Environmental Compliance Practices - Salt Lake County Solid Waste Management

This document is an environmental compliance practices file related to a Request for Proposal (RFC) issued by Salt Lake County Contracts and Procurement on behalf of Solid Waste Management for hauling municipal solid waste from a transfer station to a landfill. The service requires hauling operations Monday through Friday, excluding New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day, with occasional Saturday operations including days following major holidays or due to snow closures. Operations commence at 7:00 AM for loading at the Transfer Station (located at 3300 S 502 W Salt Lake City, Utah 84101) and conclude with a 6:00 PM final delivery cutoff at the Landfill, with Saturday hours generally running from 7:00 AM to early afternoon. The successful bidder must possess the necessary personnel and equipment to haul all material daily, ensuring the Transfer Station floor is completely cleared of waste. A mandatory site visit and pre-bid meeting are scheduled as specified in the Bonfire portal at the Transfer Station Conference Room, with bidder attendance strongly encouraged though not technically mandatory. Bidders are responsible for thoroughly familiarizing themselves with all bid documents and specifications prior to the pre-bid meeting.

The RFC specifies that walking floor trailers are the required hauling method, and truck/trailer combinations must be equipped with onboard scales to ensure proper loading at the Transfer Station tunnel. Equipment dimensions must accommodate the unique specifications of the Transfer Station tunnel and loading area. Accurate weight documentation for billing purposes will be determined using either the Transfer Station outbound scale or a scale at the Landfill. The successful bidder must demonstrate capacity to accommodate volume fluctuations and maintain operational flexibility to meet daily hauling requirements throughout the contract term.

Attachment D - Environmental Compliance Practices

Vendor Compliance Statement and Non-Debarment Certification

1. Salt Lake County has implemented environmentally responsible procurement practices. The County requires all persons, businesses, corporations and other entities doing business or entering into a contract with the County to comply with all federal, state and local environmental laws, rules and regulations. Compliance with environmental laws, rules and regulations is a relevant factor in evaluating the integrity and responsibility of a business. The county, in its sole discretion, may not solicit proposals from, award contracts to, procure, or otherwise enter into business arrangements with any person, business, corporation or other organization that is noncompliant. If a vendor is suspended, proposed for debarment, debarred, ineligible or excluded from contracting with another government entity due to environmental non-compliance, the County in its sole discretion, may deem the vendor non-responsible and decline to award a contract.

2. Based on the foregoing, the vendor certifies, to the best of its knowledge, that neither the vendor nor any owner, officer or agent of the vendor:

2.1 is presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or excluded from the award of a contract or purchase by any federal, state or local agency based on a finding, determination, notice of violation or order of environmental non-compliance;

2.2 is presently indicted or charged by a government entity in a criminal, civil or administrative proceeding with the commission of any offense, violation, or failure to comply with any federal, state, or local environmental law, rule or regulation, indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor;

2.3 has, within the last three (3) years, been convicted, or had a civil judgment or administrative order rendered against it for any offense or violation, including but not limited to environmental noncompliance, indicating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor;

2.4 has, within the last three (3) years, had a contract/purchase terminated due to an act or omission, including but not limited to environmental non-compliance, demonstrating a lack of business integrity or business honesty affecting its responsibility as a county vendor.

3. Vendor shall require any sub-vendor to disclose in writing, whether at the time of the award of the subcontract, the sub-vendor complies with the certification requirements in subparagraphs 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 above.

4. Vendor shall immediately notify the county in writing if, at any time before the award, the vendor learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has since become erroneous because of changed circumstances.

5. If it is later determined that vendor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification under this provision, in addition to other available remedies, the county in its sole discretion, may terminate the contract/purchase for default.
