8-1.2 SWM132986-1 Specifications.pdf

This is a specifications document for Salt Lake County Solid Waste Management's hauling contract (SWM132986-1) for transporting municipal solid waste from the Transfer Station to the Landfill. The service requires Monday through Friday availability from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with occasional Saturday availability from 7:00 AM through early afternoon, excluding New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day (though Saturday operations may be required after these holidays or during snow days with notice). The successful bidder must utilize walking floor trailers equipped with onboard scales to ensure proper loading within the Transfer Station tunnel and loading area, with truck and trailer combinations sized to accommodate the Transfer Station's unique dimensional constraints. The contractor must maintain sufficient personnel and equipment to haul all material daily and clear the Transfer Station floor completely, and must be capable of accommodating volume fluctuations. Accurate weights for billing purposes will be determined at either the Transfer Station outbound scale or the Landfill scale.

Pricing must remain firm for the first two years of the contract, with annual adjustments thereafter based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics Western Region. The bidder must agree to comply with Salt Lake County's standard Terms and Conditions and demonstrate capability to meet the County's estimated annual tonnage requirements. This contract represents a reissue of a previously cancelled solicitation, indicating the County's ongoing need for reliable solid waste hauling services.
