RFQ - as-needed recycling technical assistance for unincorporated businesses, multi-family complexes, and unincorporated residential properties

Santa Clara County, California is requesting quotations for as-needed recycling technical assistance services for unincorporated businesses, multi-family complexes, and unincorporated residential properties, with responses due July 30, 2026. The procurement is structured as an as-needed agreement rather than a fixed-scope project, allowing the county flexibility to scale utilization based on demand.

The scope encompasses waste audits, recycling program development and implementation, staff training, waste reduction consulting, compliance assistance with local waste diversion requirements, and ongoing technical support to help entities meet regulatory standards and achieve waste reduction goals. Services will be provided on a time-and-materials or task-order basis, with vendors submitting rates for various service categories and staff classifications.

The county may consider local small business or sustainability-focused contractor set-asides depending on qualification requirements. The contract will carry a primary term with potential renewal options at the county's discretion. The county retains the option to make multiple awards or select a single contractor.
