The RFP has since been updated to reflect these changes. <br /> <br /> <br />Proposed RFP <br /> <br />The 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 <br />on September 10, with proposals due on October 17 in order for a final recommendation to be <br />presented to the Council in November. <br /> <br />The goals within the new contract are to cost-effectively maximize the recovery of recyclables <br />from all residents in the City, to market materials so they achieve their highest and best use, to <br />provide excellent customer service and to encourage innovation in service delivery for Arden <br />Hills residents. <br />
