PROCUREMENT:
These contracts will provide curbside residential solid waste and recyclable collection services to single family residential customers in unincorporated areas of Orange County.
FUNDING:
Funding is available in account numbers 1006-038-1261-3155, 1006-038-1262-3155, 1006-038-1263-3155, 1006-038-1264-3155, 1006-038-1265-3155, and 1006-038-1266-3155.
DISCUSSION:
Four proposals were received in response to this Request for Proposals (RFP). This solicitation was developed to provide the County with two service options in the manner in which solid waste and recyclable collection services are to be provided. The two collection options are as follows:
Service Option 1 - once per week collection of garbage in carts, recycling in carts, bulky items, and yard waste (1,1,1,1).
Service Option 2 - twice per week collection of garbage in carts and once per week collection of recycling in carts, bulky items, and yard waste (2,1,1,1).
Proposers were required to submit proposals for all six zones. Proposers were limited to an award of a maximum of two zones. Each zone represents a franchise area consisting of single-family residential customers.
The limit of two zones per contractor was established to ensure that the county will not be overly dependent upon any one contractor to provide a service that is critical to the public health of our citizens.
The approximate average price per household per year for Service Level 1 is $305.78 for the collection service only. The approximate average price per household per year for Service Level 2 is $379.59 for the collection service only. Staff is recommending award of Service Level 1, which continues the current level of weekly services provided to customers, because it offers a lower price to our customers than Service Level 2.
Proposals were evaluated by the Procurement Committee on August 22, 2024. Commissioner Nicole Wilson was assigned to the Procurement Committee.
Consensus scores of the Procurement Committee are attached.
