1153745 - Municipal Solid Waste Acceptance, Processing, Transportation, & Disposal Svcs

Montgomery County, Maryland (“County”) is issuing this Request for Expressions of Interest (“REOI”) to solicit responses from organizations interested in accepting, processing, transporting and disposing acceptable solid waste1 received at the County’s Shady Grove Processing Facility and Transfer Station (“TS”). It is the County’s intent to use this REOI to gather essential information needed to prepare a subsequent procurement solicitation, a Request for Proposals (RFP), and to develop a short-list of qualified bidders who are eligible to respond to the forthcoming RFP.

The REOI, therefore, represents a pre-qualification for waste companies, contractors, and other interested parties (Respondents) interested in supplying some or all of the TS services discussed in this REOI. Organizations that do not respond to this REOI will be ineligible to respond to the forthcoming RFP.

The County seeks to have these TS services provided to the County beginning no later than April 1, 2026. Favorable consideration will be given to the proposal(s) that can provide these services earlier than April 1, 2026.

This REOI does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise. The County will not be responsible for any costs incurred by Respondents to prepare and submit their response to this REOI.
