Recycling Services

Appalachian State University in North Carolina has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Recycling Services for their Boone, NC campus. The University is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide recycling collection services, including mixed/commingled/single stream recycling collection, container maintenance, route scheduling, and reporting. The contract shall have an initial term of 1 year, with the option for the State to renew for up to 2 additional 1-year terms. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for May 14, 2024, and proposals are due by May 28, 2024. The RFP specifies pricing requirements, including invoicing and financial stability criteria, and outlines requirements for HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) participation, vendor experience, references, and personnel.

The RFP encourages participation from HUB vendors, but does not explicitly set aside the contract for any specific type of organization. The University does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the RFP does not provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not specify a budget range or award value, but vendors are required to submit pricing information and a pricing matrix as part of their proposal.
