Dublin City Council proposes to establish a single party framework agreement for 4 years and to award an initial rental contract with maintenance for 5, 7, or 10 years, or to purchase up to 800 solar powered compactor litter bins. See tender document for further details. Dublin City Council proposes to establish a single party framework agreement for 4 years and to award an initial rental contract with maintenance for 5, 7, or 10 years, or to purchase up to 800 solar powered compactor litter bins. There are approx. 3 500 litter bins in the Dublin City Council administrative area. One third of these bins are in the City Centre (Area 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 as shown on the map in Appendix 1 of this document). Dublin City Council is of the view that a 20 % reduction in the current number of litter bins on-street would be possible. A replacement strategy for city centre bins would therefore involve in the region of 800 bins. In line with the strategy of developing a smart city, the proposed bin infrastructure will include a wireless monitoring system that will notify electronically the spare capacity of the litter bin. The litter bins are to be powered by a standalone renewable energy source. Existing bin locations would be used as a guide for locations of new bins however these locations may change due to width of the footpath (or other obstructions). However, it is intended that the new bin location will not be located an unreasonable distance from the existing location. Dublin City Council is looking to procure an off the shelf intelligent public waste system composed of a network of solar powered compacting litter bins, coupled to a software application usable through a web portal, delivering real time data information on each bin status and their inventory management. The single party framework agreement applies to the purchase and /or rental and subsequent installation of solar powered compactor litter bins. There will therefore be 2 options for consideration – Option A & Option B. Please see tender documents for further information.
