HF&H SolutionsHF&H is currently assisting the SBWMA with a process for competitively selecting new contractors for solid waste collection and transfer and processing facility operation. During the planning phase of this contractor selection process, HF&H managed two subcommittees, which each included representatives from the Member Agencies. One committee focused on planning future programs and services; and the other committee focused on the method of conducting the contractor selection process and the conditions of the future collection and operations contracts.
