Refuse Collection
MICC-Fort Buchanan is conducting market research to identify small and other business concerns capable of providing non-personal solid waste management services at U.S. Army Garrison Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico; this sources-sought effort is for planning only and does not commit the Government to award a contract. The anticipated requirement covers collection, transportation, diversion, and disposal of non-hazardous municipal solid waste from commercial, industrial, housing, and community areas, with disposal at an appropriately permitted Subtitle D landfill in Puerto Rico and contractor responsibility for disposal and tipping fees. The contractor would furnish personnel, supervision, vehicles, equipment, containers, and other resources; maintain scheduled and unscheduled refuse service; manage container maintenance and cleaning; remove litter and spills; develop approved routes and schedules; support surges, events, storms, disasters, closures, and emergencies; and provide service-data reports. Collection must avoid prohibited materials such as hazardous waste, regulated medical waste, ammunition, explosives, firearms, and asbestos, and the contractor must maintain service continuity during breakdowns or increased demand. Interested firms are asked to provide a capability statement covering business and SAM registration status, size and socioeconomic status under NAICS 562111, comparable experience, permitted disposal facilities and equipment availability in Puerto Rico, surge/storm/emergency response capability, and recommended commercial or acquisition practices.
