This is a DocuSign completion certificate for an addendum document related to Collier County Board of County Commissioners' biosolids hauling services procurement (RFP 25-8403R). The addendum was electronically signed on December 2, 2025, by Sandra Srnka, Procurement Director for Collier County Board of County Commissioners. The procurement solicitation seeks qualified contractors to provide biosolids hauling services, including 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 are scheduled Monday through Saturday, 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM, excluding county holidays, with normal requests serviced within 48 hours and urgent requests within two hours. The solicitation deadline is May 7, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST via the online bidding system at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/collier-county-fl. 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, requiring 18 months' notice prior to expiration for non-renewal.

Proposers must submit all required documentation including completed Attachment A (Category Interest Form) and Attachment B (Cost of Services), selecting between non-dewatering or dewatering-required locations and bidding on all line items for selected facilities. Qualified proposers must possess federal, state, and local regulatory compliance capabilities including FDEP, EPA, and OSHA standards; furnish a Payment and Performance Bond equal to the contract term value; maintain Worker's Compensation, Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate), and Automobile Liability coverage ($1,000,000 per occurrence); and be enrolled in E-Verify. The County historically has spent approximately $3.7 million annually for biosolids hauling services, though this figure may not be indicative of future purchasing patterns. Initial pricing rates submitted are for evaluation purposes only and subject to change during negotiations, with price modification requests permitted after the initial contract term if documentation is submitted at least 18 months before renewal dates. All proposals must remain valid for 180 days from submission. This is a grant-funded procurement with no incumbent vendors identified, representing an open competitive procurement opportunity with local vendor preference provisions.
