The purpose of this contract is to provide bagging services for the District’s composted biosolids for a three-year period. The contractor shall pick up composted biosolids from the Harlem Avenue Solids Management Area, bag the biosolids at an off-site location, and return the bagged biosolids to the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant.
The estimated cost for this contract is $45,000.00. The estimated 2020, 2021 and 2022 expenditures are $15,000.00 for each year, respectively.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement will not be included in this contract because the work takes place off-site at the contractor’s facility.
