About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The City of Cochran, Georgia is soliciting a comprehensive solid waste management contract for residential and commercial garbage collection services covering approximately five square miles with 2,068 total solid waste accounts. The procurement seeks a vendor to provide residential curbside garbage collection using 96-gallon poly carts, commercial dumpster pickup, residential curbside recycling services, and monthly bulk waste collection on the second Saturday of each month. The initial contract term will run from March 1, 2026, to February 28, 2029, with a potential three-year extension. Proposals are due on September 19, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with an anticipated contract award within 90 days of submission. Key vendor requirements include maintaining a performance bond of $100,000, providing specific insurance coverage, adhering to uniform personnel standards, following prescribed collection schedules, and maintaining robust customer service protocols. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on pricing, operational capabilities, service reliability, and compliance with municipal waste management specifications.

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Vendors must submit comprehensive pricing for residential and commercial services, including monthly rates for 96-gallon carts, additional unit pricing, and potential roll-off haul rates. The city will handle resident billing and reimburse the contractor monthly, with contract pricing subject to annual Consumer Price Index adjustments capped at 3% and potential fuel surcharge provisions. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the contract suggests a desire for a professional waste management firm with demonstrated experience in municipal solid waste collection. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but the scope suggests a multi-year commitment covering approximately 2,068 service accounts across residential and commercial sectors. Interested vendors must demonstrate operational capacity to serve the City of Cochran and a small portion of unincorporated Bleckley County, Georgia, with efficient and effective waste collection services.

This involves the pick-up of discarded household items that are placed in front of residences by Cochran residents. The initial term of the contract is expected to be for three years. The City seeks a professional vendor that efficiently and effectively picks up garbage and debris, and that communicates well and often with City staff.
