As of March 24, 2022, This project has been cancelled. No definite date for the rebid.
The scope of this contract includes the removal and disposal of illegally dumped items within county
rights-of-Way located within the boundaries of Harris County Precinct 1 on an on-call, as-needed basis.
For the purposes of this contract, county right-of-way is determined as any road right-of way including
any ditches, curb and gutter, and/or sidewalks, any other county managed public rights-of-way and/or
easements, County Parks, alleyway and other areas designated by the County.
The contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, fuel, and other items necessary to load, transport and
dispose of debris from County rights-of-way to a County approved landfill or other disposal facility. The
final disposal of all debris shall be in accordance with all Local, State, and Federal regulations.
Within this contract debris to be removed is categorized as, but is not limited to, the following:
o Vegetative Debris
o Construction Debris

Additionally, specific categories of debris will be considered "Special Debris". Removal and disposal of
these items will be subject to additional payment. Categories of debris considered to be "Special Debris"
include the following:

The Contractor shall contact the appropriate HCSO patrol district to have any abandoned vehicles tagged

removal and disposal operations, once the vehicles are removed, the Contractor will be responsible for
removing any debris that was initially inaccessible due to the abandoned vehicles. For abandoned vehicles
that are obstructing traffic, the county will be responsible for removing and towing to the appropriate
destination(s) for impounding.
