Body
Dear Sir:
Request for proposal (RFP) documents have been prepared for 20-RFP-10 Professional Services to Market EQ Biosolids from the Harlem Avenue and Calumet Solids Management Areas, at the request of the Maintenance and Operations Department.
The purpose of this request for proposal is to obtain the services of a vendor to identify and secure additional outlets to beneficially reuse 30,000 dry tons of Exceptional Quality (EQ) biosolids (20,000 dry tons of EQ air-dried biosolids and 10,000 dry tons of EQ composted biosolids) from the Harlem Solids Management Area and Calumet Solids Management Area.
The estimated cost for this RFP is $200,000.00. The estimated 2020 and 2021 expenditures are $100,000.00 each year, respectively.
The Affirmative Action Appendix A will not be included in this RFP because the specialized nature of the services does not allow for direct or indirect subcontracting opportunities.
The tentative schedule for this request for proposal is as follows:
Advertise September 2, 2020
Proposals Received September 25, 2020
Award October 15, 2020
Completion December 31, 2021
Funds are available in 2020 in accounts 101-66000/69000-612430. Funds for subsequent year, 2021, are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for that year.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to advertise Contract 20-RFP-10.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations, EJS:BK:MAG:JR
Respectfully Submitted, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
