1. 5 Cubic Yard Rear-Load Dumpsters

The City of Cheyenne Sanitation Division is procuring 120 complete 1.5 cubic yard rear-load dumpster containers along with one replacement parts set through an Invitation to Bid process posted on February 25, 2026. The replacement parts set includes 20 replacement casters, 20 full-length solid round rods, 20 lids, and 5 gallons of Forest Green enamel paint. The dumpsters must meet detailed specifications including 14-gauge steel construction for the front, bottom, and rear with full weld seams for water tightness, a 36-inch internal height, 45-inch ground-to-top trunnion bar height, interchangeable high molecular polyethylene covers rated for sub-freezing temperatures, and medium heavy-duty six-inch diameter casters with 500-pound working capacity. All containers must be delivered F.O.B. to the City Landfill at 1461 Happy Jack Road, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82009 by mid-June 2026. The question submission deadline is March 9, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., and sealed bids must be submitted electronically through the City's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/cheyennecity by March 17, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Bid opening will occur March 17, 2026 via Zoom, with City Council referral on March 23, 2026, Finance Committee review on April 7, 2026, and final City Council approval on April 13, 2026, with an estimated purchase order issuance date of April 15, 2026. Bidders must provide pricing on a per-unit basis for dumpster containers and a lot price for the replacement parts set, and a bid guarantee equal to 5 percent of the total bid amount is required in the form of a bid bond or certified/cashier's check. New vendors without prior supply history to the City may be required to deliver a sample container within 21 days for inspection before bid award at no cost to the municipality, and all vendors must supply Forest Green enamel paint with one prime coat and two enamel coats and provide a one-year warranty covering caster replacement at no cost for failures in normal service.

Award will be made to the qualified, responsible Wyoming resident bidder submitting the lowest responsive bid, with Wyoming resident bidders receiving a 5 percent preference over non-resident bidders unless federal funds are involved. The City of Cheyenne is a tax-exempt political subdivision of Wyoming and reserves the right to reject any or all bids, adjust quantities based on budget availability, and evaluate deviations from specifications. Liquidated damages of 0.10 percent of the per-item price per calendar day or $30.00 per item per calendar day, whichever is greater, will apply to late deliveries that are not deemed unavoidable. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. The specific award value or budget range is not disclosed in the available documentation; however, the procurement can be estimated based on the quantities of 120 dumpster containers plus one replacement parts set to be delivered. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of any issued addenda through the eProcurement Portal, or their bids will be considered incomplete and rejected.
