008-FY25 Solid Waste Management RFP

Campbell County, Virginia, through its Board of Supervisors, is seeking proposals for a comprehensive solid waste management contract that will span 25 years beginning in 2029. The Request for Proposals (RFP), identified as 008-FY25, solicits detailed plans from interested parties for managing the county's solid waste infrastructure and services. The procurement specifically aims to transition from the current waste management approach to a new system that may include a transfer station, potential material recovery facility (MRF), and enhanced recycling capabilities. Proposals are due by November 6, 2024, and must provide a comprehensive strategy for waste collection, transportation, disposal, and potential recycling programs. The county has developed a 5-Year Tactical Plan that outlines six critical phases for development: Siting and Budgeting, Planning and Design, Permitting and Approvals, Procurement and Engineering Design, Construction and Commissioning, and Operational Transition.

While the RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises, the technical documentation suggests significant potential investment in the solid waste management system. The estimated annual operating costs are projected at approximately $6.13 million, with $3.94 million allocated for hauling and disposal. The county is considering various implementation scenarios, including sole county ownership or regional participation through the Region 2000 Services Authority. The proposed infrastructure could potentially include a transfer station, a material recovery facility, organic waste composting, and glass processing capabilities. The technical memorandum prepared by Gershman, Brickner & Bratton, Inc. indicates the county is exploring options to increase waste diversion rates, with potential recycling recovery targets up to 40% of the total waste stream. The overall capital and operational investments suggest a significant opportunity for vendors with expertise in comprehensive solid waste management systems.
