Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a "Pest Control Checklist" designed to evaluate a facility's compliance with pest control measures. It serves as a tool for inspectors to systematically review and document pest control program effectiveness, monitoring, exclusion measures, waste management, sanitation, employee training, chemical use, and documentation.

The checklist is divided into several sections:

• Pest Control Program: Assesses the existence of a written plan, a licensed provider, and scheduled services.
• Pest Monitoring: Verifies the strategic placement of monitoring devices, maintenance of inspection records, and review of activity reports.
• Exclusion Measures: Checks for sealed entry points, maintained screens and doors, and functional air curtains.
• Storage and Waste Management: Evaluates storage practices, waste disposal, and waste storage area management.
• Sanitation: Reviews cleaning procedures for pest-prone areas, food residue removal, and elimination of standing water.
• Employee Training: Assesses pest awareness training, reporting procedures, and maintenance of training records.
• Chemical Use: Verifies safe pesticide application, marking of restricted areas, and secure pesticide storage.
• Documentation: Confirms that pest control records, corrective actions, and trend analysis are documented.
• Notes/Observations: A section for additional comments and observations.
• Statement of Inspection: A certification by the inspector.
• Approved By: A section for approval.

While this document is a checklist for inspection, it outlines the specific criteria and standards related to pest control that a facility must meet. If the opportunity involves facility maintenance, management, or services where pest control is a component, this checklist indicates the expected level of compliance and the areas that will be scrutinized. Bidders should review this checklist to understand the government's expectations regarding pest control practices and ensure their proposed services or solutions align with these requirements.
