Solid Waste Collection &

Recycling Services
RFP Number P-4-12-23
January 8, 2013

Background
There were five firms that submitted
proposals:
Advanced Disposal Services
Republic Services
Waste Management, Inc.
Waste Pro
WCA

Background
There were seven options submitted in each
proposal:
Base Option Status quo with two contracts
(north and south). Collection method is manual.
Option 1A Vendor purchased and County owned
carts for the north area.
Option 1B Vendor purchased and owned carts
for the north area.

Background
Option 2A Vendor purchased and County owned
carts for the south area.
Option 2B Vendor purchased and owned carts
for the south area.
Option 3A Vendor purchased and County owned
carts with one contract for all unincorporated
areas.
Option 3B - Vendor purchased and owned carts
with one contract in all unincorporated areas.
4

Background
There were two vendors that were eliminated in the
first round of presentations:
Advanced Disposal
Republic Services

WCA was eliminated in the second round of

presentations.
The options related to vendor-owned carts were
eliminated because there was no price differential
between vendor owned carts and County owned carts.
5

Background
Each proposal is based on the 2012 Collection
Billing Units submitted to the Tax Collector.
Billing units were increased at .5% per year for
projection purposes.
The COLA of 11.5% was spread equally over
the seven-year life of the contract.
6

Background
Recycling revenue is shown, but not deducted
from the cost, because of its variability.
For presentation purposes, billing units and
annual costs are rounded off.
Under all options, assessment notices will
have to be sent to all homeowners to indicate
increases.
7

Background
Base Bid refers to the same type of service
level (no carts; garbage collection twice a
week, recycling collection once a week, yard
waste collection once a week). The County
currently has two separate contracts.
Option 1A refers to the cart system for the
north area of the County.
8

Background
Option 2A refers to the cart system for the
south area of the County.
Option 3A refers to the cart system with one
contract for all of the unincorporated areas of
the County.
