Trash Compactor Rental

Big Muddy River Correctional Center, operated by the Illinois Department of Corrections, is procuring a rental contract for one 30-yard self-contained trash compactor including setup and removal, with proposals due August 28, 2026. This is a small business set-aside.

The contract runs from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2031, with a maximum total term not exceeding ten years including renewal periods. Setup and removal must occur during normal business hours (Monday–Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., excluding holidays) with three days' notice and coordination through the Department of Corrections Chief Engineer. All vendor employees performing onsite services must pass security background checks and drug screening within five working days of award.

The vendor must carry general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence with $2,000,000 annual aggregate, auto liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and workers' compensation insurance as required by law, naming the State as additionally insured. Maintenance responsibilities, equipment condition standards, and termination provisions are specified in the attached Standard Terms and Conditions.

Pricing is estimated rather than firm; specific monthly rental rates for setup and removal will be located in the BidBuy Purchase Order Items Tab, with total contract value to be entered by the State prior to execution. Monthly invoices, itemized by date, location, and service type, must be submitted to the Big Muddy River Correctional Center Business Office and reconciled by the Chief Engineer and Voucher Clerk before payment processing.

The procurement was conducted as a small purchase via BidBuy with original publication on August 14, 2026. Bidders must accept the attached standard terms and conditions as a condition of award.
