DESCRIPTION

The issuing organization is seeking information from vendors that can provide a waste management software and hardware technology solution. The solution should support a more efficient, data-driven, and user-friendly approach to waste collection, recycling, and fleet tracking.

Key capabilities may include GPS tracking of the existing fleet, optimization of current waste collection routes, creation of new routes, and the use of sensor and camera hardware to confirm pickups and monitor contamination. A potential customer-facing platform may also allow users to view pickup days and track drivers in real time while they are on routes.

The organization is also interested in intelligent software for collecting and reporting real-time data to optimize and scale waste management services. Desired outcomes include reducing incomplete routes, improving route efficiency, issuing digital work orders to address bulky and illegally dumped items, enhancing customer service, and providing data and analytics to support administrative, operations, and dispatch teams in identifying and resolving problem areas. Vendor questions must be submitted by September 11, 2026.
