Wastewater Siphon Cleaning

The City of Fort Worth is requesting proposals for an as-needed wastewater siphon cleaning agreement for the Water Department, with proposals due August 20, 2026. Work is performed throughout Fort Worth's wastewater system on a flexible, on-demand basis initiated by the Water Department rather than on a scheduled maintenance cycle.

The scope includes cleaning and maintenance of wastewater siphons to ensure proper operation and prevent blockages or system failures. The exact quantities and frequency of cleaning events are not predetermined but will be determined based on operational needs and system conditions throughout the contract term. Contractors must demonstrate proficiency in siphon cleaning techniques and possess appropriate licensing and insurance. Equipment capabilities and availability for emergency response are required qualifications.

The pricing structure and specific contract terms, including labor rates, equipment costs, response time requirements, and contract duration, are to be established through the proposal and negotiation process. No contract value, term length, or performance metrics are specified in advance. The Water Department will evaluate proposals based on qualifications, experience with wastewater siphon systems, equipment capabilities, availability for emergency response, and pricing competitiveness.
