Road-Killed Deer Removal and Disposal

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is soliciting for contractors to remove and lawfully dispose of clearly visible dead deer (or major parts thereof) that can result in hazardous driving conditions along or within PennDOT's right-of-ways, highways, and interchanges throughout the Commonwealth. The contract term is from the effective date of the Notice-to-Proceed to September 30, 2031, with initial enrollments due by June 22, 2021 and applications continuing to be accepted until January 31, 2031. Qualified contractors must have the proper vehicles, licenses, and disposal methods, and will be selected through an Invitation to Qualify (ITQ) process and subsequent Requests for Quotes (RFQs). The contract requires contractors to remove and dispose of the deer carcasses within 24 hours, and PennDOT reserves the right to require the use of specific disposal sites.

There are no set-aside requirements for this contract, and PennDOT has not identified any incumbent contractors. The pricing terms, funding requirements, and budget information are not specified in the documents provided. However, the contract provides for prompt payment discounts and allows for cooperative purchasing by local public procurement units and state-affiliated entities. PennDOT also reserves the right to conduct a Small Business Reserve procurement in eligible counties.
