Addendum #1
Please note the following changes which have been made for clarification to this Invitation for Sealed Bid. This
addendum must be listed as Addendum #1 on the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RECEIPT OF
ADDENDA/AMENDMENTS FORM of the bid package as verification that you have received and are aware of

QUESTIONS/CLARIFICATION/CHANGES:
QUESTIONS:
1. Who is the current Incumbent?
a. This is the first time we have utilized this service, there is no incumbent.
2. Can you provide us with the last three invoices?
a. This is the first time we have utilized this service, there are no previous invoices.
3. Can we get verification on the estimated quantities it looks like it’s per month and not
annual?
a. I can possibly see utilizing the Seller to haul 30,000 gallons per day for 50-100 days
per year, at this point.
4. What permits are required by the City for hauling this material? Anything specific to the
City, County, water treatment facility, or Oklahoma DOT or Environment regulatory
agencies?
a. No real permits. Just understand DEQ permits us for a sludge management plan.
As a result, they have rules regarding if the material is spilled.
5. Can you provide daily waste volumes hauled per day for 2025?
a. We hauled about 20 million gallons in 2025. The daily amount would fluctuate, and
we don't haul on Sundays. There were times we would haul 90,000 per day when
we couldn't land apply. However, there are other days when only 30,000 were
hauled due to staffing (sick or vacation). We aim for 60,000 per day, but the plant
is in need of more waste removal.

Several parts of the Bid (Affidavits, Purchase Agreement) must be signed by an “Authorized

Authorized Agent for each of the following types of entities is as stated below:
o Corporations – the president, board chair or board vice chair (or the vice president if the corporation
was formed in Oklahoma) can sign; others can sign if they have and provide the City with (i) a corporate

VI for sample of a Certificate of Secretary)
o General Partnerships – any partner can sign to bind all partners.
o Limited Partnerships – the general partner must sign.
o Individuals – no additional authorization is required, but signatures must be witnessed and notarized.
o Sole Proprietorship – the owner can sign. Any other person can sign if s/he provides a recent Power
of Attorney, signed by the owner, authorizing him/her to bind the sole proprietorship.
o Limited Liability Company (LLC) – any manager of the LLC elected by the members of the LLC, or
any member signing as manager of the LLC. All other signers will need a Consent of Members signed
by all the Members of the LLC authorizing their signature on or up to 30 days before the date of their
signature. (See Section VI for sample of a Consent of Members)
Entities organized in states other than Oklahoma must follow the law of the state in which they are
organized.
