Solid Waste Removal & Recycling Services IFB

Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) is seeking competitive bids for a comprehensive solid waste removal and recycling services contract across Lee, Harnett, and Chatham counties. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) solicits vendors to provide municipal solid waste (MSW) pickup, recycling services for materials including cardboard, glass, aluminum cans, newspapers, magazines, and plastics, and removal of construction debris and wooden pallets. The contract will have an initial one-year term beginning August 1, 2025, with options to renew for two additional one-year terms. CCCC currently requires twenty-two containers across various campuses, including front-load containers of different sizes (2, 6, and 8 yards) for both MSW and recycling. Bids are due on July 14, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET, with a bid opening at 2:15 PM ET, and the college anticipates awarding the contract by July 21, 2025. Vendors must provide detailed pricing for waste and recycling services for each county, with pricing tables covering three years. The evaluation will be based on the lowest price that meets specifications, with the college reserving the right to make separate awards by county or reject all bids.

The solicitation requires vendors to be licensed in North Carolina and maintain appropriate insurance. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, vendors must comply with local, state, and federal regulations. The bid does not explicitly list incumbent vendors or require integration with existing infrastructure. Vendors must submit comprehensive pricing that covers waste removal, recycling services, and construction debris removal across the three counties. Though a specific budget range is not provided, the detailed pricing requirements suggest a multi-year contract with potentially significant financial scope. The college will evaluate bids primarily on price and ability to meet the specified service requirements, with an emphasis on comprehensive waste management solutions that can serve multiple campus locations efficiently and cost-effectively.
