Addendum # 1 Questions and Answers
RFP 9997 Yard Trimming and Wood Scrap Tipping Fee for Timberline Recycling Center
Page 2 of 2
1) How does the City plan on controlling contamination at the tipping location?
Answer: Yard trimming, wood scraps and branches are located at the Timberline
Recycling Center Hard-To-Recycle area. The Hard-To-Recycle area is closed off to the
public unless a gatehouse attendant is present. This ensures that all loads will be
inspected when it is delivered to the site by the staff, if contaminated the load will be
rejected for drop off.
2) Is the site staffed by City personnel?
Answer: The site is tentatively scheduled to be staffed by City personnel in August or
September 2024.
3) Is it a controlled site only open and accessible when staffed?
Answer: Yes, it is a controlled site to ensure removal of contamination.
4) Will the City agree to a structured process for inspection of inbound loads that will
determine acceptance at agreed upon rates or rejection and or sortation upon receipt for
additional fees based on contamination levels?
Answer: Yes, the City of Fort Collins will have an established ‘Operations Plan’ that will
incorporate a structured process for inspection of all inbound loads. The City is also
open to adding additional checks and balances to ensure reduction/elimination of
contaminated materials.
5) Thank you for including the previous two years’ worth of volume for each
category. Does the City have growth projections for the 1 + 4 optional years in the terms
of the contract?
Answer: Currently we are expecting a 2 % increase each year.
