11010 Smith Rock Portable Toilet Rentals

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB No. 11010) for portable toilet rental and servicing at Smith Rock State Park, located in Deschutes County. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide and maintain 3 ADA-compliant and 4 standard self-contained portable toilets at specified park locations, with service requirements including twice-weekly pumping, cleaning, and restocking. The contract term is anticipated to run from April 1, 2024, through November 30, 2024, with potential extension through December 31, 2027. Bid submissions are due by March 12, 2024, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time, with evaluation criteria focusing on price, contractor experience, expertise, and overall responsibility. OPRD will award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, considering factors such as pricing completeness, compliance with bid requirements, and demonstrated capability to meet service specifications. Bidders must provide references and meet specific responsibility criteria related to financial resources, performance history, and legal standing.

The ITB does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The bid documents indicate that OPRD may apply preferences for goods manufactured in Oregon or from recycled materials. Based on the bid tabulation, two vendors submitted proposals: Superior Sanitation from Redmond, Oregon, and Austin Logistics, with Superior Sanitation presenting the lowest bid at $325.00 compared to Austin Logistics' $1,200.00. While the sample contract indicates a maximum compensation of $0.00, the actual budget appears to be determined by the winning bid's pricing structure. The procurement requires the selected contractor to maintain appropriate insurance and comply with Oregon tax laws and applicable federal and state regulations. The contract will be structured as an independent contractor arrangement, with invoices paid only for completed and accepted deliverables and services.
