The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) 802-26-63406-R for refuse and trash collection, removal, and disposal services at Daingerfield State Park, located in Milam County, Texas. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide weekly trash collection services, specifically one pickup per week for seven 6-cubic yard containers between Monday and Friday. The contractor will be responsible for furnishing all labor, equipment, materials, administrative fees, fuel surcharges, delivery, pick-up, and disposal services. Bidders are required to have a minimum of three years' experience providing similar services and must maintain all necessary permits, licenses, and insurance coverages, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability. The initial contract term will run from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2027, with an option to renew for three additional one-year terms. Interested bidders are encouraged to conduct a pre-bid site visit by contacting Park Superintendent Taylor Hackemack, and all bids must be submitted by 2:00 PM CST on August 18, 2025.

The procurement includes standard state procurement preferences, with potential advantages for Texas bidders, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and historically underutilized businesses. TPWD will award the contract based on best value criteria, considering factors such as lowest price, contractor qualifications and experience, delivery schedule, and past performance. The state reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities and adjust service frequency based on actual park visitation needs. While no specific budget range is mentioned, the contract allows for pricing adjustments for adding or deleting containers, with listed quantities serving as estimates for evaluation purposes only. The solicitation does not specify an incumbent vendor or require integration with existing infrastructure, focusing instead on providing comprehensive waste management services for the state park. Potential bidders should carefully review the complete IFB documentation to ensure full compliance with all requirements and to understand the scope of services expected.
