New Jersey Licensed S3 Sewage Operator Services

The Willingboro Municipal Utilities Authority (WMUA) in Burlington County, New Jersey, is soliciting proposals for a New Jersey Licensed S3 Sewage Operator through Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 24-01. The procurement seeks an on-site sewage operator to provide services for a minimum of two weeks at 35 hours per week, with service terminating when a WMUA S3 licensed employee begins. Ideal candidates will have extensive experience operating a 5.22 mgd treatment plant, with specific knowledge of anaerobic digestion, trickling filters, chemical disinfection, and belt filter press operations. Required deliverables include reviewing facility operation manuals, completing NJDEP reports, performing preventive maintenance tasks, and coordinating with the facility's certified laboratory. Contractors must submit comprehensive documentation including business registration, equal employment opportunity forms, insurance certificates, and ownership disclosure. The proposal is due electronically through BidNet Direct on June 4, 2024, at 10:30 A.M., with technical support available at 1-800-835-4603 option #2 for submission assistance.

Bidders must maintain a principal office in New Jersey and possess a valid New Jersey business registration. The contract requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including professional liability, workers' compensation, and general liability insurance. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the RFP indicates a preference for contractors with demonstrated expertise in municipal wastewater treatment plant operations. The selected contractor will work collaboratively with the existing S2 Operator and Director of Operations and Maintenance to ensure facility compliance. Although a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the requirement for a minimum two-week commitment at 35 hours per week suggests a short-term, specialized service contract. Prospective bidders should be prepared to integrate seamlessly with the existing WMUA infrastructure and operational protocols, demonstrating technical proficiency and adaptability in managing complex sewage treatment facility requirements.
