Addendum #1 - RFP - Solid Wast

This is Addendum #1 to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the City of St. Marys, Georgia for Residential Curbside Solid Waste and Recycling Services. The scope of services includes once-weekly residential curbside garbage collection, once-weekly yard debris collection, and once-weekly recycling collection, with contractor-provided carts and recycling bins. Bulk items and appliances will be collected on a call-in basis. The original RFP submission deadline is May 10, 2022 at 2:00 PM EST. A pre-proposal meeting has been scheduled for April 20, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. at City Hall, 418 Osborne Street, St. Marys, GA 31558. Responders are required to include the signed and dated Addendum #1 with their submittal.

The addendum modifies, corrects, and supplements the original RFP package but does not change the submission deadline. Residential solid waste must be placed in contractor-provided carts at curbside with no more than two additional personal bags or cans. Yard debris, typically not exceeding five cubic yards per residence weekly but potentially higher during certain seasons, should be placed at curbside and may be bagged or containerized. Recyclable materials are limited to #1-#2 plastic bottles and jugs, metal and aluminum cans, newspaper and inserts, brown paper bags, printed chipboard, and corrugated cardboard, with cardboard requiring flattening and cutting into 2'x3' pieces for placement under the recycling bin.
