Overview

Summary

The District of Columbia Government (the “District”), acting by and through its Department of General Services (the “Department” or “DGS”) is seeking one (1) qualified and licensed firm (a “Contractor”) to provide all labor, materials, equipment, appropriately-sized containers, dedicated vehicles, vehicle maintenance, fuel, license fees and permits, management, recordkeeping, reporting, and other services necessary to successfully to provide Organics Collection and Disposal Services (the “Services”) at various District facilities across the DGS portfolio, which may include D.C. Public Schools (“DCPS”), Department of Parks and Recreation (“DPR”), Fire and Emergency Medical Services (“FEMS”), etc. in support of the Department’s sustainable waste management efforts for a base period and up to four (4) additional one (1) year option periods.

Background

As part of a comprehensive waste management program, the Department is seeking a contractor with industry knowledge and expertise to collect organic material from commercial buildings and properties managed under the purview of the Executive Office of the Mayor. These buildings consist of many District agencies including schools, parks and recreation centers, community gardens, housing shelters, and fire stations. Due to the growing interest in organics recycling, the Department expects the number of agencies and buildings receiving services to change and increase over time.

The majority of the services needed will be the collection and disposal and post-consumer food waste, but the materials collected may also include compostable food service ware (e.g. compostable utensils) and paper products (e.g. compostable paper lunch trays). This material is expected to be collected in carts on wheels or small buckets. Other properties will generate garden and yard debris for collection, which may require manual hand-pull collection or roll-off dumpsters to consolidate collections.

This contract will be established as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (“IDIQ”) agreement. Task Orders will be issued based on actual needs, as the Department cannot predict in advance how many schools, facilities, or agencies will participate in the program. This approach provides flexibility to accommodate fluctuating demand and ensures services can be scaled up or down as participation changes.
