2019-08 Waste & Recycling Hauling Services for Dunn County Collection Stations

Dunn County, Wisconsin, is seeking a qualified and experienced firm to provide comprehensive waste and recycling hauling services for its Solid Waste and Recycling Division through Invitation for Bid (IFB) #2019-08. The procurement covers municipal solid waste and recyclables hauling across multiple collection stations, including compactor receiver boxes, construction and demolition (C&D) boxes, and recyclables at eight area collection sites: Boyceville, Colfax, Connorsville, Downsville, Elk Mound, Ridgeland, Rock Creek, and Sand Creek. The contract term is structured for an initial five-year period with five additional one-year renewal options, potentially extending to a total of ten years. Commercial hauling operations must occur outside of public operating hours, with specific inbound and outbound hauling times at the Transfer Station and Recycling Center, ranging from 5:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on weekdays, with extended hours on Wednesday and Saturday morning operations. The bid was posted on November 13, 2019, with proposals due by December 2, 2019, and requires bidders to submit pricing using both per-switch and per-ton rate structures.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. While no incumbent vendor information is provided, the county requires that all municipal solid waste hauling trailers be removed from the transfer station pit area at the end of each business day, with potential flexibility for trailer movement. The contract appears to accommodate potential integration with existing county infrastructure, particularly at the Transfer Station and Recycling Center. Bidders must provide comprehensive hauling services across multiple collection sites with varying operational hours, including 24/7 unmanned recyclables-only service at some locations. Although specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation, the comprehensive nature of the services and the multi-year contract structure suggests a significant procurement opportunity for waste management and transportation services in Dunn County.
