INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Chaffee County Landfill, located in Salida, CO, is a Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill that is owned and operated by Chaffee County (Owner). The County is required to construct a new disposal cell this year based on their current disposal rate. Cell 7 is 6.6 acres in size and is located upgradient of Phase 2 Cell 6, which means that a leachate sump is not required to be constructed as a part of this project. The liner system for Cell 7 includes a geosynthetic clay liner and a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane. In addition to connecting to Cell 6, the cell will also tie into Phase 1 of Cell 2, which is a compacted clay liner system.

Chaffee County Government is soliciting bids for a contractor to purchase, deliver, and install the geosynthetics for the liner system, including the GCL, and geomembrane. In addition, the contractor will be required to supply, deliver, and install turf reinforcement mat (TRM) for erosion control. The Contractor will also be responsible for supply and deliver the geotextile, which will be installed by the Owner above a sand drainage layer in the base area of the cell. All sitework construction activities, including earthwork, will be performed by Chaffee County Landfill and Chaffee County Road & Bridge Department Personnel.

The construction drawings and specifications were prepared by Sanborn, Head & Associates, Inc. (Sanborn Head), who will also be the Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) firm for this project. The documents were submitted to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) for approval, and it is expected that approval will be received prior to the start of construction. Included in this package are the Bid Documents for the Phase 2 Cell 7 Construction project at Chaffee County Landfill.

CONSTRUCTION

The project includes the following construction items:

• Supply and install Geosynthetic Clay Liner;

• Supply and install 60-mil, Double-Sided, Textured HDPE Geomembrane;
