Pre-Proposal Conference Pursuant to RFQ 2023-506-WG Franchise Waste Contractors to Provide Multi-Family Residential and Commercial Waste Collection and Disposal

Sealed proposals will be received until 3:00 PM on November 20, 2023, electronically only, through (www.periscopeholdings.com or www.bidsync.com).  The intent of this RFQ is to promote competition to ensure residents and businesses in the City receive the best service possible with reasonable pricing and contract terms.  Toward this goal, the City intends to award three (3) or more franchise waste contractor licenses and two or more (2) alternates to substitute a franchise waste hauler that is acquired by another franchise waste hauler or whose contract is terminated.  The franchisees and alternate franchisees shall be selected from the applicant pool based upon a determination of such franchisees’ qualifications as set forth in Section 90-229(a) of the City Code.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City Commission may award fewer franchise waste contractor licenses if the City Commission determines, in its sole discretion (and having considered the recommendation of the City Manager), that there are insufficient qualified applicants to award three (3) franchise waste contractor licenses and/or alternates.

A Pre-Bid meeting is scheduled to be held on October 19, 2023, @11:00AM.  Attendance for the pre-proposal meeting shall be via telephone and recommended as a source of information but is not mandatory. Proposers interested in participating in the Pre-Proposal Meeting must follow these steps:
