Additional Question:

In PWS C. General Requirements:

Specific Task:

6.The contractor shall comply with all current county or municipal, state, and federal laws, regulations and guidelines when collecting, storing, removing, transporting, disposing of and/or recycling all wastes under the scope of this contract. Includes Hillsborough County Ordinance 96-34.

8) Pertaining to Item Number 0005 and 0005A plus following option years.

I was informed yard waste cannot be placed into a Front End Load (FEL) Container. It must be delivered separately in a roll off to Hillsborough County. FELs are MSW only in Hillsborough County. Yard waste cannot be mixed with MSW.

Our grounds team currently uses a 30-yard open top container for yard brush. Located next to the yard brush open top container are two 8-yard front end load containers for recycling as well as one 8-yard front load container for trash. The FEL for trash is necessary for the grounds personnel to empty their small ground sweeper. The sweeper would not be able to reach high enough to empty into an open top container.

9) Will Item Number 0005 and 0005A plus following option years be removed from this RFQ or will another 30cy roll-off be added?

A second 30 cy roll-off is not needed for yard waste at this time.
