Conservation/Parks/DeSoto - FY26 Septic Services

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is seeking a contractor to provide septic services for DeSoto State Park located in Fort Payne, Dekalb County. This annual agreement will cover comprehensive septic tank, grease trap, and pit toilet cleaning services for the park's facilities, with a contract period spanning from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. The procurement is structured as an "All or None" solicitation, indicating that the entire service contract will be awarded to a single vendor who can meet all requirements. Prospective bidders are strongly encouraged to conduct a site visit to assess the unique characteristics of the tanks, as some are custom-built from previous years and may have non-standard configurations. Interested contractors can schedule a site visit by contacting Josh Hughes at 256-997-5021. The proposal submission deadline is September 30, 2025, with the opportunity initially posted on September 25, 2025. The specific location for services is 1299 BLALOCK DRIVE NE in Fort Payne, Alabama 35967.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documentation. While tank sizes are currently unknown, the requirement for a mandatory site visit suggests that vendors will need to demonstrate technical capability to handle potentially complex or aged septic systems. The solicitation does not provide details about the estimated contract value or specific budget range for these services. No information was provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. Potential bidders should be prepared to provide comprehensive septic maintenance services, including potential custom approaches for older or non-standard tank systems at the state park. Vendors responding to this opportunity should have extensive experience in municipal or parks-related septic system maintenance and be prepared to provide a comprehensive service solution that meets the specific needs of DeSoto State Park.
