Summary of BID 6575 Addendum 1

This is an addendum to a Request for Quotation issued by the Town of Trumbull, Connecticut and the Trumbull Board of Education for municipal solid waste and recycling services at Town and school facilities. The original bid deadline of June 11, 2026 at 2:00 PM has been changed to Monday, June 22, 2026 at 2:00 PM. The solicitation requires bidders to provide twice-weekly pickups (Tuesday and Friday preferred) at seven Town locations including Town Hall, Police Station, EMS Building, Senior Center, and Main Library, as well as once-weekly pickups at four additional facilities, combined with collection services at thirteen Board of Education school buildings with varying frequencies based on school calendar schedules. Bidders must submit one original and two exact copies plus one thumb drive copy of their proposals. Mandatory site inspections are required prior to bid submission. The contract term is three years, from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029, with an optional two-year renewal period at mutually agreed pricing. The vendor question and answer period runs from May 21, 2026 at 2:30 PM EDT through June 3, 2026 at 5:00 PM EDT. Addendum 2 will be issued the following week with specification changes.

Bidders must provide separate monthly pricing for Town locations by location and annual pricing for Board of Education services, with the option to bid combined refuse and recycling services or separate municipal solid waste and recycling services. Pricing must be quoted as firm fixed prices for the entire three-year contract period and remain firm for ninety days following bid opening. All prices are tax-exempt and must exclude sales tax. Contractors must provide certificates of insurance naming the Town as additional insured with minimum coverage of $1,000,000 general liability per occurrence and $500,000 property damage, submit at least four references for similar services within the past five years, identify all proposed subcontractors, and provide proof of necessary federal, state, and local permits. Contractors will be exempt from tipping fees at the Town Transfer Station for municipal solid waste disposal. Performance standards include $100 penalties per incident for missed pickups, which are deducted from monthly invoices, with repeated failures potentially triggering contract termination. The estimated total contract value is not disclosed.
