About this file
This is a recycling material classification document for the City of Bradenton, Florida's comprehensive recycling processing services procurement (RFP #25-037EJ). The City of Bradenton is soliciting proposals for weekly curbside collection and processing services for residential customers using single-stream recycling carts, multi-family services utilizing dumpsters or compactors, and optional commercial customer services. The recyclable materials accepted include fifteen distinct categories: newspaper, corrugated cardboard, magazines and catalogs, mixed recyclable paper, aseptic containers, PET bottles (#1), natural and colored HDPE bottles (#2), non-bottle PET and HDPE containers, polypropylene containers (#5), other plastic containers (#3, #4, #6, #7), tin/steel cans, aluminum cans, and glass containers. All collected materials must be processed at a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) located within ten miles of Bradenton. The proposal submission deadline is August 13, 2025 at 2:30 pm, with an anticipated contract award on September 24, 2025. The resulting agreement will be for an initial five-year term with two optional one-year renewals.
The compensation model features a processing fee of $100 per ton with a revenue-sharing mechanism adjusting based on the Average Market Value (AMV) of recyclables; if AMV exceeds the processing fee, the contractor pays the city 60% of the difference, and if AMV falls below the processing fee, the city compensates the contractor. The sample calculation references a monthly recyclable volume of 2,000 tons. Proposers must demonstrate qualifications and experience (40% of evaluation score), provide a comprehensive project approach (40% of evaluation score), and present competitive compensation (20% of evaluation score). Required submissions include Florida business registration, drug-free workplace certification, and compliance with scrutinized companies regulations. No specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are indicated, and no incumbent vendor is identified, suggesting an open competition with an established existing recycling infrastructure and Materials Recovery Facility.
