The City of Lima Wastewater Plant needs daily removal of Biosolids. Biosolids are black in color and have no noticeable odor. They are between 20% and 40% dry solids, and the product will not release water freely. All bidders must meet the requirements of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for bio solid transportation and disposal at a listed nonhazardous land fill of the contractor's choice. Plastic liner must be supplied by the hauler. These biosolids will be produced up to 12 months a year. Haulers will determine the means and method to haul biosolids, but need to plan on hauling approximately 250 wet tons in weeks when these biosolids are being produced. All bids must be made on the City's proposal form and in accordance with specifications available from and on file in the Purchasing Division. All bids shall contain the full name of each person or company interested in the bid. The City of Lima will consider all bid/RFP submissions to be public records, subject to disclosure under Ohio's Public Records laws. If any vendor believes any part of its submission is confidential or otherwise not covered under the public records laws, the vendor must also submit a redacted electronic version of its submission in pdf format only. Failure to submit a redacted version will be considered to mean the Vendor acquiesces in the city's determination that the submission is a public record.
