PWS 1.0 Background on the Government’s Requirement

The Bureau of Land Management's Mother Lode Field and California State Offices will sponsor a tire amnesty event in Placer County.

The Mother Lode Field Office (MLFO) is directly responsible for the management of approximately 230,000 acres of public land scattered throughout fourteen central California counties. Most of the acreage is within the historic Mother Lode region of the Sierra Nevada range. The MLFO HazMat program responds to the presence of hazardous substances/waste and physical hazards on BLM administered land. These responses may occur at, but not limited to, Abandoned Mine Land (AML) sites, recreation areas, illegal dumps, or along rights-of-way. Many of the responses are imperative to address health/safety and environmental concerns. As a federal landowner, BLM is responsible for complying with applicable state and federal laws and regulations. Not complying with orders from other regulators can subject the BLM to penalties and fines.

The overall objective of the MLFO's Hazmat program is to protect public health and safety and the environment. Releases or threats of release, of hazardous substances, can have substantial impact on the environment and the public’s health and safety. By remediating hazmat sites, BLM is eliminating the potential threat to human health and the environment.

Each year 40.2 million waste tires are produced in California. Many are left along roads, in rivers and streams or stored in yards and garages. That is why BLM is partnering with Placer County Environmental Health, Placer County Department of Public Works, and Recology to host a free Waste Tire Amnesty Collection Event.

Since 2012, BLM has been assisting Nevada County in sponsoring an amnesty event. Between 2012 and 2024, approximately 68,542 tires have been collected. In May 2024, the BLM, Placer County, and Recology held the first tire amnesty event in Placer County. During the 5-day event, 2,169 tires were collected.

The primary purpose of this contract will be to host a tire amnesty event for the residents of Placer County to freely dispose of tires.
