DCR 004 Portable Toilet Services

The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation is soliciting responses for a fee-for-service contract to provide portable toilet services for special events, beach areas, and parks. The scope includes the rental, leasing, and purchase of three product categories: standard and ADA-compliant portable units, environmentally preferable composting toilets, and office trailer restroom systems. The contract is designed for an initial three-year term with one optional two-year renewal, for a maximum duration of five years. Up to three contractors may be selected based on a best value evaluation, with a strong preference for participants in the Small Business Purchasing Program. Award criteria include prompt pay discounts, availability, experience, examples of work, and commitments to supplier diversity and environmental sustainability. Bidders must provide detailed pricing across five regional zones and adhere to strict delivery timelines, such as three business days for standard units and ten business days for composting units. Mandatory submission requirements include a completed Bidder Response Form, a Supplier Diversity Program plan, and evidence of general liability insurance. All units must be commercial grade, meet federal and state safety standards, and be delivered in a ready-to-use condition.
