25-030 electronic waste services

Floyd County Board of Commissioners is seeking electronic waste services through Bid #25-030, targeting collection and recycling of electronic items for Floyd County and surrounding areas. The procurement is structured as a one-year contract from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, with potential automatic renewal for up to three additional years. The selected contractor will be responsible for picking up sorted electronic waste materials from the Rome/Floyd County Recycle Center located at 412 Lavender Drive, Rome, GA, within two weeks of community e-waste collection events. Key deliverables include comprehensive recycling of various electronic items such as TV monitors (CRT, flat screen), desktop and laptop computers, peripherals, and household electronics. Required qualifications include R2 Certification, completed E-Verify form, and current W-9 documentation. Bidders must specify whether they charge fees or provide payment for materials, with pricing to be submitted by November 10, 2025 at 11:00 AM. Evaluation will likely focus on certification, pricing structure, range of accepted items, and service responsiveness.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must specify their pricing model, indicating whether they bill by weight or unit, and whether they will charge Floyd County for pickup or pay the county for materials. The bid allows flexibility for vendors to indicate items they do not accept and provides opportunity for additional fee disclosures. While a specific budget range is not detailed, the contract structure suggests potential ongoing revenue or cost mitigation through electronic waste recycling. The county will not accept certain items like refrigerated units, microwave ovens, vacuum cleaners, liquids, or hazardous materials, and will not remove batteries from electronic devices. Payment terms include check disbursement within 30 days of correct invoicing, with submitted prices considered maximum and not subject to increase due to taxes, shipping, or handling charges.
