Landfill Gas Blower Skid

The Horry County Solid Waste Authority (HCSWA) is seeking bids for a Landfill Gas Blower Station Upgrade Project to be submitted electronically via BidNet by November 26, 2025, at 4:00 P.M. EDT. The procurement involves furnishing a complete blower/treatment skid with equipment, parts, materials, and electronics for installation at the landfill site on Highway 90 near Conway, South Carolina. The project requires a blower system capable of extracting and processing up to 3,000 SCFM of landfill gas with 50% or greater methane content, compatible with existing candlestick flare systems and internal combustion landfill gas engines. Key performance requirements include maintaining 1.8 PSIG outlet pressure, maximum gas temperature of 135F, 0.3 micron gas filtration, and 80% relative humidity droplet-free gas at the outlet. Bidders must demonstrate experience by providing evidence of completing at least five similar landfill gas blower station skid projects in the United States within the last five years. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference call is scheduled for November 11, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. EDT, and site visits can be arranged Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The solicitation requires bidders to submit both a Bid Bond and Performance Bond, with bids remaining valid for 30 days after submission. There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types mentioned in the documents. The project includes optional bid items such as lowering outlet gas temperature to 100 degrees Fahrenheit and increasing outlet gas pressure to 2.5 PSIG. The bid structure includes multiple line items covering the blower system package, freight, taxes, start-up and training services, and spare parts, with a payment schedule featuring six progressive payments tied to project milestones. Comprehensive insurance coverage will be required, and the contract includes a two-year correction period for equipment warranties. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project and the detailed technical requirements suggest a significant capital investment. HCSWA reserves the right to accept or reject any proposals, negotiate with bidders, and award the contract to a vendor other than the lowest bidder, with potential disqualification for vendors currently involved in litigation or contractual disputes with the authority.
