Bear Resistant Carts

The City of Asheville is seeking a qualified vendor to provide new, bear‑resistant trash/recycling carts for municipal waste collection. This is a sealed‑bid, one‑year term contract with two optional one‑year renewals, awarded to the lowest responsible bidder that meets the technical specifications and warranty requirements. The solicitation calls for two cart sizes (approximately 95‑gallon and 64‑gallon), with an estimated annual demand of 420‑630 units of the larger cart and about 50 units of the smaller cart, shipped in full truckloads. Delivery costs must be included in the unit price, and a minimum five‑year warranty is required.
