Municipal Solid Waste: Scope of Work

1.0 PURPOSE

The purpose of this Agreement is for the disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated by and/or collected in the City of Atlanta ("City") by the Department of Public Works- Solid Waste Services ("DPW") and to provide either hauling and landfill disposal services or landfill only for wastes generated by and/or collected at Water Treatment Plants ("WTPs"), Water Reclamation Centers ("WRCs"), Water Quality Control Facility ("WQCF") and Combined Sewer Control Facilities ("CSCFs") by the Department of Watershed Management ("DWM").

2.0 GOALS

Infrastructure Requirements

Contractor shall operate the municipal solid waste transfer station to ensure continuous, reliable service for the City’s collection operations. Facility shall maintain capacity to manage daily and peak MSW volumes, with adequate equipment, staffing, and operational readiness. Upon recognizing any facility closures or failures, contractors shall implement contingency measures, including alternate transfer or disposal arrangements, to prevent any disruption to collection services in the event of equipment failure, facility downtime, or other operational issues. The Department of Public Works will provide a point of contact to approve the contingency plan for each occurrence.

Innovation Opportunities

Contractor shall identify and propose innovative solutions that enhance service delivery, improve environmental outcomes, and create economic value for the City. At a minimum, proposals shall address:

1. Integration – Opportunities to implement system integrations, such as APIs, that enable seamless data exchange between the Contractor’s systems and the City’s platforms, such as Oracle, ATL Connect, Routing Platforms, and data repositories for real-time reporting, performance monitoring, and corrective action tracking. Vendor must adhere to the City’s Atlanta Information Management (AIM) technology guidelines.

2. Waste Diversion – Initiatives to increase diversion from landfill, including enhanced materials recovery, organics processing, and reuse/recycling programs. Vendor to provide annual waste characterization information for City of Atlanta specific waste stream.

3. Waste-to-Energy – Feasible options for converting residual waste to renewable energy, fuels, or other beneficial products, in compliance with applicable regulations.

4. Revenue Sharing / Rate Impact – Mechanisms for revenue sharing with the city from recovered materials, energy generation, or other value streams, with the goal of reducing net disposal costs and stabilizing rates for residents.

5. Additional Innovative Practices – Contractor may propose other proven or emerging technologies, process improvements, or partnerships that improve operational sustainability, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, extend landfill life, or enhance public engagement in waste reduction efforts.

6. Public Education – Provide the city with quarterly waste industry feedback to influence communications with residents. Education may include but is not limited to subjects such as lithium battery disposal dangers, Perfluorooctanesulfonic Acids (PFOS) or “forever chemicals” implications, etc.

3.0 CURRENT WASTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM OVERVIEW

DPW Services

The Department of Public Works (DPW) provides solid waste services to over 100,000 residential households in the City of Atlanta.

Residential Solid Waste, collected by the city, is currently delivered to privately owned and operated transfer stations. These transfer stations are in unincorporated Cobb, Clayton, and Fulton Counties.

Office of Solid Waste Services (Lakewood & Maddox Park)

• Responsible for weekly curbside collection of residential solid waste, recycling, and yard trimmings, typically once per week using roll carts.

• Offers backyard service for qualified seniors (70 +, living alone, with physical limitation) upon application and physician verification.

• Manages bulk collection services, including pickup of bulky items scheduled via ATL311 or the city’s operations tool, with up to 12 pickups per year.

• Dumpster collection serves ~70 City-owned buildings, with container sizes ranging from 2–8 cubic yards; multi-family building dumpsters may be serviced up to twice weekly.

• Post Closure Landfill Management

Office of Special Services (Chester Avenue)

• Oversees common-good services separate from routine pickup, including:

o Street sweeping o Right-of-way maintenance (mowing and cleanup), dead animal removal, illegal dumping abatement, signage removal, and trash receptacle service in public areas.

Scrap tires are a major component of illegal dumping abatement.

o Support for special events & emergency operations management.

Locations of Operations

• Solid Waste Services - Maddox Park Solid Waste Facility (1120 North Avenue NW) and Lakewood Facility (128 Claire Drive SE)

• Special Services - Chester Avenue (315 Chester Avenue SE)

DWM -Wastes Generated

The DWM Drinking Water Treatment and Distribution System, Wastewater Collection, Conveyance and Treatment System and various other facilities generate either Ash, Grit and Screenings, Dewatered Solids, Construction and Demolition Debris, and Other Special Waste.

For DWM to efficiently operate these facilities in accordance with the applicable permit requirements, the waste streams must be removed from the facilities and disposed of legally and in accordance with applicable environmental requirements.

DWM Facility and operational records, including National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit records, for each WTPs and WRCs are available at each respective DWM Facility and can be provided upon request.

The City needs a Service Provider capable of furnishing all labor, equipment, tools, insurance, supervision, materials, and all other items necessary for proper management and disposal of the waste streams specified herein. The city will provide hauling services to the waste disposal facility for Treatment Waste.

TREATMENT WASTE DISPOSAL NEEDS Treatment Waste includes biosolids, grit, wastewater and water screenings, ash and similar materials from unit cleanouts: biosolids (e.g., sludge, cake, drinking water treatment residuals, thermal dried, etc.), ash (e.g., residual from incineration of biosolids), grit (e.g., sand, rocks, egg shells, coffee grounds, and similar materials), wastewater screenings (e.g., municipal solid waste contaminated with sewage), and water system influent screenings (e.g., leaves, plastic bottles, twigs, etc.).

The city generates the following approximate daily volume (in tons) of Treatment Waste:

•Biosolids = 500 (Wastewater Reclamation Centers); 46 (Water Treatment Plants)

•Ash = 36 Grit

•Wastewater/Water Screenings = 44 Unless otherwise specified, there isn’t a daily guaranteed volume of Treatment Waste as the city may have alternate disposal options available.

Sludge cake from the WTPs shall be dewatered to approximately 15% to 22% dry solids and sludge cake from the WRCs shall be dewatered to approximately 15% to 22% dry solids to meet the requirements for landfill disposal.

DWM regularly performs construction work on its water distribution system. As a result, DWM generates construction and demolition debris (C&D) daily. The quantity of waste generated is generally at the magnitude of 120 tons/month. There isn’t a daily guaranteed volume of C&D as the city may have alternate 1 disposal options available. C&D will be accepted at either Service Provider’s Plant Atkinson Transfer Station or Willow Oak Landfill. The city will provide hauling services to this waste disposal facility.

Service Provider must provide all labor, equipment, materials, tools, insurance, supervision, and all other items necessary and specified for proper management and disposal of the proposed waste streams specified herein.

6.0 WASTE DISPOSAL SERVICES TO BE PROCURED

The waste streams presented in Table 1 and Table 2 correspond to waste stream components that will be contracted through this solicitation. It should be noted that the tonnages presented within this document are provided for informational purposes. The City DPW does not guarantee that either the total amount or the subtotals listed by waste type will be available to the Service Provider(s).
