Stevenson university wwtp raw sewage hauling

The Maryland Environmental Service is soliciting competitive sealed bids for raw sewage hauling services from Stevenson University's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) located in Baltimore County, Maryland. The project requires transportation of approximately 3.2 million gallons of raw wastewater annually from the Stevenson University WWTP at 1525 Greenspring Valley Road to the Freedom District WWTP in Sykesville, Maryland. Qualified contractors must have at least five years of liquid waste hauling experience in Maryland and possess Baltimore County Health Department licensing for their equipment. The contract term is one year with four additional one-year renewal options at the agency's discretion, and contractors must be available on-call 24 hours per day with a three-hour emergency response capability. Bids are due August 27, 2025, by 1:00 PM and must be submitted electronically through the MES Procurement Portal, with questions accepted until August 13, 2025. Site visits can be arranged by contacting Dave Coale at least 24 hours in advance. Evaluation will be based on the lowest responsive bid price from responsible contractors meeting the qualification requirements.

The contract has no specific set-aside designations or minority business enterprise (MBE) subcontracting participation goals. There are no bonding requirements for this solicitation, and the contract is non-exclusive, allowing Maryland Environmental Service to employ other contractors during the contract term. Compensation will be based on a per-gallon rate with monthly invoicing, and contractors must incorporate all associated costs including disposal fees, fuel surcharges, and permitting fees into their unit pricing. The estimated contract volume is approximately 600 loads per year, using 6,000-gallon tanker trucks, though this quantity is not a fixed amount. Payment will be made at unit prices that include delivery and freight charges, with prices to be provided for each year of the potential five-year contract period. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, bidders will be required to submit comprehensive pricing that covers all operational expenses associated with the raw sewage hauling service.
