Residential Waste Collection IFB

The Village of Drummond, located in Montgomery County, Maryland, has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for residential waste collection and disposal services targeting 41 single-family residential units. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive waste management services, including twice-weekly back-door collection of general residential waste and two annual curbside bulk trash pick-ups scheduled for the 2nd Saturday in May and November. Bidders must submit both a hard copy and electronic PDF version of their bid package, which must include a cover letter, completed bid sheet, references, non-collusion affidavit, and non-conviction affidavit. The contract will be awarded for an initial three-year term with the potential for two additional one-year extensions. Bid submissions are due by October 3, 2025, with a postmark deadline matching the submission date. Evaluation criteria will focus on identifying the lowest responsible bid that best meets the Village's needs, with vendors required to demonstrate capability to provide all necessary labor, equipment, and materials while ensuring proper waste disposal and compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.

The IFB does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Vendors must meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including workers' compensation and comprehensive general liability coverage with specified minimum coverage amounts. An optional component of the bid allows vendors to supply fifty 50-gallon wheeled trash cans with lids, providing additional flexibility in service delivery. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the document, the bid suggests the contract will cover monthly waste collection services, bulk trash pick-ups, and potential trash can procurement. The Village reserves the right to reject any bid that does not meet its comprehensive requirements, indicating a rigorous selection process focused on finding a vendor capable of delivering high-quality, consistent residential waste management services. Potential bidders should carefully review all documentation and ensure full compliance with the specified technical and administrative requirements.
