BACKGROUND / JUSTIFICATION
DWSD Facilities Division is requesting an amendment to the one-year, single source contract for pest control services for all DWSD sites. The contractor provides all DWSD facilities with scheduled and emergency pest control services, which are needed to exterminate pests, maintain building grounds, DWSD vehicles, and keep the surrounding DWSD areas free of pests, menacing insects and vermin by using safe and proper methods in accordance with Integrated Pest Management (IMP) requirements of the State of Michigan Pesticide Control Act and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). The continued service from this vendor is necessary for the safety and welfare of our employees, contractors and visitors.
PROCUREMENT METHOD
The initial contract was executed as a Single Source, with an approved Exception to Competitive Solicitation, because of DWSD’s Piggyback request from utilizing the City of Detroit (CoC) contract. Upon the expiration of CoD’s contract and the delays of rebidding, DWSD has continued services for pest control, as to not impact daily operations. The Exception to Competitive Solicitation was approved on 9/17/24 by Director Brown for $90,000.00 and for a term of (1 year) 10/1/2024 - 9/30/2025.
Facility Operations initiated this Amendment by submitting Requisition #535471, which was approved on 8/25/25. The Proposed Amendment No. 1 will extend the contract for an additional (6) six months for a new term ending 3/31/2026 and will add $25,000.00, for a new NTE amount of $115,000.00.
The Facilities Division is in the process of submitting a new request to advertise a replacement contract to proceed, the expiring term.
Pronto Pest Management, Inc. clearances expire on 8/1/26 and a formal amended contract document is being sent to the vendor and DWSD management for review and for signatures.
