Solid Waste Removal Service
The Federal Prison Camp in Duluth, Minnesota, intends to make a single award to a qualified company for the provision of Waste Disposal Services for the inmate population and staff housing located at the Federal Prison Camp in Duluth, Minnesota. The Waste Disposal Service includes the following: The Contractor will provide Waste Disposal Services which conform to all Local State, and Federal laws and regulations applicable to the disposal of waste. Contractor shall provide services to FPC Duluth with all labor, equipment, transportation, and disposal of solid waste, trash, or refuse. There are two "HOT TRASH" dumpsters at the institution. Each shall be a six yard dumpster furnished by the Contractor. The dumpster will contain mostly paper products and staff housing garbage, and must be secured with a lock. The padlock will be provided by the FPC. The offeror will quote a firm fixed price per dumpster pull. There is one 20 yard construction dumpster which will be furnished by the Contractor. This dumpster will be emptied on an "on call" basis. The offeror will quote a "pull fee" price for picking up, emptying and returning the dumpster to the institution. The government will pay for the actual weight of the construction debris after the Contractor submits a certified receipt showing the total weight and thus proving the debris was taken to a licensed landfill. The Contractor will be paid for the "pull fee" and reimbursed for the cost of disposal of the waste and any applicable taxes related to the load. There is one Government owned 30 yard dumpster with a compactor at the institution. The offeror will pay for the actual weight of the debris after the Contractor submits a certified receipt showing the total weight and thus proving that the debris was taken to a licensed landfill. The Contractor will be paid for the "pull fee" and reimbursed for the cost of the disposal of the waste and any applicable taxes related to that load. There are three 2 yard dumpsters to be furnished by the Contractor for food waste items at the institution. The dumpsters should be made of steel, and preferable have a plug in the bottom for the inmates to be able to easily clean the inside of the dumpsters. The wetness of the food waste will vary. The Contractor and the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) will mutually agree on the exact time and days for scheduled solid waste removal. Trash Pickup: Trash will not be segregated prior to pickup. The contents of the compactor (including all garbage, refuse, and trash inside, resting upon or in the immediate vicinity of the compactor and that which might be spilled by collectors during pickup) shall be thoroughly and completely collected. If the Contractor causes contents to spill out of any of the dumpsters, they shall collect the spilled contents. Estimated schedule (subject to change if required): Hot Trash Dumpsters = approximately 2 pulls per month for 52 pulls per year. Construction Dumpster = approximately 15 pulls per year as needed. Compactor Dumpster = approximately 12 pulls per year as needed. Food Waste Dumpster = approximately 312 pulls per year, 2 pulls per week. The award will be made to the responsible contractor who submits the most advantageous quote to the Government based on lowest price, technical acceptance and past performance. The Contracting Officer anticipates awarding an indefinite-delivery requirement type contract, with firm fixed unit pricing. The contract period shall consist of a 12-month base year with four (4) possible option years for renewal. Hard copies of this solicitation will not be available.
