Refuse collection mahe & foba

The National Park Service's Golden Gate National Recreation Area in Marin County, California has published a Notice of Intent to Award a sole source contract for refuse collection services to Bay Cities Refuse Service of Richmond, California. This is not a competitive solicitation but rather a notification of the agency's intent to award a firm fixed price contract using sole source procedures under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1. The contract covers refuse collection services for multiple park locations including Marin Headlands housing areas, Fort Baker, and various pier locations. The service encompasses weekly and on-call collection of trash, recycling, green waste, and compost using various container sizes ranging from 2-yard to 30-yard containers. The total contract value is $243,039.32 over a five-year period consisting of one base year and four option years.

The purpose of this notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intent to proceed with a sole source award while providing an opportunity for interested parties to demonstrate their capability to provide the required services competitively. Contractors have ten calendar days from the notice publication date until June 22, 2025 at 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time to respond and must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. The sole source justification is based on an existing franchise agreement with Marin County that restricts service providers, and market research confirmed no viable alternative suppliers exist. Any responses must be directed to the contracting officer Arco Cuetara-Higa via email, and the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on any responses received.
