Republic Services - Sole Source

The City of Salem, Oregon is pursuing a sole source procurement for biosolids disposal services through a contract with Republic Services for their Coffin Butte Landfill facility located in Corvallis. The procurement is structured as a 5-year renewable contract with an anticipated award date of October 21, 2024. The annual contract value is estimated at $150,000 for disposal services related to municipal biosolids management. The procurement process allows for written protests to be submitted within 7 days of the initial public notice date of October 18, 2024, with a required $500 certified or cashier's check to cover protest processing costs. The City is utilizing sole source procurement methods permitted under their Public Contracting Rules, which suggests a specific justification for selecting Republic Services as the sole provider of these disposal services. The contract will specifically cover the transportation and disposal of biosolids at the Coffin Butte Landfill, with Republic Services being the designated service provider.

The sole source notice does not indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No information is provided about disadvantaged enterprise requirements or preferences. The incumbent vendor is Republic Services, who will continue to provide biosolids disposal services through this contract. The total contract value over the 5-year period could potentially reach $750,000, assuming the annual rate of $150,000 remains consistent. No explicit details are provided about existing infrastructure integration requirements or technological specifications. The procurement appears focused solely on the disposal service at the specified landfill location. Potential respondents or protesters should be prepared to submit documentation and the required $500 processing fee if they wish to challenge the sole source determination.
