Two (2) 30-Yard Hook-Lift Roll-Off Recycle Containers

Emmet County, Michigan, is seeking proposals for the procurement of two 30-yard hook-lift roll-off recycle containers through Request for Proposals (RFP) EC-06-2025 #13. The county requires vendors to fabricate and deliver closed-top containers that meet specific dimensional and functional specifications outlined in Attachment A of the solicitation. Key requirements include a custom Durathane 95-3300 color code 12698p, a lift and drop barrel slide-bolt latch, and compliance with detailed technical parameters. The RFP was released on June 27, 2025, with proposals due on July 24, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST, and an optional site visit can be scheduled at the Pleasantview Road Drop-Off Center prior to July 14. Proposal evaluation will be based on multiple criteria, including conformity with specifications, vendor past performance, work quality, initial and ongoing costs, and warranty/service contract details. Vendors must submit three hard copies of their proposal and are expected to provide comprehensive information about invoicing processes, warranty details, and potential training support.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though the RFP does include non-discrimination policies and ADA compliance requirements. Vendors must adhere to an Iran Linked Business clause and understand that Emmet County reserves the right to reject any or all proposals. The county is tax-exempt for most standard taxes, which may impact pricing considerations. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the tentative award date is set for August 14, 2025, pending Board of Commissioners approval. Successful vendors will be expected to provide containers that meet rigorous technical specifications and demonstrate strong performance capabilities. The county will likely prioritize vendors who can provide comprehensive warranty coverage, high-quality workmanship, and competitive pricing for the two required recycling containers.
