Contract: septic/holding tank pumping & disposal services

The State of New Hampshire, specifically through the Department of Administrative Services and spanning multiple state agencies including Business and Economic Affairs, Health and Human Services, Military and Veterans Services, Natural and Cultural Resources, Transportation, Lottery Commission, and Liquor Commission, is seeking a comprehensive septic and holding tank pumping and disposal services contract. The Request for Bid (RFB #3007-25) covers approximately 100 sites across the state, with tank sizes ranging from 500 to 32,000 gallons and varying pumping frequencies. Vendors must provide detailed pricing for tank pumping, cleaning, and disposal services, including per-gallon costs, tank cleaning rates, and hourly labor rates differentiated by county and time periods (normal business hours, after-hours, weekends, and holidays). The bid responses are due on April 16, 2025 at 9:30 AM Eastern Time, with the contract term scheduled from November 1, 2025, through October 31, 2030, and potential for two additional years of extension. Evaluation criteria will focus on lowest cost by location, with the State reserving the right to add or delete locations throughout the contract period.

The procurement does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for specific enterprise types. Vendors must provide comprehensive general liability insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate coverage. The contract will be non-exclusive, allowing the State to retain alternative contractors for similar services if needed. While specific incumbent vendors are not identified, the bid requires vendors to be capable of servicing diverse state facilities including state parks, welcome centers, government buildings, patrol sheds, and various state facilities. The State anticipates the listed quantities are estimates and do not represent guaranteed minimum or maximum usage, providing flexibility in contract implementation. The bid includes provisions for emergency repairs, per-occurrence services, and specific response time requirements, with pricing markup guidelines for additional services. Though a precise award value is not specified, the scope suggests a significant multi-year contract covering extensive statewide septic and holding tank services across multiple state agencies.
