23-040 Contract for the Purchase and Hauling of Recyclable Cardboard

The Floyd County Board of Commissioners in Georgia is seeking sealed bids for a one-year contract, with the option to renew annually for up to five years, for the purchase and hauling of recyclable cardboard. The County requires a minimum of 40,000 lbs. and a maximum of 44,000 lbs. of old corrugated cardboard (OCC) to be generated weekly. Bidders must be qualified companies capable of providing these services and are encouraged to schedule a site visit prior to submitting their bids. Pricing for the OCC is expected to be based on the current RISI index plus a premium for the Southeast U.S. region, and the County will evaluate factors such as price, service history, delivery/loading capabilities, and turnaround time. Bids are due by 2:00 PM on November 1, 2023, and must be submitted through the Bonfire platform.

The procurement documents do not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor or current contractor is not listed, and the available budget or award value range is not provided. Bidders have the option to propose a local delivery solution where a portion of the total tonnage is delivered to a facility within a 30-mile radius of the Recycling Center, and payment terms include a 30-day net due upon receipt of invoice, with a preference for payment by check.
