St. Lawrence County opens lone bid for mosquito-control RFP
Summary
Assistant purchasing agent Stephanie Kerr read a single bid for RFP 202508 for mosquito control for the St. Lawrence County Public Health Department: a vendor identified as "Duflo" (spelled d-u-f-l-o) at $4.50 per acre; aerial surveillance was quoted at $265 per hour. No award was announced; staff said they will follow up.
Stephanie Kerr, assistant purchasing agent for St. Lawrence County, opened RFP 202508 and read a single bid for mosquito-control services.
Kerr said the bidder was read as "Duflo" (spelled d-u-f-l-o) and identified in the record as "Duflo spray chemical ink." She told the room the bidder quoted a spray price of $4.50 per acre and listed aerial surveillance at $265 per hour. "It's gonna be $4.50 an acre," Kerr said as she read the bid.
The proposal was presented as the only bid received for the project. Kerr also stated she had "a sign on collusion page" in the procurement file; the transcript phrasing is ambiguous about whether this refers to a signed collusion statement or a signature on a non-collusion certification. The bid opening record did not include an award, further evaluation details or a contract timeline; Kerr said staff would be in touch with bidders.
The RFP was identified as for the St. Lawrence County Public Health Department. The county did not provide additional context in the session about the program budget, how many acres are expected to be treated, or next steps in evaluation and award.
The purchasing office closed the item after reading the submission; no formal motion, vote or contract award was announced during the bid opening.
