Trash Out Services

The City of Detroit, Office of Contracting & Procurement, is requesting qualifications for trash out services contractors under the Proposal N for Neighborhoods Program, with qualifications valid through December 31, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. This is a pre-qualification vehicle; no specific work is guaranteed upon approval, and individual property bid packages will be released quarterly thereafter.

Detroit Certified Companies are set-aside for 50 percent of overall Proposal N work, with 30 percent of properties reserved for Detroit Certified Small or Micro Small Businesses. All contractors must comply with Detroit's local hiring requirement that 51 percent of work be completed by Detroit residents under Executive Order 2016-1.

The scope covers trash removal and cleanup services on structures throughout Detroit. Contractors must submit qualifications through the City of Detroit Oracle system, including combined certificates of authority, reference forms, income tax and accounts receivable clearance documentation, and compliance affidavits. Subcontractor arrangements are permitted. Contractors currently pre-qualified under other City of Detroit programs must requalify to participate in this specific program.

Evaluation occurs under blind visibility conditions. Contract payment terms are Net 30, with freight costs borne by the seller and lowest cost carrier shipping. A qualifications conference will be scheduled and communicated via the Oracle system message section. Quarterly bid packages will specify property addresses and project-specific requirements following pre-qualification approval.
