5. Erasures, Inconsistent Bids The bid submitted must not contain any erasures, interlineations, or other corrections unless each such correction creates no inconsistency and is suitably authenticated by affixing in the margin immediately opposite the correction the signature or signatures of the person or persons signing the bid. In the event of inconsistency between words and figures in the bid price, words shall control figures. In the case of an error in an extension, the unit price upon which the extension is based shall take precedence. In the event the District determines that any bid is unintelligible, inconsistent or ambiguous, the District may reject such bid as not being responsive to the invitation to bid.

6. Withdrawal of Bids Any bid may be withdrawn, either personally, by written request, or by telegraphic request, at any time prior to the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids.

10. Award of Contract District reserves the right to reject any or all bids, or to waive any irregularities or informalities in any bids or in the bidding. The award of the contract, if made by the District, will be to the lowest responsible bidder from among those bidders responsive to the call for bids. If two identical low bids are received from responsible bidders, the District will determine which bid will be accepted pursuant to Public Contract Code 20117. District realizes that conditions other than price are important and may award based on individual items bid, or any combination of individual items, or upon a cumulative total of all items bid; whichever method is determined to be in its best interests and can be awarded on an all or nothing basis; may reject any or all bids, any part of a bid, or may waive any informality in a bid.

11. Alternates If alternate bids are called for, the contract may be awarded at the election of the Governing Board to the lowest responsible bidder on the base bid, or on the base bid and any alternate or combination of alternates.

12. Competency of Bidders In selecting the lowest responsible bidder, consideration will be given not only to the financial standing, but also to the general competency of the bidder for the performance of the Work covered by the bid. By submitting a bid, each bidder agrees that the District, in determining the successful bidder and its eligibility for the award, may consider the bidder's experience and facilities, conduct and performance under other contracts, financial condition, reputation in the industry, and other factors which could affect the bidder's performance of the Work. To this end, each bid shall be supported by a statement of the bidder's experience as of the recent date on the form entitled "INFORMATION REQUIRED OF BIDDER," bound herein. 13. Forfeiture for Failure to Execute Contract In the event the bidder to whom an award is made fails or refuses to execute the contract within five (5) consecutive calendar days from the date receiving notification of the award and the contract, District may award the work and/or materials to the next lowest bidder, or may call for new bids. 14. Sales/Use Tax The Bidder shall not include California sales/use tax in its Bid Proposal unless the Bid Form calls for "Total Job Costs," in which case the bid shall include all applicable sales and use taxes, permits, and licenses. 15. Delivery Charges Bids are sought which are priced F.O.B. destination unless the bid documents invite quotations for delivery and freight to be set apart or as separate cost items.

16. Delivery Services shall be made to the District Locations specified in the Appendix A, Specifications, Pages 18 – 19. 17. Prices If during the contract period there should be a decrease in prices of the items bid, a corresponding decrease in prices on the balance of the deliveries shall be made to the District for as long as the lower prices are in effect, but at no time shall the prices charged the District exceed the prices bid. The District shall be given the benefit of any lower prices which may, for comparable quality and delivery be given by the contractor to any other school District or any other state, county, municipal or local governmental agency in Riverside County for products listed herein. 18. Price Escalation In the event that the bidder’s supplier or manufacturer increases the price of the item(s) to be supplied hereunder during the term of the contract, only such increases may be passed on to District. At the time of request, bidder must furnish written substantiation of increase by its supplier/manufacturer to District’s Purchasing Director. Said substantiation shall be in the form of invoices, receipts and/or other appropriate documentation showing costs in effect at the time of the bid proposal versus cost in effect at the time of the request for price escalation. Any price increase must be substantiated to the satisfaction of District and shall only be effective upon acceptance by District in writing. In no event, however, shall the total increase in price for any goods under the contract exceed 5% during the initial term of the contract. No increase in overhead and/or profit to bidder will be allowed. “Overhead,” for the purposes of the contract, shall be defined as the cost to bidder of doing business including, but not limited to, rent, utilities, mortgage, payments, taxes, transportation, labor, etc. 19.

If not consumed or destroyed in such testing, the sample will be returned to the vendor after award of bid is made. If an alternate has been indicated but rejected by the District as not being an "equal," bidder agrees that by submitting its bid, bidder shall provide the specified equipment or material. Unless an alternate make and model is indicated in the space provided, it is agreed all items proposed are as named in the specifications. Substitution of equipment after the award will not be permitted. 21. Non-Exclusivity The District is not required to purchase any minimum quantity of any product and/or supply specified in this bid document from vendor, and may, if deemed to be in the best interest of District, as determined in District’s sole discretion, to purchase the same or similar product from another vendor.

SPECIFICATIONS

Article I. GENERAL Section 1.01 INTRODUCTION

(a) Corona-Norco Unified School District (CNUSD) utilizes an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program for schools under its authority. The program is a system for controlling pests in which pests are identified, action thresholds are considered and control options evaluated and implemented as necessary.

(b) This specification was developed via consultation with the CNUSD Field

Supervisor (Operations, Maintenance), past contracts/specifications, other school districts, industry advisement and various printed publications by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, California Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Environment Protection Agency.

Article II. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

Section 2.01 PURPOSE, DESIGN and OBJECTIVES

(a) IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests

and their interactions with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and environment. IPM programs take advantage of all pest management options, including, but not limited to, the judicious use of pesticides.

(b) IPM procedures will determine when and whether mechanical, physical, chemical,

cultural or biological control methods are necessary for pest control. This process involves three steps:

(c) Monitoring and Inspection Determining the presence, level and identification of a

pest problem. Diligent and consistent monitoring and inspection will indicate potential problems and confirm the success or failure of specific control measures.

(d) Determining action/tolerance levels Determination of the level at which pest

activity and/or damage is considered to be acceptable or unacceptable. Also referred to as action threshold. Consideration must be given to the site involved, health concerns caused by the pest, the needs of the site and the potential for injury/damage caused by the pest.

Page 33: Pest Control Services Bid No. 2018/19-025...Corona-Norco Unified School District PURCHASING DEPARTMENT . 2820 Clark Ave. Norco, CA 92860 . Pest Control Services . Bid No. 2018/19-025

Page 5 of 20 CORONA-NORCO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Pest Control Services RFP No. 2018/19-025

(e) Curative and/or preventive action Selected control and/or preventive measures must balance factors of efficacy, worker/public health and safety, cost and potential hazards to property and the environment.

(f) The IPM program used by CNUSD is designed to ensure that:

(i) Pests that may occur on school sites are managed to prevent interference with the

learning environment of the students.

(ii) Injury or potential injury to students, staff and other occupants are eliminated.

(iii) The integrity of school buildings and/or structures is preserved.

(iv) The safest outside environment is made available to students. This includes play surfaces and athletic fields.

(v) The use of chemicals, including but not limited to pesticides and rodenticides, is

applied judiciously to minimize exposure and prevent risk to students, teachers, and staff through their application.

1) Non-chemical control measures are used when it is deemed that the use of nonchemical applications will effectively accomplish the objectives set forth in this specification in a time- and cost- efficient manner as compared to chemical applications.

Article III. REQUIREMENTS Section 3.01 DEFINITIONS
