Tire Recycling and Reuse Program

The City of Frisco, Texas is soliciting a Best Value Quote (Solicitation 2508-112) for a Tire Recycling and Reuse Program targeting municipal tire disposal services. The procurement seeks qualified contractors to provide comprehensive tire transportation, processing, recycling, and reuse services for city departments, specifically covering tire pickup from Fleet Services and Fire Fleet Services locations. Estimated annual quantities include 1,150 automobile tires, 475 light truck tires, 150 heavy truck tires, and 25 off-road tires, with contractors required to provide per-tire pricing inclusive of all fees and taxes. The evaluation criteria will assess proposals based on four key factors: Cost (40%), Compliance (25%), Reuse/Repurpose options (20%), and References (15%). Contractors must submit a completed pricing form, current licenses and permits, certificate of insurance, and references, with proposals due by Monday, September 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM. The initial contract term is one year with four optional one-year renewal periods, and the City reserves the right to terminate with 30 days written notice.

The solicitation demonstrates a commitment to small business and diverse vendor participation, with emphasis on involving minority and woman-owned businesses in the procurement process. Contractors are encouraged to propose innovative reuse or repurposing options beyond traditional recycling, requiring detailed descriptions of methods, facilities, TCEQ compliance, and end-use applications. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly stated, the documentation includes non-resident bidder information and minority/woman-owned business participation details. Bidders must complete comprehensive vendor qualification forms, including business structure disclosures, potential conflict of interest declarations, and risk assessment questions covering financial stability, legal compliance, and past performance history. The solicitation includes specific requirements such as certification that the business does not boycott Israel per Texas Government Code Chapter 2270 and mandates that all responses be certified as truthful and accurate, with some affidavits requiring notarization. While no specific contract value is mentioned, the annual tire volume suggests a moderate-scale municipal service contract.
