Trash Services for Carter Caves State Resort Park

The Commonwealth of Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet, on behalf of the Kentucky Department of Parks, is issuing a Request for Bid (RFB) for trash removal services at the Carter Caves State Resort Park. The procurement seeks a vendor to provide twice-weekly trash pickup during the busy season from April 1 to October 31, and once-weekly service during the off-season from November 1 to March 31. The services are required for the campground, horse campground, primitive campground, and maintenance area. The RFB provides detailed specifications on the number and size of dumpsters required, as well as the desired pickup frequencies. Pricing is requested on a monthly basis for both the busy and off-seasons. The initial contract term is from the time of award through September 30, 2023, with the option to renew for four additional one-year periods. The RFB closes on December 14, 2022, at 1:30 PM ET.

The Commonwealth reserves the right to consider bids non-responsive if they do not comply with the specifications. Preferences may be applied for Kentucky resident bidders and qualified bidders such as nonprofit agencies for individuals with severe disabilities. Past vendor performance may also be considered in the award. No incumbent vendor is listed, and the budget or award value range is not provided in the RFB. Interested parties should review the attached documents carefully and submit their bids by the stated deadline.
