The premise of this memorandum is to advise of the City’s upcoming solicitation for Solid Waste Services. The solicitation will request proposals to supply all labor, equipment, materials, transportation, fuel, and supervision necessary to provide collection and disposal services for solid waste, bulk trash, and recyclables. The successful proposal will be required to supply the City with an adequate number of containers, which include compactors, roll-offs, dumpsters, and 96 gallon branded totes at various locations around the City.
In preparation for this solicitation, a series of meetings occurred in the late Fall with Council and the community to obtain their input concerning the quality of solid waste services along with other services. Overall positive feedback and the desire for continuing the outside contracting of these services were obtained from public input.
The current contract term is five years with one additional five-year renewal option. All contract renewals have been exhausted and the City’s contract with Waste Management will expire in September 2021. It is anticipated the solicitation will be published by no later than February 1, 2021.
