The Solid Waste Home Chemicals & Recycling Center (SWHCRC) was constructed in 2007 and has been
operating for 15 years. The Solid Waste Department operates many programs and offers diverse services,
many of which take place at the SWHCRC. As the City of Denton and surrounding regions have been
growing, so has the traffic as it approaches and departs the SWHCRC.

and safety concerns with the current unimproved surfaces, to expedite and manage traffic with efficacy and
safety. This contract aims to secure professional services with an engineering firm to design delineated site
improvements and prepare bid documents, as appropriate.
Through the engineering services contract RFQ 8525, we found that Biggs & Mathews Environmental, Inc.
has pronounced knowledge and experience with the Solid Waste industry including household hazardous
waste facilities and recycling centers. Biggs and Mathews have provided a Best and Final Offer and
