Contr. for Waste Disposal at NSU Ft. Johnson, Leesville, & Cenla

Northwestern State University's Purchasing Office has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for waste disposal services across multiple campus locations in Louisiana. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide solid waste disposal services for three specific sites: NSU Ft. Johnson Center in Leesville and two locations at NSU Cenla Campus at England Airpark in Alexandria. The contract will cover a period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with services including the provision of locked waste containers (one 3-yard container for two locations and one 4-yard container for the third location) and twice-weekly pickup throughout the contract period. Vendors are required to submit unit pricing for monthly service rates, with annual costs calculated by multiplying monthly rates by 12 months. The bid submission deadline is Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025, at 2:00 P.M. Central Standard Time, with bids to be submitted via mail, email, or in person to the university's purchasing office. Interested vendors can contact Dale Wohletz at 318-471-1336 or wohletz@nsula.edu for site visits or questions. The university reserves the option to renew the contract for two additional 12-month periods, with a total contract duration not to exceed 36 months, and maintains the right to cancel with 30 days written notice.

The solicitation includes standard state procurement requirements such as insurance provisions, non-discrimination clauses, and compliance with Louisiana state laws. Funding for the contract is contingent on appropriation by the Louisiana Legislature, and all contracts will be paid with new fiscal year funds. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondents are explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears to be open to qualified waste disposal service providers. The contract covers jurisdictions in Ouachita Parish and New Orleans City, though the specific service locations are in Leesville and Alexandria. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements. The exact budget range or potential award value is not specified in the available documentation, with pricing to be determined through the competitive bidding process. Vendors will be expected to provide comprehensive waste disposal services that meet the university's operational needs across the specified campus locations.
