FY27-store#182 garbage pickup

The State of Alabama Office of the Chief Procurement Officer is soliciting bids for garbage pickup services at Store #182 (8694 Cottage Hill Road, Mobile, Alabama) through a Quick Quote solicitation, with responses due September 30, 2026. The contract runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with a maximum cumulative contract value of $25,000 and maximum contract period of five years from the effective date.

The scope requires weekly pickup of a 4-yard container with lockbar, with provisions for additional pickup dates as needed. Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform. The State of Alabama is exempt from sales tax, and suppliers with one or more employees in the state must comply with E-Verify requirements.

Pricing will be evaluated on cost realism and price reasonableness at the sole discretion of the Chief Procurement Officer. Price increases during contract performance are permissible only when material, labor, or other contract components increase significantly through no fault of the supplier, and any approved increases cannot exceed 5 percent of annual contract cost. Suppliers must accept multiple forms of electronic payment at no additional cost to the State, including P-cards, EFT, and state-issued credit cards. The contract may be renewed annually by written agreement of both parties. The contract is governed by Alabama law with venue limited to Montgomery, and disputes shall be resolved through good faith negotiation or non-binding alternative dispute resolution including mediation.
