security prior to entry into any secured locations.
2.4. Failure to Pickup Penalty: If the contractor is unable to pick up refuse on the regularly
scheduled day, they shall notify the agency. Failure to do so will result in a deduction from
the monthly charge equal to one fourth the monthly charge. No deductions will be made
without first notifying the contractor and giving them reasonable time to reply. If the
contractor fails to pick up a location on schedule, the trash must be collected by 11:00 a.m.
of the day following.
2.4.1. Holidays: When a pickup is scheduled on a national or state holiday, refuse shall be
picked up either the day before or the day following the holiday. At no time will the

accomplished in strict accordance with current applicable county; state and federal air and
water pollution control and refuse disposal regulations. If landfill banned material is
observed in the trash, or refuse the Vendor shall notify BGS and offending agency within
one week of the observance. The Vendor shall indicate the materials found, the container it
was found in, the location of the container, and the date the materials was observed in the
refuse.
2.5.1. The State of Vermont as part of the outcome expectation is to model effective
environmental stewardship.

additional charges will be allowed. Prices submitted shall include all tip fees in effect on the
beginning date of this contract, disposal fees and hauling charges. Proposers may submit
prices on any and all locations in which they can provide service.
2.6.1 Invoicing is provided monthly, in arrears, based on the per pick up rate. As an
example, $25.00 per pick up for 1xwk service the monthly charge would be $108.25
($25.00 x 4.33 = $108.25). If it was every other week service, the monthly rate is
$54.13 ($25.00 x 2.165 = $54.13). The 1xper month charge would be $25.00.
2.7. Compactors: All wiring, hoses, modifications required to operate compactors shall be at no
cost to the State. If required by the using agency, the compactor is to be designed with the
appropriate equipment to allow trash to be loaded into the compactor from an access

requests after May 15th will not be considered until May 15th, of the next calendar year.
2.10. Special Requirements Regarding Invoicing and Payments:
2.10.1. It will be a requirement of contracts that each and all invoices rendered by
contractors must precisely reflect actual per-pick-up costs, of the actual number of
pick-ups that actually occur during the actual date intervals covered by each
individual invoice. Contractors must not prepare or submit any invoices based on
any sort of averaging of what costs would be associated with some fictional average
month, nor any other method that departs from precise actuals.
2.10.2. If there are issues associated with payment of invoices, it is urgent that service
continue uninterrupted. If contractor believes that there is an unreasonable payment
delay or underpayment occurring, contractor shall give written notice to the
applicable Agency or Department of the State responsible for the particular site, with
a CC of that notice to the Purchasing Agent, within the Office of Purchasing and
Contracting, responsible for the waste contracts.
2.11. Stability of Proposed Prices: Any price offerings from proposers must be valid for a
period of 120 days from the due date of the proposals.
3. OUTCOMES: The expected outcome is to enter into a contractual relationship with a strategic long-
term business partner who will provide all services incidental to rubbish removal that will ensure the
highest degree of sanitation as well as maintaining the safety of personnel, staff and property.
Minimum outcomes include the following:
3.1. Develop other waste diversion and cost reduction initiatives.
3.2. Maintain or reduce existing trash service levels during program transition.
4. LANDFILL BANNED MATERIALS: The State of Vermont is committed to a safe and healthy
environment. The appropriate management of landfill banned materials protects human health and
the environment. Vendor will immediately notify service location and BGS of landfill banned items
and request removal before hauling. If something is hazardous, BGS will work with a solid waste
district or a hazardous waste contractor to ensure proper disposal of material. If it is something that
the hauler can assist with recycling (recyclables, scrap metal), then the hauler will work with
BGS/using agency to address issue. If there are three observances of landfilled banned material in
incorrect collection containers per service location then the Vendor can reject the entire load and bill
accordingly. Link to landfill banned items Link to landfill banned
