DEP.BAW.RFR.SMRF.FY19.BD.BAW01.34496.SMRF2005-2015.AMEND.NO3.FINAL.VER.pdf

This document is an amendment to a Request for Responses (RFR) issued by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) for a private operator to process and market recyclables from the Western Massachusetts Regional Recycling Program. The RFR seeks a contractor to receive, process, and market over 40,000 tons of recyclables annually from 74 communities in western Massachusetts, including Hampden County and the City of Springfield. The contract term is five years with options to renew. Responses are due on a specified date, and a pre-bid conference will be held.

The amendment provides additional details on the pricing terms, which include a per-ton processing fee and potential revenue sharing from the sale of the recyclable materials. The RFR has no set-asides, and the incumbent contractor may respond. Funding for the contract will come from the MassDEP's operating budget, with no specific allocation amount provided.
