On-Site Shredding Services

Greenville County Procurement Services is seeking proposals for RFP #23099 to provide comprehensive on-site shredding services across various county locations. The solicitation covers document destruction services including weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and quarterly console shredding for bins ranging from 24 to 96 gallons, as well as document purges and destruction of electronic media like hard drives, backup tapes, and computer parts. Vendors must demonstrate at least five years of experience in secure paper shredding, possess National Association for Information Destruction AAA Certification, and have technical expertise in secure document destruction. The RFP requires on-site shredding with a Certificate of Destruction, with vendors responsible for providing personnel and properly marked vehicles while complying with safety and security regulations. Key dates include a proposal submission deadline of March 13, 2023, at 3:00 pm, a tentative award date of March 23, 2023, contract negotiations from March 27 to April 10, 2023, and a planned Notice to Proceed on April 10, 2023.

The procurement does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must submit comprehensive pricing proposals with unit costs for various service frequencies, including per-pound rates for document purging. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the contract allows for flexibility in service locations, with the county reserving the right to add or remove locations as needed. The RFP includes detailed pricing tables and requires vendors to provide comprehensive rates for different shredding service frequencies and bin sizes. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the Sample Services Agreement indicates the county will pay a total sum not to exceed a predetermined amount, with potential for up to four annual contract renewals. Insurance requirements are substantial, including $1,000,000 in comprehensive general liability and automobile liability coverage, along with statutory worker's compensation, suggesting the county expects a robust and professional service provider.
