Fairfax outlines evaluation criteria and possible move to RFPs based on RFEI responses

Fairfax County Solid Waste Management Program · August 12, 2026

Summary

County staff said proposals will be evaluated by sector, timeline, return on investment and costs; promising concepts (for example mattress recycling) could be taken forward to competitive RFPs or public‑private partnerships.

Melissa McDonald said the county will sort RFEI responses into categories (recycling, zero‑waste projects, trash, transportation, etc.) and evaluate them on variables including project timeline, cost, and return on investment, with relevant county teams (for example, the curbside collections team) reviewing proposals in their domain. "All proposals will be read by county staff and the appropriate county staff," she said.

McDonald said promising responses could spur competitive RFPs or public‑private partnerships and that the county may follow up with respondents for additional information or meetings. She urged submitters to include implementation considerations, financing approaches and any resources they would need from the county.
