- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) Fort Drum Installation Solid Waste (non-recyclable) 1.0 Description 1.1 The Fort Drum, Department of Public Works, manages the refuse and recycle department in support of the Installation Solid Waste Management Plan. Fort Drum seeks information for a service to efficiently dispose of our solid waste, while minimizing contamination rates of any waste disposed. The following are the Fort Drum's capacity and capability information: • Locations: o Fort Drum Main Post o Fort Drum Airfield o Fort Drum Training Area • Volume: o Approx 3,300 tons annually o 276 tons monthly average • Approx 250 dumpsters or containers o 8 cubic card dumpsters o 30 cubic yard roll off containers o 35 cubic yard compactor containers 1.2 Request for Information (RFI) Only. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes - it does not constitute as a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the Government is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. The RFI responders are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be solely at the interested party's expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website: https://www.fbo.gov. It is the responsibility of the potential offerors to monitor these sites for additional information pertaining to this requirement. 2.0 Background The Fort Drum DPW solid waste operational model consisted of DPW staff collecting material from dumpsters and transporting to a centralized point to screen solid waste for contaminants, and compact the remaining waste in a 35 cubic yard container. The container would then be transported by an independent service provider to a landfill. In May of 2018, our service provider closed their business without notice. The closure of our service provider has generated an interest in examining our current model and exploring new options that may result in a better overall value to our installation. 3.0 Responses Interested parties are requested to respond to this RFI with a capability statement. 3.1 Capability Statement. The capability statement should be in Microsoft Word for Office 2013 compatible format.
