DRUM WASTE DISPOSAL

The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) is seeking proposals through Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 008-2025 for drum waste disposal services across multiple county locations including Milford, Davisburg, Lake Orion, Waterford, Southfield, and Troy. The procurement involves the removal and disposal of 70 drums containing various residual materials such as hydraulic fluids, transmission fluids, oil, degreasers, and some gasoline-related substances in 55-gallon and 320-gallon containers. Bidders must provide per-drum pricing for pickup and disposal, with all associated costs included in the proposal. The RFP requires contractors to handle RCRA empty drums intended for recycling or disposal, with no requirement to return drums to RCOC. Proposals are due on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time and must be submitted through the BidNet/MITN website. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specifications, with RCOC reserving the right to reject any or all proposals.

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must demonstrate comprehensive insurance coverage, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and the ability to meet MIOSHA standards. The contract's funding is contingent on annual budget appropriations, and RCOC is a tax-exempt entity. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documentation, the scope involves disposing of 70 drums across multiple county facilities. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the current documentation. Potential contractors will need to provide evidence of proper waste disposal capabilities, environmental compliance, and the technical capacity to handle various types of industrial and mechanical fluid waste. The proposal evaluation will focus on pricing, compliance with specifications, and the contractor's ability to safely and efficiently remove and dispose of the specified drums.
