- Description
- The United States Section, International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC), intends to issue a service contract for the removal and disposal of biosolids (sludge) located at the Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant (NIWTP, Rio Rico, Arizona using commercial practice, Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 12. The contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, supplies, and transportation necessary to perform for the removal, and daily disposal of sludge produced from the NIWTP. Sludge will be removed as dewatered digested sludge with a minimum of 16% solids, estimated at 21,000 wet tons/year (3,365 dry tons per year). The NIWTP does not have storage capabilities for the sludge and will therefore have to load sludge trailers directly from the belt presses. The contractor will need to either a) keep a sufficient number of trailers on site for NIWTP personnel to fill with sludge and move with NIWTP equipment until such time as the contractor can retrieve them on a daily basis or b) cycle sludge hauling trailers and trucks through the plant such that there is a truck being loaded and a truck waiting to be loaded on a daily basis. Operations of belt presses will occur Monday through Friday during normal business hours. Removal and disposal of all sludge will be in accordance with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES) Permit and Aquifer Protection Permit for the NIWTP. Sludge produced by the NIWTP is Class B Sludge as defined by 40CFR part 503 that can be disposed by land application to agricultural lands not used for human consumption crops, or at a landfill disposal site.
