Commercial Garbage Pickup/ Disposal and Rental of Roll-Off Containers (HWY District 14) Austin

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is seeking a contractor to provide commercial garbage pickup, disposal, and rental of roll-off containers for Highway District 14, specifically serving Travis County and Austin City areas. The solicitation (No. 601320000066085) requires a vendor with at least three years of experience in waste management services, capable of providing 30 and 40 cubic yard roll-off/open top containers with flexible pickup frequencies ranging from daily to monthly. Vendors must supply qualified drivers, maintain container conditions, conduct background checks, and perform pickups between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. The initial contract term runs from contract execution through May 30, 2026, with potential three one-year renewal options. Key submission deadlines include a solicitation open date of April 15, 2025, vendor questions due by April 18, 2025, agency responses posted by April 22, 2025, and a final submission deadline of April 30, 2025, at 3:00 PM Central Time. The contract will use firm, fixed pricing with potential annual Consumer Price Index adjustments, and TxDOT will evaluate vendors based on their qualifications, personnel experience, references, and compliance with submission requirements.

The solicitation emphasizes Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) participation, with an annual procurement utilization goal of 26.0% for service contracts. Vendors must submit a comprehensive HUB Subcontracting Plan demonstrating good faith efforts to include minority-owned, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, or other disadvantaged business enterprises in their contracting approach. The contract is not exclusive, meaning TxDOT may obtain similar services from other sources, and no specific quantity guarantees are provided. While the total contract value appears to be structured around $10,000.00, actual spending will depend on TxDOT's operational requirements through blanket purchase order releases. The procurement offers an optional Early Payment Program that provides vendors with electronic invoice submissions and potential discounts for rapid payment processing. Vendors must complete multiple compliance documents, including a Texas Family Code Schedule, Certificate of Insurance, Vendor Qualifications Schedule, and Vendor Personnel Qualifications form. Non-compliance or incomplete submissions may result in disqualification, and TxDOT reserves the right to reject vendor personnel based on references or past performance.
