Disposal and Recycling Bid

Schuyler County is soliciting bids for a three-year municipal solid waste disposal and recycling contract running from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2029. The scope of work includes waste removal from three locations: the County Office Building (three times per week), the Human Services Complex (twice per week), and the Highway Department (once per week), all utilizing 6-yard front-load containers. Additionally, recycling services for cardboard, paper, tin, plastic, and glass are required twice weekly at the County Office Building using a 4-yard container and at the Human Services Complex using a 6-yard container. Bidders must also provide pricing for drop-off box fees and per-ton charges for non-hazardous solid waste. The contract will be awarded based on a Best Value methodology to qualified, responsive, and responsible bidders. Key requirements include compliance with New York State governing law, adherence to a specific Prevailing Wage Schedule, and meeting Category II minimum insurance standards. Bidders must submit sealed envelopes containing the required bid forms and certificates of insurance by October 29, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. to the Schuyler County Legislature. Invoicing is conducted monthly and is contingent upon the submission of payroll records verifying prevailing wage compliance. The agreement includes a lame duck clause ensuring service continuity during transitions and allows the County to terminate work for safety violations.
