The vendor must provide all labor, equipment, and materials for recurring and as-needed collection at approximately 80 county facilities, including courthouses, fire departments, jails, administration buildings, and parks.

Pricing must be firm, fixed, and all-inclusive on the county Bid Schedule form submitted through the EUNA procurement portal, with separate prices for each calendar year. Prices must cover labor, equipment, fuel, transportation, loading, hauling, landfill fees, and environmental fees. No mobilization fees, fuel surcharges, environmental surcharges, or separate disposal charges are permitted. The county does not guarantee minimum locations, containers, pickups, or tonnage, and billing follows unit prices against actual service performed. The county may add, delete, relocate, or modify locations, container sizes, and collection frequencies during the term using established unit prices. The county estimates approximately 2 tons per pickup for 20-yard and 30-yard containers. Bonds are not required, and bids remain valid for 120 calendar days from opening.
