Organic Waste Management Strategic Planning - Vendors & Cont

The City of Cincinnati is seeking qualified firms to provide strategic planning services for a city‑wide organic‑waste‑management program aimed at diverting 50 % of organics by 2028. The effort will translate existing technical studies into an actionable implementation roadmap, covering policy alignment, GIS mapping, feasibility of decentralized composting and anaerobic digestion facilities, public outreach, and integration with private‑sector waste services. The RFI gathers Statements of Qualifications, recommended planning approaches, and optional innovative ideas; a future formal RFP may follow based on responses. • Develop a holistic strategic framework linking waste‑reduction, education, incentives, and policy. • Conduct GIS analysis of waste generators, infrastructure gaps, and site‑siting feasibility for medium‑scale composting facilities. • Provide regulatory guidance (Ohio EPA, federal) and recommend delivery models (public‑private partnerships, franchise hauling, etc.). • Design public outreach campaigns and stakeholder engagement plans to ensure equitable implementation. • Offer optional high‑level innovation concepts for the next five years.
