About this tender
The Zweckverband Ostholstein is tendering the takeover of specific collection rounds (Touren) for municipal waste. The contractor must deploy one vehicle staffed with two loaders and one driver to collect and transport residual waste, organic (bio) waste and paper/cardboard/packaging (PPK). The planned deployment is 5 days per week (about 20 days per month). Additional days may be needed to cover sickness or holiday absence, if the contractor is able to provide them. Expected monthly volume is about 10 organic waste rounds, 8 PPK rounds and 2 residual waste rounds in the service area. The exact routes will be assigned to the contractor when the order is placed. The maximum quantity is set at 20% above the planned service days. Under the German Clean Vehicles Procurement Act (SaubFahrzeugBeschG), at least 15% of the vehicles deployed must meet the requirements of that law. The contracting authority notes that this can also be met by using alternative non-fossil diesel fuels such as HVO100. Proof of alternative fuel refuelling or use of alternative vehicles must be provided on request. The notice does not state the contract duration.
