Box Elder School District- Garbage Disposal / Waste Removal Services Resolicitation

Box Elder School District is requesting proposals for garbage disposal and waste removal services across 24 school district locations in Utah, with vendors permitted to bid on North-End schools, South-End schools, or the entire district. The procurement encompasses regular weekly pick-ups during the school year, reduced pick-up schedules during summer months, biweekly service at one location, and on-call service at another location, with services to commence on July 1, 2026, under a three-year contract with an optional two-year extension. Offerors must meet mandatory minimum requirements including holding a current Utah state license, servicing all specified locations, providing reduced summer pick-up schedules, timely service of missed holiday pick-ups, and flexibility to adjust services to meet changing district needs. The evaluation process consists of two phases: technical proposals worth 80 points based on contractor experience (20 points), schedule capability (20 points), letters of recommendation (20 points), and ability to optimize pick-ups and reduce costs (20 points), with a minimum threshold score of 56 points required to advance to cost evaluation; cost proposals are submitted separately and worth 20 points, with the lowest cost proposal receiving full points and all others scored comparatively. All submissions require five hard copies directed to Corey Thompson at Box Elder School District, 960 South Main Street, Brigham City, Utah 84302, with proposals due by 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17, 2026; questions must be submitted in writing via email to corey.thompson@besd.net by 2:00 p.m. on March 11, 2026; and interviews, if required, will be held on March 27, 2026.

The procurement documents do not identify specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular enterprise categories. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. The contractor must maintain workers' compensation insurance, commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate, and commercial automobile liability insurance for vehicles used in service delivery. The solicitation does not establish a published budget range or award value; instead, vendors must complete the cost sheet attachment specifying list prices and percentage discounts for services, with all pricing information becoming contractual for the three-year term. The district reserves the right to award the contract to a single responsive and responsible offeror or split the award between north and south end providers based on best value to the district, and retains the right to reject any or all submittals.
