The National Park Service has awarded a firm-fixed-price commercial contract to Browning-Ferris (Republic Services) for solid waste and recycling removal services at Cuyahoga Valley National Park under solicitation number 140P6426Q0086. The award, valued at $13,945.72, is structured as a base year from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027, with four optional one-year extensions through June 30, 2031, covering ongoing waste and recycling collection across multiple park locations including the Central Maintenance Area in Brecksville and the Environmental Education Center in Peninsula. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to perform scheduled pickups, including weekly and bi-weekly collections for 10-yard and 8-yard containers for solid waste and commingled recyclables, as well as will-call service for a 20-yard roll-off container. Compliance with the detailed Statement of Work, applicable National Park Service regulations, and specific Department of Labor wage determinations for Cuyahoga and Summit Counties is mandatory, including proper classification of labor, adherence to uniform allowance rules that prevent wage reduction, and markings on waste containers that include a description of accepted items. The contract is subject to FAR Part 12 procedures, and award was made based on best value criteria, evaluating price reasonableness, technical capability, and prior experience with similar services. Offerors were required to be active in SAM with a valid UEI, and submissions had to include a fully completed SF-1449, price schedule, capabilities statement, three or more relevant references, and all required certifications. Invoicing must be processed electronically via the U.S. Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform, with no waivers granted unless timely submitted prior to proposal. Contract administration is handled by the NPS, MWR - Ohio MABO in Sagamore Hills, Ohio, with Colette Riegelmayer listed as the Contract Specialist, and a Contracting Officer’s Representative will be formally appointed after award. The acquisition is not set aside for small business concerns, despite references in the special requirements section indicating HUBZone and SDVOSB eligibility, and the NAICS code 562111 applies with a $47 million size standard.
