This is to procure a contract for sludge hauling services with Denali Water Solutions, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $840,000.

The Water Reclamation Department is requesting Council approve a contract with Denali Water Solutions, LLC, to haul and dispose of biosolids from the President Street facility. The department will utilize the agreement from the City of Northport, Alabama, contract number 23-01, Sludge Removal From the Wastewater Treatment Plant.  To maintain a healthy treatment process and avoid permit violations, the plant has to remove a calculated volume of solids. Currently, the department is not able to remove the desired pounds as a result of landfill operating hours and limitations on loading capacity. To sustain a treatment process, the facility must be able to dewater 24/7 without interruption. This arrangement will allow the department to explore long-term solutions relating to solids management.  The Water Reclamation Department recommends awarding the sludge hauling contract to Denali Water Solutions, LLC, using the "piggybacking" agreement with the City of Northport, Alabama. Under this agreement, Denali Water Solutions, LLC will be responsible for providing end dump trailers, and properly licensed CDL drivers to transport the material to the Waste Management landfill. The estimated annual volume to be transported is 25,000 tons.

Delivery: As needed. Terms: Net 30 days. The vendor is:
