Curbside Collection Study and Regional Procurement Consulting Services

The Municipality of Shelburne is seeking consulting support to study regional curbside solid waste collection and guide related procurements. - Government buyer: Municipality of Shelburne; no specific department or office is identified. Other participating municipalities may be included depending on the selected scope. - Scope options: The full regional study covers five municipalities and four RFP packages (Options A, B1, B2, and C); the East-only study covers three municipalities and one RFP package (Option C). The municipality will select the scope before the consulting agreement is signed. - Services requested: Assess collection operations, costs, governance, service standards, waste diversion, and implementation; recommend a procurement strategy; prepare the applicable collection-service RFPs; and support procurement through proposal evaluation and award recommendations. - Important requirements: Municipalities retain procurement decisions and award authority. A county-wide contract is an option to evaluate, not a predetermined outcome. This is a consulting-services opportunity, not a contract to provide curbside collection. - OEMs and vendors: No OEMs or vendors are named in the opportunity.

Description

The Municipality of the District of Shelburne is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to study curbside solid waste collection, recommend a procurement strategy, and prepare collection-service RFPs. The selected assignment will be either a full regional study involving five municipalities and four RFP packages, or an East-only study involving three municipalities and one RFP package. The consultant will manage procurements under the selected scope through contract award, including issuing RFPs, answering inquiries, coordinating addenda, evaluating proposals, and recommending awards; municipalities retain procurement and award authority. The work will assess operations, costs, governance, service standards, waste diversion, and implementation, and is for professional consulting services rather than curbside collection services.
