761/19356. SAR; Richfield Landfill - Leachate Disposal

The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) is procuring leachate disposal services for the closed Richfield Landfill located at 11145 E. Mt. Morris Road in Davison, Genesee County, Michigan. The procurement involves pumping, transporting, and disposing of approximately 2,800,000 gallons of non-hazardous leachate from multiple tanks and the South Active Remediation System over a 365-day contract period. Key deliverables include monthly reports detailing daily and monthly quantities of leachate hauled off-site, with the contractor responsible for all aspects of leachate removal and disposal. The bid requires a 5% bid security and will be evaluated on a best value basis, considering both price and qualitative components such as technical approach, quality of proposed personnel, and management plans. A mandatory pre-bid site walk-through was conducted on July 16, 2019, with electronic bids due on July 31, 2019, at 2:00 P.M. local time. Questions were accepted until July 22, 2019, at 5:00 P.M., and bidders were required to upload all attachments to the SIGMA VSS system with individual file size limits of 6 MB.

Bidders may be eligible for a Qualified Disabled Veteran (QDV) preference and must comply with Michigan-based business certification requirements. The project does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises beyond the QDV preference. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the project includes extensive historical data on leachate volumes and compositions from 2011-2018, which potential bidders can review. The contract specifications indicate that the state will not entertain alternative bid proposals for PFAS compound removal during this procurement, though vendors may separately discuss potential alternative approaches. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the estimated leachate volume of 2,800,000 gallons provides a basis for potential bidders to calculate potential contract value. The project is associated with NIGP Codes 92629, 92645, and 92678, which relate to environmental and waste management services.
