Key deliverables include excavation and stockpiling of approximately 90,000 cubic yards, installing 3,200 linear feet of underdrain system, implementing a 234,200 square foot geosynthetic liner system, and completing a comprehensive leachate collection system. The Invitation to Bid (ITB# 24-032) was released on March 18, 2024, with a response deadline of April 24, 2024, at 2:00 pm.

The project requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial automobile, worker's compensation, commercial general liability, builder's risk, and pollution liability insurance with specific minimum limits.
