Bid 8864 Refuse Roll Offs-Various Locations

The Pittsburgh Public School District is soliciting sealed bids for refuse roll-off container services across three locations, including Greenway Middle School, the Service Center, and as-needed placements within Pittsburgh city limits. The contract spans a three-year period from January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2029, with an option for the Purchasing Office to extend the term by up to three months to avoid coverage lapses. A critical performance requirement is that rubbish containers must be rotated within twelve hours of a service request made by the Chief of Plant Operations or their designee. Bids must be submitted by November 24, 2026, and must include an original signature to avoid being rendered null and void. Award decisions will be made during the December 23rd legislative meeting. Contractors are required to maintain specific insurance coverage, including 300,000 dollars in personal liability and 250,000 dollars per occurrence for property damage. Additionally, because the work is considered safety-sensitive, contractors must comply with the District's Substance Abuse Policy, which includes pre-access drug testing and a 0.04 percent alcohol cutoff level. Failure to adhere to these safety policies or reporting requirements may result in immediate contract termination.
