Underground Stormwater Treatment Systems:

Maintenance and Inspection Services 2026

Proposal

The City of St. Cloud is soliciting quotes from interested contractors for maintenance

and inspection services of underground structural stormwater treatment systems (e.g.

sumps, hydrodynamic separators, underground infiltration/isolator maintenance rows,

underground detention).

Background Information

The City of St. Cloud owns and maintains underground structural stormwater treatment

systems designed to capture and contain potential pollutants such as sediment, trash,

debris and floatable petroleum. Routine maintenance and inspection of the systems is

a priority of the City to ensure their function and to protect downstream water quality.

Scope of Services

The scope of service shall include maintenance and inspection services for

underground structural stormwater treatment systems detailed below. The selected

contractor will be responsible to provide maintenance and inspection services to the

City of St. Cloud for a one (1) year agreement, 2026.

Annual (2026) maintenance services will include the removal of sediment, trash, debris

and floatable material from approximately:

 25 sumps/skimmers/hydrodynamic separators; late spring or early summer.

 40 sumps/skimmers/hydrodynamic separators; fall.

 20 underground infiltration/isolator rows; fall.

 2 underground detention system sections; fall.

The contractor is required to effectively manage the bulk water in the underground

structural stormwater treatment practices, and the water used to complete

maintenance, in a manner where it is not discharged to the storm drain system or

waterways. Bulk water disposal shall be approved by the City to ensure the disposal

meets Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and City requirements and guidance.

Discharging bulk water to the City’s sanitary sewer system may be approved at one

designated location pending approval from the City where the contractor shall meet

125-micron filtering, petroleum filtering, and flow restriction requirements.

The contractor is required to haul, stockpile, and temporarily store all materials removed

from maintenance activities, and coordinate the loading, hauling, and disposal of the

materials to the approved landfill as selected by the City. All material shall be

stockpiled in a manner with appropriate best management practices to not impact on

the storm drain system, surface waters and groundwater. All materials removed during

maintenance shall be disposed of in the same calendar year that they are removed.

The City will coordinate and pay for materials testing, profiling and approval at the

landfill.

Inspection services shall include observation notes documented on a City provided

form during routine maintenance services of each practice. The City may request more

detailed inspection services and documentation of certain sites that may require

confined space entry.

The contractor shall provide a detailed/itemized summary of services completed on all

invoices.
