Sealed Proposals for Delivery to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College Perkinston Campus

The Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College is soliciting sealed proposals for comprehensive solid waste disposal services across six campus locations, with the initial contract period beginning November 1, 2025, and extending through June 30, 2026, with options for up to four additional one-year renewals contingent upon funding and performance. The procurement is managed through the college’s District Purchasing Office in Perkinston, MS, and proposals are due by 2:00 pm on October 15, 2025. Bidders must submit a complete proposal package that includes a signed original, a non-returnable electronic flash drive, and, optionally, electronic submission via Central Bidding. The proposal must follow the prescribed format, with all forms labeled and tabbed accordingly, and must remain valid for 90 days post-submission. The scope of work involves providing and maintaining various sizes of waste containers at each campus, ensuring regular cleaning (at least twice annually or as requested), and delivering uninterrupted service, including during work stoppages. Contractors are required to furnish proof of liability insurance with a minimum coverage of one million dollars, supply a landfill permit, and provide references from similar service providers. The evaluation process emphasizes cost, service understanding, company experience, references, and compliance with submission instructions, with award based on the best overall value rather than solely on price. The contract incorporates standard state and local terms, including a Public Entity Contract Addendum, and emphasizes strict adherence to service standards, insurance, and legal compliance, with no federal FAR clauses explicitly incorporated.
