Introduction & Purpose

Sampson County is seeking qualified contractors to provide on-call roadway cleanup services for

incidents involving animal by-products, animal waste, and related organic material spilled on

public roadways within the County.

Due to the County’s substantial agricultural industry, spills of this nature can and do occur with

some frequency. These roadway incidents may impact traffic safety, create strong nuisance

odors, and pose potential health and environmental concerns.

To support public safety and maintain functional transportation routes, the County requires a

reliable professional service provider capable of rapid response, proper containment, thorough

cleanup, and compliant disposal of spilled organic materials.

The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to establish a contract with a vendor who can

ensure timely, safe, and effective cleanup operations on an as-needed basis. The County intends

to award a contract to the proposer that best demonstrates the capability, experience, and value

necessary to support the County’s overall response readiness.

Scope of Work

The Contractor shall provide on-call emergency response, containment, cleanup, transportation,

and disposal of animal by-products, animal waste, agricultural residuals, and related organic

material spilled on public roadways, rights-of-way, drainage areas, ditches, and other impacted

sites within Sampson County, North Carolina. Services shall be performed in accordance with all

applicable federal, state, and local regulations, and in full coordination with authorized County

➢ Prevent further migration or runoff into storm drains, surface waters, soil, or

environmentally sensitive areas.

3. Site Cleaning, Disinfection & Deodorization

6. Documentation & Reporting

➢ Provide incident reports including photographs, narrative description of actions

taken, quantities of materials removed, and disposal documentation.

7. Coordination & Communication

NCDOT, and other responding agencies.

spills of varying scale.
