Zero Waste Sonoma - Request for Proposal: 

SOFTWARE FOR TRACKING COMPLIANCE WITH SB 1383 AND FOOD WARE ORDINANCES

The primary objectives of this software are to:

1. Monitor compliance of commercial generators who are subject to the requirements of the SB 1383 Regulations, including edible food recovery and organics/recycling collection, and local Disposable Food Ware and Polystyrene Foam Ban Ordinances.
2. Serve as the jurisdictions’ main repository of Implementation Records, including waivers issued/denied, education and outreach to generators (e.g., emails, phone calls, letters, site visits), organic waste product and paper procurement, and other records required by the SB 1383 Regulations.
3. Provide AGENCY staff, 10 member jurisdictions, and franchised haulers real time access to accurate data, including generator compliance status, collection volumes, previous education and outreach efforts, waivers issued/denied, complaints, and enforcement action taken.

The Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority (Authority) (a.k.a. Salinas Valley Recycles) seeks proposals from qualified consultants to provide professional services to perform a waste characterization study of the agency’s three disposal and resource recovery facilities. With state mandates, AB 341, AB 1826 and SB 1383 primarily focus on diverting commercial recyclables and organic waste from landfill disposal and related greenhouse gas emission reductions, the services requested will assist in focusing on achieving the requirements of the laws and the Authority’s goal of attaining 75% diversion from landfills by targeting reduction of waste materials. The Authority’s most recent waste characterization study was completed in FY 2018-19 prior to SB 1383 being implemented.

Proposals must be received by 2:00 pm, Tuesday, April 29, 2025 (no post marks)
