Bid Number : 025-KK03  Opening Date : 03/25/2010
Bid Title : Recycling and Solid Waste Collection Services 
Buyer : R. Johnson 
Subject : Vendor Registration and Bid Submission 
Question : Bid No. 025-K03 requires our company to be a registered vendor of The School Board and Procurement Management Services. I spoke with a lady in the vendor registration department and she told me she had received all the paperwork required to be a vendor. As this bid is opening on Thursday, are we required to be a fully registered vendor before we submit a bid?  
Answer : Thank you for your question. TO CORRECT YOUR STATEMENT ABOVE, this bid DOES NOT require vendors to be registered as an M-DCPS vendor in order to bid on our open bid solicitations. However, any vendor awarded a solicitation or quote must have an M-DCPS registered vendor number and e-mail address on file before the awardee will receive purchase orders and/or payment for goods and/or services provided.

Bid Number : 025-KK03  Opening Date : 03/25/2010
Bid Title : Recycling and Solid Waste Collection Services 
Buyer : R. Johnson 
Subject : What is recycling? AND Who uses the totes? 
Question : I have a question regarding the recycling component of the bid. In all the schools I have visited, I see a cardboard container. Is this what the bid is referring to as recycling? I also see toters in the bid. Are the toters used by maintenance and then disposed in the front end loader containers? Look forward to your answer. 
Answer : Regarding your first question, please view the bid documents, including the Special Conditions and the Format B Excel Spreadsheet to view what the district refers to as recycling. In response to your second question: Yes, the toters are primarily used by custodians, staff, and students to collect recycling material at central locations inside the school and then the custodians cart the toters out to the recycling dumpster where the material is removed from the toters and placed inside the recycling dumpster.
