This is a Purchase Requisition document issued by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) for confidential document destruction and recycling services. The Authority is requesting a one-year Blanket Purchase Order (BPO) with two one-year option terms to manage the destruction and recycling of confidential documents and recyclable materials generated by the printshop. The contract is effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and will replace the existing agreement with Paper Depot (Contract C02264). The request was entered on December 29, 2025, with a project manager assignment to Doug Guilbert. Written questions or clarifications must be submitted by 4 p.m. on March 19, 2026, with responses issued by March 23, 2026. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible firm on a lump sum basis, and firms must bid on all line items to be considered responsive.

The total budget for the initial one-year term is $25,000, with the same amount anticipated for each option year. The purchase requisition is not grant-funded and does not require departmental warehouse involvement. The contract award is contingent upon the successful firm's compliance with all applicable Equal Employment Opportunity Laws and Regulations, as well as certification that the firm is not subject to any Ukraine/Russia-related economic sanctions imposed by the State of California or the United States Government. By submitting a quote, all firms agree to the terms and conditions outlined in Exhibit C, the Orange County Transportation Authority General Provisions, and acknowledge that award may be made without further discussion.
