Annual Contract for Trash Removal Services

Tarrant County is seeking bids to establish an annual trash removal services contract covering multiple county locations, with container sizes and pickup fees to be determined. The contract will initially be awarded for a twelve-month period, starting from the date of award or notice to proceed, with the possibility of two additional one-year renewals contingent upon mutual agreement and vendor compliance with renewal documentation requirements. Prices must remain fixed throughout the contract duration. Bidders are required to submit comprehensive proposals covering all items to be considered, and must adhere to the county’s special terms and conditions, which include stringent security protocols such as criminal background checks for personnel accessing county facilities or data, confidentiality measures, breach notification procedures, and data residency within the United States. The general terms and conditions emphasize compliance, invoice processing, and audit rights, while the HUB policy promotes inclusion and equal opportunity for certified Historically Underutilized Businesses, targeting a 20% participation goal. The contract's scope aligns with NAICS code 562111, and the procurement process is managed by Senior Buyer Niki Jones, with responses due by July 24, 2025. The comprehensive documentation ensures that vendors understand the legal, security, and diversity requirements essential for engagement with Tarrant County.
