Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (MGCCC) is seeking sealed proposals for solid waste disposal services across six campus locations, including Perkinston Campus, Harrison County Campus, Advanced Manufacturing and Technology Center, George County Center, West Harrison Center, and Tradition Center. The Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits a vendor to provide comprehensive waste removal and disposal services beginning November 1, 2025, with an initial one-year contract and potential for four additional one-year renewal terms. Proposals are due by 2:00 pm on October 15, 2025, and can be submitted physically or electronically via Central Bidding. The procurement requires vendors to furnish and maintain containers, provide 24-hour response time for additional pickups, and ensure uninterrupted service. Specific container requirements include varying quantities and sizes of 4-yard, 6-yard, and 8-yard containers, with pickup frequencies ranging from one to two times per week. Bidders must submit pricing for the initial contract period and two optional renewal years, along with rates for additional services. Evaluation criteria will focus on the five-year cost of service or first-year cost, whichever is most advantageous to the college.

The RFP does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must provide a copy of their landfill permit and demonstrate $1,000,000 in liability insurance, along with submitting references from similar service contracts. The college reserves the right to award the contract on a location-by-location basis or to a single vendor, which suggests flexibility in vendor selection. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the service across six campus locations implies a substantial contract value. The procurement covers waste disposal services for multiple campus environments, indicating a potentially significant annual expenditure. Vendors will be expected to provide comprehensive waste management solutions that meet the college's operational needs across different campus settings, with the potential for a multi-year contractual relationship.
