Trash Compactor Rental

The Big Muddy River Correctional Center, an agency of the State of Illinois, is soliciting a small purchase contract for the rental of one 30-yard self-contained trash compactor. The selected vendor is responsible for the delivery, set-up, and eventual removal of a commercially manufactured unit designed to prevent material spillage. All installation and removal activities must be coordinated with the Department of Corrections Chief Engineer, performed during normal business hours, and require a three-day advance notice. The vendor must adhere to all facility security rules, provide emergency contact information, and submit Material Safety Data sheets for any toxic substances to ensure compliance with the Illinois Toxic Substance Disclosure to Employees Act. Administratively, the contract requires monthly itemized invoicing submitted to the facility business office, with payments subject to approval by the Chief Engineer and Voucher Clerk. Bidders must provide a prevailing wage certification to be considered responsible, and expatriated entities are prohibited from bidding. Insurance requirements are stringent, requiring general commercial liability coverage of 10 million dollars per occurrence and 2 million dollars annual aggregate, along with legally mandated worker's compensation. The contract is subject to the availability of funds, may be partially or totally funded by federal sources, and falls under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Court of Claims and the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
