Bid #33344. Northwest Hills Council of Gov, Connecticut. For decades the Torrington Transfer Station (“the facility”) was operated by the Materials Innovation and Recycling Authority (MIRA). Due to the recent dissolution of MIRA, the facility is temporarily being. Due Dec 15.
For decades the Torrington Transfer Station (“the facility”) was operated by the Materials Innovation and Recycling Authority (MIRA). Due to the recent dissolution of MIRA, the facility is temporarily being operated by the State of CT Department of Administrative Services (DAS). Several municipalities in NW CT are interested in ensuring that the Torrington Transfer Station (facility) remains a public facility. One option to keep the Torrington Transfer Station a public facility is for the NRRA to acquire and manage the facility. There are contracts in place with municipalities, haulers, recycling facilities, a facility operator and a scale operator through June 30, 2027, but in order for the NRRA to acquire the facility we must make a determination if it is feasible to acquire and operate the facility in a self-sustaining, cost-effective manner beyond July 1, 2027.

Northwest Hills Council of Gov. in Connecticut is using this solicitation to procure environmental work. Public agencies use a Request for Information (RFI) to gather technical input or market research ahead of a future formal procurement.

Federal-aid funding flowing through programs such as the Federal Highway Administration, FEMA, or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act brings additional compliance requirements on solicitations like this one, including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Buy America provisions where applicable, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goals set by the issuing agency. PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in Connecticut so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.
To submit a response for this RFI, review the full solicitation documents for Northwest Hills Council of Gov.'s exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit.
