Propane Gas Reclamation and Tank Recycling

Broward County Solid Waste and Recycling Services is seeking a vendor to provide propane gas reclamation and tank recycling services through its Household Hazardous Waste Program. The solicitation aims to establish an agreement for pickup, transport, reclamation, and delivery of discarded propane gas tanks and containers of various sizes, conditions, and fill levels to a permitted facility on an as-needed basis. Vendors must have a minimum of three years of experience in propane gas recovery, demonstrate completion of at least one similar project within the past five years, and possess dedicated equipment for reclaiming and transporting propane gas. The contract requires vendors to comply with all federal, state, and local regulations regarding propane handling, transport, recovery, and recycling. Pickup services must be completed within ten working days of request, primarily at the Broward County North Residential Drop-off Center in Pompano Beach, Florida. The solicitation was posted on August 18, 2025, with proposals due by August 20, 2025.

The procurement appears open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 in general liability insurance, $1,000,000 in auto liability coverage, and workers' compensation at statutory limits. The contract includes provisions for price adjustments when propane gas or ferrous metal market prices fluctuate by 7.5% or more, with a maximum of one adjustment annually. Vendors must provide a single project coordinator and submit unit pricing that includes all associated labor, materials, transportation, licensing, fees, and permits. While specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests an ongoing, as-needed service agreement with potential for recurring revenue based on the volume of propane tanks collected through the county's household hazardous waste program. The contract will require the vendor to provide detailed documentation of their reclamation process and equipment specifications.
