The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) Procurement Office is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for comprehensive trash removal and debris disposal services across five Spartanburg-area facilities, including the Spartanburg Maintenance Facility, Greer office, I-85 rest area, Woodruff Section Shed, and Campobello Section Shed. The procurement encompasses eight containers of varying sizes requiring delivery, placement, scheduled emptying, hauling, and proper disposal services: one 30-yard container serviced weekly at the I-85 South Bound Old Weight Station, four 8-yard containers serviced weekly at the Spartanburg Maintenance Facility and Shep Office, and two 4-yard containers serviced twice monthly at the Woodruff and Campobello facilities. All services must be performed during operating hours of 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, with the contractor responsible for maintaining containers in safe, clean, and operable condition while providing responsive customer service and prompt response to service issues. Bidders must submit fixed-price bids with unit pricing for each container type and service frequency, including all applicable disposal fees with separate identification of disposal costs where required, and must ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local environmental regulations and disposal at properly permitted facilities. The contract will commence on July 14, 2026, with an initial five-year term ending July 13, 2031, and encompasses 36 line items with monthly unit pricing submissions required. Key deadlines include June 3, 2026, at 12:00 PM for submission of questions and June 18, 2026, at 2:30 PM for sealed bid submission via www.procurement.sc.gov, with award notification scheduled for July 2, 2026. No pre-bid conference or mandatory site visit is required.

In-state vendors may claim South Carolina resident contractor preference, resident subcontractor preference (4% or 2%), or resident vendor preference under South Carolina Code Section 11-35-1524, provided they meet specific requirements regarding in-state offices and labor. The contractor must obtain and maintain all necessary licenses and permits and demonstrate commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence, auto liability coverage, and workers' compensation insurance. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with acceptable materials including normal household debris, mattresses, and highway-collected litter. Performance standards specify that failure to meet service frequency, response times, or contractual obligations may result in corrective actions or deductions. The solicitation does not identify specific incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor are there identified set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises. No specific contract budget or award value is stated in the procurement documents, though bidders are required to provide all pricing within 10 days of purchase order receipt and are subject to short pay provisions in accordance with SCDOT procurement requirements.
