Analysis of Alternative Organic Waste Management Systems
CSWD has recently begun the process of identifying and evaluating alternative management systems for the long-term management of organic wastes generated within Chittenden County. One of the first steps in this process is to select a Consultant experienced in the organic waste management field to identify and evaluate various potential alternative processes and systems with the goal of eventually developing a recommendation for a preferred system.

On May 1st, 2009, CSWD issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking to identify the best qualified firms to undertake this work in order to enable the subsequent development of a shortlist of such firms to be invited to prepare and submit detailed Proposals. Referenced in the RFQ is a draft Request for Proposals (RFP) which identified a proposed scope of services to be completed by the selected Consultant. The RFQ and draft RFP also reference several other documents containing background information to be utilized in the development of Proposals and in the analysis of alternatives and identification of a recommended organics management system.

Electronic versions of the RFQ, the draft RFP, and other referenced documents are available below.
