The City of Lansing's Purchasing Office is requesting proposals for trash pickup and removal services under RFP/27/015, with proposals due August 13, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and contractor selection targeted for September 10, 2026. The procurement is federally funded, triggering Executive Order 11246 equal employment opportunity requirements, Davis-Bacon Act wage provisions for construction contracts exceeding $2,000, and Section 3 compliance for directing economic opportunities to low- and very low-income persons.

The scope covers household and bulk trash removal from residential neighborhoods during approximately 15–20 community cleanup events annually, hauling materials to appropriate waste facilities, and obtaining written disposal documentation. Prohibited items include asbestos-containing materials, hazardous waste, lead acid batteries, medical waste, PCB waste, scrap tires, and used oil as defined by Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy regulations. The City expects no more than two projects per day and ten per month.

Minimum qualifications include valid licensing under City and State of Michigan codes, 2025 annual financial statements, documentation of hauling capacity, proof of licensed drivers with DOT-certified fleet vehicles, authorization to dispose of solid waste at approved non-hazardous landfills, and $2,000,000 liability insurance naming the City as additional insured. Pricing shall be submitted as cost per cubic yard, inclusive of personnel, fuel surcharges, landfill costs, and state and county surcharges.

The contract term runs through August 31, 2029, comprising a two-year initial term and one optional one-year extension subject to mutual agreement 30 days before expiration. Payment will be made within 10 business days of invoice approval and submission of waste manifests and supporting documentation. Contract execution is targeted for September 16, 2026.
