Project Need

The City of Healdsburg (City) is seeking bids from qualified contractors to haul biosolids from the

City’s Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) to a contractor-identified disposal facility Authorized for

this purpose.

The City’s Utility Department operates a Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) located at 340 Foreman

Lane, Healdsburg California. The WRF generates approximately 40 to 60 tons of dewatered biosolids

each week. The dewatered biosolids are typically 16 percent solids, dewatered via centrifuge, and

considered Class B biosolids per the EPA 503 regulations.

Currently, the biosolids are loaded onto a nominally 40-foot long end dump trailer and hauled away

for landfill disposal. The City is aware that California Assembly Bill 1383 (AB1383) will

potentially impact landfills’ capacity to receive organic materials such as biosolids. The

successful bidder will be responsible for disposal of the City’s biosolids in a manner that

complies with state and federal laws and regulations. The City wishes to identify the hauler of

biosolids that will haul and properly dispose of the biosolids at

the lowest cost to the rate payers.
