This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Florida City, Florida. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

Our storage area is limited in size, and so we are requesting bidders to provide a price per cubic yard to remove and dispose spent lime approx. two (2) times per year, or approx. four (4) times for the contract period of two-years. FKAA PERSONNEL WILL LOAD THE TRUCKS FOR HAULING. Sludge Storage Area: The successful bidder will be required to mobilize and remove sludge "tailings", a byproduct of the treatment process, amounting to approximately 12,000 Cu Yds twice a year. This will be done approx. two (2) times per contract year or approx. four (4) times for the contract period of two-years. No escalation clause is permitted during the contract period. (approx. 12,000cy x 4 = approx. 48,000cy) The Successful bidder "Company" is responsible for determining (through laboratory testing) and knowing the exact composition of constituent elements in the spent lime before removing. Our laboratory results have shown that the spent lime is 96% calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The remaining 4% contains various other elements that are removed from the raw water during the treatment process. A recent grab sample laboratory result taken from the lime pile is attached for your review. (See Pace Lab results from 2/22/2021.) Obtaining samples for additional laboratory analysis is the responsibility of the successful bidder "Company" and should be conducted prior to submitting your bid, if the bidder intends to use the material for reuse program. If the bidder also owns the receiver site, acknowledgement of the sludge acceptance, for reuse or storage, is confirmed by this bid. Receiver Site (if different from bidder): If the bidder has an approved and viable reuse program that meets all DERM/FDEP regulations, this information must be provided to the Florida Keys Aqueduct as a part of the bid proposal. If the bidder is attempting to establish a reuse program, the bidder must test the sludge for reuse and provide proper documentation of receivership from the second party. The receiver is required to obtain truck loads (3) for testing, at the cost and expense of the bidder. This is the responsibility of the successful bidder and must be conducted prior to submitting your bid and the receiver site acceptance. All reuse programs must meet DERM/FDEP approval for the handing of sludge. The bidder must provide the necessary insurance requirements prior to obtaining the test loads. If the receiver is just dumping the sludge at a certified DERM/FDEP waste site, no bulk product testing is required. Project length: The contract will cover the period beginning April 1, 2022 and continue through March 31, 2024. Available work hours are Monday through Friday between 8am & 5pm, excluding weekends and all Federal Holidays. If agreeable to both parties the contract can be extended by (3) additional (1) year periods. The intent to extend the contract must be made in writing and accepted by both parties no less than (60) days prior to the end of the contract period Cubic Yard Calculation: A mutually accepted, accurate method to track/record the number of cubic yards successfully hauled will be determined before the start of the project. Once agreed to, each truck will be loaded to the calculated capacity by FKAA personnel. Aqueduct personnel will visually inspect each truck and issue a ticket stub to each driver leaving the facility indicting cubic yards loaded. Payment will be based on the quantity of cubic yards hauled, totaled from all the ticket stubs. AWARDS: The FKAA reserves the right to accept any Bid or combination of Bid alternates which, in the FKAAs judgement will best serve the FKAAs interest, reject any and all Bids, to waive any and all informalities and/or irregularities, and to negotiate contract terms with the Successful Bidder, and the right to disregard all nonconforming, non-responsive, unbalanced or conditional Bids. The FKAA reserves the right to reject any one or all Bids, or any part of any Bid, to waive any informality in any Bid, and to award the purchase in the best interest of the FKAA. Discrepancies in the multiplication of units of work and/or unit prices will be resolved in favor of the unit price. Proof of insurance required upon award of bid. (See attached.)
