This is an Exhibit B supporting document for Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Request for Proposals (RFP) 25-8403R for biosolids hauling services, issued by the Public Utilities Department. The exhibit appears to be a technical analysis document related to the Golden Gate and Orange Tree wastewater treatment plants, containing laboratory testing data and sludge analysis results dated October 24, 2018 and November 28, 2018. The analysis includes arsenic testing by method 6020 and Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) testing for biosolids samples from Northeast Sludge and Golden Gate Sludge. Proposals are due May 7, 2026 at 3:00 PM EST via the online bidding portal. The contract encompasses transportation, dewatering where applicable, and disposal of biosolids from five facilities: North County Water Reclamation Facility (2,000 tons monthly), South County Water Reclamation Facility (1,791 tons monthly), Golden Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant (360,000 gallons monthly), Orange Tree Wastewater Treatment Plant (358,705 gallons monthly), and Northeast Service Area Interim Wastewater Treatment Plant (208,730 gallons monthly). Services will operate Monday through Saturday, 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with normal requests serviced within 48 hours and urgent requests within two hours. The initial contract term is five years with three optional five-year renewal periods, requiring 18 months' notice prior to expiration for non-renewal.

The County intends to award multiple contractors with separate awardees designated for non-dewatering and dewatering-required facilities. Proposers must complete required attachments including the Category Interest Form and Cost of Services schedules, selecting between non-dewatering locations or dewatering-required locations and bidding on all line items for selected categories. Historical annual spending for biosolids hauling services is approximately $3,700,000, though the County explicitly states this may not be indicative of future purchasing patterns and serves only as a reference point for budget planning. Qualified proposers must possess all necessary federal, state, and local regulatory compliance capabilities including FDEP, EPA, and OSHA standards; furnish a Payment and Performance Bond; maintain required insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate; 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. The procurement includes local vendor preference provisions and is grant-funded, with no identified incumbent vendors or existing contractor information, indicating an open competitive procurement opportunity. All proposals must remain valid for 180 days from submission.
