Subject:
Public Bid Opening for Request for Proposals for Recycling
Services
Statement of Issue:
The Department of Public Works (Public Works) has issued a Request for Proposals
(RFP) for operations of its recycling programs. This includes the operations and
management of the County's material collection sites as well as the operation of the
Moderate Risk Waste Facility.
Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's & Con's:
A turnaround in commodities pricing for recyclables will likely yield contract
conditions more favorable to the County through a RFP rather than a long-term
contract extension under current terms and conditions.
FiscallmpactlCost Benefit Analysis:
Costs associated with an RFP process are budgeted for in the approved 2010 budget.
Recommendation:
Direct Public Works to open bids received for a RFP for Recycling and Moderate Risk
Waste Facility Operations Services.
