Introduction The City of Roseville, Minnesota (City) seeks to enter into a new recycling contract with a company to provide comprehensive residential recycling services for the City. Those services include collection, processing, marketing, staffing for recycling information at special events, and public education. The Request for Proposals (RFP) packet, together with all forms and exhibits, defines the service standards, specifications, and proposal requirements of the Comprehensive Recycling Program for the City. For the purpose of this RFP, the City has identified 9,487 Residential Dwelling Units (RDUs), defined as stand-alone Single -Dwelling Units (SDUs), duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and townhomes. These units will be serviced "curbside" as RDUs, as specified herein. The City has identified 7,486 Multi -Dwelling Units (MDUs), as detailed in the draft Contract (Attachment A), which are defined as units in five or more unit -buildings or mobile home parks. These units are serviced as multi -units, as specified herein. The City allows other organizations (e.g., faith organizations) and small businesses to opt -in to the curbside recycling program, as long as the composition of materials is similar to that of RDUs. There are 23 additional opt -in locations with a total of 44, 96-gallon carts. The program also currently includes 29 City Park locations and five City buildings as part of the recycling collection service as detailed in draft Contract (Attachment A). Among the goals of the City are to maximize recovery of recyclables from all residents in the City, to market materials so they achieve their highest and best use, to achieve the most cost-effective solution, and to encourage innovation in recycling and waste diversion. Roseville residents have identified a city-wide goal to be an environmentally healthy community, and residents have identified various community values that environmental programs such as recycling should incorporate. Those community values expressed by residents include: ♦ Collection operations consisting of: ■ Clean and quiet pickup and transport. ■ Low impact on street pavement (size and weight of trucks). ■ Easy participation effort including use of single -stream collection and processing operations. ■ Ability to collect more materials as markets become available, notably food scraps. ■ Efficient recycling of materials (local markets, highest and best use for material). ■ State-of-the-art collections at City Parks and other municipal facilities. ■ Effective multi -dwelling recycling. ♦ Resident and community engagement efforts, which include: ■ Voluntary expansion to business collection. ■ Effective, frequent education to residents with success rate measurement. ■ Incorporation of community involvement. ■ Annual report to the City that includes information on end use of collected materials. ■ Identification, outreach, and engagement to low participating communities. ■ Outreach using electronic communications, such as an effective website including a Roseville -specific web page, mobile apps.
