This is an Amendment One to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Kansas Department of Administration's Office of Procurement and Contracts on behalf of Larned Correctional Facility (LCF). The amendment extends the bid closing date to June 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM CST, with Procurement Officer Lara J Williams serving as the primary contact. The original solicitation seeks competitive bids for 52 portable toilet units to be delivered to LCF at 1318 KS Highway 264, Larned, Kansas 67550, with delivery required by June 21, 2026, and operational status by July 1, 2026. The contract includes weekly waste removal and cleaning/sanitation services for an initial twelve-month term (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), with three optional one-year renewal periods available. Bidders must be registered with the Kansas Bidder Registration system and possess a minimum of five years of continuous active participation in the portable toilet services industry, along with three professional references from the past five years. All personnel must pass background checks and provide photo identification at each facility access.

Pricing must include separate weekly rates for porta potty rental, waste removal, and cleaning and sanitation services, with all costs being all-inclusive of time and travel under Net 30 payment terms. Electronic payment via EFT is mandatory unless a hardship exception is approved, and the State accepts Procurement Card (P-Card) payment. All bidders must submit a current Tax Clearance Certificate from the Kansas Department of Revenue and certifications regarding Immigration Reform and Control Act compliance, sexual harassment policy acknowledgment, Israel boycott certification, and telecommunications equipment certification. The State of Kansas offers Kansas Bidder Preference to eligible vendors, including Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses or Certified Business classifications, provided applicable documentation is submitted. No monetary bid guarantee is required, and no incumbent vendor or estimated contract award value is identified in the solicitation documents. Portable toilet units must be standard-size (48W x 48D) with door locks disabled, and contractors are responsible for maintaining and repairing units at no cost to the facility unless damage is caused by LCF staff; unserviceable units must be replaced within twenty-four hours if repair cannot be completed within that timeframe.
