IFB 24-24810 Class 2 Solid Waste Collections - County Locations

Botetourt County, Virginia is soliciting sealed bids through Invitation for Bid (IFB) 24-24810 for Class 2 Solid Waste Collections at various county locations. The procurement seeks franchise haulers to furnish and service trash containers at 12 different sites, including libraries, parks, athletic fields, and administrative buildings. Specific requirements include providing containers of varying sizes and implementing a precise collection schedule, with bidders required to submit pricing for furnishing, maintaining, and servicing trash containers and compactors at each designated site. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with a primary contract term of one year and four potential one-year renewal options. Bids are due by November 18, 2024, with the selected provider mandated to have all containers installed and operational by January 1, 2025. Evaluation criteria will focus on the overall lowest total monthly cost, and bidders must demonstrate compliance with licensing, insurance, and procurement requirements. The county expects contractors to meet or exceed the specified service specifications and provide comprehensive waste collection services across multiple county facilities.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The IFB does not indicate preferences for minority-owned, small, or local businesses. While the current solid waste collection services are being provided by existing franchise haulers, no specific incumbent vendor was identified. The procurement appears to be open to qualified Class 2 franchise haulers capable of meeting the county's waste collection requirements. Although exact budget ranges were not specified, bidders will be required to provide detailed monthly pricing for each location, with the total monthly cost serving as a key evaluation metric. The contract's value will be determined by the submitted bids, but it encompasses waste collection services for 12 county sites with varying container sizes and collection frequencies. Interested bidders must carefully review the full IFB package and ensure they can meet all technical specifications and contractual obligations outlined in the procurement documents.
