  • Bidders may bid on one, multiple, or all four zones, and the MBTA may award contracts for selected zones separately.
  • The contract is anticipated to have a three-year base period with two one-year renewal options at the MBTA's discretion.
  • Proposals are due electronically via COMMBUYS by July 27, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. local Boston time.
  • A pre-bid conference will be held virtually on Microsoft Teams on July 6, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.
  • Site visits are scheduled for July 7, 2026, at South Station (7–10 a.m.), Back Bay (11 a.m.–2 p.m.), and Aquarium (2–5 p.m.).
  • Deadline for bidder questions via COMMBUYS Q&A is July 16, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., with official answers published July 20, 2026.
  • The scope includes scheduled monthly IPM services, ad hoc sustained coverage, and 24/7/365 emergency response (4-hour on-site arrival for emergencies, 24-hour response for routine work orders).
  • Key performance indicators (KPIs) require 90% compliance for both routine (24-hour) and emergency (4-hour) response times, measured quarterly after a 90-day grace period.
  • The contractor must carry Commercial General Liability insurance ($1M per occurrence/$1M aggregate), Workers' Compensation with Employer's Liability ($1M each accident/employee/aggregate), Umbrella Liability ($5M per occurrence/aggregate), and Pollution Liability ($3M per occurrence aggregate, with additional disposal facility and hauler coverage).
  • All insurance must be placed with carriers licensed in Massachusetts and rated A- or better by Best's, and the MBTA must be named as an additional insured on CGL and Umbrella policies.
  • The contractor must submit proof of insurance within three business days of conditional notice of award.
  • The MBTA encourages participation by Supplier Diversity Office-certified businesses (MBE, WBE, VBE, SDVOBE, DOBE, LGBTBE) and third-party certifying organizations; Supplier Diversity accounts for 25% of the technical scoring.
  • The award will be based on best value, not lowest price; technical factors combined may be more important than price.
  • The pricing template (Form D) requires bidders to provide monthly base prices per location, annual totals, and hourly rates for additional scheduled and emergency work, with a materials markup not exceeding 10%.
  • Total square footage for stations across all zones is approximately 3,096,498 sq ft, and for facilities approximately 3,786,418 sq ft, as listed in the pricing template.
  • The contractor must comply with Massachusetts General Law Chapter 132B (pesticide notification), Right-to-Know Law, OSHA Hazard Communication Standard, and maintain a Health and Safety Plan (HASP) submitted 10 days before work.
  • Personnel working within 10 feet of MBTA rail lines must obtain and maintain MBTA Right of Way/Roadway Worker Protection (ROW/RWP) safety training (initial 8-hour class, recertification every 24 months).
  • The contractor must conduct criminal background checks (including CORI) on all employees and subcontractors at least every two years.
  • There are no liquidated damages or performance guarantee required for this contract.
  • The MBTA reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, cancel the RFP, or negotiate with any bidder.
