Minimum Required Terms
To be considered responsive, a proposal must, at a minimum, address each of the following terms and conditions:
(a) Pricing for garbage collection two (2) times per week, on Monday and Thursday, together with pricing for recycling collection services, provided that recycling collection must occur on one (1) of the two (2) garbage collection days; and a separate, itemized rate shall be provided for (i) garbage collection and (ii) recycling collection;
(b) Two (2) separate pricing structures, reflecting: (a) collection bins (garbage and recycling) provided by the contractor as part of the contract price; and (b) collection bins purchased separately by the residents or the District;
(c) Identification of any days and/or holidays on which collection services will not be provided;
(d) The number and frequency of heavy trash (bulk item) pickups to be provided weekly; and
(e) A sample transition letter to be provided to residents in connection with the commencement of services under the new contract.
Proposals should be prepared in sufficient detail to allow the Board to fully evaluate the proposer’s qualifications, service approach, and pricing. The Board reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals, to waive informalities, and to negotiate final contract terms with the proposer(s) selected.
