RFI - Waste Services Optimization and Data Analytics Solutions

The Long Beach Unified School District is seeking information from qualified vendors on solutions that can improve the efficiency and sustainability of its waste‑service operations. The District wants to understand sensor‑based waste‑monitoring technologies as well as alternative data‑driven service‑optimization approaches that do not require physical sensors. Responses will be used for market research and may inform a future procurement. • Provide a description of sensor hardware (or non‑sensor alternatives), data‑collection methods, analytics dashboards, and integration with existing waste‑hauling vendors. • Explain installation, removal, and maintenance processes for up to ~565 bins across ~95 school sites, including any impact on vendor‑owned containers. • Detail data ownership, security, and retention, and present informational pricing models (e.g., per‑sensor, subscription).
