 Specifications
and Negotiations
Optimal Customer Service
Realistic Rates
Nestor Resources helps communities evaluate the full range of options available
to them for program implementation. We can prepare comparative analyses
for alternatives ranging from facility ownership and operation to procurement of
private services.
Government Entities
Nestor Resources develops bid specifications and evaluates, and negotiates
contracts for collection and facility operations. Today's communities
require more of their service providers. Expectations go beyond basic refuse
collection and disposal. Variable rates, "pay as you throw", recycling,
composting, and management of household hazardous wastes and electronics are all
current issues. Nestor Resources is experienced in drafting municipal contracts
for comprehensive, yet cost-effective collection systems designed to meet
regulatory requirements and community objectives. Our staff works with public
officials to ensure that the provisions of their bids and contracts are
realistic, thus securing optimal customer service for the best price.
During development of the specifications Nestor Resources will help
communities:
- Examine the costs associated with each component of the
specifications
- Prioritize service requirements and eliminate cost
prohibitive options
- Establish billing and rate structures
- Explore rebate and other revenue sharing scenarios
- Communicate needs more clearly to and from potential service
providers
- Build consensus among elected officials, program managers,
residents and service providers
- Develop the actual bid and contract documents
- Review the bid submittals
Service Providers
We also provide support to private companies, which are in the process of
preparing responses to requests for proposals or submitting competitive bids for
municipal solid waste services. Nestor Resources helps these companies to
understand their overall system costs enabling them to offer maximize service
while maintaining profitability.
