Recycling Services - Pallets

The State of Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) is seeking bids for recycling services for wooden pallets at the Stateville Correctional Center. The objective is to establish cost-effective and operationally efficient weekly pickup of recyclable pallets. Vendors must provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary for the removal of the pallets, with pickups scheduled on Tuesdays or Thursdays between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm, excluding holidays. The awarded vendor will be provided a state-issued Shipping Report at the time of pickup, which must accompany the vendor's payment check to the facility. The bid will be awarded to the vendor with the most lucrative unit price per pallet. The initial contract term is undefined but cannot exceed 10 years total including any renewals or extensions. All small purchases for this service must be submitted electronically via the BidBuy procurement system, with vendors attaching a completed and signed Request for Quote.

There are no stated small business, minority-owned, women-owned, or veteran-owned business set-asides for this opportunity. Subcontractors are not allowed. The total contract value is estimated, with no maximum amount specified. The related procurement documents include the State of Illinois' Standard Terms and Conditions, as well as a Notice of Electronic Submission through the BidBuy system, which supersedes any conflicting instructions and requires all submissions to be made through the BidBuy platform by the specified deadline.
