54-SH-05-PR18947 On-Call Litter-Debris Removal and Recycling Proposal Vance Warren 2025

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is seeking proposals for an on-call litter and debris removal and recycling contract covering Vance and Warren Counties in Division 5. The procurement solicits services for removing litter and debris from interstate, primary, and secondary roads and their interchanges, with a comprehensive scope that includes multiple road type classifications. Contractors must be pre-qualified as either a "Bidder" or "Purchase Order Contract Prime Contractor" and must have at least one NCDOT Certified Work Zone Supervisor. The proposal requires contractors to mobilize within seven days of notification and complete litter collection within fourteen days of initial request. The solicitation includes seven specific bid items structured around shoulder mile rates for different road types, with estimated quantities ranging from 100 shoulder miles for interstate and secondary divided highways to 1,000 shoulder miles for secondary undivided highways. Proposals are due on March 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with a proposed contract period from May 1, 2025, through April 30, 2026.

The contract allows for potential award to multiple contractors and includes a substantial annual budget limit of $5 million per year. There are provisions for two additional one-year contract renewals, with price adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the procurement documents, the contract appears open to qualified contractors meeting the technical and operational requirements. The solicitation covers approximately 25 isolated dump sites and 75 isolated bulk items, providing flexibility in service delivery. Contractors will be evaluated based on their ability to meet technical specifications, mobilization timelines, and comprehensive road maintenance capabilities. The multi-year maintenance contract suggests a strategic approach to ongoing litter and debris management in the specified North Carolina counties, with potential for continued service based on performance and mutual agreement.
