The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) is soliciting proposals for a professional services contract to manage the Noble County Household Sewage Treatment Systems (HSTS) program, with the procurement specifically targeting an organization or individual with at least three years of experience managing sewage treatment system programs at the county level in Ohio. The contractor will be responsible for administering and overseeing HSTS permitting, conducting site inspections, performing 12-month system inspections, managing installer registrations, investigating nuisances, and enrolling systems into Operation and Maintenance programs in accordance with Ohio Revised Code Section 3718 and Ohio Administrative Code Section 3701-29. The project involves processing approximately 40-50 new systems annually in Noble County, with a mandatory requirement for the contractor to hold a Registered Environmental Health Specialist (REHS) certification. The solicitation was posted on December 26, 2025, with an inquiry period ending January 13, 2026, and a proposal submission deadline of January 20, 2026, at 3 p.m. via OhioBuys. The evaluation process will utilize a 750-point scoring system, comprising a 500-point technical score, a 200-point cost score, and up to 50 points for minority business enterprise (MBE) participation, with a minimum technical score of 300 points required for consideration.
The procurement has specific organizational requirements, preferring candidates with multiple employees and backup personnel, and experience in counties approved for the Sewage Treatment System (STS) program. Minority-owned businesses can potentially earn between 10 and 50 bonus points by setting aside a percentage of work for Ohio-certified MBE businesses. The initial contract period will run from February 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, with three optional 12-month renewal terms available through December 31, 2029, subject to fund appropriation and satisfactory performance. While the exact budget is listed as "TBD Not to Exceed," the contract will involve comprehensive program management including weekly site inspection reports, developing public awareness materials, submitting complaint and investigation reports, maintaining enrollment tracking sheets, and providing quarterly progress reports. The successful contractor must provide their own equipment and demonstrate the capacity to manage the HSTS program effectively.
