46-DNCR-25-2029 IFB Pumping Contract for Kerr Lake State Recreation Area

The state of North Carolina, through the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, Division of State Recreation, has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for a 3-year contract to provide septic tank pumping and disposal services for the Kerr Lake State Recreation Area. The IFB specifies the locations of 7 different septic tank systems that require pumping and cleaning on an as-needed basis, with an estimate of 6-15 service calls per year during peak season. Vendors must submit bids by September 25, 2024 and provide pricing for a site visit service charge as well as disposal cost per gallon of waste pumped. The IFB outlines detailed specifications on the septic tank sizes, required services, and response times for emergency calls. Vendors must meet certain licensing, financial, and HUB participation requirements, and the State will evaluate the bids based on the total estimated annual disposal cost, awarding the contract to the vendor offering the lowest responsive and responsible bid.

The IFB does not appear to include any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, nor does it list any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The total contract value is not provided, but the State has estimated 6-15 service calls per year, suggesting a moderate annual budget for these services. Vendors must have the necessary equipment, personnel, and expertise to effectively manage the septic tank pumping and disposal requirements for the Kerr Lake State Recreation Area.
