Request for Proposals for City-Wide Waste Management Services

The City of Commerce City (the “City”) is soliciting proposals from qualified entities to provide services for the collection, disposal, and processing of residential garbage and recyclable materials and the collection, disposal, and processing of garbage and recycling from the City’s municipal buildings and parks. Collectively, these services are referred to as the City’s Residential Garbage & Recycling Collection and Disposal Program (the “Program”).

This Request for Proposals (“RFP”) outlines the existing program, provides a general description of services anticipated, specifies submittal requirements, identifies selection criteria, and explains the selection process. A response to this RFP (a “Proposal”) should serve as a complete and detailed approach to providing the required services (the “Services”). The RFP and resulting contract are intended to be comprehensive (i.e., separate proposals for any single portion of the Services will not be considered).

The objective is for entities responding to this RFP (“Respondents”) to submit sufficient information to allow the City to select a Contractor to enter into a contract with full service commencing January 1, 2026, for a five (5)-year service term, subject to annual appropriation. Proposals should serve as a complete and detailed approach to the management and delivery of the Services.
