The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Division 5 is soliciting proposals for an on-call litter and debris removal and recycling contract covering Durham, Person, and Granville Counties. The procurement specifically targets removal and recycling services for interstate, primary, and secondary roads, with work to be performed upon request. Contractors must be pre-qualified as either a "Bidder" or "Purchase Order Contract (POC) Prime Contractor" and must have at least one NCDOT Certified Work Zone Supervisor. The contract includes seven line items covering different road types and site classifications, with estimated quantities ranging from 25 to 1,000 shoulder miles. Proposals are due March 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with an anticipated contract start date of May 1, 2025, and an initial contract period running through April 30, 2026. Contractors must mobilize within seven days of notification and complete assigned work within fourteen days of notification. The successful vendor will be expected to remove litter and debris from various road types and isolated dump sites, with specific performance requirements and unit pricing for different road classifications.

The contract carries a 0% Combined MBE/WBE goal, indicating no specific set-aside requirements for disadvantaged business enterprises. The maximum contract value is capped at $5,000,000 per year, with provisions for two additional one-year renewals, potentially extending the total contract term to three years. Pricing adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index are permitted for renewal periods, providing some flexibility in long-term pricing. The procurement allows for unit price-based awards, meaning compensation will be determined by the actual volume of work completed across the specified road types and site classifications. Contractors should be prepared to provide comprehensive litter and debris removal services across multiple road systems, demonstrating capability to manage large-scale environmental maintenance tasks in a multi-county service area. The contract's structure suggests a need for flexible, responsive service providers with the capacity to quickly address litter and debris removal needs across different road types and jurisdictions.
