CIF Releases Request for Tenders (RFT) for Recycling Containers

Responses due by Friday February 26, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. EST

Over the past several months, the CIF has requested feedback from stakeholders toward development of the RFTs for recycling containers. Thank you to all those who provided input through the survey! 

We are pleased to announce a new tender for residential recycling containers for the Cooperative Container Purchase Program (CCPP) including:

•    22 gallon Blue Boxes 
•    95 gallon (360 litres), RFID enabled carts 
•    30 litre reusable totes/bags.

 
 
 

Background

CIF coordinates the CCPP for Blue Boxes, recycling carts and reusable bags, with strategic funding for municipalities to offset the cost of containers.

With this RFT, we aim to identify suppliers offering high quality products at the best price, over a 12 month period for the three container types.

The CCPP helps programs achieve economy-of-scale  pricing for quality containers.

 
 
 
 

Summary

 

CIF invites qualified suppliers to provide bids for the containers as specified in each RFT.

Interested suppliers need to register online to download one or more of the RFTs. 

The registration process ensures that all those who download the documents will gain access to addenda if/as they may be released. 

 
 
 
 

Pre-bid webinars are mandatory

Bidders must attend a pre-bid webinar for each container type you plan to bid on.

The webinars are designed to review the RFTs and respond to your questions. There are two time slots for each container type; all on February 11 and 12. (times shown below.)

Sign up for the webinar time/date of your choice after you download the RFT documents.

Attendance required for all bidders.
