1166439 - Recycling Pilot Program: Single-Family Residential Food Scraps Collection

The County requires weekly food scraps collection from three routes of as many as 850 single-family households each (for a maximum total of 2,550 households). Currently, there are approximately 1,500 households enrolled in the program. The contractor must be prepared to commence collection service to all 1,500 households currently enrolled in the program at the agreed upon collection start date and be able to increase collection service to the maximum 2,550 households as new households are recruited for participation in the pilot.

Proposals must include a cost per-household fee. The Contractor will only be compensated for the actual number of households that are provided service, up to the maximum 2,550 households.
Work under this Contract will be authorized under one or more Blanket Purchase Orders (BPO). The Contract Administrator or designee will assign the work to the Contractor, and will also provide verbal and/or written direction to the Contractor.

The three pilot areas are in Bethesda/Rockville (within Recycling Service Sub Area 1), Potomac (within Recycling Service Sub Area 9), and Silver Spring (within Recycling Service Sub Area 4). The designated Bethesda/Rockville area food scraps recycling collection must take place weekly on Mondays. The designated Potomac area food scraps recycling collection must take place weekly on Tuesdays. The designated Silver Spring area food scraps recycling collection must take place weekly on Thursdays. These food scraps collection days align with the weekly recycling collection services provided to households in each of the pilot areas.
