RFP-TransferStationImprovementsOperation11 - Solid Waste Transfer Station Improvements and Operation

Summary of Specifications:
This Request for Proposals is for improvements related to the existing Durango Solid Waste Transfer Station and a long-term lease arrangement with the City to operate the facility. This project is required to allow expansion of the existing Recycle Center on the property between the two facilities. The location of the existing transfer station has many advantages including close proximity to Durango neighborhoods, adjacency to utilities, road access meeting City standards, and room for expansion. 

In exchange for use of the City property, the City will require a lump sum payment along with a monthly lease rate for use of the facility. The funds will be used to redevelop the City’s adjacent recycling center. 

The City intends to begin work on the Recycle Center project after a Contractor has been awarded the Transfer Station project. Although the Transfer Station and Recycle Center are adjacent to one another, the two projects will be treated as separate projects for the purposes of this Request for Proposals. There may be opportunities to coordinate the redevelopment projects, but they are not included in the scope of this RFP.
