Solid Waste Collection and Disposal Services at Possum Kingdom

The Brazos River Authority is soliciting bids for solid waste collection and disposal services within the Possum Kingdom Lake area under solicitation number 26-1401. The selected contractor will be responsible for providing all supervision, labor, and equipment to manage approximately 39 solid waste containers. Key deliverables include collecting front load dumpsters at least once weekly and hauling 40-yard roll-offs and compactors within three days of notification. All waste must be transported using sealed packer-type trucks that meet TXDOT and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality criteria and delivered to a TCEQ-compliant permitted sanitary landfill or transfer facility. The contract is for an initial one-year term with the possibility of four one-year renewals, for a total potential duration of five years. Bids are due by 10:00 AM on October 13, 2026, and may be submitted electronically via BidNet Direct or delivered as signed paper copies to the Brazos River Authority in Waco, Texas. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible respondent, with evaluations based on health, safety, business factors, and past performance. A critical requirement is that the contractor must self-perform 100 percent of the services, as the use of subcontractors or third-party haulers is strictly prohibited. Required submission documents include a bid form, W-9, Conflicts of Interest Questionnaire, Non-Collusion Affidavit, and Vendor Compliance to State Law form. Compensation is based on a time and materials structure up to a not-to-exceed contract price, with payments typically processed within 30 days of invoice acceptance.
