Summary
The Office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency (CASR) on behalf of the City and County of Denver desires to solicit proposals for professional services to support two cohorts of approximately 7-15 food service providers each (for a maximum of 30) with navigation services for their waste prevention and organics diversion efforts, including technical and financial support.

Purpose

This RFP is being solicited by the Office of Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency (CASR) and will be done in partnership with the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment (DDPHE).

The Project Management Team is seeking a contractor to support two cohorts of approximately 7-15 food service providers each (for a maximum of 30) with navigation services for their waste prevention and organics diversion efforts, including technical and financial support.
