Waste Collection for Greater Ridgecrest Cleanup

The Pinellas County Community Development Department is seeking to establish a contract for a Waste Collection Event in the Largo Greater Ridgecrest Area (GRA). The curbside trash collection service will be provided to all residential units and will only be required as an annual one-day neighborhood clean-up event. The Greater Ridgecrest Area (GRA) is composed of eleven (11) subdivisions on the map attached.

1. It is recommended that the waste collection company have 4-6 rear loading service vehicles scheduled for the Waste Collection Event.
2. It is required that the waste collection company have sufficient trucks and manpower to fully cover the Waste Collection Event and provide roll off change out as needed as well as provide a point of contact during the day. It is recommended that the trash removal service company have a front-loading service vehicle for large items such as washers, dryers, sofas, tree stumps, etc. All trash and debris must be picked up and removed on cleanup day.

F. Although the number of equipment and kinds of manpower are recommended it is up to the trash removal service company to ensure that an ample supply of equipment and manpower are available to the meet the overall demand and requirements of this Waste Collection Event.

1. The waste collection service company must make allowances for late trash. For instance, if we collect down a certain street and someone places their trash out late, the waste collection service company must go back later that day or possibly on the next business day to pick up late or dumped trash. The waste collection service company workers/supervisor must recheck the roadways/streets to make sure they are left clean after trash removal.

1. The waste collection company will provide disposal tickets for all loads going into Pinellas County Waste-to-Energy (WTE) facility for a “disposal pass through rate” or tipping fee of $ 58.86 per ton. The vendor will invoice the County separately for this expense to be paid in full. Future rates are subject to change, and the vendor will be provided advance notice of the exact fee amount before beginning work.

1. If necessary, the waste collection service company awarded the project will send a representative to a minimum of one pre-cleanup organizational meeting each year.
2. The waste collection company is not required to pick up any hazardous waste items, such as paint, oil, pool chemicals, flammable liquids, batteries, TVs, computers, etc.

The waste collection company will have a roll off delivered on the Friday before the designated cleanup date each year to the Pinellas County yard on 119th Street North, Largo 33778.The waste collection company must schedule a time for the roll off to be delivered to the yard because the yard is gated and locked all day. The roll off needs to be delivered before 4:00 PM.
