MSW's staff were professional, responsive, and thorough in their efforts. Their ability to communicate effectively with all levels of the City government, including city management, public works management, legal counsel, union representatives, and operations staff, greatly enhanced the acceptance of their work. I would work with MSW Consultants again in the future, and highly recommend them to any local government needing to improve operations or cut unnecessary costs.

I want to thank you again for the excellent work you and your team provided on behalf of the Department in undertaking the Iowa Statewide Waste Characterization Study...I have received positive comments from Iowa's solid waste management community and the participating landfills and transfer stations in particular.

In a time of financial shortfalls and increasingly limited local disposal capacity, [MSW Consultants principal] John Culbertson provided us with an excellent overview of long term waste disposal options and performed the detailed analysis needed to create a system benefit charge that will place Frederick County's solid waste system on firm financial footing. Equally important, John helped us present the results of the analysis to the County Commissioners in a clear and concise manner.
- Robin Davidov, Executive Director, Northeast Maryland Waste Disposal Authority
With his extensive waste management industry expertise, [MSW Consultants President] Walt Davenport developed a methodology and implemented a system that has enabled us to equitably provide waste management and recycling access to tenants with an equitable charge-back structure across our twelve-mall portfolio. Walt clearly possesses the operational and financial know-how to solve out-of-the-ordinary waste management needs such as ours.

As a result of MSW Consultants' professional expertise and their ability to deal effectively with the general public and elected officials, Liberty County's solid waste financial performance has gone from an annual deficit of over $600,000 to a net annual surplus, placing the County on firm footing to plan and implement future program improvements to better serve our customers.
- David C. Sapp, Director, Liberty County (Georgia) Solid Waste Authority
MSW Consultants was diligent in representing the County to ensure funds would be available for the next ten years to sustain County initiated integrated waste management programs. I highly recommend MSW Consultants...as the were very conscious of our needs and I trust they would be for any client.
- Duane Dellecker, Director, Carbon County Dept. of Solid Waste
If you haven't had your waste sort yet let me assure you it is painless. Susan and Cynthia were here this morning, set up and quickly sorted the waste, tore down, cleaned up and were out in less than 90 minutes. All I had to do was open the door and let them in. I am looking forward to seeing the results!

Phase 1 - General Solid Waste Consulting Services: MSW Consultants teamed with Wildan Financial Services to provide professional services regarding the City's solid waste collection services. The Team developed informational and analytical materials to inform the City of their options in extending the current contract for solid waste and recycling collection services or issuing an RFP for the services needed. After meetings with the Oviedo City Council and meeting with Seminole County, the Team made the recommendation that the City develop an RFP and service agreement for solid waste and recyclables collection and recyclables processing. The City accepted the recommendation and authorized MSW Consultants to move forward with Phase 2. Phase 2 - Professional Services Related to Procurement of Solid Waste Collection, Disposal, and Processing Services: MSW Consultants assisted the City in drafting a Request for Proposals (RFP) and a draft service agreement for residential services, with the contract to begin October 1, 2020. The RFP covered the collection and transportation of solid waste, yard waste, and bulk waste, and the collection and processing of recyclables. The RFP also included various City services. MSW Consultants drafted the RFP, in coordination with City staff, and developed an evaluation matrix. The City received a magnitude of questions on the RFP from prospective proposers. MSW Consultants provided the majority of the responses for the addenda, reviewed the proposals submitted, contacted references, performed an independent evaluation of the proposals, and developed clarification questions, and sent them to the proposers. This project included two meetings with the City evaluation committee and continual collaboration with City staff. Once the City's evaluation and ranking are complete, MSW Consultants will assist with negotiations before the City awards the contract.
