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

This project includes supplying all labor, materials, tools, equipment, supplies, permit fees, disposal fees and all other incidental costs associated with the loading, lawful transportation, and lawful disposal in an approved Type II landfill (or approved site) of belt press solids (biosolids) generated by the Kalamazoo Water Reclamation Plant (KWRP) located at 1415 North Harrison Street. The belt press solids are generated twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, year- round. Any interruption in the residual solid generation at KWRP plant due to the inability or failure of the Contractor to perform his/her duties as specified herein is unacceptable and will be deemed to be a violation of the terms of this contract. PENALTY CLAUSE: Any unplanned shutdowns due to lack of Contractor response time, failure to provide equipment, or failure to provide service, shall be assessed a penalty of up to $5,000 per occurrence. The quality of belt press solids generated is a function of the raw sewage quality and operation of the solid stabilization process at the KWRP. Belt press solids normally generated for disposal are Dewatered Primary and Secondary Solids. Generated solids will be a minimum of 21% total solids. The amounts listed are estimates only based on current and projected production rates. Actual rates may be higher or lower and are for estimating purposes only. The belt press solids consist of inorganic solids, biomass and spent powdered activated carbon. The most recent sampling reports are included in Appendix B. Since the frequency of the operation and total quantities produced are estimates only, the City gives no guarantee as to the actual volume of belt press solids.
