The Missouri Department of Corrections is seeking competitive, sealed bids for trash collection services at the Chillicothe Correctional Center (CCC) located in Lincoln County. The procurement involves the rental and weekly collection of multiple trash receptacles, specifically: a 2-cubic-yard stationary trash compactor with a 40-cubic-yard receiving box for dry trash, a 20-cubic-yard sealable receptacle for wet trash, a 6-cubic-yard commercial dumpster for the visiting room, and a 20-cubic-yard open top receptacle with a 28.5-cubic-yard liner for wet trash from the wastewater area. The solicitation (IFB931Y20708650) requires vendors to provide comprehensive pricing for monthly equipment rental, weekly collection services, unscheduled collection fees, liner fees, disposal fees, and environmental fees. The bid period runs from September 16, 2020, to October 14, 2020, at 8:00 PM GMT, with non-mandatory site tours available by appointment through Tammy Dysart. Bidders must submit pricing exhibits for an initial contract term and two potential one-year renewal periods, with submissions accepted electronically through MissouriBUYS or as sealed hard copies to the Department of Corrections Purchasing Section in Jefferson City. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specified requirements.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, indicating that all vendors are eligible to respond. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and there are no mentioned preferences for small businesses, disadvantaged enterprises, or local vendors. The procurement documents do not disclose the total estimated contract value or specific budget range. Payment terms are vendor-specified, with invoices to be submitted to the Department's Fiscal Management Unit either electronically or by mail. The initial contract term will be for one year, with two optional one-year renewal periods, providing potential stability and continuity for the selected vendor. Funding for the contract will be provided through the Missouri Department of Corrections' operating budget, suggesting this is a standard operational procurement to maintain waste management services at the Chillicothe Correctional Center.
