FY27 - Cardboard Recycling

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) is soliciting quotes for cardboard recycling services at its Montgomery headquarters, 1400 Coliseum Boulevard, for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027), with quotes due September 16, 2026.

The scope consists of two 6-yard containers serviced once weekly for cardboard recycling throughout the contract term. All responses must be submitted electronically through Alabama Buys; suppliers must be registered in the system prior to submission.

The maximum total contract cost, including the original agreement and any subsequent renewals, is $25,000 over a maximum contract period of five years. The contract may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties.

ADEM is exempt from sales tax and will furnish an exemption letter upon request. Suppliers must accept multiple forms of electronic payment at no additional cost to the State, including state-issued credit cards, P-cards, and EFT. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analysis at the sole discretion of the Chief Procurement Officer. If during contract performance the cost of materials or labor significantly increases through no fault of the supplier, a price increase request may be considered, provided the increase does not exceed the percentage increase in industry-specific price indices or the Consumer Price Index during the same time period and does not exceed 5 percent of the annual contract cost; all price increases must be approved in writing by both parties.

Foreign entities must register with the Alabama Secretary of State before transacting business in the state. Suppliers who employ one or more employees within Alabama must verify E-Verify enrollment prior to award, with documentation required within five calendar days of notification or the bid will be rejected. Contracts are governed by Alabama law with sole venue in Montgomery.
