RFP Sludge Removal Services 2024

First Paragraph:

Texas State University is seeking competitive proposals for Sludge Removal Services through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process. The University is soliciting services to remove sludge from various facilities on the main campus in San Marcos and the Round Rock campus, including cooling towers, oil/water separators, Contech units, and elevator pits. The estimated sludge volumes range from 500 to 11,000 gallons across the locations. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for July 12, 2024, at 11:00 am, and proposals are due by August 1, 2024, at 10:00 am. The University expects to award a one-year contract with options to renew for three additional one-year terms. Pricing must be submitted as fixed unit rates for labor and per-gallon charges, with limits on markup percentages for materials, equipment, and subcontracted work.

Second Paragraph:

The RFP indicates that subcontracting opportunities are probable for this procurement, and a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan is a required component of the proposal. The state's HUB goal for other services contracts is 26.0%. The RFP does not provide information on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify a budget range or award value. The solicitation is open to all qualified vendors capable of providing the requested sludge removal services in compliance with the RFP requirements.
