The South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism is requesting bids for refuse collection and disposal services at Devils Fork State Park in Salem, Richland County, with bids due November 11, 2026 at 2:00 PM and a non-mandatory pre-bid conference on November 5 at 11:00 AM via Microsoft Teams.

The scope requires furnishing and maintaining eleven 4-cubic-yard rolling dumpster containers, one 42-cubic-yard stationary compactor with three-phase electrical power and advance warning systems, and one 30-cubic-yard construction dumpster. The contractor must supply all labor, equipment, transportation, fuel, maintenance, and overhead; landfill tonnage fees are submitted separately. All equipment must be new and maintained in good operating condition throughout the contract period, with the contractor responsible for preventative maintenance, repairs, equipment replacement, site cleanliness, and emergency service responsiveness. The contractor must maintain all required insurance, licenses, and comply with federal, state, and local environmental regulations governing municipal solid waste transportation and disposal.

Pricing is itemized by equipment and service fees, per-pickup charges for compactor collections, and per-ton charges for landfill fees. Payment is made monthly based on actual services rendered. Historical data indicates approximately 18 compactor pickups and 4 construction dumpster pickups annually, with approximately 80 tons of municipal solid waste requiring disposal per year. These estimates are for evaluation purposes only and do not guarantee minimum work volumes.

The contract period runs for an initial one-year term beginning November 30, 2026, through November 28, 2031, plus four optional one-year renewal periods for a potential five-year term. Award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Questions must be received by November 6, 2026 at 3:00 PM. The award will be posted on November 17, 2026.
