This Award Information file documents the contract award for Sanitation Collection Services solicited by the City of Emerson, Georgia, with the award given to Pittman. The City of Emerson issued a sealed proposal solicitation for comprehensive sanitation collection services with a proposal deadline of April 26, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. and a question deadline of April 5, 2023. The scope of work encompasses residential curbside solid waste collection with options for either replacing all 65-gallon containers with 95-gallon containers or continuing use of 65-gallon containers with replacement as needed, along with weekly and bi-weekly green waste collection, bulk waste collection, and commercial services. Commercial services include front-load service in 2, 4, 6, and 8 cubic yard containers; roll-off service for open-top containers in 20, 30, and 40 cubic yard sizes; and cart and compactor services. Service delivery requirements include 48-hour rollout cart delivery and 24-hour resolution of service issues. Three addenda were issued during the solicitation period, with all addenda requiring acknowledgment in proposals or risk rejection.

Proposals required submission of a certified check or acceptable proposal bond of not less than five percent of the bid amount payable to the City of Emerson, with a performance bond to be calculated based on an estimated annual contract amount to be negotiated with the successful contractor. The City currently covers disposal costs for municipal solid waste, bulk waste, and green waste. Commercial pricing must separately itemize haul rates and disposal rates per ton for roll-off and compactor services, with options for 1x to 5x weekly pickups. The City reserves the right to select services a la carte or offer all services based on citizen benefit and reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, waive informalities, re-advertise, and reopen bidding if all proposals exceed available funding. The contract term and renewal options were subject to negotiation with the successful contractor.
