Trash Collection Services - Five (5) Locations

The Colorado Department of Transportation is soliciting competitive bids for trash collection services at five locations in Region 3, Section 2, with proposals due August 31, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. via BidNet Direct. Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) respondents certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration receive a 5% price preference.

The scope covers all labor and equipment for scheduled and on-call trash collection, dumpster service, and disposal at designated CDOT facilities across the five locations. Each location will be awarded separately, and a single vendor may win awards for multiple locations. Proposed pricing must remain firm during the initial contract term and include all fees associated with service delivery.

The contract term is one year with four optional one-year extensions. The desired contract start date is October 1, 2026. Price is the primary evaluation factor; awards will be made to the responsible respondent whose acceptable quote is most advantageous to the State. Vendors must submit pricing using the provided Appendix D Price Submission Form with either digital or wet signature; no alternative forms are accepted.

Prior to contract execution, the awarded respondent must provide proof of Good Standing with the Colorado Secretary of State and an insurance certificate documenting required coverage. Written inquiries are due August 24, 2026 at 12:00 p.m., with responses published by August 27, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Estimated award selection and notification is September 10, 2026.
