Commission conditionally approves turnkey mosquito-control contract after vendor agrees to add RFP terms
Aug 19, 2026

The full story
Staff explained the County issued an RFP for mosquito-control services after the in‑house operator failed the state director’s exam; because certification is required to keep grant funding, staff recommended a turnkey contract with BDCI to begin Oct. 1. The packet listed a contract cost in staff’s readout that the transcript recorded as "$120,000, then $129.63 annually"; staff and the vendor agreed to add the RFP documentation and statutory provisions (human‑trafficking clauses, venue in Taylor County, prompt-payment act) into the final agreement.
