Custodial Trash Liners and Paper Products

The Newark Board of Education is seeking a vendor to provide custodial trash liners and assorted paper products to its 74‑school district on an as‑needed, two‑year firm‑fixed‑price basis. The contract requires inside delivery to each school within 10 business days of a purchase order, with FOB Destination terms, and permits “brand‑name or equal” substitutions provided samples are supplied. No bid or performance bond is required, but the vendor must maintain $1 M general liability and auto insurance, and be listed as an additional insured. The award will go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with an anticipated award date of April 1 2026. • Supplies include trash bags, liners, paper towels and other daily custodial paper products; quantities are estimated and may increase up to 20 % above estimates. • Delivery must be made inside each school site within 10 business days of PO issuance; late delivery incurs $100/day liquidated damages. • Vendor must provide free samples for any alternate brands, retain quoted prices for the full two‑year term, and meet a 90‑day warranty and insurance requirements.
