Trash Compactor Rental

Big Muddy River Correctional Center, an Illinois Department of Corrections facility, is soliciting bids for rental of a 30-yard self-contained trash compactor including setup and removal services, with bids due October 23, 2026.

The compactor must operate on 3-phase power and match the facility's existing feeding configuration, as clarified in Bid Amendment 1 issued October 7, 2026. The vendor must provide three business days' notice before setup and removal, which occur Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. (excluding holidays), coordinated with the facility's Chief Engineer. All vendor employees performing on-site services must pass security background checks, including urinalysis or blood testing if reasonable suspicion exists, within five working days of contract award. Subcontracting is prohibited.

The initial contract term runs January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2031, with a maximum total term not to exceed ten years including renewals or extensions. Monthly rental pricing includes all setup and removal costs; the State will not fund work performed before contract execution. The vendor must submit itemized monthly invoices to the Business Office detailing service dates, location, and type of service rendered for reconciliation and approval by the Chief Engineer and Voucher Clerk before payment.

The vendor must maintain general commercial liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 annual aggregate, auto liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and workers' compensation insurance as required by law, with the State named as additional insured. The vendor is responsible for obtaining all necessary licenses and permits and must comply with prevailing wage requirements if applicable. Minority contractors awarded contracts of $1,000 or more must pay a $15 administrative fee to the Illinois Comptroller's Administrative Fund. Contract pricing is estimated; the maximum contract amount will be entered by the State prior to execution.
