Zero Waste Muni Plan with Composting Expansion Pilot

The City of Pittsburgh is seeking proposals from qualified businesses to provide Zero Waste and compost planning. The city aims to update its existing Zero Waste plan with an implementable waste strategy, including a phased municipal composting strategy. The proposal should include a detailed discussion of the firm's approach, project plan, and cost proposal. The city requires respondents to demonstrate good faith efforts to obtain participation from Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (MBE's) and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (WBE's). The selected respondent will be required to enter into a contract with the City of Pittsburgh, contingent upon the approval of City Council. • The city's current waste management system and infrastructure • The proposed composting strategy and its feasibility • The cost estimate for the implementation of the composting program • The potential environmental benefits of the proposed composting program • The city's goals for increasing diversion and reducing waste • The role of the selected respondent in achieving these goals • The city's requirements for community engagement and education • The potential for partnerships with local businesses and organizations
