Waste Disposal Service - DOC - Dixon

The Louisiana Department of Corrections is soliciting a waste disposal services contract for the Dixon Correctional Institute (DCI) located in Jackson, LA, with a procurement timeline spanning from the award date through June 30, 2026. The contract requires a vendor to provide and service multiple waste containers, specifically seven 4-cubic yard front load containers, two 6-cubic yard front load containers, one 8-cubic yard front load container, and two 30-cubic yard open top roll-off containers. Service requirements include scheduled pickups on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Mondays between 7:00 AM and 4:30 PM CT, using LDH-approved landfill sites and maintaining clean, pest-controlled containers. The solicitation (RFx Number 3000025011) will be opened on July 8, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with bidders required to be registered in the LaGov vendor system. Evaluation will focus on selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all specified technical and operational requirements, with the contract to be awarded on an all-or-none basis.

The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract allows for potential two 12-month extensions, which could bring the total contract duration to 36 months. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the solicitation includes line items for monthly service fees, hauling fees, disposal fees (estimated at approximately 12 tons per dump), and a one-time container delivery fee. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability with specified minimum coverage amounts. Performance standards are stringent, with a graduated penalty system for unsatisfactory service that could result in contract termination if multiple invoice reductions occur within specified timeframes. The state will utilize electronic payment methods, including the LaCarte Procurement Card for purchases under $5,000 and Electronic Funds Transfer for larger transactions.
