Rebid-Refuse Collection Dillon WC

The South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism (SCPRT) is seeking bids for refuse collection and disposal services at the Dillon Welcome Center located on Interstate 95 North in Hamer, South Carolina. The procurement is structured as an Invitation for Bid (IFB) requiring vendors to provide and service four 8-cubic-yard containers with lids and sliding doors, to be serviced once per week with additional as-needed pickups available. The contract will run for an initial one-year term with four potential one-year renewal options, with an estimated start date of May 15, 2022, and an end date of May 14, 2027. Prospective bidders must submit offers online by April 21, 2022, at 3:00 PM, with questions due by April 14, 2022, at 10:00 AM. Site visits are available by appointment by contacting Rusty Zahler at 803-231-0487, and the award will be posted on April 25, 2022, at www.procurement.sc.gov. The pricing proposal requires unit prices for monthly service and additional pickups, with all costs for equipment provision, maintenance, cleaning, disinfection, and disposal included in the bid price. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder.

Vendors must maintain a current South Carolina vendor registration number and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. Bidders may claim South Carolina Resident Contractor Preference or Resident Subcontractor Preference, which can provide a 2% or 4% advantage if statutory requirements are met. The solicitation allows for potential preference to local or disadvantaged businesses, though specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed. Contractors must adhere to worker classification and illegal immigration requirements. While no specific budget range is provided, the comprehensive nature of the service requirements suggests a moderate-value contract covering waste management services for a state welcome center. The procurement is open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications and regulatory compliance standards outlined in the invitation for bid.
