This is a Cost of Services attachment for Request for Proposals 25-8403R issued by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division on behalf of the Public Utilities Department for biosolids hauling services. The solicitation seeks qualified contractors to provide transportation, dewatering where applicable, and disposal of biosolids from five facilities: North County Water Reclamation Facility (NCWRF), South County Water Reclamation Facility (SCWRF), Golden Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant, Orange Tree Wastewater Treatment Plant, and Northeast Service Area (NESA) Interim Wastewater Treatment Plant. Proposers must complete Attachment B to bid on services at either non-dewatering locations (NCWRF at 2,000 tons monthly and SCWRF at 1,791 tons monthly) or dewatering-required locations (Golden Gate at 360,000 gallons monthly, Orange Tree at 358,705 gallons monthly, and NESA at 208,730 gallons monthly). All line items for selected service locations must be completed, including disposal rates, hauling rates, dewatering rates, and urgent request fees. The proposal deadline is May 7, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST, and the County intends to award multiple contractors with separate awardees for non-dewatering and dewatering-required facilities under an initial five-year contract term with three optional five-year renewals.

The Cost of Services form requires bidders to provide unit rates for each line item, with estimated monthly quantities and total amounts calculated for each service location. Collier County has historically spent approximately $3,700,000 annually for biosolids hauling services, though this figure may not be indicative of future purchasing patterns. The solicitation is grant-funded, and initial pricing rates submitted are for evaluation purposes only and subject to change during negotiations with selected contractors. Proposers must furnish a Payment and Performance Bond equal to the contract term value and maintain required insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and Automobile Liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence. No incumbent vendors or existing contractor information is identified, indicating this represents an open competitive procurement opportunity with local vendor preference provisions applicable.
