Douglasville Commercial Solid Waste Collection Services

The City of Douglasville is soliciting proposals under RFP 2026-009 for a qualified vendor to provide commercial solid waste collection services within the city limits, excluding the downtown business district. The scope of work involves servicing 739 frontload units, 152 rolloff/compactor units, and 15 VIP frontload compactor units. The selected supplier must provide a fleet of well-maintained vehicles and qualified drivers holding valid Georgia commercial driver's licenses. Operational requirements specify that commercial rolloff collection occurs Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, while front-end load collection is performed seven days per week. Notably, hospital and medical facilities must be serviced on their normal schedules regardless of public holidays. Proposals are due by December 1, 2026, and must be submitted as a single PDF file. A mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for November 12, 2026. The City will award the contract based on a weighted evaluation of experience and past performance (30 points), operational capacity and staffing (25 points), service approach and methodology (25 points), and cost proposal (20 points). The successful vendor must provide a proposed agreement with a term of no more than one year and automatic renewals, and must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including general liability, automobile, and workers' compensation, naming the City as an additional insured. Payment will be handled via monthly invoicing based on a proposed service fee per container.
