Description
East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) is seeking qualified professional engineering consultants to conduct a comprehensive study of biosolids‑management alternatives for its Main Wastewater Treatment Plant. The effort is broken into six topical study areas (in‑house land‑application, storage facility design, composting, rail/barge transportation, carbon‑market potential, and other innovative beneficial‑use concepts). Proposers may bid on any single topic or any combination, and the District may award one or multiple contracts. The contract will be a one‑year cost‑reimbursement (not‑to‑exceed) agreement with an optional one‑year renewal.
• Scope includes feasibility analyses, conceptual designs, cost estimates, permitting pathways, and carbon‑credit assessments.
• Deliverables are primarily studies and conceptual layouts (≈10 % design) for storage and compost facilities, plus transportation and emerging‑technology evaluations.
• Budget envelope for the entire effort is $300,000; the District will award based on technical merit, experience, and SBE/DVBE preference points.
