Water Treatment Residuals and Water Reclamation Biosolids Handling and Disposal Services

The City is soliciting proposals from qualified contractors to provide comprehensive residuals and biosolids management services, including transportation, beneficial reuse, composting, landfill disposal (only when necessary), regulatory compliance support, and related services associated with materials generated at City treatment facilities. This may generally be accomplished through hauling of material to appropriate sites for Class B land application and performing actual application. It may also involve Class A distribution, other non-classified distribution of WTP residuals, or hauling material to properly licensed and permitted composting facilities or landfill facilities. The City seeks to maximize beneficial reuse opportunities, including land application as a soil amendment and processing into compost products. In circumstances where beneficial reuse is not practical or permissible, alternative management and disposal methods may be utilized only with prior approval from the City. On occasion, work may involve special projects at treatment plants such as, but not necessarily limited to, digester cleanout; lagoon cleanout, drying bed cleanout, etc. Pricing for special projects identified during the course of this contract will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis and authorized in writing by the Citys contract manager prior to any work occurring. The Contractor shall furnish all labor, supervision, personnel, equipment, vehicles, materials, permits, licenses, testing, sampling, reporting, management, and incidentals necessary to perform the work described herein in a safe, reliable, efficient, and environmentally compliant manner. The Contractor shall maintain sufficient personnel, equipment, disposal capacity, contingency plans, and backup facilities to ensure uninterrupted service throughout the term of the contract. The Contractor shall be responsible for identifying and acquiring new land application sites as necessary for a successful Class B land application program.
