The services will be performed in approximately 121 NIH campus facilities (patient care, food services and support facilities) located in Bethesda/Rockville, Maryland and leased buildings in the surrounding Washington Metropolitan area. Assessment services will only be required for approximately 19 of the leased facilities. The Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, tools, materials, parts, equipment, and transportation necessary to develop, implement and maintain a comprehensive IPMP in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, and contract requirements. Only the most current and effective pest management practices shall be used in the IPMP. Pest management practices are based on thorough inspections, pest monitoring, collecting, evaluating and reporting data, identifying housekeeping and structural deficiencies, and training pest management contractor and NIH personnel. Pest control is accomplished through identifying required control measures, determining the type of control measures, and the method(s) of application. The Contractor shall be responsible for surveying, monitoring, plan development, assessment of facility conditions and personnel practices, applying pesticides, and sealing pathways and harborage. The Contractor MUST have a Commercial Pesticide Business License and ensure personnel have required licenses to perform in accordance to all federal, state and local laws, such as certification for a Pesticide Applicator by the Maryland Department of Agriculture.
