About this opportunity
Orange County, Florida is soliciting sealed offers for Biosolids Management services through the Water Reclamation Division, identified as solicitation Y24-180. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive biosolids removal, transport, and treatment services for three water reclamation facilities located in Orlando and Apopka: South, East, and Northwest Water Reclamation Facilities. The estimated daily biosolids production ranges from 31 to 127 wet tons per facility, with the contractor responsible for providing leak-proof trailers, transporting biosolids to a Florida Department of Environmental Protection permitted facility, and treating the materials to meet Class AA biosolids standards. Bidders must electronically submit proposals via the ProcureNow OpenGov e-Procurement Platform by May 7, 2024, at 4:00 pm EST, with a non-mandatory pre-solicitation meeting scheduled for April 4, 2024. Potential bidders must submit questions by April 3, 2024, at 5:00 pm EST through the online platform, and are required to have a Florida Department of Environmental Protection operating permit for a Class AA biosolids treatment facility issued in the bidder's name.
The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Bidders must demonstrate the capability to haul 250 wet tons per day and provide at least three client references for similar work completed within the past ten years. The contract will have an initial five-year term with an estimated total quantity of 450,000 wet tons of biosolids to be managed, and will be awarded on an all-or-none basis to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Potential pricing adjustments based on the Consumers Price Index (CPI-U) are allowable after the initial one-year period, with a maximum annual price increase cap of 4%. While the county makes no guarantees about minimum or maximum biosolids volumes, the estimated total contract value could potentially range between $10-15 million over the five-year term, depending on actual biosolids production and market rates for transportation and treatment services.
