Q25000042 Refuse Collection Services - Oahu Libraries

The state of Hawaii, specifically the Hawaii State Public Library System (HSPLS), is seeking a refuse collection and disposal services contractor for library locations on the island of Oahu, covering jurisdictions including Honolulu County and Halawa CDP. The contract, identified as Q25000042, will run for 12 months from August 1, 2024, to July 31, 2025, with the potential for four additional 12-month renewals. The selected vendor will be responsible for collecting and disposing of refuse from designated library locations, which includes providing and maintaining appropriate containers, following specific collection schedules, and maintaining container cleanliness and appearance. Contractors must possess an active City and County of Honolulu Refuse Collection License and submit detailed bid information, including the percentage of the bid price representing labor costs. The proposal submission deadline is July 26, 2024, and potential offerors may inspect locations before submitting an offer, though this is not mandatory. The contract administrator is Ms. Mallory C. Fujitani, and all compliance documents must be submitted through Hawaii Compliance Express.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract allows for potential adjustments to the number and size of containers, with invoicing based on the average cubic yards of refuse collected monthly. The total service schedule indicates a maximum of 6,084 cubic yards of waste service per year across 22 library locations. Pricing will be subject to adjustments based on increases in the City and County of Honolulu's disposal rate, recycling fund surcharge rate, and the State's solid waste management surcharge fee. The contractor will be required to maintain liability and property damage insurance throughout the contract term, with invoices to be paid within 30 calendar days of receipt. While no incumbent vendor is explicitly identified, the comprehensive service schedule suggests this is likely a rebid or renewal of an existing contract. The Hawaii State Public Library System reserves the right to add or delete contract locations during the contract period, providing flexibility in service delivery.
