The South Carolina Department of Mental Health (SCDMH) is seeking waste management services for Patrick B Harris Hospital in Anderson, SC through an Invitation for Bid solicitation. The procurement requires a contractor to provide comprehensive refuse collection and disposal services, which include managing multiple 8-yard containers with varied pickup frequencies: one container twice per week, two containers three times per week, and two containers five times per week. The vendor must supply all necessary containers and conduct pickups between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Key requirements include furnishing labor, materials, tools, transportation, and equipment for waste management. Potential bidders must submit questions by April 18, 2022, at 12:00 PM, with final offers due online by April 28, 2022, at 3:00 PM. Site visits are available by appointment with Robert Price at (864) 965-9861, and award notification is scheduled for April 29, 2022. The proposed contract will have a five-year initial term from May 9, 2022, to May 8, 2027, with automatic annual renewals unless either party provides 30 days' notice of non-renewal.

The solicitation allows for vendor preferences, with potential 2% or 4% advantages for resident vendors, contractors, or subcontractors meeting specific statutory requirements. Bidders must be registered in South Carolina and possess a state vendor number. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with pricing submitted as fixed unit and extended prices, inclusive of all landfill and disposal fees. No sales or use taxes should be included in pricing, and payment will be processed via electronic funds transfer following invoice submission. Contractors must maintain appropriate licenses, permits, and insurance, and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive waste management services suggest a multi-year contract with potentially significant value. Nonresident contractors may be subject to income tax withholding requirements, and the successful vendor must ensure professional conduct and discipline among employees.
