C1654001 Ocotillo Wells Refuse - Version 2

The California Department of Parks and Recreation, specifically the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area (SVRA) located in San Diego County, is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive refuse and recycling collection services under Contract #C1654001. The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bids (IFB) with a submission deadline of May 31, 2016 at 5:00 PM, covering a contract period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2019. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to provide all necessary labor, materials, tools, and equipment to collect and haul refuse from multiple locations within the Ocotillo Wells District, including District Compound, Toner Compound, Ranger Station Road, Holmes Camp, Main Street, Pole Line, Cross Over, Hidden Valley, and Holly Road. Service requirements include weekly trash and recycling collection using various container sizes (3-yard and 6-yard), as well as on-call 30-yard roll-off container services, with all collection activities restricted to hours between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Key objectives include maintaining a 50% waste diversion rate through recycling and submitting annual statistical reports by March 1, with the contractor responsible for providing containers at no additional charge and maintaining comprehensive liability and automobile insurance with $1 million combined single limit coverage.

Small businesses and microbusinesses receive a significant advantage in this procurement, with a 5% bid preference available for certified small businesses or those subcontracting at least 25% to certified small/micro businesses, with preference not to exceed $50,000 per bid. No incumbent vendor is specifically identified in the procurement documents. The contract does not appear to have explicit set-aside designations beyond the small business preference, and any qualified waste management or refuse collection firm can potentially submit a bid. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the services and the multi-location collection requirements suggest a substantial contract value. Bidders must complete several mandatory forms, including the Refuse Disposal Service Contract Bid Form (DPR 326B), Small Business Preference Form, Darfur Certification (DPR 74), Payee Data Record (STD 204), and Contractor Certification Clauses (CCC-307). The procurement emphasizes detailed pricing for each service location, with container quantities ranging from 4 to 156 containers, indicating a complex and nuanced evaluation process focused on comprehensive service capabilities and competitive pricing.
