Board awards five‑year curbside recycling contract to Tidewater Fiber Corp at $8.50/month
Summary
After staff evaluation of a single responsive proposal, the Board authorized a five‑year contract with Tidewater Fiber Corp to provide county curbside recycling at $8.50 per household per month through the end of FY 2027, with a 4% annual increase beginning July 1, 2027; the resolution passed by roll call.
Staff recommended and the Board approved a contract award to Tidewater Fiber Corp (TFC) to provide curbside recycling services countywide. Public Works staff said the RFP process produced a single responsive firm; evaluation by a panel of public-works staff found TFC to be the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. The initial contract term is five years with up to 13 one-year renewals by mutual agreement. Staff reported current service covers approximately 9,200 curbside customers.
The Board adopted the resolution authorizing the award and initial pricing: $8.50 per house per month for biweekly recycling service through the end of FY 2027, with annual rate increases capped at 4% starting July 1, 2027. The resolution passed by roll call with all members recorded as "aye." The board noted improved performance by the current provider and approved transition steps to avoid service interruption.
