DESCRIPTION
The issuing organization is seeking information from vendors capable of providing strategic planning services for organic waste management in Ohio. The requested services include development of comprehensive planning frameworks that organize municipal goals around waste reduction, public education, regulatory compliance, incentives, and policy development.
The scope also includes use of geographic information systems (GIS) to map regional waste generators and existing infrastructure, evaluation of local waste stream data to establish baseline targets for increasing residential and commercial diversion rates, and assessment of the feasibility of a decentralized network of medium-scale composting facilities to reduce transportation distances and operating costs.
In addition, the selected firm would be expected to provide guidance on aligning local processing operations with Ohio EPA Multi-Class Composting Facility standards, federal pathogen control requirements, carbon-to-nitrogen ratio considerations, and industrial stormwater permitting requirements. The work may also involve developing operational frameworks for localized anaerobic digestion programs, agricultural registries, and expansion of biochar markets, along with public advertising campaigns and educational seminars focused on residential food waste prevention and backyard composting.
Questions are due by July 24, 2026.
