On June 2, 2026 the Marina City Council adopted Resolution 2026-68 approving a recommendation from ReGen Monterey’s Technical Advisory Committee Subgroup to initiate a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) for future solid waste, recycling, and organics collection services. The current hauler, GreenWaste Recovery, has four years remaining on its contract plus an optional five-year extension, but the council opted to move toward a regional RFP process coordinated through ReGen and its consultants (HF&H). Public and industry comments highlighted a competitive market and the desire to test pricing and service models. This decision signals that Marina will be part of a multi-jurisdiction RFP for collection services, likely covering all franchised residential, commercial, and multi-family solid waste, recycling, and organics. The process integrity policy has been approved, and the TAC subgroup and HF&H will develop the RFP documents. Haulers and related service providers should engage early with ReGen’s process, track the RFP timeline, and prepare competitive proposals that address SB 1383 compliance, service quality, multi-family equity concerns, and rate structures.
This is a strategic decision to pursue a competitive procurement regionally; specific Marina-only RF...
Why this matters for vendors
Early signals like this typically surface 6–18 months before a formal RFP is posted. Vendors who engage during the planning window help shape requirements, build relationships with decision-makers, and position ahead of the competition before the solicitation goes public.

The Board will hear a request from Ryan Carter of Carter Environmental Services, representing Toll Southeast LP Company Inc, to remove significant trees and tree canopy at 1006 Pantano Drive in Conservation Overlay Zones 2 and 3. This level of environmental entitlement typically precedes a substantial residential development or subdivision by a large builder. While Toll Southeast (a Toll Brothers entity) is identified as the owner and Carter Environmental is engaged, broader civil design, infrastructure, and construction packages are not detailed in the agenda. This creates opportunity for firms providing environmental mitigation, stormwater and infrastructure design, utility installation, and inspection services to align with the project as it moves from overlay approvals into full site development and vertical build-out.
Involvement of a major residential developer suggests a multi-lot or phased housing project with sig...
The agenda lists a request to remove significant trees on a parcel along San Carlos Avenue within Conservation Overlay Zone 3 by owner-applicants Lukaj and Oriola Aleksander. Seeking approval to remove protected trees usually signals imminent site preparation for new construction or redevelopment. Because no civil engineer, site contractor, or arborist is named, the project appears to be in early planning stages focused on entitlements. This creates opportunity for environmental consultants, tree services, and sitework contractors to assist with mitigation plans, permitting, and eventual grading and infrastructure work under the conservation overlay requirements.
Conservation Overlay Zone standards may require mitigation plantings, fee-in-lieu contributions, or ...
Lotus Engineering will present a Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report to the Board, providing a data-driven summary of county emissions. This is a foundational planning document that often precedes climate action planning, energy efficiency initiatives, fleet transitions, and building retrofits. While the agenda only references the report presentation, such an inventory typically leads to new environmental programs and capital projects to reduce emissions. Vendors offering sustainability consulting, energy performance contracting, EV and fleet solutions, renewable energy, and building efficiency upgrades should view this as a signal that Chaffee County is quantifying its emissions baseline and may soon seek implementation partners for reduction strategies identified in or following the report.
Greenhouse gas inventory is being reported by an external consultant, Lotus Engineering.
