Scrap Tire Hauling

The Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency is soliciting bids for scrap tire hauling services to transport tires from its facility at 2600 Buckman Road in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to the State Rubber and Environmental Solutions recycling facility in Denver City, Texas. The primary objective is the rapid removal of passenger and truck tires to mitigate fire risks, pollution, and disease vector breeding. Based on historical data from 2023 to 2025, the agency handles hundreds of thousands of pounds of scrap tires annually, with an average load weight of approximately 13 tons. To maximize payload, the agency requires the use of open-top trailers with a minimum length of 48 feet and a capacity of roughly 123 cubic yards. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with evaluations based on unit and extended pricing, historical usage, and total cost of ownership. Bidders must be registered haulers in both New Mexico and Texas and must comply with all local, state, and federal laws, including the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Key requirements include the provision of workers' compensation benefits, the submission of a New Mexico Business Tax Identification Number, and the return of fully executed manifests for operational records. Performance is on-demand, with the agency contacting the hauler when loads are ready for pickup, and purchase orders typically expire on June 30 of each fiscal year.
