On Call Pump Out and Disposal of Waste Water Service

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) - St. Louis District is soliciting bids for an on-call pump out and disposal of waste water service contract covering sixteen maintenance facilities and one operations complex across St. Louis City, St. Louis County, Franklin County, Jefferson County, and St. Charles County. The procurement seeks qualified organizations to provide comprehensive waste water management services, including pumping out and disposing of waste water from holding tanks, cleaning trench drains, oil separators, brine makers, and beet juice tanks. Service requirements vary by location, with most facilities requiring annual cleaning and the Beaufort location necessitating weekly service of its environmental holding tank, which generates approximately 24,000 gallons of brine solution monthly. The bid period runs from October 6, 2023, to October 20, 2023, with a contract term from the date of award through October 31, 2024, and options to renew for two additional one-year periods. Bidders must submit pricing that includes hourly rates for pump out and disposal, trench drain and oil separator cleaning, and beet juice/brine tank cleaning, along with a per-gallon disposal fee. Estimated annual quantities include 15,000 gallons for brine makers cleaning and 20,000 gallons for brine and beet juice tank cleaning.

The solicitation encourages Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) participation, with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other meaningful arrangements. The current incumbent contractor is All Weather Sewer Service, Inc., which has been charging $133 per hour for pump out and disposal, $185 per hour for trench drain and oil separator cleaning, and $0.10 per gallon for disposal fees. Vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS system and maintain specific insurance coverage, including general liability ($500,000 per person/$4,000,000 per occurrence), automobile liability ($500,000 per person/$4,000,000 per occurrence), and workers' compensation with $1,000,000 employer's liability. MoDOT will provide a letter from the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) approving the discharge of contents from oil separators, pit drains, and trench drains at their facilities. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the existing contract provides a baseline for potential pricing, and the solicitation allows for cooperative purchasing by other Missouri counties, cities, and political entities.
