Contract value

$13,200,000

The RFP lists 1,430 trash containers and 324 recycling containers, each with an average of 5 pickups per week. Assuming 52 weeks per year, that yields roughly 371,800 trash pickups and 84,240 recycling pickups annually. If the university pays an estimated $10 per trash pickup and $8 per recycling pickup, annual costs would be about $3.7 M for trash and $0.7 M for recycling, totaling roughly $4.4 M per year. Over the three‑year base term, the contract value would be approximately $13 M, with potential additional value if one‑ or two‑year extensions are exercised. This ballpark estimate accounts for container provision, reporting, and ancillary costs such as the $9 parking charge per access, but does not include possible price adjustments for years 2 and 3.
