The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is soliciting bids for refuse and trash collection, removal, and disposal services at Lake Casa Blanca State Park in Laredo, Texas, under solicitation number 802-27-76986, with a response deadline of August 19, 2026. The contract requires the contractor to furnish, install, and maintain trash containers that meet strict specifications: they must be undamaged, leakproof, insect and rodent resistant with secure lids, painted only brown or green or another color approved by TPWD, and free of graffiti except for the contractor’s logo. Plastic and rubber containers are explicitly prohibited. Services include twice-weekly pickups for 22 containers of four cubic yards, five containers of six cubic yards, and four containers of two cubic yards, all servicing regardless of fill level, between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM CT Monday through Friday, with waste disposed of only in government-approved landfills. The contract term runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2028, with an option for up to three one-year renewals contingent on funding, performance, and mutual agreement. Bids must be submitted via email or sealed delivery to TPWD in Austin, and failure to include the signed bid form, Exhibit A (Company Profile), and Exhibit B (three past project references from the last five years) will result in disqualification. Pricing must be submitted per month for each container size with a separate unit price for unscheduled pickups, with quotes FOB destination and freight prepaid. Award will be based on best value, factoring in price, ability and experience, delivery schedule, past performance, life cycle costs, and installation costs, with TPWD serving as the sole evaluator.
