Roll-Off Container and Dumpster Services

The City of Akron is seeking fixed-price bids for roll-off container and dumpster services across various city locations from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2028, with the option for the City to cancel with a 30-day notice without liability for damages or additional costs. The contract encompasses a range of container sizes and service frequencies, including on-call, weekly, twice-weekly, and monthly schedules, with specific provisions for animal carcass disposal and tipping fees. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically via the Bonfire portal by November 3, 2025, and are responsible for monitoring posted clarifications and addenda. The procurement emphasizes compliance with local ordinances, OSHA standards, and equal employment opportunity policies, requiring submission of an EEO report and IRS W-9 form as part of the bid package. The contractual framework incorporates standard terms such as firm pricing for the contract duration, NET30 payment terms, and FOB destination delivery. It grants the City broad rights to inspect, reject, or return nonconforming goods or services and reserves the right to reject any or all bids, award to multiple responsible bidders, or split the award based on best interests. Key legal provisions include restrictions on assignment and subcontracting without prior approval, a prohibition on bid deviations, and clauses governing cancellation, debarment, safety standards, and confidentiality. The agreement is governed by Ohio law, with disputes resolved in Summit County courts. Notably, the contract does not specify federal clauses explicitly but references compliance with applicable state and local laws, emphasizing transparency, fair competition, and adherence to safety and ethical standards throughout the procurement process.
