Engineering Services for Biosolids Handling and Disposal Assessment

The City of High Point, North Carolina, is requesting Statements of Qualifications from professional engineering firms to assess biosolids storage, dewatering, handling, processing, and disposal systems at its Eastside and Westside Wastewater Treatment Plants, with qualifications due October 14, 2026.

Qualified firms must demonstrate relevant experience with municipal wastewater treatment plant biosolids management, familiarity with applicable state and federal environmental regulations governing biosolids handling and disposal, and prior work with North Carolina municipalities or comparable jurisdictions. Professional certifications of key personnel are required.

The scope encompasses site assessments of existing biosolids management infrastructure, review of current operational procedures, analysis of regulatory compliance status, identification of operational inefficiencies, and recommendations for system improvements or alternative disposal methods. Deliverables include preliminary assessment findings, preliminary engineering reports, and a final comprehensive engineering report documenting existing conditions, identified deficiencies, and recommended improvements with associated cost estimates.

The City will evaluate submissions based on firm qualifications, relevant project experience, technical approach, and proposed staffing. This is a professional services contract focused on engineering analysis and recommendations to inform the City's future biosolids management strategy and capital planning rather than construction delivery.
