Professional Consulting Services

The Seneca County Joint Solid Waste Management District in Tiffin, Ohio, is seeking professional consulting services to assist in the development of the district's solid waste management plan. The selected consultant will guide the district through the entire planning process, which includes draft plan preparation, preliminary review support, and assistance with public comments, hearings, and plan adoption. The primary problem the agency is trying to solve is identifying and addressing information deficiencies through a comprehensive data inventory and gap analysis. The scope of work requires the consultant to identify all data needed for the initial plan, review all available sources, and prepare a written data gap analysis. This analysis must clearly identify available, missing, and assumed data, and provide recommendations for addressing any shortfalls. The agency requires the consultant to explicitly define which data-related tasks are included in the base fee versus which tasks would require a change order authorization. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations located within the United States. The agency allows the performance of all contracted work to be completed offsite. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally, either via email or through the designated online portal. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget and has not disclosed a pre-determined funding limit or specific key dates in the initial solicitation.
