WWTP Sludge Disposal Contract

[SanEnr1]

I need to prepare bid specifications for the contract transport and disposal of municipal sewage sludge. I intend to structure the bid such that the sludge can be disposed of as liquid or cake.

I am looking for specifications/contracts that other municipalities have used as a basis for developing my own. Any other helpful hits, lessons learned, advice would be appreciated.

SanEnr1, The first place to start is to get the sludge characterised. Is it hazardous or non-hazardous? And if hazardous, what are the hazardous components-concentrations. Are the pathogen levels high enough so that it cannot be used in land application? Once these types of questions are answered, you can determine transport/disposal requirements.

Hope this helps.

Understood. I have this information available, but did not post specifics as I am just looking for sample contracts. I will build my own specification based upon the characteristics of my sludge, but am looking for some samples.
