Fork-to-Fuel Initiative (TOS S-033)

The Los Angeles Sanitation (LASAN) is soliciting proposals under solicitation number 230425 for the Fork-to-Fuel Initiative, a 36-month pilot project with an optional 12-month extension, to evaluate Advanced Grease Recovery Devices (AGRDs) at Food Service Establishments across Los Angeles. Only 31 pre-approved prime consulting firms listed on the July 30, 2024 On-Call Consultant List are eligible to submit proposals; all other firms must seek participation as subconsultants. The scope requires managing AGRD installation, training, maintenance, grease collection logistics, performance comparisons against conventional grease traps, community outreach, and comprehensive reporting, including a final 20-page report and KPI tracking related to waste diversion, emissions, and customer satisfaction. Performance is confined to locations within Los Angeles, with the project expected to begin in October 2026 upon issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Proposals must be submitted as a single electronic document not exceeding 20 pages, excluding cover, dividers, and resumes, and must be emailed by August 4, 2026, to designated LASAN contacts. The contract structure functions as an IDIQ mechanism, with task orders issued against the on-call list, though no contract value, pricing details, or CLINs are specified. Special requirements mandate outreach and utilization of certified diverse businesses, requiring participation from at least one firm certified in each category: MBE, WBE, SBE, EBE, DVBE, and OBE, with valid certification documentation from recognized agencies such as the City of Los Angeles BCA, CalTrans, and CPUC. Subcontractor selection must be merit-based, with prohibited justifications including personal relationships, and any substitution requires written approval from the Board of Public Works. No federal identifiers like UEI or CAGE are required; compliance is enforced through local certification systems. No formal evaluation factors, weights, or award basis are outlined, and no details on packaging, marking, payment offices, accounting codes, or invoicing systems are provided.
