| Recycling Disposal | June 6, 2024 | – FY 2023 Recycling Tonnages by Month and Municipality – Mixed Recycling Composition Audit Data | Q: Is the Authority looking for a flat rate processing fee annually? Or would the Authority accept a processing fee net commodity rev, variable price structure? A: The Authority is looking for a processing fee net commodity revenue (variable price structure). Q: Clarify due date is Thursday, June 6th (page 3 notes Monday, June 6th). A: Thursday, June 6th. Q: Would the Authority accept a flat rate processing fee for recyclables, and a separate flat rate disposal fee for the residual composition (non-recyclables)? A: The Authority will accept a separate rate for non-recyclables (trash residue) but the process that determines the amount of non-recyclables will need to be worked out contractually with the winning proposer. Q: Will the Authority supply the composition rates for the commencement of the contract? Or provide process to determine composition for year 1? A: The Authority proposes to use the average of the last four composition audits (2022, 2019, 2016, 2014… posted on our website), to be adjusted in April with a new composition audit (per our current contract included with the RFP). Q: How will the Authority determine the composition levels for the timeframe October 2024 to April 2025? A: Please see information posted on SCRRRA website. Q: Is SCRRRA looking to have pricing that meets the draft contract or the proposal form on page 11? A: We included the existing contract as a reference to what we operate under now. We are looking for the standard processing fee with an adjustment for commodity value (variable price structure). We are fine with a separate rate for non-recyclables but question how quantities will be verified and would like a partnership on a trash residue reduction continuous improvement program. Q: Given the responses to questions will be coming only a couple days before the due date, we would like to request a week extension on the due date for this RFP. A: Will take under consideration. |
