#32 Mississippi County.pdf

This is a Scope of Work document for Mississippi County, Arkansas, detailing a request for proposals for landfill closure and post-closure care services. The county seeks a qualified contractor to develop and implement a comprehensive closure plan for its existing landfill facility, including final cover system design, settlement monitoring, leachate management, gas management, and long-term maintenance protocols. The project encompasses the physical closure of the landfill in accordance with state and federal environmental regulations, with specific attention to cell-by-cell closure procedures and environmental compliance documentation. The document establishes a response deadline for interested bidders and outlines requirements for site visits to familiarize contractors with existing conditions, facility layout, and historical operational data. The contract term is structured to include initial closure activities followed by a post-closure care period, with the county anticipating a multi-year commitment for ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and regulatory reporting throughout the post-closure liability period.

Pricing shall be submitted on a task-order basis with detailed cost breakdowns for each phase of closure and post-closure activities, allowing the county flexibility in budget allocation and scheduling. The county has identified funding through its solid waste enterprise fund, which supports landfill operations and closure activities. No specific set-aside provisions or incumbent contractor preferences are noted. The project reflects the county's obligation to comply with Environmental Protection Agency and Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality closure standards, with all work subject to regulatory review and approval. The successful bidder must demonstrate experience with similar landfill closure projects, possess appropriate licensing and bonding capacity, and maintain liability insurance throughout the contract period.
