Waste Containment and Sanitation System (Honey Wagon)

Arizona State Parks and Trails, through the Arizona Department of Administration State Procurement Office, is seeking to establish a contract for a Waste Containment and Sanitation System (commonly known as a "Honey Wagon") to support operations at Alamo Lake State Park. The procurement involves the purchase and delivery of one new waste containment system with specific technical requirements, including a 400-gallon waste tank, 100-gallon fresh water tank, 50 CFM vacuum pump system, a dedicated gasoline engine with minimum 5 horsepower, and 50 feet of 2-inch diameter suction hose mounted on a heavy-duty dual-axle trailer with DOT-compliant components. Offerors must submit responses electronically through the Arizona Procurement Portal (APP) by November 28, 2025, at 3:00 PM Arizona Time. The evaluation criteria will focus on the lowest responsive price and delivery/lead time, with vendors required to provide a percentage discount off list price. Key deliverables include a minimum one-year warranty covering all parts and labor, complete operator manuals and maintenance guides, on-site training for designated personnel, and compliance with transportation and environmental regulations. The contract will initially run for twelve months, with potential mutual extensions not exceeding a total of five years.

The procurement is specifically restricted to small businesses as defined under Arizona regulations, unless specific exemption circumstances apply. The total aggregate spend across all awarded contractors is capped at $100,000 for the contract term. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including $2,000,000 in Commercial General Liability, $1,000,000 in Business Automobile Liability, and appropriate Workers' Compensation coverage with endorsements naming the State as an additional insured. Invoicing must be completed electronically to ASPInvoice@azstateparks.gov with specific documentation requirements. The State reserves the right to cancel the contract without penalty and may terminate for various reasons including convenience, default, suspension, or debarment. Successful vendors will be expected to integrate with existing park infrastructure and provide a solution that meets the specific needs of remote state park locations, with a particular focus on Alamo Lake State Park's operational requirements.
