The County of Kaua’i is soliciting bids via its Public Purchase System for the removal and processing of used vehicle tires from designated county facilities under Solicitation Number 4111, with responses due by 3:00 p.m. Hawai‘i Standard Time on September 4, 2026. All bids must be submitted electronically through the Public Purchase System, and only registered Public Purchase Vendors within the Hawaii Region and Kauai County Agency may respond. This is an Invitation for Bids governed by HRS Chapter 103D, and award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder whose proposal fully meets all technical and procedural requirements. The contractor must furnish all labor, equipment, materials, and services necessary to collect, transport, and process tires from specified county waste facilities, with work performed at locations designated by the Director of Finance. The contract price includes all freight, handling, and delivery charges under F.O.B. destination terms. Contractors must comply with numerous local legal requirements, including non-discrimination provisions, wage standards tied to public officer pay rates for contracts over $25,000, tax clearance from state and federal authorities, and adherence to Hawai‘i Revised Statutes regarding campaign contributions and accessibility of materials. Performance must conform to the General Terms and Conditions issued in July 2016, which include provisions for change orders, liquidated damages, contract modifications, and audit rights requiring retention of records for three years after final payment. The contractor is also subject to verification of compliance via Hawai‘i Compliance Express and must provide a Certificate of Cost or Pricing Data if the bid exceeds $100,000. Payment will be processed within 30 days of a proper invoice submitted through the County’s electronic Procurement Processing System, subject to verification of satisfactory performance by the Officer-in-Charge. No federal FAR clauses apply; governance is entirely within the County’s local procurement framework. Participation requires strict adherence to electronic submission rules, with no paper or non-PPS submissions permitted, and failure to meet any solicitation requirement results in automatic rejection.
