Grease Trap Services

Washoe County and the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR) are seeking contractors to provide comprehensive grease trap services for the Business Enterprises of Nevada (BEN) program across four Northern Nevada sites. The solicitation, numbered 90DETR-S3412, seeks vendors to perform detailed grease trap maintenance including cleaning, deodorizing, repairing, drain line servicing, vacuum and pump services, pipe replacement, back flow testing, and equipment inspections. Specifically, the contract targets 750-gallon tank services at locations in Carson City and Reno, with service frequency not to exceed twice annually. Vendors must submit detailed proposals through nevadaepro.com, including company background, qualifications, service list, cost schedule, and contact information. Evaluation criteria will focus on compliance with state requirements, vendor qualifications, and comprehensive service capabilities. The solicitation has a proposal due date of July 15, 2025, with a planned 4-year contract term. Mandatory vendor requirements include holding a Nevada business license, agreeing not to boycott Israel, and meeting contractor licensing standards for work valued at $1,000 or more.

The contract does not explicitly indicate a specific set-aside for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard state procurement practices often include such provisions. Vendors must provide written estimates, maintain staffed offices during business hours, respond to service calls within 15 minutes, and physically arrive on-site within 24 hours of reported issues. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating $2,000,000 in General Aggregate coverage, $1,000,000 for Products-Completed Operations, and $1,000,000 for Each Occurrence, with insurers required to have an A.M. Best rating of at least A- VII. While specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the cost schedule suggests flexible pricing with different rates for standard and non-standard service hours, and travel charges capped at $50 per round trip for distances exceeding 50 miles. The state reserves the right to establish a pool of contractors and potentially expand service locations beyond the initial four sites. Funding for the contract is contingent on legislative appropriations, with the state maintaining the option to terminate the contract if sufficient funds are not available.
