<title><![CDATA[RFP: Processing and Marketing of Single Stream Recyclables]]></title>
<link>http://www.springfieldcityhall.com/finance/bid-detail0.0.html?bid=200910-010</link>
<description><![CDATA[Bid: 10-010 - This Request for Proposals (RFP) is being issued by the City of Springfield (City) Purchasing Department on behalf of the City Department of Public Works to obtain technical and cost proposals from qualified vendors for processing and marketing of residential single stream recyclables generated within the City. 

The work to be performed under this contract will consist of acceptance, processing and marketing of single stream recyclables for the City in accordance with the provisions of this RFP.  The City prefers that the services include transfer and transportation from a site in or near Springfield, MA.   

The City is soliciting proposals for both short-term (5-year) and long-term (15 year) contract periods. 

The City has a population of 150,000 residents and covers an area of about 33 square miles.  The City\'s Department of Public Works currently operates a dual stream recycling program.  It includes every other week (EOW) residential curbside services for approximately 43,000 units in the City.  

The recycling program is currently a mix of primarily single and some multi-family units and small businesses. Recyclables are collected curbside in a dual stream system with fiber separated from containers. Also, the City is conducting a single stream pilot program involving 805 residents. The recyclables are collected EOW from 95 gallon wheeled carts that the residents place at the curb. Recycling tonnage in the single stream pilot area has increased from an average of 3.35 tons EOW to 6.51 tons EOW over a thirty-four week period to date. See Appendix D for tonnages.  

The City is planning to convert the city-wide dual stream recycling program to a single stream system consisting of mixed fiber and mixed containers under the right price, terms and performance conditions.  The exact materials collected will be determined by what is accepted at the selected merchant material recycling facility (MRF) or transfer station, but at a minimum it should be what is collected currently.  See Section III, C.2 for a complete list of materials currently collected. Also, visit www.springfieldmrf.org . 

All proposals submitted for consideration must contain a bid bond in the amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00).  This Bid Bond must be in the form of a certified check drawn on a solvent bank or by an approved surety company licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts payable to the City of Springfield otherwise meeting the requirements of the proposal documents.
