About this file
Addendum #2 for ITB MH 1075 is a document from the City of Madison Heights, Michigan, addressing various questions submitted regarding a Solid Waste Collection and Disposal contract opportunity. The addendum clarifies multiple aspects of the bid, including insurance requirements, bid and performance bond specifications, pricing submissions, and service details. Key clarifications include confirming a $25,000 bid bond, specifying weekly unit pricing for services, and addressing potential variations in service offerings such as compost collection and trash cart rollout options.
The document reveals the city is seeking a comprehensive waste management contract that includes residential and commercial refuse collection, recycling, and compost services. Notable pricing and service specifications include a cart-plus program allowing residents to use containers up to 96 gallons, interest in alternate universal cart-only proposals, and requirements for specific services like a spring clean-up day involving five garbage trucks and crews. The city also requested additional pricing pages for multi-family unit services and seeks transparency in market rates, with the understanding that any extra pickup arrangements would be directly between the vendor and residents without city involvement.

ITB MH 1075 Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Addendum #2 – March 25, 2025
Various Questions Submitted
Q: Page 4, Section II C & D, Commercial General Liability and Contractor’s Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance – Regardless of the single occurrence, if the contractor has an umbrella greater than the stated limit ($3,000,000), would that be sufficient insurance coverage?
A: Yes, if your umbrella coverage is greater than the stated limit that would be acceptable.
Q: Owner’s and Contractor’s Protective Public Liability Insurance s– what insurance is this providing beyond the general liability policy? Our belief that the General Liability Coverage is the same the Protective Public Liability Insurance.
A: Public Liability covers 3rd party injuries. This would be for businesses working directly with the public whereas general liability are claims made by employees/visitors and provides a broader protection covering claims beyond property damage. This would be considered general liability insurance.
Q: Page 19, N. Bonds – The ITB states any bidder must submit a $25,000 bid bond, described as a check, which will be cashed and held during the bid process but also held for the term of the contract. There is also a requirement to provide a $1,000,000 performance bond throughout the term of the contract.
Typically, the Bid Bond is submitted as a bond or check (option of the bidder) then returned to the successful and unsuccessful bidders after the contract is awarded and executed. It is not held onto by the municipality.
Can a Bid Bond be submitted in place of a check?
A: N. Bonds – Bid Bond and Performance Bond: 1. Bid Bond: Please include a check to the City of Madison Heights in the amount of $25,000 with your bid. The City will cash the check and hold the money pending agreement with the successful bidder. Thereafter, but not more than 60 days after entering into a contract, the City will send a check in the amount of the bid bond back to all unsuccessful bidders.
Q: Page 20, Q. Contract – in this section, there is a bid bond amount not consistent with the section N.
Bid Bond amount. Can the city identify if the Bid Bond required for the submitted proposal by the company is $10,000 or the previously stated $25,000?
A: $25,000
Q: Page 21, Section V Pricing – Can the city clarify how the city wants the pricing for all of the pricing pages presented? For example, is the city asking for the per unit monthly price, per unit yearly price, or in another fashion?
A: As noted on the pricing page, please provide a weekly unit price for all services requested.
Q: Page 22 & 23, B1 & B2 – Can the contractor provide pricing for the seasonal collection of compost (middle of March through the first week of December) as a year-round price instead of the price for the 38-week period?
A: This would be acceptable, please clearly specify if you do so, as the pricing page denotes a weekly unit price.
Q: Page 26, E Apartment/Condominium/Restaurant/School Recycling – should there also be a form for Apartment/Condominium/Restaurant/School Trash? The current service has a separate price for multi-family units.
A: Yes, please provide a pricing page for this service.
Q: Page 38, Not Part of Bid Pricing Page – can the city provide greater detail as to what the city is requesting pricing for on this page?
A: This was discussed in the pre-bid meeting and is just for informational purposes to better understand current market rates. Any arrangement for extra pickup would be entirely between the prospective vendor and the resident with no City involvement.
Q: Pricing page was omitted for DPS Spring Clean-Up Day A: Please provide pricing for item IV-C, Commodity I, annually providing five garbage trucks and crews at the DPS facility for four hours (8:00 AM to 12:00 PM) on the Saturday before Mother’s Day.
Q: Is the intent with the trash cart rollout to be unlimited pickup?
A: The base bid specifies a cart-plus program; residents can utilize any container up to the 96-gallon cart, but usage is not mandatory. The City is interested in seeing alternate proposals for a universal cart-only program with weekly bulk pickup.
At this time, all other requests remain the same.
