About this opportunity
Charles County Commissioners in Maryland are seeking qualified contractors to process yard waste through a Request for Quote (RFQ) released on January 15, 2026, with responses due by February 18, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. via the County's eProcurement Portal. The procurement seeks a contractor to process residential yard waste materials, including grass, leaves, garden clippings, branches, brush, and Christmas trees from curbside collection contractors and County vehicles. The successful vendor must operate a processing facility within 35 miles of Waldorf, Maryland, and be capable of accepting yard waste Monday through Saturday in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. The contract will commence on February 1, 2026, and run for one year, ending January 31, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods at the County's discretion. The contractor must process approximately 3,000 tons of yard waste annually into marketable products like compost, soil amendments, or mulch, and provide unit pricing per ton of processed yard waste and a separate contamination fee per load.
The RFQ does not specify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must have a minimum of five years of active experience in yard waste processing and provide three representative project references. The estimated annual contract value is not explicitly stated, but the County anticipates processing 3,000 tons of yard waste annually. Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in commercial general liability, workers' compensation, commercial automobile coverage, $1,000,000 in pollution liability, and $2,000,000 in environmental insurance. The award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible quoter, with pricing adjustments for renewal years based on the Consumer Price Index. The contract is contingent upon completion of a seven-day protest period, and the successful contractor must submit monthly and quarterly reports detailing tonnage and end-product sales, as well as establish an Operations Plan approved by the County prior to service commencement.
