SUBJECT:
title
Biosolids Transportation and Disposal
body
DEPARTMENT:
Environmental Services
SUMMARY:
As part of the process of wastewater treatment from the City’s permitted wastewater treatment facility (FDEP ID#FL0021431), the biosolids are pressed into a loose cake, tested for suitability for use as a fertilizer, and land-applied at places such as sod farms by a contract hauling company.
H&H Inc. was awarded a competitively bid contract with the City of Holly Hill in October 2019 for hauling and disposing of this sludge, which was for an initial period of three (3) years with two (2) optional 1-year renewals and allowances for annual cost adjustments. The City of Holly Hill has approved the final renewal, which extends the contract until October 2024 with a 4.8% increase in price to $31.35 per cubic yard. H&H Inc. has agreed to provide the same services to the City of Edgewater with the same terms, conditions, and pricing.
