The Louisiana Office of State Procurement has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Waste Disposal Services for the Department of Corrections (DOC) Headquarters located at 504 Mayflower Street in Baton Rouge. The solicitation (RFx Number 3000024732) seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive waste management services, including the provision and servicing of three 6-cubic yard containers to be serviced three times weekly, and one 30-cubic yard roll-off container for as-needed service. The contract period is set for July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with potential options to extend for two additional 12-month periods. Key deliverables include waste disposal, hauling, and container delivery services, with specific requirements for using Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) approved landfill sites and maintaining appropriate garbage trucks that meet federal and state safety standards. The bid opening is scheduled for May 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST, with online submission options available through the LaGov vendor system. Evaluation criteria include responsiveness, compliance with state and federal regulations, and pricing, with the state intending to award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on an all-or-none basis.

Vendors must be registered in the LaGov vendor system and submit a W-9 if newly registered. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the procurement includes strict compliance requirements related to civil rights laws, ADA accessibility, and anti-discrimination provisions. Contractors must verify they are not suspended or debarred and must meet comprehensive insurance requirements. The contract includes a progressive disciplinary approach with potential invoice reductions and contract termination for performance issues. Pricing will include monthly service fees, disposal fees (at $120 per ton), monthly rental fees, hauling fees, and a delivery fee, with the total contract value dependent on the unit prices submitted. Payment will be processed monthly using electronic payment solutions, including the LaCarte Procurement Card for purchases under $5,000 and Electronic Funds Transfer for other payments. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the detailed pricing structure suggests flexibility for vendors to compete based on their individual cost structures.
