Septic Tank Cleaning Services - Philippe Park Restroom #5

Pinellas County is seeking a contractor for Septic Tank Cleaning Services for Philippe Park Restroom #5, issued through Invitation to Quote (ITQ) #23-0718-ITQ. The procurement involves weekly cleaning services for a 3,000-gallon septic tank located at 2525 Phillippe Pkwy in Safety Harbor, Florida. Services will be required one time per week between 7:00am and sunset, continuing until the restroom is integrated into the City of Safety Harbor's sewer system. The contract term is 12 months from the award date, with an anticipated 52 total cleaning services, historically pumping approximately 1,000 gallons of waste per service. Vendors must submit comprehensive responses by April 24, 2023, at 3:00 pm, with questions accepted until April 13, 2023. Evaluation criteria will likely include vendor qualifications, references, and the ability to meet technical specifications for septic tank cleaning services. Vendors must provide comprehensive documentation, including vendor references demonstrating experience in similar municipal service contracts.

The solicitation includes a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) sheltered market designation, restricted to qualified firms in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, and Manatee Counties. SBE participants must have annual sales not exceeding $3 million for goods/services or $8 million for construction, and maintain an average of 50 or fewer employees over three years. Vendors are required to carry comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, general liability, automobile liability, and pollution legal liability insurance with specific minimum coverage amounts. The county will accept electronic payments through an ePayables credit card system, offering flexibility in payment methods. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the weekly service nature and anticipated 52 cleanings suggest a moderate-value contract. Interested vendors must complete all required documentation, including a vendor submittal form, W-9, references, and insurance certificates, to be considered for the contract award.
