Recycling RFB under review; draft C&D legislation close to being finalized
Summary
Staff said bids for a recycling RFB are under review and declined to release RFP specifics while procurement is active; separately, draft construction-and-demolition (C&D) legislation is nearly complete and staff will coordinate with the administration on next steps.
The department told the Solid Waste Board that the recycling request for bids closed a few weeks ago and that staff are reviewing proposals. "We are in the middle of the procurement process. Our RFB closed a couple weeks ago, and we are reviewing and evaluating the bids we received," Purvis said. Because procurement is active he said he could not share full RFP details at the meeting.
Council members asked whether the RFP included additional materials beyond plastics #1 and #2, such as #5 or glass; Purvis said he was not sure what could be shared mid-procurement and suggested following up after review.
Purvis also said the department is "very near completion" of a draft of C&D legislation and plans to coordinate with the administration on next steps, with the goal of bringing it to the board as soon as possible. Council members expressed interest in ensuring C&D materials return to the circular economy where feasible.
