C1533008 Refuse and Recycling Disposal Services

The state and local contract opportunity is for refuse and recycling disposal services for State Parks located within western Sonoma County, California. The California Department of Parks and Recreation is seeking a contractor to provide labor, tools, and equipment to haul and dispose of refuse and recyclable materials from various state park properties within the Sonoma Mendocino Coast District for a 24-month term. The scope of work includes daily refuse and recyclable material collection, transportation, and disposal, with a minimum 50% waste diversion rate required through recycling programs. The contract may be amended to reflect any changes in disposal fees or taxes imposed by local authorities, and either party can cancel the contract with 15 days' notice if mutually agreed pricing changes are unacceptable. The bid submission deadline is February 9, 2016, and a mandatory pre-bid conference is required.

The contract does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current contract is held by ABC Waste Management, and the City has budgeted $2.5 million annually for these services, funded through the General Fund. The sample state agreement provided indicates that the pricing terms will be detailed in a budget attachment, which will include unit costs per container serviced and allowances for additional containers or pickups as needed.
