Environmental Solid Waste Opportunity Assessment Surveys

The State of South Dakota’s Department of Military seeks a qualified environmental consulting firm to conduct a comprehensive solid‑waste opportunity assessment for the South Dakota Army National Guard’s Northeast Central Region. The effort spans three seasonal assessment cycles per year over a five‑year base period (with up to four one‑year extensions), requiring baseline data analysis, six on‑site field visits across nine Guard facilities, and a final opportunity assessment report that identifies waste‑reduction and diversion opportunities, cost‑benefit analyses, and implementation recommendations in compliance with Army Regulation 200‑1, applicable Executive Orders, and state law. The contractor must have prior DoD or Guard environmental experience, maintain required insurance, and adhere to strict certification and debarment rules. • Perform background research, baseline diversion‑rate calculation, and analysis of existing waste‑stream data. • Conduct six field visits (two per seasonal cycle) at nine Guard sites, interviewing staff and observing waste handling. • Deliver a detailed Opportunity Assessment Report with prioritized waste‑reduction actions, cost‑benefit analysis, and recommendations for recycling/reuse. • Provide a kickoff teleconference within 30 days of award and coordinate access with SDARNG staff.
