This Cancellation Notice pertains to a biosolids disposal and recycling solicitation issued by the City of Sanford, Florida. The City originally requested proposals for the collection, transportation, treatment, and final disposition of sewage sludge from city-wide wastewater treatment operations through methods including land application, composting, incineration, or other environmentally compliant alternatives. The proposal deadline was initially set for August 13, 2026 at 2:00 PM local time, with a pre-bid meeting scheduled for Thursday, July 30, 2026 at 10:00 AM and a written question submission deadline of Thursday, August 6, 2026 at 2:00 PM. Addendum 1 was issued July 21, 2026 extending the deadline, and respondents were required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum prior to proposal submission or include the acknowledgment with their proposals to avoid disqualification. The evaluation criteria included technical qualifications, environmental stewardship, and cost, with vendors required to demonstrate compliance with Florida Department of Environmental Protection standards and EPA biosolids-handling requirements.

Addendum 2 was indicated as forthcoming to clarify the specific services being solicited and address alignment between the solicitation title and scope of work. Pricing submissions were to be based on tonnage of biosolids processed and the specific disposal method selected. Vendors were required to meet insurance, bonding, equipment specification, and staffing qualification requirements detailed in the RFP attachments. The contract was contingent upon satisfactory performance and budgetary approval by the municipality, with funding derived from wastewater utility revenues collected through municipal billing. This cancellation notice supersedes the solicitation previously issued for these biosolids disposal services.
