Deadline: 2/27/2023 2:00 PM (UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)

Status: In Review

Solicitation Number: 23-013

Description: The City of Griffin (City) is seeking competitive sealed proposals from qualified contractors to provide professional services on an on-call basis under an annual contract to facilitate and coordinate the removal, collection, and disposal of debris following a disaster. It is the intent to enter into a pre-event contract, which would result in no immediate cost to the City of Griffin, GA. The contractor shall provide all materials and services necessary in the performance of this RFP. The City of Griffin does not guarantee a minimum value for this contract.

As the City of Griffin has been impacted by natural disasters in the past, the City feels the need to be prepared for any future events for the well-being, safety, and health of the community. This RFP will allow the City to be able to quickly begin any cleanup that will assist in alleviating the effects of such an event. Natural and man-made disasters precipitate a variety of debris that includes, but not limited to, such things as trees, sand, gravel, building/construction materials, vehicles, personal property and etc. The quantity and type of debris generated from any particular disaster is a function of the location and kind of event experienced, as well as the magnitude, duration and intensity. The quantity and type of debris generated, it’s location and the size of the area over which it is dispersed directly impacts the type of collection and disposal methods used to address the debris problem, associated costs incurred, and the speed with which the problem can be addressed. In a major catastrophic disaster, the City of Griffin may have difficulty locating staff, be under staffed, have problems locating equipment, and may have difficulty funding the debris removal in short term as well as long term. Private contractors play a significant role in the debris removal, collection, reduction, and disposal process. Private contractors may be employed to supplement the efforts of the City’s and volunteer works crews.
