Scope of Work

 

The City is requesting bids for the removal and hauling of lime from its Water Treatment Plant.   Lime residuals (sludge) have been used extensively in agriculture, land filling, road bed construction, as a cover for solid waste disposal, pH adjustment in septage treatment, in marl-pit operations, and emissions control for coal-fired generating plants.

 

In light of the fact that contractors remove this product, and generally either use it for their own use or sell it in various markets, the City is hopeful bidders will either pay the City for removing this product, or be willing to remove lime at no charge to the City.
