The Town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina is requesting proposals for temporary personnel services to supply Solid Waste Collectors under RFP P27-10, with proposals due October 29, 2026 at 12:00 P.M. EST and questions due October 15, 2026.

Temporary Solid Waste Collectors must meet specific physical requirements, including the ability to lift heavy materials over 50 pounds and work outdoors in varied weather conditions. Service providers must supply workers with ASTM F2413-18 compliant safety shoes, ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 compliant safety vests, and ANSI/ISEA Z 87.1-2015 compliant safety glasses. Providers must conduct pre-employment drug and alcohol screening, criminal background checks, I-9 compliance and E-Verify usage, and reference verification, and must provide safety training. The Town requires workers to respond to staffing requests with very short notice, historically as early as 5:15 A.M. for same-day placement by 6:00 A.M.

Service providers must maintain Commercial General Liability and Business Automobile insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence, Workers' Compensation coverage of $100,000 per employee, and Cyber Liability Coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate.

The contract is anticipated to begin December 1, 2026, with an initial one-year term and the option to renew for up to four additional one-year terms. The Town reserves the right to award multiple contracts to ensure adequate staffing availability. Evaluation criteria include submission completeness, organizational experience with similar services, screening process rigor, ability to provide personnel on short notice, demonstrated safety commitment, and cost competitiveness. Proposals must not exceed 10 pages and must include hourly rates for Solid Waste Collectors, descriptions of additional fees, detailed screening processes, personnel availability information, and onboarding and safety training descriptions. Responses to questions will be published as an addendum by October 20, 2026.
