C25915002 - Refuse Hauling and Disposal Services

The California Department of Parks and Recreation, Angeles District, is seeking qualified contractors to provide comprehensive refuse hauling and disposal services for three state park locations: Malibu Creek State Park, Tapia State Park, and Los Encinos State Historic Park. The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for contract C25915002, covering a two-year service period from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2027, with a potential one-year extension option. The contractor will be responsible for collecting, transporting, and disposing of refuse using 3 cubic yard and 40 cubic yard containers, with services to be performed Monday through Friday, including state and federal holidays. Key deliverables include weekly refuse collection, recycling services, and compliance with state waste diversion and organic waste collection mandates. Contractors must hold all necessary permits for refuse handling in Los Angeles County and provide detailed documentation, including proof of business licensing and $1,000,000 combined single limit liability insurance. The bid submission deadline is October 31, 2025, at 2:00 PM PST, with questions to be submitted to AngelesContracts@park.ca.gov by October 22, 2025.

While the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation requirement has been waived, incentives for DVBE involvement remain available. The solicitation includes a small business preference, offering a potential 5% preference for certified small businesses or those subcontracting 25% of work to certified small business subcontractors. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation, including bid forms, certification clauses, and compliance documents. The state does not guarantee minimum service usage, and payment will be made monthly in arrears based on actual services rendered. No specific incumbent vendor is mentioned, and the contract appears to be open to qualified contractors capable of meeting the technical and regulatory requirements. Although a precise award value is not explicitly stated, the contract covers multiple service periods across three state park locations with varying pickup frequencies. The bid forms include line items for different container sizes and service frequencies, suggesting flexibility in service delivery and potential variability in total contract value.
