Special Waste Disposal Services

The City of Hialeah is soliciting qualified waste haulers to provide special waste hauling and disposal services in support of its Streets Division stormwater drain cleaning operations. The contract is limited to services performed within Hialeah, Florida, with a performance period of up to five years, including a one-year base term and four optional one-year renewals. All work must be completed substantially within 365 days of the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $500 per day assessed for delays. The solicitation, numbered 2025-26-043 and posted on May 3, 2026, has a response deadline of June 2, 2026, and requires all submissions through the City's e-Procurement Portal, with no paper submissions accepted. The award will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, prioritizing responsive and responsible offerors with reasonable pricing after meeting minimum technical requirements. Proposals must include certifications covering non-collusion, E-Verify compliance, drug-free workplace adherence, human trafficking prevention, equal employment opportunity, ownership disclosures, background check consent, and insurance documentation, all submitted as PDFs with digital signatures. The contractor must provide detailed packing slips with purchase order numbers, delivery dates, and item lists for every shipment, though no packaging or preservation standards beyond this are specified. All vehicles and equipment must be maintained in safe, sanitary condition, free of leaks, and operated by drivers holding valid Florida licenses. The City retains inspection rights throughout the contract term and may reject personnel deemed unsuitable. Conflict of interest provisions prohibit City employees from holding significant ownership stakes in the contractor and require full disclosure of any ties to City officials or lobbying activities over the past five years. While line items for non-hazardous and hazardous special waste disposal are listed, no unit prices or estimated contract value is provided. Payment will be processed via email or U.S. mail, with no electronic federal invoicing systems authorized. The solicitation does not require a UEI or CAGE code, nor does it include federal socioeconomic set-asides, but does offer a local business preference for Hialeah-based entities.
