Bid Synopsis:
|
This section provides information about what the State intends to purchase, the scope of the project and the primary objectives of the solicitation.
This project’s goal is the production of a study that will provide information and guide actions to prevent and reduce food waste, specifically in Wisconsin, with an analysis and presentation of the findings. The budget set aside for this project is $188,000.
The DNR’s “Blueprint for DNR Climate Action” establishes a goal of reducing per-capita food waste disposed of in Wisconsin landfills by half by 2030, compared to 2020 levels. The study that results from this request for proposals is intended to:
• Identify geographic and structural areas of organics waste generation and gaps in current organics waste management infrastructure relating to food.
• Assess statutes and administrative code for opportunities to promote food waste prevention activities (source reduction, feed people, feed animals, composting/anaerobic digestion, landspreading).
• Evaluate food waste management options in Wisconsin, including options throughout the food waste reduction hierarchy/scale.
• Develop a plan that incorporates strategies and policy options for sustainably managing food and food-related organics and meeting the DNR Climate Action goal.
• Analyze the economic costs and benefits of implementing the food waste management plan.
• Design data collection, measurement and analysis methods to track progress towards the state’s food waste reduction and diversion goal.
