Class B Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) Removal And Disposal

The City of Santa Monica is soliciting proposals for the complete removal, cleaning, and disposal of Class B Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF), including PFAS and PFOA, from 12 fire department vehicles. The scope of work involves 10 Type 1 Engines, one Aircraft Rescue vehicle, and one Aircraft Rescue Utility vehicle, with a combined AFFF tank capacity of 672 gallons. The selected vendor must perform off-site disposal at a designated hazardous waste facility outside the city, adhering to EPA Method 537 for vehicles and EPA Method 1633 for rinsate. Key deliverables include waybills and invoices for waste disposal and a final report featuring laboratory analysis to validate cleanliness levels. The contract is an RFP with a response deadline of November 4, 2026, and requires electronic submission via the City's Online Vendor Portal. Award decisions will be based on the best bidder, considering factors such as service quality, bidder capability, financial resources, and performance timelines, rather than solely on the lowest price. Vendors must provide specific certifications, including AFFF removal certification, non-collusion declarations, and compliance with the Levine Act and the City's non-discrimination policy. The agreement is F.O.B. destination, with payment terms of 30 days upon receipt of a valid invoice. The City also retains the option to extend the contract for four additional one-year renewal periods.
