INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />The City of Orono seeks to enter into a new recycling contract with a company that has the resources and <br />ability to provide comprehensive recycling services for the entire City. Those services include <br />collection, processing, marketing and public education. <br /> <br />The City of Orono also welcomes applicable Haulers to propose an optional plan to offer organics <br />collection services to residents. Haulers may submit a subscription-based proposal to offer and promote <br />organics collection services. Those services include weekly collection, processing, marketing and public <br />education. <br /> <br />Among the goals of the City are to maximize the fullest recovery possible of recyclables from all <br />residents in the City via the most cost-effective solution. <br /> <br />The specifications contained herein define the service standards and proposal requirements of the <br />comprehensive recycling program for the City of Orono. <br /> <br />The City encourages Proposers to submit their best proposal possible. Proposers may alter the <br />requirements within this RFP if proposals explicitly describe the change, rationale and price implications. <br />Each scenario proposed must have a distinct, associated price. <br /> <br />Proposers may elect to propose to include “revenue sharing” in their price formula. Proposers may also <br />elect to not include revenue sharing such that their proposed service charges reflect a “flat fee” approach <br />whereby the Proposer intends to keep all revenue from sale of recyclable materials. <br /> <br />This RFP does not imply, and should not be interpreted to imply, a proposed set of final contract terms. <br />A final contract will be negotiated with the successful contractor. This RFP and the successful proposal <br />will be a basis for these negotiations. The final contract shall supersede and replace this RFP and <br />successful proposal, unless agreed to otherwise. <br /> <br />II.
