Trash Removal Services

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority is seeking a non-exclusive contractor for trash removal services at Orlando International Airport through solicitation 26-720-ITN. This five-year contract, anticipated to begin around January 1, 2027, requires the provider to furnish all labor, equipment, and containers for the collection and removal of wet and dry waste, refuse, and recyclables. A key component of the scope includes the removal of recyclable cardboard bales, for which the contractor must pay the Aviation Authority the most advantageous market price. The contractor is responsible for maintaining a monthly service completion rate of 98 percent or higher and providing 24/7 availability, with emergency requests requiring acknowledgment immediately and completion within four hours. The contract mandates strict equipment standards, including the use of blue containers for trash and green for recycling, with specific GOAA branding and safety placards. All containers at airfield locations must have closable lids to prevent Foreign Object Damage. Performance is monitored via Service Level Agreements, and failure to meet requirements—such as bi-weekly sanitization or timely equipment repair—will result in monetary penalties ranging from 250 to 500 dollars per incident or day. Award decisions are based on best value, evaluating respondents on a 0-5 scale across experience, qualifications, and price. Applicants must provide a letter of bondability and certify compliance with public entity crime and unmanned aircraft system regulations, while also meeting goals for Veteran Owned and Local Developing Business participation.
