The scope includes hauling and disposal services for one 30 cubic yard compactor (serviced three times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) and two 25 cubic yard metal lid roll-off containers (serviced twice weekly on Mondays and Thursdays). Service windows are 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Central Time, excluding weekends and holidays; makeup service occurs the following workday if a scheduled pickup falls on a holiday. Containers must meet specified industry standards including minimum 10-gauge steel bottoms for front-load units, waterproof construction, and insect-resistant lids. Garbage trucks must be federally and Louisiana Department of Public Safety certified. The contractor bears full responsibility for equipment maintenance, cleaning, disinfection, sanitization, and replacement; must utilize only State-approved landfill sites; and must submit quarterly tonnage reports to Dorian Allen at Dorian.Allen@la.gov.

The contract runs from award through June 30, 2027, with two optional 12-month renewal periods at the same prices and terms, extending the maximum total term to 36 months. Pricing must be firm for the initial contract period and includes four line items: hauling fees (260 service events annually), landfill disposal fees (approximately 1,750 tons annually), a 12-month monthly rental for the metal lid roll-off food waste container, and a one-time delivery fee. Payment is monthly via LaCarte Procurement Card (purchases under $5,000) or Electronic Funds Transfer.

Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance: Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability with $1 million per occurrence, and Automobile Liability with $1 million combined single limits, naming the State as additional insured with 30-day cancellation notice. Personnel at the correctional facility must pass security clearance and criminal background checks and comply with Prison Rape Elimination Act regulations. A penalty system with escalating invoice deductions applies for non-conforming service; automatic termination may occur if two or more reductions are issued within 30 workdays or 15 total reductions within 12 months. All vendors must register in the LaGov system and comply with E-Verify, Secretary of State registration (for contracts exceeding $25,000), and federal and state compliance requirements.
