SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Water Resources staff is requesting Council approval of Contract No. 32600127 with Republic Services,
Inc. for the disposal of biosolids byproduct produced by the City's four wastewater treatment facilities. If
approved, these services will be provided in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 per year for the next
five years, for a contract total of $5,000,000.
The wastewater treatment process at all four City-operated facilities creates both a liquid and biosolid
residual that must be properly disposed of in accordance with their designated operating permit
requirements. Each facility has an active Biosolids Management Plan prepared to ensure compliance
with these permits. The Plan outlines the process for disposal that ensures public safety, worker safety,
reliable service, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Part of this plan is the transport of the
biosolid residuals to a landfill for proper disposal. Approval of this contract will ensure compliance is
maintained.
This is one of four contracts selected through the competitive bidding process.
BENEFITS:
Continuing to meet liquid and biosolid disposal regulatory requirements set forth by ADEQ and MCESD.
