Candelstick blower/flare skid system

The South Central Solid Waste Authority (SCSWA) is seeking proposals for a Candlestick Blower/Flare Skid System to be installed at the Corralitos Regional Landfill in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The procurement is a Request for Proposal (RFP) #21-13R for a comprehensive landfill gas collection and control system (GCCS) capable of extracting, moisture removal, and thermal destruction of up to 700 standard cubic feet per minute of landfill gas. The project stems from a 2019 Tier II Report indicating surface emissions exceeding 500 parts per million, necessitating EPA Title V compliance. Proposers must provide a system with an initial flaring capacity of 340 cfm, with full operational status required by October 7, 2021. The evaluation will utilize a weighted scoring system, with cost representing 40% of the total score, and other criteria including manufacturer qualifications (20%), project performance references (15%), methodology and approach (20%), and proposal clarity (5%). A pre-proposal virtual meeting is scheduled for January 5, 2021, with proposal submissions due on January 26, 2021, by 3:00 p.m. M.S.T.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for specific enterprise types. Proposers must submit comprehensive documentation, including technical specifications, manufacturer details, references, and a detailed cost breakdown. A minimum one-year warranty covering the entire blower/flare skid system and labor is required. The contract includes provisions for potential extension to other governmental entities, suggesting flexibility in future procurement. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation, the procurement is described as a one-time procurement with an estimated initial system capacity. The contract appears to be open to manufacturers and suppliers capable of meeting the technical specifications and performance requirements for landfill gas control systems, with a focus on technical capability, proven performance, and competitive pricing.
