RFP 2025-784 Recycling Collection Containers

The City of Tybee Island, Georgia is seeking proposals for RFP 2025-784 to procure 100 recycling collection containers through a Georgia Recycling, Waste Reduction, and Diversion Grant from the state's Environmental Protection Division. The containers must be blue, a minimum of 35 gallons, feature a rain cap and side gate opening, and be constructed predominantly from recycled materials. Proposers will be evaluated on multiple criteria including qualifications, technical approach, cost effectiveness, project timeline, sustainability practices, communication, and regulatory compliance. A pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM in the City Hall Conference Room, with final proposals due on Thursday, July 24, 2025, at 2:00 PM to Aleesha Robinson at Tybee Island City Hall. Interested vendors must submit a comprehensive package including various required affidavits, insurance certificates, tax documentation, and other specified forms. The city reserves the right to reject any proposals, waive technicalities, negotiate directly with proposers, and select the bid deemed most advantageous to the municipality.

The procurement appears open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The project is funded through a grant allocation of up to $83,100.00, which covers the purchase, delivery, and related charges for the recycling containers. The City of Tybee Island maintains flexibility in the award process, potentially selecting one or multiple vendors to fulfill the contract requirements. All questions regarding the RFP must be submitted in writing to Patricia Sinel at patricia.sinel@cityoftybee.gov. The evaluation will prioritize contractors with demonstrable experience in municipal recycling infrastructure, a strong commitment to sustainable solutions, and the capability to meet project schedules and specifications. While no incumbent vendors are specified, the successful proposer will need to integrate with existing municipal waste management infrastructure and comply with all local and state regulatory requirements.
