Household Hazardous Waste - 2025-2027

Muskegon County is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) program services from 2025-2027, with specific requirements for waste collection, handling, and disposal. The procurement involves bi-monthly collections at a safety storage building and two semi-annual Saturday collection events in April and October. The selected vendor must provide technicians capable of unloading, sorting, packing, identifying, and transporting hazardous waste materials, including supplying necessary staff, containers, and packing materials. Contractors are required to handle unknown materials, provide detailed pricing for labor rates, transportation, and disposal/recycling costs for various waste types, and demonstrate expertise in waste management. The bid deadline is January 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST, with a Zoom link provided for bid opening. Evaluation criteria will likely include pricing, technical capabilities, staff qualifications, waste handling protocols, and references. The contract will run through December 31, 2027, with the county reserving the right to modify contract scope and allow municipal "piggybacking".

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Potential bidders must provide comprehensive documentation, including a completed W-9 form, proof of insurance coverage, and detailed information about their Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDF's). While no incumbent vendor is identified, the contract appears designed to accommodate multiple waste categories, including acids, aerosol cans, batteries, flammable liquids, and other household hazardous materials. The bid sheet includes 33 distinct waste categories with unit pricing options, suggesting flexibility in pricing and service delivery. Although specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the contract and the requirement to cover all associated costs—including materials, transportation, labor, and disposal—indicates a potentially significant contract value. Interested vendors should carefully review the bid documentation, particularly the detailed bid sheet that provides a comprehensive cost schedule for various hazardous waste materials.
