Anderson county maint- dumpster rental

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has issued a solicitation for dumpster rental and trash removal services at the Anderson Maintenance facility located at 4740 Liberty Highway in Anderson, SC. The procurement specifically requires a 40 cubic yard container rental with removal and replacement services, along with per-ton refuse disposal for various types of debris including household waste, tires, mattresses, and highway materials. Contractors must respond to container removal and replacement requests within 24 hours of notification, with service availability between 7:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding state holidays. The solicitation opened for bids on July 27, 2021, with a bid submission deadline of August 11, 2021 at 2:30 p.m., and questions were required to be submitted by August 4, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with the initial contract term spanning five years from August 13, 2021 to August 12, 2026. Evaluation criteria include compliance with insurance requirements, which mandate Commercial General Liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, Auto Liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per accident, and Worker's Compensation insurance with statutory limits.

Offerors may qualify for South Carolina Resident Contractor, Resident Subcontractor (2% or 4%), or Resident Vendor preferences if they meet statutory requirements. Bidders must possess a state vendor number and comply with applicable South Carolina procurement laws and regulations. The estimated annual disposal volume is approximately 200 tons, with pricing structured around three components: per-haul rates for container removal and replacement (estimated 24 hauls per year), monthly rental rates for the 40 cubic yard container, and per-ton disposal rates. Contractors are required to clean and treat the container with insecticide every three months. Bid submissions can be completed online through the South Carolina Enterprise Information System (SCEIS) or via sealed hard copy mail. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified vendors who can meet the technical and insurance requirements. The total contract value is not definitively stated, but the five-year term and estimated disposal volume suggest a substantial multi-year service contract.
