Part_8_Exhibits_-_Food_Waste_RFP_-_Proposed_Rates_Worksheets.xlsx

This is a proposed rates worksheet for the City of Gainesville, Florida's residential curbside food waste collection and processing services RFP (PWDA-260027-SM). The document provides bidding templates for three service level options: Sheet A3 for 3 service routes per week, Sheet A4 for 4 service routes per week, and Sheet A5 for 5 service routes per week. Each sheet requires contractors to propose monthly collection costs per unit and monthly processing costs per ton across five home volume tiers (0–700 homes, 701–2,500 homes, 2,501–5,000 homes, 5,001–10,000 homes, and 10,001–30,000 homes). Bidders may propose pricing for up to five fuel type options: diesel, compressed natural gas (CNG), electric, hybrid, and other alternative fuels. The service includes delivery of new carts or containers at no cost, contractor responsibility for all cart and container maintenance, and disabled backdoor service at no additional charge. Processing facilities must provide details regarding facility capabilities and end market destination, with costs either paid by the contractor or the City depending on compost or other material designation.

The pricing structure separates collection and processing costs, with actual monthly amounts fluctuating based on set-out percentage performance multiplied by contracted rates. Bidders must complete worksheets for their selected service frequency option(s) and fuel type(s), providing unit pricing for collection based on contracted homes and per-ton processing costs assuming 30 pounds per month per home (0.18 tons per home annually). The template includes summary total cost fields organized by home volume tier and fuel type for bid comparison purposes. No incumbent information, set-asides, or predetermined budget amounts are specified in this document, as pricing is to be evaluated competitively across all qualified bidders responding to the RFP.
