Secure Document Shredding Services

The City of Lakewood, Colorado, requires secure document shredding services to protect confidential information across its main campus and satellite locations. The agency is seeking a vendor to provide and maintain locked, secure 64-gallon bins and console cabinets, or equivalent containers, for the collection of sensitive materials. To resolve its document disposal needs, the agency requires off-site shredding with a certificate of destruction provided upon completion of each service. The scope of work covers the physical collection of materials on a regularly scheduled basis, with a preference for every four weeks. The selected provider must service all main campus buildings on the same day, and preferably all satellite locations on that same day as well. The agency also requires occasional pick-up of boxed materials and full bins upon request, minimal but reasonable restrictions on shredding materials, and the use of non-shredding trucks to avoid limiting what can be placed in the consoles. Operational requirements dictate that the provider must make a courtesy call to the city contact 30 to 60 minutes prior to arrival. Any changes to the established collection schedule must be communicated to the city at least five days before the scheduled pick-up. Only onshore organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this contract, and the performance of the shredding work must take place offsite. The agency is establishing a contract period of one year. Bidders must submit any questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 11, 2026. Responses to the solicitation can be submitted digitally via email or online, and the agency is looking for proposal pricing to determine the budget.
