The Solid & Hazardous Waste Management agency within the County of Collier, Florida, is dedicated to ensuring the safe, compliant, and efficient management of solid and hazardous waste infrastructure across its jurisdiction. Its core mission centers on maintaining and upgrading critical waste collection, recycling, and disposal facilities, with a strategic emphasis on environmental protection, public health, and regulatory adherence. Key initiatives include the modernization of recycling drop-off centers, scalehouse operations, and control systems, alongside the preservation of transportation and containment infrastructure. The agency prioritizes long-term operational resilience through proactive maintenance, engineering oversight, and targeted construction interventions that align with state and federal environmental standards.
Procurement activity is dominated by specialized construction and engineering services essential to waste management infrastructure. The agency routinely engages contractors for pipeline and structural painting, highway and bridge construction related to waste transport routes, and comprehensive construction engineering and inspection (CEI) services for facility upgrades. Contracts are typically awarded through competitive solicitation processes, with no set-asides currently in use, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences.
Primary procurement targets include NAICS 238320 (Painting and Wall Covering Contractors) for corrosion control on aerial and underground piping systems, NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) for access road and haul route maintenance, and NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) for design, inspection, and compliance oversight. Vendor relationships are built around proven expertise in environmental infrastructure, with an emphasis on firms capable of working in regulated waste zones and adhering to stringent safety protocols.
Organized under the County of Collier, this agency operates primarily in East Naples and surrounding unincorporated areas, managing county-wide waste systems through direct procurement of construction and engineering services. It relies on standard public bid and solicitation vehicles, with no use of blanket purchase agreements or indefinite-delivery contracts observed in current activity.
