Scope

Missouri Western State University (MWSU) is requesting contract services to pick-up and remove refuse from various

locations on the MWSU campus to begin July 1, 2026. Successful bidder will provide the following equipment and

services to insure safe and timely pick-up of all appropriate waste materials placed in proper containers supplied by

vendor. Once contract is awarded, you will be required to provide a certificate of liability listing Missouri Western State

University as an additional insured. Vendor must comply with all Federal, State and Local regulations and laws.

Bid Specification

Service will be provided daily except as noted in Attachment A. All containers must be serviced between the hours of 4

AM and 7 AM with as consistent route and time as possible. Certain areas will require containers with rollers and the

containers at Popplewell Hall will require moving the containers from inside the building. Spring Sports Complex

containers will need serviced February – April or otherwise requested. Spring Sports special events outside these service

dates will be serviced on an as needed basis when requested by MWSU.

Successful bidder will provide properly sized containers (must provide minimum of 90% of required capacity), in good

repair at all times. Poor conditioned or exceptionally dirty (as determined by MWSU) containers will be repaired, cleaned

or replaced upon MWSU’s request within one week of request.

Vendor will notify MWSU as quickly as possible in the event of delay in pick-up service by contacting the Physical Plant

at 271-4417. In the event a container is missed on the scheduled service route, the vendor will promptly dispatch a truck

to empty container when notified by MWSU. Failure to maintain containers in good repair and cleanliness, frequent

delays in service, or failure to empty containers within requested time-frame, can result in termination of the contract with

written notice from MWSU. Provide service contact information with bid.

Special Requests

In such instances as training camps, in the summer months, and dorm move-in/out, typically in August, December,

January, and April, there will be a need for relocation of containers, placement of additional containers, and additional

services. MWSU will provide as much advanced notice as possible.

Term

The contract period will be one (1) year beginning July 1, 2026 ending June 30, 2027 with the option to renew for two (2)

additional years upon mutual agreement.
