Solid Waste Disposal Fee Study Services

The Siskiyou County government authority in Yreka, California is seeking a qualified contractor to conduct a comprehensive solid waste disposal fee study. The agency needs to evaluate its current fee-setting process and methodology to ensure that waste disposal fees remain fair to local residents and businesses while generating sufficient revenue to sustain county services. This initiative aims to solve the challenge of balancing equitable public pricing with the long-term financial viability of the county's solid waste program. The scope of work covers data collection, investigation, and direct collaboration with franchise haulers to evaluate existing revenue streams. The selected contractor will survey regional agencies for fee methodology examples, review the county's current fee structure, and evaluate alternative disposal fee models. 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 limiting eligibility to onshore organizations based in the United States. The contractor will perform all work offsite over a contract period of one year. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and will accept bid responses digitally via email or online submission. Interested parties must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 17, 2026.
