The purpose of the Montgomery County Local Solid Waste Management Plan update is to adopt a plan for the next ten (10) years that will provide guidance to Montgomery County on solid waste practices, an overview of the counties waste composition and Montgomery Countys future projections.
The Montgomery County Business Development Center will be the administrative agency for the Plan, on behalf of the Planning Group. As such, management of and contract administration for the Plan are the primary responsibility of the staff of the Montgomery County Business Development Center. As this Plan will be funded by the County, the selected consultant is expected to provide documentation of time spent developing the Plan and to adhere to a strict budget. To ensure that development of the Plan is consistent with the budget provided, staff from the Montgomery County Business Development Center will meet periodically with the consultant and with the Planning Group members to monitor the expenditure of funds and progress of work.
