Uncrushed Oil Filters & used Oil Collection (Co-Op)

Brevard County and participating public entities have issued a cooperative purchasing contract (Bid #B-5-25-28) soliciting comprehensive used oil and automotive waste management services. The procurement seeks a qualified supplier to collect, transport, dispose, and recycle various waste materials including uncrushed oil filters, used motor oil, spent antifreeze, oily water, contaminated oils, and absorbent materials for multiple county departments and cooperative partners. Participating entities include Brevard County departments, Eastern Florida State College, School Board of Brevard County, Canaveral Port Authority, and various municipal fleets. The bid requires vendors to provide UN/DOT approved containers, maintain environmental compliance, and demonstrate expertise in oil waste management. The bid was opened on January 9, 2025, at 10:30 AM, with a planned five-year contract term from January 30, 2025, to January 29, 2030. Vendors must submit comprehensive documentation including references, compliance forms, and insurance certifications, with a requirement for $1,000,000 in general liability coverage and environmental impairment liability insurance.

Two vendors submitted proposals: Petrotech Southeast, Inc. from Astatula, FL, and Safety-Kleen Systems, Inc. from Norwell, MA, with Petrotech ultimately being awarded the contract. The procurement does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses, but includes compliance requirements such as restrictions on doing business with scrutinized companies and foreign countries of concern. The contract covers 44 line items across Brevard County and City of Cocoa locations, with pricing structures varying from $0.55 to $145.00 per unit depending on material type and pickup frequency. Contractors must provide emergency response capabilities and comply with local, state, and federal environmental regulations. The cooperative nature of the contract allows potential participation by additional public entities beyond the initial signatories, which could expand the contract's scope and potential value. Petrotech's awarded pricing includes rates such as $145.00 per pickup for used motor oil, $0.95 per gallon for antifreeze, and $50.00 per drum for uncrushed oil filters.
