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

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR), in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), collectively called Departments, was provided with $1 million ($1M) in the 2021-23 state budget for a collection and disposal program for PFAS-containing firefighting foam (aka waste foam or firefighting foam with intentionally added PFAS). For the purpose of this program and document, the Departments consider PFAS-containing to mean with intentionally added PFAS. In April 2022, the Departments released a survey to the Wisconsin firefighting community to gather information about the specific amounts, types and locations of waste foams for disposal. As of July 13, 2022, respondents identified a total of approximately 24,600 gallons of waste foam. (See Appendix A, Survey Results). Because only one-third of known Wisconsin fire departments responded to this survey, this amount may underestimate the actual amount of waste foam. The Departments expect that the total collection amount will be limited by the level of funding for collection and disposal and not by the amount of waste foam. The Departments anticipate the collection of waste foam will commence in late summer or early fall 2022 and will be awarded to one contractor.
