Request for Expressions of Interest
for
Plastic Film Collection and Recycling Services
Available Now

The Authority is issuing a Request for Expressions of Interest (“REOI”) to assist its Members with Plastic Film Collection and Recycling Services (as defined in Section B below). The Authority is seeking interest in a service for Plastic Film recycling by collecting from Member drop-off facilities within the Member Jurisdiction footprint. This REOI is being issued in order to help gain an understanding of companies or other entities (“Vendors”) that would be interested in collecting and recycling Plastic Film. The Authority is not intending to compete with existing entities, but rather to supplement the market with additional locations and options for drop-off, for ease of convenience for the residents of participating Member Jurisdictions.

If the Authority determines there is sufficient interest and ability to provide collection and recycling services, the Authority may issue a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to provide that service or negotiate a contract directly with a Vendor that has responded to this REOI. This REOI is not intended to provide sufficient detail in order to select a Vendor for the service. The Authority and its Members are open to receiving proposed amendments as part of the Vendor’s response to any/all of the sections provided in this REOI. Any specific requirements listed herein are open to consideration and amendment, in order to create the best working model and service for all entities involved. As part of its response, the Vendor shall describe how they would best manage this type of operation and detail the logistics required for each Member.

Direct any questions regarding the REOI to procurement@nmwda.org by December 6, 2024.
Responses to the questions will be issued publicly on the www.nmwda.org website by January 10, 2025
Responses to the REOI are due to the procurement@nmwda.org by Friday, February 7, 2025 at 5:00 pm (local time).
