IFB #773 - Accomack County Waste Tire Transporting

Accomack County, Virginia is requesting sealed bids for waste tire transportation services under IFB #773, with bids due June 22, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. The County seeks qualified transporters to haul car, truck, and off-road tires collected at two locations: the Northern Landfill at 9400 Cutler Lane in Atlantic and the Southern Transfer Station at 16640 Hollies Church Road in Melfa.

Bidders must provide one open-top semi-trailer at each location with swap-out service within three business days when requested. Addendum #1 (May 28, 2026) clarifies that roll-off container systems with equivalent hauling capacity and continuous swap capability are acceptable alternatives to open-top semi-trailers, provided containers can be loaded by excavator and maintain similar volume through more frequent exchanges. Bidders may transport and process tires directly or transfer them to licensed third-party transporters or processors.

Pricing is quoted on a per-ton basis for each location, with the initial term's per-ton price locked and non-escalating. Renewal options (up to four additional one-year terms if both parties agree) may include price increases subject to County approval: the first renewal is capped at 5 percent of the original price, subsequent renewals at 2.5 percent, and the final term at 10 percent of the original price. The County reserves the right to award to multiple bidders.

Bidders must submit a Bid Bond equal to 5 percent of the bid amount and proof of authority to transact business in Virginia under Virginia Code Section 2.2-4311.2. Contractors must maintain Commercial General Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and Automotive Liability insurance of $1,000,000 combined single limit, with the County named as an additional insured. The contract is subject to nondiscrimination, drug-free workplace, and federal immigration law compliance requirements.
