Screen & Grit Debris Removal Services

The City of Rock Hill, South Carolina, through its Water & Sewer Utilities Department, is soliciting competitive bids for the removal and disposal of coarse screenings and fine screens/grit from the Manchester Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The contractor will be responsible for providing, maintaining, and servicing two dumpsters on-site—a 20-yard container for coarse screenings and a 30-yard container for grit—ensuring continuous availability and prompt removal within 48 business hours upon request. Full containers must be replaced with empty ones to maintain uninterrupted service, and all debris must be transported with proper covering and disposed of exclusively at City-approved landfills, currently limited to Republic Services in Union County or Anson. Services are expected to be performed continuously, with performance evaluated based on responsiveness, reliability, compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, and adherence to customer service standards. Bids must be submitted electronically by 2:00 PM Eastern Time on August 20, 2026, through the City’s eProcurement portal, with no physical submissions permitted. The solicitation, identified as 2120-IFB, targets Firm-Fixed-Price contracts, and award will be made based on a trade-off process that prioritizes price while considering product quality, past performance, and full compliance with all requirements. Local vendors may receive a price preference adjustment of up to 5%, capped at $25,000. Contractors must hold a valid City of Rock Hill Business License, carry insurance with carriers rated A- or better by A.M. Best, and certify compliance with anti-debarment, immigration, and Iran divestment laws. No subcontracting is allowed without prior written approval, and the contract is contingent on annual appropriation of funds by the City Council, with termination occurring if funds are unavailable. Payment will be made monthly, subject to a 10% retainage held until final acceptance and submission of all required documentation, and all work must be performed in a good and workmanlike manner at the specified facility in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
