Summary:
Staff has reviewed the bids and recommends award to Southeast Environmental Contracting, Inc. (Southeast Environmental) in the amount of $13,688,980.00.
The purpose of this project is to furnish and install the final cover system for those portions of the side slope closure at the Bridgeway Acres Landfill that have reached their final elevation, to improve slope stability. The closure process includes but is not limited to grading, waste excavation, regrading and relocation, surveying and performing upgrades to the stormwater system, liner system, and final vegetative cover system. Total plan area of the final cover for closure is estimated to be thirty one (31) acres.
As a component of this project, two (2) new access roads will be constructed and include large culverts at the base of the slope and underneath water piping. The roads will allow access to the top of the landfill for future disposal purposes. Work also includes relocation of a portion of the Solid Waste Facility’s main twelve (12) inch sanitary sewer force main. The existing force main is located under the toe of the slope of the landfill and must be relocated in order to complete the side slope closure work and to maintain access to the force main for future maintenance requirements.
Background Information:
The Bridgeway Acres Landfill provides backup disposal to the Solid Waste Facility for ash from the Resource Recovery Facility and waste received in excess of the capacity of the Resource Recovery Facility. The site was previously permitted to a maximum height of ninety (90) feet with a 4:1 slope. Engineering studies were performed demonstrating that the landfill could be constructed with a 3:1 slope and height of one hundred fifty (150) feet, provided certain steps were taken to improve slope stability. The additional permitted height and change in slope provides for an approximate forty (40) additional years of disposal capacity.
Fiscal Impact:
Total Expenditure: $13,688,980.00
Funding for this project is derived from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund.
