Trash Removal Services-Multiple State Resort Park Locations

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Finance and Administration Cabinet is seeking trash removal services for four specific state resort parks located across Kentucky: Natural Bridge State Resort Park, Greenbo Lake State Resort Park, Cumberland Falls State Resort Park, and Green River Lake State Park. This Request for Bid (RFB 758 2600000020) was released on August 8, 2025, with vendor questions due by August 15, 2025, and a bid closing date of August 25, 2025, at 1:30 PM EST. The initial contract period will span one year, beginning no earlier than October 1, 2025, with potential for four additional one-year renewal periods. The procurement will be awarded using a best value ranking approach, allocating 95 points to pricing and 5 points to delivery time. Vendors must submit a $0.01 electronic bid and provide detailed pricing on the accompanying Bid Sheet, with the ability to bid on individual park groups. Responsive bidders must complete all line items within their selected group and be registered in the Commonwealth eProcurement System.

Potential bidders must meet specific qualifications, including maintaining Commercial General Liability Insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate limits, as well as Automobile Liability Insurance. The solicitation includes potential preferences for Kentucky resident bidders and qualified organizations like Kentucky Industries for the Blind. Price increases are prohibited during the first twelve months, with subsequent increases requiring justification of industry-wide price changes and approval from the Office of Procurement Services. Vendors must comply with Kentucky tax registration requirements and provide various affidavits and certifications. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the contract will be funded through the Kentucky Department of Parks and may potentially extend to other state agencies at the discretion of the Office of Procurement Services. The comprehensive requirements suggest a robust and competitive bidding process designed to secure efficient and cost-effective trash removal services across multiple state resort park locations.
