Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI)
Biosolids Forest Fertilization Program
The Regional District of Nanaimo Wastewater Services department is interested in receiving Expressions of Interest (EOI's) from suitably qualified firms to operate a biosolids forest fertilization program.Since 2003, RDN biosolids have been beneficially used in a forest fertilization program on private forest lands near Weigles Road in Nanaimo, British Columbia. In this program, RDN biosolids are diverted from the landfill and applied to forest land to improve tree growth.
The RDN is interested in receiving Expressions of Interest (EOI) from qualified firms to operate a biosolids forest fertilization program that meets the Organic Matter Recycling Regulation (OMRR) and all other federal, provincial, and local government regulatory requirements. The forest fertilization program will also meet conditions of shared land use agreements for the private forest lands.
Expressions of Interest (EOIs) will be assessed according to evaluation criteria established in this Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI). Respondents who submit an EOI that best meets the evaluation criteria may be invited to submit technical and financial proposals in a Request for Proposals (RFP) process.
