Description
The New York City Department of Sanitation is seeking vendor information on a complete pre‑processing equipment package capable of handling 35 tons per hour of commingled source‑separated organics (SSO) at its Staten Island Compost Facility. The RFI is intended to gather technical approaches, equipment options, and cost estimates to shape a future procurement. Equipment must be stationary, electrically powered, and suitable for hazardous dust environments, and it must fit within a 12,000‑15,000 sq ft footprint inside a new 24,000 sq ft building. The project includes continuous mixing, enclosed processing, and transport of processed feedstock via water‑tight dump trucks.
• Required throughput: ≥ 35 tons per hour of mixed SSO (food‑waste + yard‑waste).
• Equipment scope: depackaging units, shredders, magnetic conveyors, screens, live‑bottom infeed hoppers, conveyors, and associated Class II/Division 2‑rated motors and controls.
• Operational goals: > 75 % organics capture, uniform particle size, enclosed processing to meet NYSDEC regulations, and integration with existing facility utilities.
• Logistics: material loaded from tip floor by front‑end loaders/excavators; processed organics moved by 20 cubic‑yard water‑tight dump trucks; no tanker trucks.
• Timeline: RFI released 4 Sep 2026, questions due 8 May 2026, virtual pre‑bid conference 5 May 2026, response due 3 Jun 2026.
