Free Acceptance of Material to be Repurposed as Landfill Cover Material for Prince George’s County Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill

The Maryland Environmental Service (MES) is issuing a Request for Interest (RFI) on behalf of Prince George's County to procure clean fill material for delivery to the Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill (BSRSL) and the neighboring Barger Tract storage area. The material will be repurposed as daily cover, intermediate cover, and final cover at the landfill and must meet all Maryland Department of Environment (MDE) requirements for cover soil acceptance. Respondents must provide comprehensive soil analytics from a Maryland Department of Environment State Certified Water Quality Laboratory, including full toxicity characteristic leaching procedures, PCB analysis, total petroleum hydrocarbons, and comprehensive metals testing, with a minimum of one sample per material source and one sample per 5,000 cubic yards of material delivered. Material delivery is anticipated to occur from the Notice to Proceed through June 30, 2026, with potential extension for two additional one-year periods at MES's discretion. Key deadlines include a pre-proposal conference on January 23, 2026 at 11:00 AM, site visits on January 28, 2026 at 11:00 AM, a questions deadline of January 30, 2026 at 1:00 PM, and RFI responses due February 6, 2026 at 1:00 PM. Material can only be accepted Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and contractors must comply with all route restrictions, speed limits, traffic laws, and dust control requirements, or face exclusion from the landfill.

The RFI does not identify any set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to specific types of organizations or disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed, and material may be accepted from multiple parties, though responses to this RFI do not guarantee material acceptance. Contractors are responsible for obtaining all necessary permits, licenses, and insurance, as well as providing equipment, fuel, and dust control measures for delivery operations. The solicitation does not specify an award value or budget range; instead, it establishes material acceptance criteria and operational requirements for qualified vendors. Respondents should note that all costs associated with preparation and submission of RFI responses are the responsibility of the contractor, and additional material sampling may be required at MES's discretion beyond the minimum sampling requirements outlined.
