This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by Thomas County, Georgia's Purchasing Department for Disaster Debris Removal & Disposal services, with proposals due December 27, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. The RFP seeks to establish a four-year contract with two experienced firms to remove and lawfully dispose of disaster-generated debris from public property and rights of way, and to set up and operate Temporary Debris Staging and Reduction Sites (TDSRS) immediately after a disaster. The contract includes two optional 12-month extension periods if agreed upon by both parties. This is structured as a pre-event contract with no immediate cost to Thomas County.

Contractors must provide unit pricing for various debris removal services including vegetative collection, construction/demolition debris removal, hazardous stump removal, sand collection/screening, and marine debris removal. The contract requires $1,000,000 combined single limit liability insurance coverage and performance/payment bonds for the contract value. Contractors must submit qualifications including company history, experience, staffing details, and Dunn & Bradstreet ratings. The county will evaluate proposals based on factors beyond just price, including experience, technical capabilities, and past performance. The contract follows FEMA guidelines for debris removal operations and requires compliance with various state and federal regulations.
