Landfill Liner Replacement & Repair Services

Chautauqua County is seeking a qualified contractor for Landfill Liner Replacement & Repair Services through an Invitation to Bid (ITB) numbered PW-1-25 PFS. The procurement requires a vendor with extensive experience in landfill liner installation, specifically requesting contractors with a minimum of ten years of demonstrated expertise. The scope of work involves removing and replacing designated landfill liners on an as-needed basis, directed by the County's Landfill engineer. Key deliverables include cutting and removing existing liner and geo-composite materials, replacing them with new materials, and ensuring all work is performed during standard business hours. Bid submission is scheduled for May 29, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with vendor questions due by May 22, 2025. Contractors must ensure all welders have recent certification and will be required to test weld seams using industry-standard vacuum box methods. The pricing structure includes three line items: mobilization (per-event lump sum), hourly rates for two workers, and hourly rates for equipment, parts, and materials.

The contract will have a base term ending in 2028, with potential for two additional one-year extensions. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, contractors must comply with New York State Prevailing Wage Rates and provide certified payroll records. Specific qualification requirements include maintaining proper surface preparation and equipment handling protocols, and meeting comprehensive insurance requirements. The County will supply HDPE liner and geocomposite material, which suggests potential integration considerations for the successful vendor. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement's detailed specifications and multi-year contract structure indicate a significant investment in landfill infrastructure maintenance. Prospective bidders must submit comprehensive references demonstrating their technical capabilities and provide documentation of their experience in similar large-scale landfill liner replacement projects.
