Waste and Recycling Containers on Main Street

Invitation                                                                                                         
The Town of Frisco is soliciting proposals from qualified vendors, manufacturers, suppliers, or contractors to furnish and deliver replacement public waste and recycling container stations along Main Street in Frisco, Colorado.  The Town intends to replace existing public waste and recycling containers on Main Street with enclosed, durable, modular container stations that improve waste and recycling operations, reduce litter and wildlife access, support recycling diversion, improve signage and user education, and enhance the appearance of Frisco’s downtown core. 

This RFP is intended to result in selection of one vendor or contractor to provide the containers and related services described in this RFP. The Town may, at its discretion, negotiate final scope, schedule, specifications, pricing, delivery, installation responsibilities, warranty, and maintenance with the selected proposer. 

All bids associated with this Request for Proposals (RFP) will be due no later than 4:00 pm MST, Thursday, July 16, 2026. Late proposals will not be accepted. 
Background                                                                                                     
The Town of Frisco is located within Summit County at an elevation of 9,097 feet above sea level.  The Town has 3,000 year-round residents spread over 1.89 square miles and is surrounded on three sides by Federal public land and on one side by Dillon Reservoir. The Town is served by Interstate 70 with two exits and by Highway 9, which runs north to south through the Town’s Summit Boulevard business district, to the Frisco Adventure Park. Tourism is foundational to Frisco’s economy, with the town seeing over 4 million visitors per year due to Frisco’s proximity to Denver and six ski resorts, including Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, and Vail.

The Town is pursuing upgrades to public waste and recycling containers located throughout Main Street. Existing container infrastructure presents ongoing operational challenges, including wildlife access, wind-blown litter, recycling contamination, aging infrastructure, and inconsistent aesthetics. The Town seeks enclosed, modular waste and recycling stations that improve functionality, accessibility, durability, and appearance. 

The upgraded containers are expected to support public waste disposal and recycling along Main Street, maintain compatibility with the Town’s waste and recycling operations, and provide improved signage and public education opportunities. The Town is also interested in opportunities to incorporate enclosure graphics or design elements in coordination with the Frisco Arts Council or other Town-directed design review process. 

The project supports Town goals related to environmental sustainability, quality core services, a vibrant economy, downtown cleanliness, recycling diversion, litter reduction, and long-term community resiliency. Recyclable materials collected from the Main Street public containers are expected to continue being transported by the Town’s current waste and recycling hauler to the Summit County Resource Allocation Park for processing. 

Project Goals and Scope                                                                             
The Town’s goals for this project are:
 

  • Replace aging Main Street public waste and recycling containers with durable, enclosed, modular stations. 
  • Reduce wildlife access, wind-blown litter, overflow, broken bags, and general downtown waste management issues. 
  • Improve recycling collection and reduce contamination through clear labeling, compartment design, and public-facing signage. 
  • Provide container stations that are accessible, user-friendly, and appropriate for a high-pedestrian downtown environment. 
  • Ensure containers are compatible with the Town’s current waste and recycling hauler and service operations. 
  • Improve the visual appearance of public waste and recycling infrastructure in the Main Street corridor. 
  • Provide flexibility for placement, future relocation, maintenance access, and potential expansion. 
  • Support the Town’s sustainability, waste diversion, and climate action goals. 
  • Complete delivery and installation support in a timeframe that allows the containers to be operational by October 1, 2026, if feasible.
