Conservation/Parks/DeSoto - FY26 Wastewater Testing

The state of Alabama, specifically Dekalb County, is seeking a vendor to establish an Annual Agreement for Wastewater Testing Services at DeSoto State Park for fiscal year 2026. The contract, valid from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, requires a qualified vendor capable of conducting comprehensive wastewater testing in compliance with ADEM Permit Number AL0046701. The primary service requirement includes sample collection at least once weekly from two specified locations: 1299 Blalock Drive NE and 7104 Desoto Parkway NE in Fort Payne, Alabama. Vendor responsibilities encompass systematic testing, documentation, and monthly billing for services rendered. The procurement is structured as an "All or None" contract, indicating that the awarded vendor must be prepared to fulfill all testing requirements comprehensively. The proposal submission deadline is set for September 30, 2025, with the posting date being September 25, 2025, providing potential vendors approximately five days to prepare and submit their proposals.

While specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are not explicitly detailed in the contract opportunity, the procurement appears to be open to qualified environmental testing and laboratory service providers. The contract does not mention incumbent vendors or specific technology integration requirements. Although no precise budget range is specified, the monthly billing structure suggests a potentially flexible and scalable service agreement. The vendor must demonstrate technical capability to meet ADEM permit testing standards and maintain a robust sampling and testing protocol. The geographic specificity of the contract (Fort Payne, Dekalb County, Alabama) implies a localized service requirement, which might favor vendors with established regional presence or capability. Interested vendors should carefully review the ADEM permit requirements and be prepared to provide comprehensive wastewater testing services that meet regulatory compliance standards.
