Site visits to the facility are encouraged but not required and should be completed by February 26, 2026, with arrangements made through Bryan Hatlen. Evaluation and selection is anticipated to be completed by March 23, 2026.

The key clarification provided in this addendum addresses whether the awarded contractor must supply both the compactor units and receiver boxes.

The estimated total dollar value for one year ranges from $20,000 to $25,000, though this is not construed as a minimum or maximum obligation. Contractors must hold valid Solid Waste Hauler Licenses from the applicable county and maintain commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $2,000,000 per occurrence and annual aggregate, commercial automobile liability insurance of $2,000,000 combined single limit, and workers' compensation insurance meeting statutory requirements.
