Portable Toilet Rental at Belle Isle State Park

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is requesting proposals for portable toilet rental and maintenance services at Belle Isle State Park under RFP 260000002242, with proposals due July 8, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern and questions due July 29, 2026.

The scope encompasses three service categories: handicap-accessible portable toilet units, portable washing and hand sanitizing units, and cleaning, sanitizing, and stocking services for all portable facilities. Services are required seasonally from May 1 through September 30 annually, with cleaning and sanitization twice weekly (preferably Monday and Friday). Collection and delivery occur on an as-needed basis. All-inclusive pricing must incorporate one-time setup charges, per-unit fees, collection fees, monthly service fees, and ancillary costs such as shipping and handling. Bidders may offer quick payment discounts, specified as a percentage off invoices paid within a stated number of days.

The contract term is three years. Bidders submit one-year pricing that the State will multiply by three to calculate total contract value. Contracts valued at $250,000 or more require State Administrative Board approval, suggesting the estimated value may reach or exceed that threshold, though the source does not specify a budget range.

Evaluation is Pass/Fail using criteria outlined in Schedule A (Sections 3-22) and the Vendor Questions Worksheet. The award goes to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the best value, considering evaluation factors and pricing combined. The State reserves the right to conduct on-site visits, request oral presentations, interviews, and reference checks, and issue clarification or deficiency notices.

Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Michigan SIGMA VSS website in modifiable native formats, with pricing as a separate file. All documents become public records immediately upon receipt; bidders may request confidential treatment for trade secrets and proprietary information using the Confidential Treatment Form. The Solicitation Manager is Patricia Graves, (517) 927-2272, Gravesp2@michigan.gov.
