Trash Compactors

The County of Sacramento, through its Department of Airports, is seeking competitive bids for the procurement of four (4) 30-yard trash compactors to be installed at Sacramento International Airport. The Request for Bid (RFB #2023-RFB-0208) was released on September 8, 2023, with a pre-bid meeting scheduled for September 21, 2023, at 10:00 am at the Department of Airports. Bidders are required to submit electronic responses by October 10, 2023, at 2:32 pm through the ProcureNow platform. The compactors must meet specific technical requirements, including a minimum 30 cubic yard capacity, 10 HP motor, compliance with ANSI Z245.2 and Z245.21 safety standards, and similarity to the Cram-A-Lot SC-T2-30 model. Key specifications include a 3-phase 480V 30A electrical feed, Cato Green paint to match existing units, and a tilt mechanism for 3-yard towable bins. The county will evaluate bids based on best value, considering factors such as suitability, quality, service, previous experience, life cycle cost, and ability to deliver.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on bidding organizations. No incumbent vendors are identified in the provided documentation. The compactors must be compatible with existing airport infrastructure, specifically the current roller spacing and electrical systems. Bidders are required to provide unit costs for the compactors, guardrails, and installation, with pricing to be submitted exclusive of taxes. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement involves four industrial-grade trash compactors with detailed technical specifications. The county reserves the right to award the contract based on the most advantageous proposal, suggesting flexibility in the final selection process. Vendors will need to demonstrate technical capability to meet the precise specifications, including the self-contained design, electric controls, and installation requirements for the airport waste management infrastructure.
