Compost Removal and Screening

The Town of Hampton requests sealed bid proposals from qualified Contractors for the purchase and removal of unscreened composted material, and the return of one-hundred, and sixty (160) cubic yards of screened compost. The Town of Hampton, acting through its Town Manager, for the Department of Public Works (DPW), in accordance with the provisions of New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated Chapter 37, Section 6 and the provisions of the Town of Hampton Purchasing Policy and Purchasing Procedures Chapter 718 of the Hampton Code of Ordinances requests sealed bid proposals from qualified Contractors for the purchase and removal of unscreened composted material, and the return of one-hundred, and sixty (160) cubic yards of screened compost. No bid shall be accepted without a prospective Bidder having first viewed the compost materials windrows. Date of viewing must be acknowledged on the Bid Form. Alternative viewing dates may be available up to two days before bids are due by contacting Jim Hafey, Transfer Station Coordinator, at (603) 929-5930. All inquiries regarding the bid document, bid procedure, and any technical aspect may be directed to Jim Hafey, Transfer Station Coordinator, weekdays between the hours of 7:00 am and 3:30 pm, or by email at jhafey@hamptonnh.gov The duration of the Contract will be from the award of the bid for the calendar years of 2023, 2024, 2025, and shall end on December 31, 2025. For contract years 2023, 2024, and 2025, funding will be subject to appropriation by the Town Meeting. The scope of work and services is associated with the Contractor's purchase, loading, and removal of unscreened composted material from the Transfer Station and the return of screened compost to the Transfer Station. No screening will be allowed on the DPW site due to area constraints. The work shall be performed in calendar years 2023, 2024 and 2025. The work each year is to commence no later than the first of May each year and be completed no later than the first of November of each year of the Contract unless approved by the DPW Director or designee. At the time of this Bid, there is approximately one-seasons' worth of composted leaf and yard waste available. Newer material might not be ready for screening at the onset of the Contract but would be ready for screening for a fall haul operation (should the Town and Contractor deem a fall operation is warranted). Approximately 8,000 cubic yards of raw compost material is available each year for screening. The Transfer Station Coordinator shall determine what constitutes the composted material, what material is ready to be removed versus what is leaf and yard waste that is not ready to be removed. By submitting a Bid, the Contractor asserts that they have the equipment, facilities, and capability to remove the required volume of compost material produced by the Town during each season. The Town makes no guarantee of a particular quantity of work or compost material. The quality of workmanship will be to the acceptance and satisfaction of the Transfer Station Coordinator, who will supervise the work hereunder. Any damage caused by Contractor's operations shall be repaired immediately by the Contractor and at the Contractor's expense. The selected Contractor may store equipment directly related to the work overnight, on a limited basis, at the Transfer Station at the discretion of the DPW Director or designee. If the selected Contractor should want to engage in a separate fall hauling operation, it will be at no additional cost to the Town. The time schedule of the work shall be at the discretion of the DPW Director or designee. Again, no screening will be allowed on the DPW site due to area constraints.
