Trash service-spartanburg

The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for containerized waste disposal services across five maintenance facilities in the Spartanburg area. The procurement seeks trash removal services involving one 30-yard container to be emptied weekly at SC-85 NB Exit 2C, three 8-yard containers to be emptied weekly at two SCDOT facilities and one SHEP office location, and two 4-yard containers to be emptied twice monthly at section sheds in Woodruff and Campobello. Key procurement dates include May 13, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. for question submissions, and May 20, 2021 at 2:30 p.m. for offer submissions through http://www.procurement.sc.gov. The contract will have an initial one-year term from June 4, 2021 to June 3, 2022, with potential automatic renewals for additional one-year periods. Award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with evaluation criteria including pricing accuracy, compliance with solicitation requirements, and ability to meet container delivery and service specifications within 10 days of purchase order receipt.

Bidders must obtain all necessary licenses and permits and maintain commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence. The solicitation includes potential South Carolina resident vendor preferences, though no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly noted. Contractors must comply with all applicable state and federal laws. The contract includes line items structured for pricing across five annual periods, representing a potential five-year maximum contract period. No incumbent vendor is identified in the solicitation, and no specific technology integration requirements are mentioned. While precise budget ranges are not specified, pricing will be evaluated on a unit basis for each container size and location combination, with bidders instructed to exclude sales and use taxes from their submitted prices. The procurement allows for potential multi-year engagement, contingent on satisfactory performance and state discretion for renewal.
