K9 SERVICES FOR BED BUG DETECTION

This solicitation seeks qualified vendors to provide K‑9 bed‑bug detection services for a county‑wide portfolio of residential and common‑area units. The work involves deploying trained detection dogs to inspect high‑rise single‑story units, multi‑family two‑story units (2‑5 bedrooms), and designated common areas, reporting findings, and potentially coordinating follow‑up treatments. Pricing is structured on a per‑unit basis rather than per‑square‑foot, with multiple cost scenarios ranging from roughly $30 k to over $150 k for a three‑year term. The award decision is pending, and the contract will run for three years without an automatic renewal clause. • Scope: K‑9 inspections for listed unit types and common areas, result reporting, optional treatment coordination. • Pricing: Unit‑based rates (e.g., $9‑$18.50 per unit) with total contract values spanning $30‑$150 k across several pricing scenarios. • Term: Fixed three‑year performance period; no renewal provision noted. • Geography: Service area covers county facilities in New Hampshire (vendor locations in NH and MA). • Competition: At least four bidders submitted proposals, indicating modest competition.
