This is a bid award document for recycling collection services issued by the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, covering multiple state agencies and facilities across Rockingham County and additional jurisdictions. The procurement encompasses comprehensive recycling services including single stream recycling and cardboard-only collection for various container sizes ranging from 2 to 10 yard and 40 yard containers at 134 total locations. Services include collection of mixed paper, office paper, boxboard, aluminum, tin, foil, plastic containers, corrugated cardboard, and glass containers with pickup frequencies varying from will-call (6 times per year) to twice weekly (104 times per year). The original bid was due January 21, 2025, at 10:30 AM Eastern Time, with contract awards determined based on lowest cost per location. The contract term runs from May 1, 2025, through April 30, 2028, with potential two-year extension options available.

Evaluation criteria weighted pricing into two sections: Section A for small containers (80% pickup price, 20% contamination fee) and Section B for large containers (80% annual pickups and monthly rentals, 20% contamination fee). Vendors must maintain comprehensive general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, along with workers' compensation insurance. Background checks are required for all on-site employees. The contract is non-exclusive, permitting the state to retain additional contractors as needed. Political subdivisions and nonprofit agencies under section 501(c) are eligible to participate at their discretion. Vendors are not required to bid on all locations to be considered compliant, and the state reserves the right to select either single stream or cardboard-only service for each location to optimize cost management and service delivery.
