PURPOSE OF RFP The Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority a/k/a Rockland Green is issuing this Request for Proposals ("RFP") to companies who are interested in providing the services described herein. BACKGROUND Rockland Green is a public benefit corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York. Rockland Green's administrative offices are located at 172 Main Street Nanuet, NY 10954. Rockland Green's purpose, as reflected in its mission statement, is to "develop the education, programs, and technology to lead the waste prevention, recovery, responsible disposal movement, and animal management services in Rockland County." Rockland Green owns and operates multiple facilities that handle various types of waste streams throughout the county. These include the following operations at the West Nyack (Clarkstown) Transfer Station: o A Municipal Solid Waste Transfer Station for collection and transfer of solid waste and construction and demolition debris (the largest transfer station in the county). o A Yard Waste Composting Facility which produces compost from leaves and other green waste. o A mulch processing area that produces wood chips from brush and trees (the area where the culvert replacement work is scheduled to be completed). o A concrete and asphalt crushing operation that recycles demolished concrete and asphalt debris. This is adjacent to the mulch processing area. The transfer stations are used by commercial haulers and residents as convenient local disposal points for municipal solid waste (MSW), construction & demolition debris (C&D), and some recyclable products. The delivered waste products are loaded into larger transport vehicles and sent to an out-of-county private landfill or local recycling processing facilities. Given the daily waste disposal needs in the county, it is essential that these facilities remain operational with minimal disruption to public service. The "tip floor" is the portion of the interior concrete floor where waste is delivered, "pushed" to locations near a truck loadout area, and then loaded into open top trailers for ultimate disposal. Over time, the concrete tip floors have experienced normal signs or wear and Rockland Green proactively incorporates routine maintenance of their tip floors into their Operation and Maintenance Plans for each of the Transfer Stations. The purpose of this RFP# 2025-01 is to implement recommended repairs to tip floors at two of the transfer stations as follow up to Rockland Green's annual inspections. Note that work shall be substantially complete by April 7, 2025. Deadline for Clarification Questions from Proposers January 27, 2025.
