ITB 2026-3 - Waste Pumping

Utah County Public Works Department is soliciting bids for waste pumping and disposal services through Invitation to Bid (ITB) 2026-3, seeking a qualified contractor to manage waste removal from multiple county facilities. The procurement covers pumping and disposing of waste from 11 permanent sewage holding tanks (ranging from 1,000 to 2,500 gallons), 4 portable sewage holding tanks (250 gallons each), and sand and grease traps with oil separators at six specified locations including Public Works Motor Pool, Public Works Car Wash, and Security Center facilities. Contractors must submit digital proposals through the State of Utah's Bonfire (EUNA) eProcurement platform by Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Mountain Time, with mandatory pre-bid site visits required before submission. The contract will have an initial five-year term with potential five-year renewal, and contractors must provide pumping services within 24 hours of county request. Key contractor qualifications include a minimum of three years' experience, current business and Utah Contractor licenses, and Commercial General Liability insurance of at least three million dollars. Pricing will be structured as a per-gallon fee plus a minimum charge, with invoices itemized by tank location, pumping date, and gallons disposed.

The solicitation does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The county reserves the right to terminate the contract for convenience at any time and will allow annual price increases limited to the Consumer Price Index, not exceeding three percent annually. Pricing will require contractors to submit separate rates for each identified location and tank type, with payment based on verified work completion and supported by driver logs and disposal manifests. No sales tax will be charged due to the county's tax exemption. While no incumbent vendor is explicitly mentioned, the comprehensive pumping schedule in the attached spreadsheet outlines specific service requirements for various county facilities, including monthly services for locations like the Security Center grease tank and periodic services for multiple park facilities such as Nunns Park, Lincoln Beach, Spanish Fork River Park, and others. The solicitation provides a detailed operational framework for potential bidders, though specific budget ranges or total contract values are not explicitly stated in the provided documentation.
