Refuse and Trash Collection, Removal and Disposal Services Lake Brownwood State Park

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for refuse and trash collection, removal, and disposal services at Lake Brownwood State Park located in Brownwood, Texas. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive waste management services with two distinct service levels: May through October requiring two weekly pickups, and November through April requiring one weekly pickup. The contract will cover twenty-six 3-cubic-yard containers and has an initial term from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, with an option to renew for three additional one-year terms. Bidders must have been in business for at least three years and are required to complete exhibits demonstrating company profile and past project references. The bid is due on September 23, 2025, at 2:00 pm CST, with an optional site visit encouraged for potential bidders to inspect the work location. Evaluation will be based on best value criteria, considering price, qualifications, experience, delivery schedule, and past performance. Pricing must include unit prices for routine service, service adjustments, and optional additional services covering scenarios such as extra pickups, container modifications, and potential 30-yard roll-off container services.

The solicitation includes several state-mandated requirements and restrictions, with specific provisions for historically underutilized businesses (HUBs) and immigration verification. Contractors must comply with cybersecurity training requirements and are subject to restrictions on contracting with companies that boycott certain industries. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive service requirements suggest a moderate-value contract suitable for waste management firms with established municipal or state park service experience. The procurement appears open to various business types, though there are implicit qualifications around operational capabilities, including three years of business history and demonstrated waste management expertise. The multi-year contract structure with renewal options provides potential for a stable, long-term service arrangement for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the available documentation, indicating this may be a new or re-competed service contract for Lake Brownwood State Park.
