Refuse & Trash Collection, Removal & Disposal Services for Lake Colorado City 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 Colorado City State Park, located in Colorado City, Texas. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive waste management services, specifically requiring sixteen 3-cubic-yard containers with one pickup every two weeks between Monday and Friday. The initial contract term is set for September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2027, with an option to renew for three additional one-year terms. Bidders must demonstrate at least three years of experience in similar services and complete Exhibit A (Company Profile) and Exhibit B (Past Projects with Corresponding References). The bid evaluation will be based on best value, considering factors such as lowest price, qualifications, delivery schedule, and past performance. The solicitation requires respondents to quote all line items, including routine service rates, extra pickups, container additions or deletions, and an optional 40-cubic-yard roll-off container. The bid is due on July 17, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, and potential bidders are encouraged to attend a pre-bid site visit to inspect the work site.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the procurement appears open to qualified waste management service providers. The contract does not indicate any preferences for disadvantaged enterprises or specific organizational structures. No information about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure is provided in the available materials. The pricing structure suggests flexibility in service requirements, with TPWD reserving the right to adjust container numbers and pickup frequency as needed. Although a precise award value is not specified, the contract includes a detailed pricing mechanism with monthly rates for routine service and additional line items for supplementary services. The comprehensive nature of the solicitation indicates a potentially significant contract value, particularly given the multi-year term and potential renewal options. Interested contractors should carefully review the full solicitation document to understand the complete scope of requirements and potential service obligations.
