Waste Removal Services

This solicitation, identified as FM 26-052, is issued by the City of Avondale’s Facilities Management department to establish an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for waste removal services within the City of Avondale, Arizona. The contract covers furnishing and delivering various waste removal activities as detailed in the Scope of Work, which include container delivery and pickup, bulky waste collection, hazardous and electronic waste disposal, and recycling services. Performance is required on an as-needed basis with response times varying from 24 hours for emergency services to next business day for routine or missed services. Deliveries are F.O.B. destination, prepaid, and performed at City-owned facilities and designated locations across Avondale. Proposals must be submitted electronically by May 14, 2026, and evaluation prioritizes compliance with scope, bidder qualifications, and price in that order, indicating a trade-off award process. The contract imposes several administrative and operational requirements including vendor responsibility for proper packaging and marking aligned with carrier tariffs, City inspection and acceptance at destination points, and established performance standards without explicit reference to external federal or military standards. Key administrative terms address security background checks for personnel, use and return of access devices, and compliance with local procurement codes and regulations. While no federal FAR clauses are incorporated, the contract includes provisions addressing organizational conflicts of interest, non-exclusivity, cooperative purchasing access for authorized entities, and mandates contractor disclosures related to artificial intelligence use, forced labor prohibitions, and compliance with Arizona’s anti-boycott laws regarding Israel. Required vendor certifications focus on local business licensing and disadvantaged or woman-owned enterprise status where applicable, with W-9 and Arizona corporation registrations mandated. Pricing is organized by service type and container size but remains unpopulated, reflecting an open solicitation for vendor bids rather than a fixed-price contract. Payment terms stipulate invoicing to the City's accounts payable with payment within 30 days of invoice approval. Overall, this contract offers a flexible waste removal framework designed to accommodate varied municipal service needs in Avondale supported by comprehensive administrative oversight and compliance standards.
