Conservation/Parks/DeSoto - Septic Services

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is soliciting septic tank, grease trap, and pit toilet cleaning services at DeSoto State Park, Fort Payne, with responses due October 2, 2026. This is an all-or-none procurement with a hard ceiling of $25,000 cumulative value across a contract term not to exceed five years and annual renewal.

The scope covers septic tank, grease trap, and pit toilet cleaning at the park located at 1299 Blalock Drive NE, Fort Payne. Tank sizes are unknown as some units were custom-built years ago; DCNR recommends a site visit, which can be scheduled by contacting Josh Hughes at 256-997-5021. The first contract year runs October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. DCNR intends to establish a multi-year agreement with final contract term determined at award based on pricing and anticipated usage.

Pricing must remain consistent throughout the entire contract term. Any price escalation requests cannot exceed five percent of the annual contract cost and require documentation from manufacturers or raw materials suppliers. The State reserves the right to conduct cost realism and price reasonableness analyses on all bids.

Suppliers must be registered in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform. Suppliers employing personnel within Alabama must provide E-Verify enrollment documentation within five calendar days of award notification or face bid rejection. Suppliers must certify compliance with Alabama's sales tax registration requirements and the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act. The contract is governed by Alabama law with sole venue in Montgomery, and disputes are resolved through negotiation and non-binding alternative dispute resolution including mediation.
