The purpose of this RFP is to solicit proposals from qualified contractors to complete a food waste composting feasibility study to get a better understanding of what recommended food waste volumes may be necessary for successful, affordable composting and what composting technologies or methods that could be successfully implemented in South Dakota communities. This feasibility study will include working with an interested community or landfill to complete a food waste composting pilot project, if the selected contractor can identify a community or landfill within their proposal that is interested. The information learned from the feasibility study and pilot project will be used by the state to develop guidance and regulatory requirements for future food waste composting operations
