Response to submitted questions:
The RFP states new service begins Sept 1, 2026, but the current contract term ends Sept 30, 2026. – Fern Bluff MUD does not intend to terminate the current service agreement ‘prematurely.’ The district is merely seeking proposals prior to the termination date in order to ensure that, if the board of directors selects a new provider, that new provider can perform all necessary lead-up work prior to September 30, to ensure there is no break in continuity of services for Fern Bluff’s residents
Would the District consider an industry standard 5-year agreement? – Yes
Can the District provide a concise breakdown of the services at the District facilities (i.e. number of carts, and/or number of dumpsters including size and frequency of service)? – Community Center: 10 trash, 5 recycle. Water Tower: 4 trash, 2 recycle. Olson Meadows Park: 4 trash. Brightwater Park: 4 trash. Fern Bluff Park: 6 trash. MUD Maintenance Yard: 1 roll-off container
Can the District quantify the number of roll off hauls it wishes to have codified per contract year for the Maintenance Yard? – 4/year with pricing per haul if additional hauls are necessary.
Does the District intend for the selected contractor to bill the residents directly? Or will the contractor bill the District? – The District is responsible for billing its customers.
