Request for Information (RFI):

Mail Management Services

Morgan County Government

January 29, 2026

 

  1. RFI Overview

 

The Morgan County Board of Commissioners is seeking responses from vendors that provide mail management services. The Board of Commissioners would like to learn about potential partnerships with vendors that could serve offices throughout Morgan County Government. The emphasis for this inquiry is placed on how these partnerships could help Morgan County realize cost savings while retaining exceptional accuracy. Mail management services may include but may not be limited to consulting with County Officials to ensure their mailings reach the intended recipients in a timely manner while using the lowest cost postage, daily mail pickup services, mail presorting, and mail recipient data processing. Many mailings are required to be postmarked the same day they are picked up from government offices, and a single mailing may need to reach tens of thousands of residents.

 

Please note that this Request for Information (RFI) is for informational purposes only, and no contract will be awarded as a result. A firm or organization’s response to the RFI⁠—or lack thereof—will have no impact on the evaluation of responses to any subsequent Request for Proposals (RFP) or Invitation to Bid (ITB) released. Responses will be used solely for information and planning purposes.

 

However, respondents to this RFI may be asked to provide a brief presentation in a public meeting to offices across Morgan County Government about the services they can provide. The meeting will include a question and answer session.

 

Please note that all responses will be public record. Do not submit confidential information in your response.

The Board of Commissioners is especially interested in hearing feedback on this RFI from firms that have a physical presence in central Indiana. It is also critical that firms have substantial experience providing mail management solutions with proven accuracy and cost savings for local government clients.

 

  • What We’re Looking For

 

The responses to this RFI are primarily to accomplish two outcomes:

 

  1. Help identify experienced firms that could come to an in-person public meeting. At the meeting, the firm(s) would provide a brief presentation and answer wide-ranging questions from different offices throughout Morgan County Government that have a variety of mailing projects.

 

  1. Help provide sufficient information such that Morgan County may be better informed about whether it will seek a partnership with a vendor through an RFP or other public procurement process for mail management solutions.

SECTION 2: SCOPE OF SERVICES 

 

Section 2.1 Contract Term 

 

The Morgan County Recycling Department, under the authority of the Morgan County Board of Commissioners, plans to issue a contract from this RFP for the following term: 

 

TERM 

 

April 1, 2026 – March 31, 2029 

 

OPTIONAL TWO (2) YEAR RENEWAL 

 

April 1, 2029 – March 31, 2031 

 

Section 2.2 Location 

 

A single county-wide recycling drop-off facility is being constructed at: 

 

Morgan County Recycling Facility 

6801 State Road 67 North 

Martinsville, IN 46151. 

 

A rendering of the facility is included as APPENDIX A.

 

Section 2.3 Current Status 

 

Previously, Morgan County provided several recycling drop-off sites for use by residents. Due to persistent illegal dumping, most of the recycling locations were permanently closed.

The new location will be fenced, have security cameras, and will be staffed during operating hours under the supervision of the Morgan County Recycling Director. 

 

Section 2.4 Recycling Volume 

 

Due to the closing of most recycling locations, it is difficult to estimate the exact volume that will be collected at the new recycling site. The 2022 Recycling Index Report from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management indicates that Morgan County reported shipping 1,802 tons to Indiana Recycler Facilities and another 1,102 tons through Brokers. 

 

The RFP will ask the vendor to propose the number of 30 yard dumpsters and any compactors that for the location, along with the frequency of pickup.

  • Metal: Steel cans, aluminum cans, food cans, and foil 
  • Paper Products: Paper, magazines, newspaper, catalogs, mail, phone books, paperboard, and cartons. 
  • Corrugated Cardboard

  1. Provide for security of the site including video surveillance as well as installation and maintenance of a fence surrounding the property.

  1. Communicate service issues to the contractor in a timely fashion, typically less than or equal to 48 hours of when the occurrence has been reported.

  1. Ensure that no recyclable materials collected are disposed of or taken to a landfill or final disposal facility.

SECTION 4. PROPOSAL PRICING SHEETS
