The purchasing agency, Minot State University, is seeking bids to provide all labor, materials, equipment, and supplies necessary for the collection, transportation, and disposal of waste and garbage across the university campus. The contract term is for one year from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025, with the option for the State to renew the contract for up to nine additional one-year terms. Pricing terms include a firm-fixed price for the first year, with potential for price adjustments in subsequent years due to increased dumping charges or regulations. Fuel surcharges may also be negotiated when fuel prices rise 15% or more from the opening of the solicitation. Bids must be submitted electronically through the State Procurement Online system by the due date of June 12, 2024 at 3:00 PM CT.

Paragraph 2:

The solicitation documents do not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed. The contract opportunity requires integration with the existing campus infrastructure and facilities. While the solicitation does not specify an award value or budget range, the comprehensive trash collection services across the Minot State University campus suggest this could be a sizable contract opportunity for qualified vendors.
