Dumpster Purchase and Delivery - Bear Resistant 4-yard Rear Loading

The contract involves the purchase and delivery of twelve 4-yard bear-resistant rear loading dumpsters to Bear Mountain State Park in the Palisades Region, specifically at Iona Island. The dumpsters are to be metal, forest green in color, with lockable access doors, a drain hole, and designed to be as close to bear-proof as possible. Out of the twelve dumpsters, ten will not have casters, while two will be equipped with them, and all must meet specified safety and durability standards. The delivery is scheduled for a four-month period, with a due date for proposals set for October 31, 2024, at 10:00 AM. The procurement is managed by the NYS Office of Parks Recreation & Historic Preservation, with the project located in Rockland County. Interested vendors must complete the RFQ documents and submit their proposals directly to the designated contact, as no sealed bids will be accepted. The contract value is estimated to range between $24,000 and $36,000. The procurement does not prioritize service-disabled veteran-owned, minority-owned, women-owned, or disadvantaged business entities, as the set-aside goals are all zero percent. Past vendors with similar contracts include Bericuda Bins Inc. and Vasso Systems Inc. The goods or services have previously been purchased from out-of-state or foreign vendors within the last three years. This opportunity is part of a broader effort to enhance waste management at the park with durable, bear-resistant containers.
