About this opportunity

The City of Jackson Wastewater Treatment Plant is seeking sealed bids for a comprehensive biosolids hauling and land application contract for the period from March 1, 2025, to March 31, 2027. The procurement involves the transportation and application of approximately 5 million gallons of liquid biosolids and 2,000 cubic yards of dry biosolids annually. Qualified contractors must provide equipment and personnel capable of removing a minimum of 100,000 gallons of liquid biosolids per day, handling biosolids with concentrations ranging from 3-12% (liquid) to 50-90% (dry), and strictly adhering to EPA and MDEQ regulations. The bid evaluation will utilize a 100-point scoring system, with 25 points each allocated to price and corporate accountability, 25 points to workplace safety, 15 points to workforce development, and 10 points to social equity. Bidders are required to submit unit costs per gallon for liquid biosolids and per cubic yard for dry biosolids, with an alternate option for the City to provide its own loader and operator. The response deadline is March 12, 2025, at 10:00 am, with an initial two-year contract term and options for two additional one-year renewals, potentially including annual price increases up to 2%.

The procurement does not explicitly list specific set-aside designations, but the bid documents emphasize compliance with federal requirements for minority and women-owned business enterprises, Section 3 employment opportunities, and equal employment standards. Contractors must demonstrate maximum participation of small, minority, and women-owned businesses and direct employment opportunities to low-income persons. A bid security of 5% of the aggregate bid total is required, and the contract is subject to the City's Responsible Contractor Ordinance. While specific incumbent vendors are not mentioned, the contract includes comprehensive requirements for performance and labor bonds, with the performance bond based on unit prices multiplied by 5,000,000 gallons. The minimum expected volume per request is 5,000,000 gallons of liquid biosolids or 2,000 cubic yards of dry biosolids. Payment terms include remittance within 30 days of invoice submission, and contractors must maintain detailed records and maintain positive public relations with landowners. Though exact budget ranges are not specified, the contract structure suggests a significant municipal investment in biosolids management services.
