The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is seeking a contractor for litter and debris removal services in Alamance and Orange Counties (Division 7), with a specific focus on interstate road maintenance. The procurement is a Request for Proposal (RFP) for routine and on-call litter/debris removal and recycling services, requiring biweekly cleanups, on-call cleanups, isolated dump site removals, and bulk item removals. Mandatory qualifications include pre-qualification as a "Bidder" or "Purchase Order Contract Prime Contractor" and having at least one NCDOT Certified Work Zone Supervisor. The contract encompasses four primary bid items: routine litter/debris removal across 2,496 shoulder miles, on-call litter/debris removal for 100 shoulder miles, on-call isolated dump site cleanups (25 total), and on-call isolated bulk item removals (75 total). Proposals are due by February 24, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with the contract period running from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, and potential for two additional one-year renewals. Contractors must provide weight tickets from recycling facilities and landfills to document proper material disposal.

The contract does not have a specific Minority/Women-owned Business Enterprise (MBE/WBE) goal, with the Combined MBE/WBE goal set at 0%. The total contract value, including all potential renewals, cannot exceed $5 million, with bid prices subject to a 2% increase for each one-year extension. Pricing must be submitted per shoulder mile or per individual item, offering flexibility in bidding. No specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, and there are no explicit restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond beyond the pre-qualification requirements. The procurement appears open to qualified contractors who can demonstrate capability in interstate road litter and debris removal, with a strong emphasis on proper recycling and documentation of waste management. Potential bidders should carefully review the full RFP document to ensure compliance with all technical specifications and operational requirements.
