This document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Waste Reduction Authority (WRA) for a Waste-to-Energy Facility Design, Build, and Operate project. The WRA is seeking proposals from qualified firms to design, construct, and operate a waste-to-energy facility that will process up to 1,000 tons per day of municipal solid waste. The project overview includes site preparation, facility construction, installation of processing equipment, and operation of the facility for an initial 10-year term with options to extend for an additional two 5-year periods. Proposals are due by 2:00 PM on May 15, 2023, and a mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for April 20, 2023.

The RFP outlines pricing terms, including a fixed monthly operation fee and a per-ton waste processing charge. The project will be funded through a combination of state and local government grants, as well as revenues generated from the sale of electricity and recovered materials. The RFP includes provisions for small and minority-owned business participation, and the current incumbent operator's contract expires on June 30, 2023.
