Solid waste Services

The City of Manchester, Georgia is seeking proposals for residential and commercial solid waste collection services within the City limits. The contract will include once-per-week curbside collection of residential roll-out carts and commercial dumpster service ranging from 1-5 times per week. The initial service area is estimated at 1,499 residential customers and 123 commercial customers with various dumpster sizes. Proposals are due by 11:00 AM on January 31, 2024, and the contract term is 5 years, with automatic annual renewals unless terminated by the City. The City will be responsible for disposal fees, and the contractor will invoice the City monthly for the number of units serviced. Evaluation criteria include specialized experience, technical competence, approach, efficiency, past performance, equipment availability, customer focus, and cost to residents.

The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor is Amwaste, and the City currently pays the disposal costs, which will change under this contract as the vendor will have exclusive rights to provide all solid waste services within the city limits. The RFP does not provide any information on the possible award value or budget range.
