All offerors must provide their best offer based on commercial practices. 12.If there are rodents baits already at the location and all that is needed is the rat poison, how many baits are there? All offerors must provide their best offer based on commercial practices and information provided. 14. Groups as parasite pests, pests that require different approaches and different services. Services against lice, bedbugs, ticks and mosquitoes are not, and should not be, rendered on a monthly basis. It is on an as-needed basis. Fogging for mosquitoes is not the same as treatment of bedbugs. These are services performed according to degree of infestation, location and treatment method. For example: bedbugs. Are they infesting all mattresses, or just one; are they in the walls, etc.? Question was not clear, read carefully and all offerors must provide their best offer based on commercial practices. 15. Includes all stored product pests. Unless it is a large warehouse, it is always best to discard the infested product. Question was not clear. Therefore was not answered. 16. Control of pests birds - The best non-chemical way to control pests birds is the utilization of mechanical means such as netting, flex track (electric means) and other alternatives that vary according to the type of bird, location and infestation. Once installed, the problem should be solved. I doubt you want us to use Avitrol since it's a poison that could kill other birds and its usage is very restricted by EPA. This part of the solicitation was added by mistake. (14.11)Not related to this procurement. Please disregard this part of solicitation. These types of services are not monthly services and should not be included as such. They are what we would define as odd- jobs. Not related to this procurement.
