Waste Removal Service

The University of North Carolina at Pembroke (UNCP) has issued Request for Quote #71-Q2024-16 for comprehensive waste removal and recycling services across its campus, located in Robeson County, North Carolina. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide and service 23 waste containers and 157 recycle bins of varying sizes, including 95-gallon and 65-gallon recycling containers, 2-yard to 8-yard waste containers, and special roll-off containers for campus, construction, yard waste, football, and student move-out needs. The contract will have an initial three-year term from approximately July 2025 to June 2028, with options to extend for two additional one-year periods. The successful vendor must handle weekly pickups, provide monthly reporting, conduct quarterly review meetings, and manage comprehensive waste management responsibilities. Quotes are due on April 4, 2025, at 3:00 PM ET, with vendors required to submit detailed monthly service fees for different container sizes and separate pricing for each contract year.

The solicitation emphasizes support for HUB (Historically Underutilized Businesses) participation, encouraging diverse vendor engagement and potentially setting aside portions of the contract for qualified minority-owned or small businesses. The university will implement a Single Stream Recycling program, with all recyclables becoming the property of the waste management provider. Vendors must clean debris around containers, provide monthly weight reports, and offer next-day service for pickup requests made by 2:00 PM. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the contract suggests a substantial annual investment in waste management services. Additional requirements include detailed pricing for seasonal and special containers, such as 20-yard, 30-yard, and 40-yard roll-off containers serviced on various schedules. The procurement supports UNCP's sustainability efforts and seeks a vendor capable of providing efficient, responsive, and environmentally conscious waste removal services.
