Perdido Landfill Leachate Treatment Services

Escambia County Waste Services Department is seeking a qualified contractor for Perdido Landfill Leachate Treatment Services through Invitation to Bid #24-25.141, focusing on comprehensive leachate treatment with a specific emphasis on total nitrogen reduction. The project requires treating between 6,500 to 20,000 gallons of daily leachate, with the primary objective of reducing total nitrogen concentrations to 215 mg/L or less to meet discharge requirements. The contractor must provide a full-scale treatment system capable of generating up to 70,000 gallons per day of permeate, with a minimum treatment capacity of 35,000 gallons per day. Work will be performed during normal business hours: Monday through Friday from 7am-5pm and Saturday from 7am-3:30pm. The bid was released on August 26, 2025, with vendor questions due by September 4, 2025, and final responses required by September 9, 2025, at 1:00 pm. The initial contract term is twelve months, with potential renewals for two additional twelve-month periods, potentially extending the total contract duration to thirty-six months.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including E-Verify documentation, conflict of interest forms, and proof of business authority. Insurance requirements are extensive, mandating workers' compensation, general liability, auto liability, and pollution liability coverage. The contract will be priced based on leachate treatment quantity, with bidders required to provide unit costs for treatment, mobilization, and demobilization. Escambia County will provide a staging area and electric service, and will accept spent membranes and filters. While no incumbent vendor is explicitly mentioned, the comprehensive historical nitrogen level data in the TN_value_sheets.xlsx indicates a complex treatment history with nitrogen concentrations historically ranging from 71.8 mg/L to over 1,038 mg/L. The specific technical requirements and sophisticated treatment challenges suggest a potentially significant contract value, though an exact budget range is not specified in the provided documents.
