Grease Trap Services

The Nevada State Purchasing Division and the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR), specifically the Business Enterprises of Nevada (BEN) program, are seeking proposals for comprehensive grease trap and interceptor cleaning and maintenance services in Northern Nevada. The solicitation, numbered 90DETR-S3396, aims to establish a contract pool for contractors who can provide services across multiple state facilities, including Richard Bryan Building, Reno City Hall, Reno DMV Building, and Arrowhead Cafe. Required services encompass cleaning, pumping, repair, pipe replacement, back flow testing, and equipment inspections for existing and potential new BEN site locations. Vendors must provide detailed proposals including company background, qualifications, service list, and cost schedule, with a mandatory quote submission deadline of July 8, 2025. The State intends to award a single contract with a 4-year term, with contractors required to hold a Nevada business license, comply with state requirements, provide all necessary labor and equipment, respond to service calls within 15 minutes, and physically arrive on-site within 24 hours. Evaluation criteria will involve a comprehensive review of submitted proposals, with mandatory minimum requirements that must be met for contract consideration.

The procurement appears open to various vendors, with no specific set-aside designations explicitly mentioned. Contractors must meet several critical qualifications, including maintaining specific insurance coverage with minimum limits of $2,000,000 General Aggregate and $1,000,000 Each Occurrence for Commercial General Liability. Insurers must be licensed in Nevada and hold an A.M. Best rating of at least A- VII, with the State of Nevada to be named as an additional insured. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the cost schedule indicates pricing flexibility for standard and non-standard service hours, with travel charges capped at $50 per round trip for distances exceeding 50 miles. Vendors will be responsible for providing written estimates and invoices, maintaining clean work areas, and complying with Nevada state contractor licensing standards for work valued at $1,000 or more. The contract is contingent on legislative appropriations and funding, with potential for automatic renewal or termination based on budget allocations. Notably, the solicitation includes a requirement that vendors agree not to boycott Israel, adding a unique contractual stipulation to the procurement process.
