Project Description

Comprehensive Garbage, Recyclables, and Composting Collection Services

The City of Poulsbo is requesting Proposals (RFP) from qualified firms for solid waste collection services within the City Service Area (See Appendix A, Exhibit A). These services include single-family, multifamily, and commercial garbage collection; single-family and multifamily recycling and compostables collection; and the processing and marketing of collected recycling and compostables. The contract term will be ten (10) years.

The City currently provides garbage service to residents and businesses using carts and detached containers. The City currently contracts with Bainbridge Disposal for residential curbside and multifamily recycling and yard debris service. The three-year contract with Bainbridge Disposal expired February 28, 2025 and the City has exercised its option two times to extend the contract for one year each, which will run through February 28, 2027. All other services are open market.

The City is seeking a comprehensive solid waste collection contract to bring all services under one contract with one provider. The City seeks continuation of most service standards with some minor revisions and improvements as described in the attached draft Base Contract. The City also seeks proposed revenue impacts for one alternative, as listed in the Priorities & Requested Services Section.

The RFP process is described in detail in the Instructions to Proposers Section. Proposers should submit their Proposal, based on the attached Base Contract, with the revenue impacts of the alternative separately identified on the specified Price Proposal Form.

Proposal Submittal Due Date is June 8, 2026
