Term Contract for Collection and Disposal of Automotive Fluids

Seminole County is seeking a qualified contractor to provide a term contract for the collection and disposal of automotive fluids across multiple county facilities, including the Central Transfer Station, Osceola Road Landfill, Fleet Services Building, Sheriff's Office, and two water treatment plants. The procurement involves collecting and transporting various automotive fluids such as used motor oil, oil filters, antifreeze, solvents, hydraulic fluids, and unwanted fuels to a Florida Department of Environmental Protection approved used oil processor for recycling, reuse, or disposal. The Request for Proposal (RFP-604991-25/MPG) was released on March 5, 2025, with questions due by April 16, 2025, and proposal submissions required by April 23, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The evaluation process will score proposals across four key criteria: organizational structure (20 points), project understanding/approach (25 points), experience (25 points), and fee structure (30 points), using a 0-5 point scoring methodology. Proposers must demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in automotive fluid management, compliance with state and federal regulations, and the ability to handle various container sizes and types of automotive-related materials.

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for specific types of organizations. Contractors must meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, Business Automobile Liability, and Pollution Liability, with coverage limits ranging from $1,000,000 to $4,000,000. While a specific contract value is not disclosed, the pricing proposal allows for flexible bidding across revenue-generating, no-charge, and cost/charge sections for different container sizes. Contractors must provide their own drums and containers meeting Department of Transportation shipping requirements, with all associated costs integrated into per-gallon rates. The contract appears structured as a term agreement with potential for renewal, though the specific duration is not explicitly stated in the available documents. Seminole County reserves the right to award the contract to the proposal presenting the best overall value, with the evaluation committee having sole discretion in the selection process.
