodent control and minimizing pesticide use. The contract has a three-year base term with two optional one-year extensions, and pricing is fixed at monthly rates per location, totaling an estimated base value of $22,800 with a full five-year forecasted value of $35,357.05 after applying 15% annual inflation escalation. Awards will be made on a best-value trade-off basis, evaluating technical approach, experience, safety compliance, staffing, past performance, and price—not on lowest cost alone. The contractor must provide full insurance coverage including $1 million commercial general liability, $1 million automobile liability, and statutory workers’ compensation, with RTD named as an additional insured. Policies must be occurrence-based or claims-made with a three-year extended reporting period post-contract, and insurers must maintain an A.M. Best rating of A:VII or higher. All personnel must be qualified, certified, and subject to background checks, with continuity of service required throughout the contract. The vendor must submit a detailed questionnaire including conflict of interest disclosures, DBE status, lobbying certifications, and subcontractor information, alongside signed documentation and references. Compliance with California labor laws, including reemployment obligations under Labor Code Section 1072, is mandatory. Deliverables include monthly treatment plans, bait maps, inspection reports, and emergency response logs, all subject to RTD approval. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal using specified templates, and failure to comply with formatting or documentation requirements may result in rejection. The contractor will be paid within 30 days of receiving a properly documented invoice, with no specific electronic invoicing system mandated. All work occurs on-site at RTD facilities, and the contractor is responsible for all materials, labor, equipment, and disposal of hazardous substances.
