Solid Waste Disposal Fee Study Services

The Siskiyou County government authority in Yreka, California is seeking a contractor to conduct a solid waste disposal fee study. The agency needs to evaluate its current fee setting process and methodology to ensure waste disposal fees are fair to residents and businesses while generating adequate revenue to sustain county services. This initiative aims to solve the challenge of balancing equitable community pricing with the financial sustainability of the local waste management system. The scope of work covers data collection, investigation, and direct collaboration with franchise haulers to evaluate current revenue streams. The selected contractor will survey regional agencies for fee methodology examples, review the existing solid waste disposal fee framework, and evaluate alternative fee structures. Additionally, the project requires developing a cost-of-service fee analysis and providing formal recommendations for the collection of solid waste disposal fees. The agency is issuing a one-year contract for this project and will allow the performance of all work to occur offsite. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. Bidders must submit any questions regarding the opportunity no later than June 17, 2026, and the agency will accept final proposals digitally via email or an online portal. The agency has not disclosed a set budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost of these services.
