REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL <br />ORGANIZED CURBSIDE RESIDENTIAL SINGLE -SORT <br />RECYCLING COLLECTION SERVICES <br />PURPOSE <br />The city of Orono, Minnesota (city) is seeking proposals from qualified haulers to provide <br />comprehensive recycling services for all residential single-family households within the city for five <br />years. The contract term will run from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2030. <br />The hauler will be capable of providing organized curbside residential single -sort recycling services <br />to all city residents and responsible for the collection, processing, marketing, and public education <br />related to recycling. <br />In addition to core recycling services, the city welcomes proposals that include an optional <br />subscription -based organics collection program. This optional service should also encompass weekly <br />collection, processing, marketing, and public education efforts focused on organics. <br />A key objective of the city is to maximize the recovery of recyclable materials from all households in <br />the most cost-effective manner possible. This Request for Proposals (RFP) outlines the service <br />standards and proposal requirements that will form the foundation of the city's recycling program. <br />Proposers are encouraged to submit their most competitive and innovative proposals. Modifications <br />to the stated requirements are permitted if the proposer clearly describes the proposed change, <br />provides a rationale, and details all pricing implications. Each proposed service scenario must include <br />a distinct and associated price. Proposers may structure pricing to include revenue sharing from <br />recyclable material sales or may choose a flat -fee model, under which all revenue from recyclables is <br />retained by the proposer. <br />This RFP is not a binding contract and does not imply fixed contract terms. A final agreement will be <br />negotiated with the selected contractor. The final executed contract will supersede both this RFP and <br />the successful proposal, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon. <br />Proposals must follow the specifications outlined in this Request for Proposals (RFP), be received by <br />the city no later than August 24, 2025, and submitted using the forms included in this RFP or on <br />forms that contain the required information. <br />All questions, completed forms, and proposals should be submitted to: <br />Christine Lusian <br />City Clerk <br />clusian@oronomn.gov <br />952-249-4605 <br />Page 3 of 27 <br />35 <br />
