City of Kamloops awards nearly $4.5 million contract for biosolids management
KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops has awarded a local company a two-year biosolids management contract with a pricetag of more than $4 million.
The City announced today that it awarded the contract to Arrow Transportation Systems and Nutrigrow — a soil solutions company in Arrow’s environmental division. They’ll fulfill the contract in partnership with the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band (LSLIB).
The award was made after the city issued a negotiated request for proposal this past September, seeking proposals for a short-term solution to manage biosolids produced at the Kamloops Sewage Treatment Centre.
“The City is excited by this partnership that leverages Arrow and NutriGrow’s expertise in biosolids management and the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band’s environmental stewardship,” said Greg Wightman, the City’s Utility Services Manager, in a news release.
