Westchester County, New York is seeking bids for a contract to supply curbside recycling containers for 43 municipalities through Request for Bid (RFB) number RFB-WC-25096. The procurement involves high-density polyethylene recycling containers available in two sizes: 14-16 gallon and 18-22 gallon, with a minimum order requirement of 250 containers per purchase. Bidders must provide containers with specific technical requirements, including a minimum of 10-20% recycled material, color pigment, and ultraviolet inhibitor, and must submit documentation proving container durability through drop impact tests and offer a five-year warranty against defects. The containers can be ordered with two imprint options: a custom municipal logo or standard recycling arrows. The initial contract term is two years from the award date, with options to extend for up to three additional one-year periods. Bids are due by 2 PM on 04/30/25, and the award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on hypothetical order scenarios across different container quantities. The bid does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses. Delivery of containers is expected within 60 days of order receipt, with pricing structured in tiers based on order quantities (250-500, 501-1000, and 1001+ containers). Price adjustments may be requested annually and will be tied to the Producers Price Index, requiring immediate communication of any material cost changes to the purchasing office. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the procurement allows for significant flexibility in ordering across multiple municipalities. Bidders must submit container samples and comprehensive warranty information as part of their proposal. The contract appears designed to provide Westchester County municipalities with a standardized, reliable solution for recycling container procurement that allows for customization and scalable ordering.
