6-1.2 SHE132986 Specifications.pdf

This is a specifications document for Salt Lake County's Solid Waste Management division related to a request for bids on hauling municipal solid waste from the Transfer Station to the Landfill. The contract requires the successful bidder to provide hauling services Monday through Friday, excluding New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day, with occasional Saturday service including the Saturdays following major holidays and during snow days as needed. Operations must accommodate loading at 7:00 AM at the Transfer Station (located at 3300 S 502 W, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101) with a final delivery cutoff of 6:00 PM at the Landfill, while Saturday hours typically run from 7:00 AM to early afternoon. The bidder must ensure the Transfer Station floor is completely cleared of waste daily and maintain the flexibility to accommodate volume fluctuations. A mandatory site visit and pre-bid meeting will be held at the Transfer Station Conference Room at a time specified in the Bonfire portal, with attendance strongly recommended though not officially required; bidders who do not attend do so at their own risk.

Walking floor trailers are the required equipment method for this contract, and truck/trailer combinations must be equipped with onboard scales to ensure proper loading at the Transfer Station tunnel and must fit the unique dimensions of the Transfer Station tunnel and loading area. Accurate weights for billing purposes will be determined using the Transfer Station outbound scale or a scale at the Landfill. The bidder must demonstrate sufficient personnel and equipment resources to execute all hauling requirements each business day and should thoroughly familiarize themselves with all bid documents and specifications prior to the pre-bid meeting.
