To evaluate the potential for cost-effective electronic waste <br />collection/processingand yard waste collection services for residents, proposals for these <br />optional services will also be accepted. <br />An RFP for Recycling Services is being issued so that the City will have the opportunity to <br />accept or reject all or portions of proposals and to further negotiate proposals to obtain the most <br />cost-effective suite of services desired by the City. It is anticipated that the RFP will be issued in <br />September, with proposals due in October in order for a recommendation to be presented to the <br />Council in November. <br />The draft Request for Proposals (RFP) for recycling services and submittalforms can be viewed <br />in Attachment A and Attachment B,respectively.
