Solid Waste Hauling & Transportation Services

Seminole County is soliciting bids under IFB-5302-26/RLH to establish a three-year term contract for on-demand transportation services of recyclable materials, municipal solid waste, and yard waste from the County Central Transfer Station to designated processing and disposal facilities. The contract is divided into three material lots: Lot 1 for single-stream recyclables, Lot 2 for municipal solid waste destined for the Osceola Road Landfill, and Lot 3 for yard waste. Bidders can choose between two equipment schedules, providing either their own tractors to pull County-supplied trailers or providing both the tractors and trailers. The agreement includes options for two successive one-year renewals and requires contractors to provide all labor, fuel, insurance, and tolls. Awarding will be based on the lowest responsible bidder, with evaluation criteria focusing on capability, financial stability, and a minimum of three satisfactory years of similar experience. Contractors must adhere to strict equipment specifications, including compatibility with 45-foot moving floor transfer trailers and 2027 Western Star 49X tractor benchmarks. Mandatory requirements include comprehensive insurance coverage, E-Verify registration, and compliance with FEMA contract terms for federal funding eligibility. All drivers must be CDL qualified and complete a County safety orientation. The bid submission deadline is September 16, 2026, with the contract governed by the Seminole County Purchasing Code and standard legal agreements.
