Expand Landfill Gas Collection System - Phase 6

The state of Maryland, specifically Cecil County and the Edgemont CDP, is seeking a comprehensive landfill gas collection system expansion project through a competitive procurement process. The contract opportunity, identified by the ID 678e57b197f3a6a905015e27, involves the installation of thirteen vertical landfill gas extraction wells with associated infrastructure components. Primary deliverables include the installation of gas lateral piping, backfill, and fittings to integrate the new extraction wells into the existing system, along with erosion and sediment control measures, site stabilization, and restoration. The project also requires survey work and record drawing preparation. Contractors will be responsible for comprehensive well integration, including potential add alternate bid items such as replacing a 24" HDPE landfill gas header pipe and existing remote well head valves, contingent on project budget availability. The procurement was posted on January 3, 2025, with proposals due by February 26, 2025, indicating a roughly eight-week solicitation period for interested contractors to prepare and submit their detailed technical and financial proposals.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly stated in the provided documentation, contractors should anticipate standard municipal procurement requirements for landfill infrastructure projects. The project appears to require specialized expertise in landfill gas extraction systems, environmental engineering, and infrastructure development. Potential bidders should demonstrate significant experience with complex gas collection system installations, environmental compliance, and technical integration capabilities. Although precise budget ranges are not specified, landfill gas infrastructure projects of this scale typically represent substantial municipal investments, potentially ranging from $500,000 to $2 million depending on specific technical requirements and site conditions. The project's technical complexity suggests that only contractors with proven experience in municipal waste management infrastructure, environmental engineering certifications, and demonstrated capability to manage complex infrastructure integration will be competitive in this procurement opportunity.
