Tire Recycling

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) has issued a state contract opportunity for tire recycling services, seeking Environmental Protection Division (EPD) qualified Tire Carriers to manage comprehensive tire collection and recycling operations. The procurement focuses on collecting and recycling tires, tire scraps, and rubber road debris, with contractors expected to provide all necessary labor, equipment, materials, transportation, and service capabilities. The contract requires vendors to be pre-qualified by the Georgia EPD and capable of responding to tire collection needs approximately every other month. The solicitation was posted on March 14, 2025, with proposals due by April 9, 2025, providing potential respondents with approximately 26 days to prepare and submit their detailed responses. Key objectives include efficient removal of roadway tire and rubber debris, environmental compliance, and sustainable waste management practices for the state's transportation infrastructure.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the contract appears to be open to qualified EPD-certified tire carriers with demonstrated capabilities in waste management and recycling services. The procurement does not indicate specific restrictions on business size or ownership, suggesting potential opportunities for various types of vendors meeting the technical qualifications. No incumbent vendor information or specific award value range was disclosed in the current solicitation details. The contract's frequency of service (approximately every other month) suggests a potentially ongoing engagement with flexible collection requirements. Interested vendors should carefully review the full solicitation documents to understand the complete scope of technical and operational requirements for successful proposal submission.
