Recycling Services for Aluminum and Tin

The State of Illinois, through the Stateville Correctional Center, is seeking bids for recycling services for aluminum and tin cans. The awarded vendor will be responsible for the removal of the recyclable products, including baled tin cans and baled aluminum cans, from the correctional facility on a weekly basis. Vendors must provide all necessary labor, materials, and equipment for the recycling services. Pickup of the recyclables can only occur on Tuesdays or Thursdays between 8AM and 12PM, excluding holidays. The value of the recyclables will be determined by the actual weight multiplied by the unit price submitted by the vendor. Vendors must pass a security background check to perform the on-site services. The contract will be awarded to the vendor bidding the most lucrative unit price. This is a small purchase contract with an initial term of 6 months and no renewal options. Pricing will be firm, with no expenses allowed.

The contract opportunity does not indicate any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no mention of an incumbent vendor or current contractor, nor any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total estimated value of the contract is unknown, as it is dependent on the quantity of recyclables generated. The funding for this contract will be from the General Revenue Fund.
