About this opportunity

The City of South Jordan, located in Salt Lake County, Utah, is conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP) for comprehensive waste and recyclable curbside collection services. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to provide weekly collection services for approximately 32,000 solid waste containers at 25,000 addresses, with an anticipated 3% annual growth in container counts. The initial contract term will span seven years, beginning July 1, 2026, with an option for a two-year extension. Key service requirements include mixed waste collection, recycling collection, city facility waste collection, dumpster rental, city-sponsored cleanup services, glass recycling, and emergency/disaster event services. Evaluation criteria will be weighted as follows: qualifications (20%), past experience (15%), and cost (65%), with the intent to award to the most advantageous bidder. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for September 18th, and all proposals must be submitted electronically through the Bonfire procurement platform by November 4, 2025.

Contractor qualifications include a minimum of ten years of municipal waste management experience, a valid business license, local Utah presence, and demonstrated customer service capabilities. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned in the documentation. The cost schedule includes detailed pricing for various service types, with annual price adjustments tied to the U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index - West Region. Recyclable material revenue will be split 50/50 between the city and the contractor, and the city will pay tipping fees for mixed waste while the contractor is responsible for recycling material disposal fees for non-processable materials. The city currently owns and maintains all curbside waste containers and will continue to handle billing. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the services and the scale of collection (32,000 containers across 25,000 addresses) suggests a significant contract value.
