Electronic waste services - recycle center

The Floyd County Board of Commissioners is soliciting bids for Electronic Waste Services to manage e-waste collection and recycling at their Recycle Center through Invitation to Bid No. 25-030. The primary objective is to secure a qualified vendor to collect, consolidate, and categorize recyclable electronic items from Floyd County and surrounding areas, with the county organizing multiple community events throughout the contract period and notifying the contractor for material pickup. Deliverables include comprehensive e-waste management services with detailed invoicing for each pickup, flexible billing options (per pound or per item basis), and clear disclosure of all associated costs and fees. Required qualifications include R2 Certification, E-Verify form completion, and submission of a current W-9 form. The contractor must specify whether they will charge Floyd County a service fee for pickups or pay the county for materials, and they should indicate acceptance rates for various electronic items including CRT and flat-screen TV monitors, desktop and laptop computers, peripherals, and common household electronics. Bids are due by November 10, 2025, at 11:00 AM through electronic submission via the Bonfire website, with the contract period running from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, and potential automatic renewal for up to three additional years based on pricing and customer service performance. The county will not provide refrigerated units, microwaves, or hazardous materials for removal, and all pricing submissions are considered maximum rates not subject to increases due to taxes, shipping, or handling charges, with payment made by check within 30 days of correct invoicing.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting organization types are indicated in the procurement documents. There is no mention of incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure requiring integration. The bid solicitation does not provide an explicit award value or budget range; however, the contractor's compensation structure will be determined through the bidding process, with pricing submitted on either a per-pound or per-item basis depending on the contractor's proposal. Floyd County is tax-exempt, which impacts pricing considerations, and the selected contractor's ability to renew for additional years depends upon competitive pricing and demonstrated customer service quality. Bidders are encouraged to disclose any additional capabilities beyond standard e-waste recycling services, and they should specify willingness to provide ancillary support such as pallets, gaylords, or shrink wrap for community events.
