The procurement involves loading, hauling, and disposing of refuse and recycling from four specific locations within the park: the park shop, walk-in campground, main campground, and a recycling container. The service requires 212 annual garbage container pickups and 14 recycling container pickups, with varying frequencies between peak (April through October) and off-peak seasons. Bidders must possess a valid Solid Waste Hauler License and comply with state waste management regulations, including proper disposal of mixed municipal solid waste in accordance with county master plans and state statutes. The bid solicitation requires unit prices to include all associated costs such as labor, materials, transportation, equipment, sales tax, and use tax. The procurement will be conducted electronically through the Swift Portal, with responses due by May 28, 2025, and the contract award going to the lowest responsible vendor meeting all specifications and terms.
The state has incorporated several diversity and inclusion provisions, potentially offering preferences for small businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, and individuals with disabilities. Vendors must be registered in the Swift Portal system and can seek assistance from the Contractor Assistance Help Desk if needed. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive service requirements suggest a moderate-value contract covering multiple service locations and seasonal variations. The DNR reserves the right to award items separately or by grouping, maximizing flexibility in the procurement process. Bidders will be required to provide proof of insurance and demonstrate compliance with all specified terms and conditions. The solicitation emphasizes a competitive bidding process that balances cost-effectiveness with service quality and regulatory compliance. No incumbent vendor information was provided in the available documentation, indicating this may be a new or rebid service contract for Blue Mounds State Park.
