Attachment B is a cost of services pricing form for Collier County's Request for Proposals 25-8403R for biosolids hauling services. The solicitation, issued by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division on behalf of the Public Utilities Department, seeks qualified contractors to provide transportation, dewatering where applicable, and disposal of biosolids from five county facilities. Proposers must select between two service categories: non-dewatering locations (North County Water Reclamation Facility at 2,000 tons monthly and South County Water Reclamation Facility at 1,791 tons monthly) or dewatering-required locations (Golden Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant at 360,000 gallons monthly, Orange Tree Wastewater Treatment Plant at 358,705 gallons monthly, and Northeast Service Area Interim Wastewater Treatment Plant at 208,730 gallons monthly). For selected locations, proposers must complete all line items including disposal rates, hauling rates, and dewatering rates where applicable, along with pricing for pump tanker truck services and urgent request fees. The RFP deadline is May 7, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST, with submissions required through the online bidding system at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/collier-county-fl. The County intends to award multiple contractors with separate awardees designated for non-dewatering and dewatering-required facilities under an initial five-year contract term with three optional five-year renewals.

The pricing form requires proposers to establish unit rates for all service line items, with total contract amounts calculated based on estimated monthly quantities multiplied by proposed unit rates. Collier County historically has spent approximately $3,700,000 annually for biosolids hauling services, though this figure is noted as potentially non-indicative of future purchasing patterns. No incumbent vendors or existing contractor information is identified in the procurement documents, indicating this represents an open competitive opportunity. The solicitation includes local vendor preference provisions and grant-funded compliance requirements. Qualified proposers must furnish a Payment and Performance Bond equal to the contract term value, maintain specified insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate) and Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), be enrolled in E-Verify, and comply with all Public Utilities Department Performance Standards including zero offsite odors, zero sanitary sewer overflows or spills, and zero offsite fugitive dust emissions.
